I know you
have all been dying to find out what I think about this topic so here
goes. Short answer, no.
Did you feel like a bullet just went
through your forehead? My sisters say I
can be pretty abrupt but my response is, I tell it to you straight. If you don’t want honesty, don’t ask me.
Now that you have stopped reeling, or
stopped laughing (hoping for the latter) I will tell you what I really think.
Unless you have the sex appeal (and
looks, and figure) of a movie star once you hit your 40’s the game starts to
slow down significantly. Prior to this
unmagical age you probably didn’t have to do any running or game playing but
suddenly you are barely there. By the
time you enter your 50’s you are INVISIBLE.
That’s the first fact.
Second fact, if you accept the above and
realize that you are going to have to work at it, very hard indeed, you have to
search for game. This is not easy
because the conventional areas are pretty sparse of the single species. You will have to go into risky territory,
like bars (forget it), or internet trolling (predators and liars), or start
random conversations with prospects on the bus (risky). So your victim is going to be very hard to
find, bottom line.
Third fact (bring out the Kleenex) if you
manage to find a likely prospect chances are while you might find this specimen
of some interest chances are great that if he shows a spark of interest it will
be in your pocketbook rather than you.
That’s right ladies, you are now a target for someone who is either looking
for a supplemental meal ticket or, worse, a nurse. Oh, and watch out for any prenups at this
stage of the game because he may exclude you from his “fortune” by giving it
all to the kids while he is eating and sleeping out of your home.
Last fact, take a look at your life. Right now you can buy a lipstick without
having an old coot jammer at the cost.
Right now you can jet off to Timbuktu without anyone whining that you
are spending his hard earned money.
Right now, Sister, you are way better off than with dubious Arm Candy.
No, romance for a senior is pretty darn
well NOT THERE. I rest my case.
