I'...I reveal my age (soon to be 26) when asked. I'm usually pretty good at guessing age so when I know she's more than 2 years older, I tend to stay away from conversation that could lead to that question. However, it seems while younger women aren't so concerned with my age, older ones always want to know. <br /><br />And there seems to be no way to get out of it. I've tried playfully giving a fake age (40), that apparently just makes people even more curious.<br /><br />My impression is that after all that has happened, they are hoping that I just happen to be a young looking agemate. Luckily, with the person I'm currently dating, that doesn't seem to matter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-617426134849640048.post-54563180116265899362010-06-01T17:19:57.112-04:002010-06-01T17:19:57.112-04:00@ Dirty Red - LMAO! You got me crackin up! I agree...@ Dirty Red - LMAO! You got me crackin up! I agree, you have to find something attractive about that person - whatever it is that do it for you. I can say in my most recent situation it was the man's personality elevated that elevated him, so I that I had to take another look. And it was another man's lack of personality that got him nexted. Like I can't constantly be the one making <i>you</i> crack up.<br /><br />It's funny I was just talking to a co-worker and she talmbout how she met this dude and he was, "cool as fan on high," but she was not physically attracted to him. And I get it. But sometimes I think women have in their heads (physically at least) the kind of man they are looking for. And um, hey boo, he may not be looking for you. I don't think you should ever settle or compromise on what you want/need in a relationship. But sometimes we need to open our minds a wee bit. A. Cause men do the choosin and have a buffet to chose from. B-Z. Cause stuff sags. Spreads. Fades. I mean if I'm still single at seventy and tryna find me a companion in the nursing home - my personality may be all that shines.

And don't think you can...Nope don't settle. And don't think you can "mold" a nigga into what you what him to be. If you think he is "chunky" now, you will think he is "chunky" 10 years from now. I believe that physical attraction is 75% of dating. A person has to be attractive to you from the start before you even give them a chance. It is what it is. I know good and damned well if I meet a woman and there is not a thing about her that I consider attractive, then a long lasting relationship is out.... I am not saying I won't hit.... LOL, but that will be all that it can be. There has to be something about a woman that I find attractive...Whether it is her eyes, smile, teeth, feet or whatever, there has to be something about her that catches my eye before I even want to get to know her mind. If there is not, then all I hear is BLAH,BLAH,BLAH head in the bathroom, BLAH BLAH BLAH, cum on your face? BLAH BLAH. I hate to sound so manish, but it is what it is. So again, don't settle. Wait for what you like, then do what you do. Anything else you are cheating yourself and your future husband.Dirty Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01508696230100618659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-617426134849640048.post-90692257747645239732010-05-31T20:33:15.416-04:002010-05-31T20:33:15.416-04:00@ Mrs Meany - LOL!

Either way it did make me reexamine what I thought was important to me and was a growing experience. But it's just funny that they stay stepping to me. I think that men can just go for broke and eventually they'll hit the proverbial jackpot. Lol.<br /><br />@ Kamakula - Get it! May I ask when you reveal how old you are? I find this totally fascinating. Maybe I need to take cougar notes.
