This meant that they too would need to become a person worthy of life long companionship. This meant picking up a book now and then, developing a personality, being a whole package. Being content with themself rather than hoping someone would "complete them". <BR/><BR/>I am amazed at both genders who think they deserve more than they are willing to offer. I am also disappointed when I see anyone "settle" because they fear being alone. <BR/><BR/>Young hot babes for the old geezers - to me, is the age old 'money for sex' routine. <BR/><BR/>In the end we get what we pay for.S'meehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12101359854973455791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9115587.post-1155258406492175942006-08-10T18:06:00.000-07:002006-08-10T18:06:00.000-07:00Since my mom passed away 2 years ago, my 86 year o...Since my mom passed away 2 years ago, my 86 year old father has a new girlfriend in his life. She's in her mid-late 50's--closer to my age! I don't get it personally, but perhaps it's the way it's always been. Men want young(er) women for all their reasons, and women...Well, many want security. I don't know, Kim. If I ever become single again, I won't remarry. I'll work on cultivating a good network of friends, both men and women. I'm glad your friend had a happy ending!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9115587.post-1155230790592980242006-08-10T10:26:00.000-07:002006-08-10T10:26:00.000-07:00ha! meggiecat, I did not even think of that aspect...ha! meggiecat, I did not even think of that aspect. And I wonder if the magic little blue pill has changed the scoop of the dating game. Hmmm, something to think about.

These 60+ geezers with their supply of little blue pills get to see eye candy bodies but what does the younger woman get to see? Also the prospect of getting to care for a sick old man and facing early widowhood sounds great doesn't it? It happened to my mother. Her good retirement years were spent as a nurse and it wasn't a happy deal at all. <BR/>Nora Ephron has written a series of essays about women and aging called I Feel Bad About My Neck. Me too, but not enough to do anything about it!meggiecathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908380074299822473noreply@blogger.com
