2 Oh I dunno. Sagging humps always turn me on.

3 My wife is 50 and smoking!

4 those Sex and the City sluts wouldn't be positive role models for whores

5 Hey!!! That's my date. How did you get her picture?!?!?!

6

"I fully expect and demand a beating."

Now THAT'S the kind of woman I'm lookin' for!!!

7 Don't make a maniac outta me!

8 I will NEVER be able to get that image out of my head.  Thanksabunch.

9 Do I need to call the Scooby Gang?

10 Is this shit broken again?  Sheesh.

Most impacted: Ace himself.

12 It was fixing to be a sad day when I had my first Crown & Coke Zero before anybody put up a post here. Thankfully I can begin drinking knowing that the crew is up and running on this POS.

13 I'm going to go wash my eyeballs now.

14 Nah, I pulled the post down quickly so Monty could have at least a few minutes of flaming skull glory before I finally bigfooted him.

15 For the love of all that is holy, could you please put the photo below the fold?

16 that's funny because you and pajama momma have been '35' for five years, now. Glad to know I'm not the only one aging around here.

17 MY EYES!!!!!!

18 I'd hit it.

19 btw, I mentioned the ridiculous tv show REAL HOUSEWIVES, yesterday. If that show isn't a deterrent for all young men to never marry...

20 I'd hit it.
(someone had to say it)

21

Wax the hump, baby! You know you want to, - and your little boytoy from down the block will love it.

22 Someone did say it.

23 That picture of you hides the hump pretty well, kudos to the photog.

24 15 For the love of all that is holy, could you please put the photo below the fold?

25 That is so obviously a picture of Ace in one of his better moments

26 Cannot unsee.  

27 Man, DrewM has really let himself go.

So to speak.

28

Anyone who thinks that G-d is not a vengeful G-d has not thought seriously about the fact that Sarah Jessica Parker is clearly divine punishment inflicted upon Matthew Broderick for accidently killing those two women in Ireland in 1987. 

A punishment worse than death, I say.

29 Counterpoint (and antidote to that picture): Cuddy's pole dance.

30 Kind of looks like Ann Coulter.

31

I don't know who to congratulate, but somebody did a pretty good job of photoshopping out your hump, Laura. You look almost natural.

32 Do not talk shit about Ann Coulter. Ever.

33

Not that I'm defending cougars or anything, but isn't it true that women in their 40s reach a sexual peak equivalent to men in their 20s? So, from a sexual partner standpoint, really the two pair well together.

And before anyone accuses me of hunting younger prey, I do not date men under 35 years old.

34 So, does the term "couger" only apply to older women/younger men, I hope? And not closer-to-40-than-30 somewhat sex obsessed women who go after men their own age? Because, honestly, I have no use for men I have to train first.

35

It's too bad there was no thoughtful a.m. commentary that Rush could have lifted.

This pic would have been a nice welcoming to his listeners!

AoS-- Come for the in-depth political commentary. Stay for the  ....oh hell, I don't even know. What does one call that thing at the top?

36

Lauraw,

Congrats on turning 40.  My wife is 46, and I think she's smoking hawt.  40 can be sexy, it all depends on how you approach it.  I don't mean go out and buy tube tops or miniskirts with rear handle bars.  Just play it as the wiser, more experienced mattress kitten you are.

It worked for me.

37 Pelosi's bed partner.

38 you slay me LW.....! dont worry 40 something women are always attractive....to the 60 something dudes...
Seriously though my wife is 42 and I will turn 49 this fall. We have been married for 22 years, granted she has aged a hell of a lot better than I , but the last 8 years of our marriage have been awesome!

39

"For the love of all that is holy, could you please put the photo below the fold?"

Sometimes, there are simply not enough folds to put something below...

40 Seriously?

Really?

Just wrong.

41

Do not talk shit about Ann Coulter. Ever.

I love A.C. Just making an observation.

42 Laura you deserve a hug not a beating. I'm still laughing my ass off and heartily agreeing with you at the same time. The whole "cougar" thing is a terrible side-effect of the sexual revolution's emasculation of the American man - mommy pays the bills, you don't know who your daddy is, and damn anyone who says that's wrong. Today's man is either a woman-beating thug or an apron-string-cosseted pussy with no in between allowed. I salute you.

43 And yes, that pic definitely needs to go below the fold or you'll be responsible for pink slips today.

44 Arizona Take Note!

I can help you with that.

Cuddy's pole dance.

Hello?  Johnson & Johnson?  I'd like to buy ten thousand shares, please.

47 Now, there are many many beautiful and sexy older women. But 40 is not, never will be, 'the new 20.' It's only the new 20 for those who never learned not to behave like an alleycat the first time around.

Hmmm.  I don't associate 20 with alleycat.  I associate it with independence, optimism, and freedom. 

I never 'felt my age' until a few years ago.  It began when I turned 40 but only because my eyes started to go - in other respects I still felt young (or ageless).  The feeling old(er) part and concomitant feelings of dependency, pessimism, and serfdom (for want of a better word) hit when I lost not one job but two in quick succession and realized how big a risk my hubby and I took moving out to California.  Then he had a health scare (now resolved, thankfully) and I really lost it.

I'm finally coming out of that and am starting to feel (and look) better than I have in quite a while.  Not quite a cougar, but one hell of a housecat. 

Anyway, I think 40 should be celebrated in women.  (And men.)  There really are some great looking women over 40 and, more importantly, are the ones who combine good looks with self-confidence. 

I've never really found anyone in their early 20s to be anywhere near as attractive as a person with equally good features in their 30s and 40s. 

In short, I wouldn't want to go back to my 20s.  I'd take a shot at my 30s again, but not my 20s. 

48 Who wants to be 20? Isn't everyone an idiot at 20?

49 I'll bet that old cougar has the confidence to "splash out" on herself. She probably doesn't even notice.

I'm always kind of amazed to realize that something exists with "sex" in the title that I have a complete lack of interest in.

50 18 I'd hit it.

Me too - with the Blade of Olympus.

"That's a man, baby!" - Austin Powers.

51

My wife is six years older and she's still my "cougar", lol. It's meant with affection. And on that note, It's time to repost Ben Franklin's great 1745 treatise:

"Advice to a Young Man on the Choice of a Mistress (1745).

June 25, 1745

My dear Friend,

I know of no Medicine fit to diminish the violent natural Inclinations you mention; and if I did, I think I should not communicate it to you. Marriage is the proper Remedy. It is the most natural State of Man, and therefore the State in which you are most likely to find solid Happiness. Your Reasons against entering into it at present, appear to me not well-founded. The circumstantial Advantages you have in View by postponing it, are not only uncertain, but they are small in comparison with that of the Thing itself, the being married and settled. It is the Man and Woman united that make the compleat human Being. Separate, she wants his Force of Body and Strength of Reason; he, her Softness, Sensibility and acute Discernment. Together they are more likely to succeed in the World. A single Man has not nearly the Value he would have in that State of Union. He is an incomplete Animal. He resembles the odd Half of a Pair of Scissars. If you get a prudent healthy Wife, your Industry in your Profession, with her good Economy, will be a Fortune sufficient.

But if you will not take this Counsel, and persist in thinking a Commerce with the Sex inevitable, then I repeat my former Advice, that in all your Amours you should prefer older Women to younger ones. You call this a Paradox, and demand my Reasons. They are these:

i. Because as they have more Knowledge of the World and their Minds are better stor'd with Observations, their Conversation is more improving and more lastingly agreable.

2. Because when Women cease to be handsome, they study to be good. To maintain their Influence over Men, they supply the Diminution of Beauty by an Augmentation of Utility. They learn to do a 1000 Services small and great, and are the most tender and useful of all Friends when you are sick. Thus they continue amiable. And hence there is hardly such a thing to be found as an old Woman who is not a good Woman.

3. Because there is less hazard of Children, which irregularly produc'd may be attended with much Inconvenience.

4. Because thro' more Experience, they are more prudent and discreet in conducting an Intrigue to prevent Suspicion. The Commerce with them is therefore safer with regard to your Reputation. And with regard to theirs, if the Affair should happen to be known, considerate People might be rather inclin'd to excuse an older Woman who would kindly take care of a younger Man, form his Manners by her good Counsels, and prevent his ruining his Health and Fortune among mercenary Prostitutes.

5. Because in every Animal that walks upright, the Deficiency of the Fluids that fill the Muscles appears first in the highest Part: The Face first grows lank and wrinkled; then the Neck; then the Breast and Arms; the lower Parts continuing to the last as plump as ever: So that covering all above with a Basket, and regarding only what is below the Girdle, it is impossible of two Women to know an old from a young one. And as in the dark all Cats are grey, the Pleasure of corporal Enjoyment with an older Woman is at least equal, and frequently superior, every Knack being by Practice capable of Improvement.

6. Because the Sin is less. The debauching a Virgin may be her Ruin, and make her for Life unhappy.

7. Because the Compunction is less. The having made a young Girl miserable may give you frequent bitter Reflections; none of which can attend the making an older Woman happy.

8thly and Lastly -- They are so grateful!!

Thus much for my Paradox. But still I advise you to marry directly; being sincerely Your affectionate Friend.

52

I always dated younger guys because they were the ones who asked me out. So I guess I was a cougar before it became fashionable. Current boyfriend is three years younger, which to my mind is not even an age difference.

(I never watched one episode of SITC or Friends or any of that nouveau-PoMo-sitcom pablum.. FWIW). Sometimes it's just genetics, or personality, or  plain old chemistry that comes into play.

53 What the fuck did we do to you you, Lauraw?

54 51 Who wants to be 20? Isn't everyone an idiot at 20?

I haven't a bloody clue.  Those who never grew up in the first place?

55

So a department store announces that an "analysis" shows an older market segment should do what their friends are doing and buy the store's stuff. Science!

Anyway, an attractive woman is an attractive woman, even after 40.

 

56 Mom?

57 For the love of all that is holy, I'm gonna have to go surf porn after that.  I really needed an excuse today.

58 34 Not that I'm defending cougars or anything, but isn't it true that women in their 40s reach a sexual peak equivalent to men in their 20s?

Maybe late 20s. After it's fallen off about 97% from age 15.

59

Being 40 is great actually, you are finally old enough that you truly stop giving a shit about a lot of things you obsessed about in your 20s and 30s.

And what is wrong with a 40 something woman wearing sexy lingerie? I mean as long as she doesn't look like the above depicted corpse granny.

60 Fascination with SATC has turned a good swath of the young ladies of my generation into shallow whores who are going to be very unhappy when they wonder why they're still single and never had "time" for kids when they turn 40.

61 You guys know I'm all about customer service, but this time the pic stays on top. This post was deliberately offensive, and hiding the pic ruins the effect.

42 Seriously?

Really?

Just wrong.

What do you mean?

62 I used to think that Meg Ryan was super hot but after she got all that plastic surgery several years ago she looks like her momma is from Venus and her daddy is from Mars.

I think those guys are miserable perverts, most probably dumping their first wife to try to recapture youth with a young bimbo. 

Mmmmmmm.  Young bimbos.

63 today, playing the role of Monty...is Curmudgeon.

64 I had to post something just so I don't have to look at that photo.

And I wouldn't hit her with Ace's Johnson.

65 Guess it's "SITC".  What they hell do I know.  I'm a guy.

66 It's what's below the folds in the picture that's grossing me out.

67

 

Thanks for the depressing post Laura!  I turned 50 this year and it was awful.  I feel 25, look 40, but the number to my age says that I'm all over.....although, after viewing that charming woman in the picture I'd say that I'm doing okay after all

I'm having a bad day and I guess I'm a little touchy on the age post...  If I wasn't at work, I'd have one of Pendejo Grande's cocktails!

68 ou guys know I'm all about customer service, but this time the pic stays on top. This post was deliberately offensive, and hiding the pic ruins the effect.


So......... no folds below the fold???

69

I've often said it, but it bears repeating: modern society played a really nasty trick on women. In most of human history, females used their younger years to find a mate and build a family. Then came the so-called "sexual revolution" that told them they could defer marriage and family indefinitely. Well, it turns out this is not so -- women who are unmarried at 40 are very likely to remain so.

Time works against women and in favor of men in the mating game. It's not fair, but that's how it is. Men tend to gain in power and prestige as they get older, which attracts younger women. Older women also gain in earning power, but this is less attractive to men in a prospective mate. Men look for sexual appeal, not earning power. Older women obviously chase younger men for the same basic reason, but women are far less likely then men to be in it only for sexual gratification.

This whole "cougar" phenomenon is going to lead to an entire generation of very emotionally damaged -- and single -- women, I think.

 

70 ...okay, nevermind, the Jonases are off the hook. For now. New target locked...

71 So that covering all above with a Basket, and regarding only what is below the Girdle, it is impossible of two Women to know an old from a young one.

Hmmm.  Is that why the traditional 26th wedding anniversary gift baskets, then? 

72

Why dudes go after women in their 20s is beyond me.  They may be hot, but damned if very many of them know what to do with what they got.  My personal rule when I was single was - no women under 30.  After 30, their libido kicks in and they've got some experience.  And most importantly, chances are higher that they can actually carry on a decent conversation.

That rule was flexible down to 28.

I mean, why do you hate us? That picture can never be unseen. You knew that, yet you posted it anyway.

74

ehhhh.  Lunch time!  A little courtesy here.

75 And what is wrong with a 40 something woman wearing sexy lingerie? I mean as long as she doesn't look like the above depicted corpse granny.


I don't even see a problem then, as long as she's not showing it to people who don't want to see it.  But I think that way about skanks in their teens and 20s, too...

76

lauraw has now guaranteed that our target advertisements today are going to be for things like Depends undergarments and denture cream.

77 I can't see the image, what am I missing/not missing?

78 I'm not sure I could hit that photo. Give me a few more years and gobs of valu-rite. Laura gets it. Not deluded by a fantasy TV show-unlike the hordes of delusional women that watched it.

79

You just made me puke into my Honey Bunches of Oats. I hope you're proud.

80 Laura, don't make me go all "GI Jane" on you.

81

Okay, so lingerie sales to women 40+ are up.  Why does the writer of the piece assume they/we are buying it for the benefit of younger men?

What a crock.  Give me a man with snow on the roof and fire in the furnace.  Those little boys wouldn't know what to do with this once I finished my lap dance anyway.

82 This whole "cougar" phenomenon is going to lead to an entire generation of very emotionally damaged -- and single -- women, I think.

I think it was brought about by an entire generation of emotionally damaged and single women.

(I'm pretty bitter than no one sat me down when I was 15 and told me that I could go to school and get a job etc, after I was married and had kids, but the inverse was unlikely to impossible.)

83 Laura, congrats on turning 40. It's a great age. Old enough to know better, and still young enough to enjoy it, even if you did know better. And my wife is 60, looks 45, and takes great care of herself. Of course, that results in me looking like her father instead of her husband, but wtf.

84 I can't see the image, what am I missing/not missing?


The cure for priapism.

The Viagra antidote.

85 82 I can't see the image, what am I missing/not missing?

You're not missing anything worth losing your sanity over.

86

This whole "cougar" phenomenon is going to lead to an entire generation of very emotionally damaged -- and single -- women, I think.

I think you are confusing cause and effect. There already *are* vast numbers of emotionally damaged and single middle aged women out there, who are looking to recapture glories--or get ones they never had to begin with.

87

 I can't see the image, what am I missing/not missing?

Try picturing your frail, old granny with a poofed up helmet of hair, leather suit, and sky high heels lounging on a bed.

88 Dayum, did someone dig Tammy Wynette out of the grave??

89 I still want to bang the tits off of Kristin Davis.

90

looking to recapture glories--or get ones they never had to begin with.

Exactly.  Feminism lied to em and BOY are they pissed.

91 My guess is you are investing in leather, and plastic surgery.

92 I gouged my eyes out, and now I can't remember what that picture looked like.

There's hope!

93 Feminism lied to em and BOY are they pissed.

Ayup.

94 "I still want to bang the tits off of Kristin Davis."

I've long thought she's one of the most perfectly beautiful women I've ever seen.  She just glows.

95 #97  Exactly.  Feminism lied to em and BOY are they pissed.

Unfortunate that it's too late for many of them.  The timing of biology can be quite unforgiving.

96 At 20, I had a newborn daughter and a husband. My 20s were spent pregnant/breastfeeding/changing diapers. I honestly felt like I had peeled 10 years off my age when I got divorced and I feel damn fine these days, for sure. I am glad I had the kids first, though. Never regretted that.

97

going to lead to an entire generation of very emotionally damaged

Going to lead? Monty, if you've talked to some women in their 20s, with the exception of our highly intelligent and well rounded moronettes here, a lot of them are already very emotionally damaged. These are girls who started giving blow jobs to boys when they were twelve. They are girls who have been raised to think the ideal body is size 0 and they are the first generation to be plugged in to all the social media, and the good and the bad that goes along with that. Drunk photos of you puking in an alley? Check. Mocking posts, texts, and twitters about you? Check. Boyfriends breaking up on FB? Check.

Our youth is fucked. Unfortunately, with the exception of some, they don't even realize it. They think their behavior is normal.

98 "giving the women confidence to splash out on themselves,"

Err, when older women start splashing out on themselves, it's time for Depends.  Just sayin'...

99 It puts the lotion on it's skin -- or it dries up and blows away.

At least you didn't post a current picture of Kerry Marie.

Now that is some funny right there. Thanks, Mesa. I needed a laugh after seeing that picture.

119 I still want to bang the tits off of Kristin Davis.

Testify.

120 "Heather Graham and Gwen Stefani both turned 40 this year. Both are hot as roof tar." Yep. I love Gwen. Everything I've heard about her is that she's a mom and wife first, musician second. I absolutely love that she's got her priorities on family.

121 I love cougars. Back when they were simply called "older women". I even married one. But I just turned 38 and now the older women are a lot closer to my age. And all of a sudden, that Miley Cyrus chick is starting to....well, better end it right there. I don't want an achy-breaky beatdown from daddy.

Memo to cougar lovers: the first rule of Cougar Lovers Club is to never tell the cougars you are a cougar lover. You must convince them that you like 'em young and supple, but that you're like just as hot.

122 Wait. George Jones is still alive? Seriously.

123 i don't see what the photo of Harry Reid has to do with the story. and anyone who thinks the 4 trannies from SITC are positive role models is too dumb to be working even in the fashion industry. also, lingerie is not seductive. it's just another layer to get through. pure nekkedness and wild abandon are seductive. provide pizza and it's irresistible.

124

One of the funniest Sex and the City episodes involved Kristin DavisÂ’ character (is she Charlotte?) and her purchase of the Rabbit.

 

OK, yes I watched Sex and the City, thatÂ’s beside the point.

125 Is that SNAPDRAGON??

126 I love the guy who apes 0bama on Rush's show.

(Was that racist phrasing?)

127

(I'm pretty bitter than no one sat me down when I was 15 and told me that I could go to school and get a job etc, after I was married and had kids, but the inverse was unlikely to impossible.)

There are a lot of reasons why this is so -- the cultural shift was too sudden and too absolute for people to be able to take the consequences in. Women, post-1945, went from being homemakers and wives to being a major component of the workforce. The 1960's brought along the concept of sexual freedom as well. The problem, of course, is that this change conflicted with everything everybody knew about interaction between the sexes in Western society. We had no template for dealing with the power-struggles and personal-life-vs-family issues. We still don't.

Men have been ruthlessly marginalized by the post-1960's cultural revolution. It wasn't entirely intentional, but it's happened nonetheless. Women were told that men weren't necessary, that marriage and family were more a "lifestyle" than a necessity, and that a woman could (and should!) define herself by her work rather than her home life. In short, the culture asked that women begin behaving more like men. Men were not willing to play along and act more feminine, so it led to the horrible schism you see in so many places today.

It's more of an urban phenomenon than a rural one, but one odd aspect of this problem that you see all around is that marriage is now considered mainly an upper-class thing. Poor people, women and men both, have pretty much dispensed with marriage. Poor men are much more likely to be unemployed for long periods of time than in previous ages, and  poor females are much more likely to be involved with many men -- multiple children often imply multiple fathers as well. And the economic burden is often borne by the county, state, and federal governments; the biological fathers are neither willing nor able to care for their offspring. The children themselves grow up rootless and confused, with no strong male presence in their lives.

There is some evidence that this culture is changing, albeit slowly, that the "hook up" culture of the 1990's and 2000's is giving way to a more traditional relationship model. But it will take years for the Millennials to establish cultural patterns, and I'm not hopeful that they will reverse the trend.

 

128

Wait. George Jones is still alive? Seriously.

Oh my yes. The "high-tech redneck" is still playing the casino circut. He's sober now at least.

129 Heather Graham is almost perfection (except being blond, I prefer brunettes). Stefani is too flat chested for my tastes.

In a few months, Padma Lakshmi turns 40. God damn, I'd hit that repeatedly, scar and all. Even knowing that I'd be dealing with Salman Rushdie's sloppy seconds.

130 I live in Vegas.  In a town chock-full of hotness, the hottest gal I know is 43 years old. 

I love me some cougars. 

/that thing in the picture ain't no cougar that I never heard of

131 I don't know what's going on around here - but my flag pole just wilted.

132

132 The one where she wouldn't leave her house for a week?  Yeah, that was a good one

I loved her character. And then "the pictures" came out. I never looked at Charlotte York the same. Sigh.

133 #132  OK, yes I watched Sex and the City, thatÂ’s beside the point.

Explains a great deal, (kidding, kidding!).

I once foolishly asked a woman asked a woman why she watched SATC.  She told me that it depicted "women's issues" accurately.

134

Men have been ruthlessly marginalized by the post-1960's cultural revolution. It wasn't entirely intentional, but it's happened nonetheless. Women were told that men weren't necessary, that marriage and family were more a "lifestyle" than a necessity, and that a woman could (and should!) define herself by her work rather than her home life. In short, the culture asked that women begin behaving more like men. Men were not willing to play along and act more feminine, so it led to the horrible schism you see in so many places today.

I am reminded of Gloria Steinem's statement that "what I want is a humanizing of gender roles--not an exchanging of them." Instead, what actually happened was a *denial* of gender roles. And the results have not turned out well at all.

135

Kristin Davis is not hawt.  There's another Kristin that is hawt.

 

Kristin Chenowith.

136

her purchase of the Rabbit.

When I grow up I want to be that Rabbit!

137 Houston Cougars are only about twenty miles down the road from me.

I think LauraW is the hawtness. She for sure doesn't get enough love.

139 #141 I don't know a single woman who watched SATC. My wife thought they were all spoiled whores.

140 This whole "cougar" phenomenon is going to lead to an entire generation of very emotionally damaged -- and single -- women, I think.

It's this attitude that allowing as many young men as possible to use you is somehow empowering. They're kidding themselves.

Me neither.  Assuming there's enough time for trend reverse before chaos sets in.

142 [sobbing] Damn you Laura. Damn you to hell. [sobbing]

143

Exactly laceyunderalls and then they had to do an intervention to get it away from her.

 

OK, I was pregnant and then going through a divorce through most of the first run of the series, what pictures of her came out?

144 I can't find the reference, but a sociologist some years ago proposed that 20-year-olds marry 40-year olds, and that after 20 years the couples divorce to let the now-40 partner marry a 20-year-old and let the now-60 partner marry a 60-year-old for companionship in old age.  The theory is that there's a better balance of sex drive between a 40-year-old woman and 20-year-old man or between a 40-year-old man and 20-year-old woman than between a man and woman of the same age.

145

She told me that it depicted "women's issues" accurately.

Bullshit. No women, including my friends who live in NYC have the issues depicted on that show. I watched it for amusement and for the sexy men.

146 When I grow up I want to be that Rabbit!

I think Nancy Pelosi owns that now.

147 See Mallamutt. I told you to shut off your webcam. They got a snapshot of you in drag.

148


y'know, if I was about 50 years older, honey . . .

149 147 #141 I don't know a single woman who watched SATC. My wife thought they were all spoiled whores.

This was a few years ago.  She was in her early 20's (we were lab partners).  If she ever grew out that decadence, I wouldn't know.

150 Cripes! Who sold the Wicked Witch of the West a black leather outfit? She looks positively.......something........scary?

151 I blame MTV's Spring Break for the hookup culture.

152

I looked at purchasing a Rabbit, but it was sort of scary. I donÂ’t need anything with that many moving parts coming near my ladybits.

153 "Those four old sluts were positive female role models? Oh my. Bitches, get right with God, put your head back on your shoulders, and kick that man-child out of your bed.**" This is why Lauraw kicks ass.

154

It's this attitude that allowing as many young men as possible to use you is somehow empowering. They're kidding themselves.

Yep. I used to see this in the poor, sad, overweight girls who'd put out just to get guys to pay attention to them. It never worked out like they thought it would -- it just meant that the guys called them "slut" as well as "fatso".

For most men, sex is just...sex. We disconnect the physical act from the emotions much more than women seem to be able to. I think that's why promiscuity is far more damaging to women than it is to men. Again, not fair; but Life Is Not Fair(tm), as I never tire of pointing out.

 

155

I once foolishly asked a woman asked a woman why she watched SATC.  She told me that it depicted "women's issues" accurately.

So what - now it's aired 24-7 on Lifetime TV?

My first exposure to that heinous network is burned on my brain. I was at a friend's, she was watching the last half hour of a show about a teenager who was kidnapped by a perv who was going to star her in internet porn. Of course right before the point of no return, the police bust into the dungeon and save the youngster.

Commercial break, next show comes on. This one is about a housewife terrorized by somebody, can't even recall who or what. I asked my friend "How can you watch this shit, every female character is a VICTIM! And besides, it's fracking depressing..."

*oh wait, never mind...*

156 I'd hit it....

157 "Sex and the City", a show about three old hookers and their mom.

/one of the only truly funny lines I ever saw on Family Guy

158

151  She made a sex tape or something in her early 20s. The vid didn't come out but someone had still shots of it. The douchy b/f then tried to sell the pics when she made it big.

Pretty icky.

Moral of the story--no f'ng cameras. Ever.

159

I looked at purchasing a Rabbit, but it was sort of scary. I donÂ’t need anything with that many moving parts coming near my ladybits.

 

Moving parts?  It's only moving on the inside.  The outside is just a.......rabbit looking thing.

160 "y'know, if I was about 50 years older, honey . . . "

Nah.  You'd keel over dead from asphyxiation from inhaling all the hairspray fumes.  She's gotta use at least a can a day to keep that huge helmet to stay still and fluffy.

161

So what - now it's aired 24-7 on Lifetime TV?

I love that show on Lifetime. You know, the one about that woman?

 

Lifetime: Where acting careers go to die and men are treated like shit.

162

It's this attitude that allowing as many young men as possible to use you is somehow empowering. They're kidding themselves.

Agreed.  Sexuality is an extremely powerful force and, like anything powerful, needs to be used wisely lest someone get hurt.  I've tried to instill that notion in my daughters.

163 The fascination with cougars is perfectly understandable. Sluts will always attract attention no matter what their age. If you don't believe me, google "granny porn." I'll wait. "Cougar" doesn't have a positive connotation. Just like a boxer who leads with his chin, she's going to get what she deserves. Lead with your vagina, you're going to get what you deserve, no matter what your age. What's laughable is that somehow we're supposed to believe that being a "cougar" is somehow empowering. Look, whore, these are some of the relationships you can expect: The Catch and Release The Pump and Dump The Flash-Bang The Hit and Run The Fuck and Duck (out the back door) The Screw and Through The "So Long and Thanks for All the Fish" So now you're middle-aged and with a va-jayjay that looks like a partially digested Red Baron Supreme Pizza. Enjoy your golden years. I'm sure your chlamydia pills will be covered under Medicare Part D.

164 Lifetime Television is the battered woman network. Seriously, with the exception of the Golden Girls (which is teh awesome--and also on W.E. Inow, I think), I can't think of a time where I haven't flipped past lifetime and seen a woman about to be beaten,  getting beaten, or just have been beaten.

165 Shoot gal, 40? I do not believes. 34 maybe. Maybe.

166 It's funny, this thread, since we were talking about those fo' ho's last night on the ONT.  Is this coincidence?

Happy Birthday, LauraW!

167

I spent an Hour on a Park Bench outside the Met with the Hawtness that is/was Angie Harmon. 

I was meeting my ex-girlfriend for luch and watching a stranger's dogs when she came over and asked if it was ok to pet them...when my ex came out of the Met and saw me chatting up teh hottest Brunette in NY she was a bit confused!

I would have done things to her.  Jason Seahorn or no. 

 It would have been the best 32 seconds of her life...

168

Has anyone ever watched Cougartown?

 

I saw the first episode and it was creepy. I love Modern Family, so I left the tv to see what was after it and caught the premier.

 

Hollywood has a really sick view on home life. If i recall correctly, Courtney Cox's son, who is like 16, walks in on her going down on some 20-something year old guy.  hahha..real funny stuff.

 

169 163 Now I watched it before I got satellite and could dvr star trek. It was the only thing on at 11:30. I sorta watched it to marvel at how f-ed up they were and how the producers, fans, and actresses didn't know that they were doing a documentary on how f-ed up your life gets when you are a godless slut with no redeeming characteristics.

170 When did Sarah Jessica Parker bleach her hair?

171

Laura,

You get hotter every day.  Don't let anyone tell you any different.

And this is hours before I even crack the seal on a bottle of ValuRite.

172

What gets me is that the 20 something women (again moronettes excluded) debase themselves regularly and they accept being treated poorly as some sort of feminist ideal, like they are the ones who are pulling one over on the guys.

 

And yet the young women who respect themselves, who treat their bodies with dignity, and who exhibit intelligence are mocked and dismissed and have difficulty finding men to date.

 

Kratos—sometimes I honestly think we’ve already reached “chaos.”

173

So now you're middle-aged and with a va-jayjay that looks like a partially digested Red Baron Supreme Pizza

Are you trying to gross me out or turn me on, because you're doing a little bit of each.

174

So now you're middle-aged and with a va-jayjay that looks like a partially digested Red Baron Supreme Pizza.

Boy, I coulda gone all day without that mental image....

My good old reprobate of an uncle would have said that it "looks like a worn-out catcher's mitt".

 

175

I spent an Hour on a Park Bench outside the Met with the Hawtness that is/was Angie Harmon. 

Forever IS.

176

How dare you Denegrate my Pizza!

 

177 I honestly do not understand how women can sleep around like that. Just what the hell is so "empowering" about letting a stranger into your body? EW. I'd rather have a lot of sex with one person than one night stands with many people. And get off my lawn.

178 The old bat looks like last years leftover ear of corn.

179 I think most women would be happy with Sex and the City lifestyles. Most women would happily end up alone, in trade for having as many Alpha males as possible.

Five minutes of Alpha beats five years of beta. Most women would rather have a five day affair with Charlie Sheen, even now, than be married to Jon Cryer.

That's just the way it is.

The flip side, is women should not expect chivalry, or really any concern whatsoever by men for them when they lose hotness. And face facts, women lose hotness quick. A woman's peak beauty is between 16-22. At age 27 she starts to lose beauty fast, and by age 35 most are not very pretty or sexy any more.

A few genetically gifted women can maintain a semblance of their former beauty, but the sad fact is a plain 18 year old will beat the most beautiful 50 year old. Christie Brinkley, a very beautiful 50+ woman, found that out when her husband was screwing a babysitter of IIRC, all of 17-18.

Our current model (and women would not have it any other way, they are the ones who created it) makes men irrelevant and un-needed except for being Charlie Sheen bad boys. But the flip side is ladies, all men care about is how hot you are.

Courteney Cox was smoking hot once, but now even a relatively plain gal like Amber Tamblyn will draw more heads than Cox.

180

I spent an Hour on a Park Bench outside the Met with the Hawtness that is/was Angie Harmon. 

Forever IS.

Her politics alone would make her hot.  Even if she weren't really, truly hot.

Is Jason Sehorn still alive?  He's as old as George Jones, isn't he?

She's a babe, but she also looks like she's just as smoking in person without makeup.

FIFY

185
Not that I'm defending cougars or anything, but isn't it true that women in their 40s reach a sexual peak equivalent to men in their 20s? So, from a sexual partner standpoint, really the two pair well together.

I like to talk (surprise!)

Have you ever tried to talk to a 20 something guy?

Does
Not
Work
For
Me.

186 I'd love to tell these young girls that handing out your body for free doesn't empower you but empowers the guys. Even if you think you are using the guy, they still win because they don't give a shit.

187

I still think this whole "there are no good men/women" thing is a crock. The problem is not that there is a shortage of decent people to date; the problem is that they're not attracted to decent people.

199 #180  Agreed and agreed.

Amen brother

 

Women lie to themselves. They always say they want a nice guy with a sense of humor, etc.  But if you look at who they date, it is always some dumb idiot who treats them like shit  and spends more time in the bathroom getting ready for a date than the girl does.

 

The next time a women describes Mr.Right, just compare that to the last 10 guys she's dated and you'll get a good idea of what she's really into.

They were shooting a Two-Parter there.  The Dogs were extras. 

 I was just reading a book and watching them while the Lady who owned them was 'indisposed'.  She was gone forever though...lucky me!

She was overly made up for the camera...I used the old -

"You shouldn't wear so much make-up." line from Ferris Bueller's day off.  Moch Charlie Sheen all you want.  That line works overtime!

 She laughed before I got to the ..."My sister wears too much make-up.  Everybody thinks she's a whore." portion of the program.

She was Alien Hot!?!?

Then there are the others that are either as big as a house or uglier than a camel..then you pray that they would put the abaya back on...no amount of brain bleach gets those images out of your mind...

216 "The girl of my dreams ain't even been born yet" Monty, you sick bastard!

217

I married a solid decade older than I am.  She and I make a great team, and we've made great children.

I was in my late 20's when we got married.  I'm in my early 30's now.

Basically, the appeal to her was that she had already "figured out" who she was.  And who she was just so happened to be someone that I really wanted to be with.

The biggest fear that I held from my previous long-term relationship stemmed from how much that person changed over the course of just a few years.  This person and I started dating while in college, and during the course of graduating, finding jobs that we were happy with and finding a place that we were happy with, all of a sudden I woke up one morning and realized that she and I both had become vastly different people than the two that had originally started dating.

And I attribute a lot of that "confusion time" that people in their 20's face now to what Monty and others are pointing out.  Girls grow up watching their mommies be mommies, and then all of a sudden, they get told by outside sources that HEY!  You don't have to do that if you don't want to!  Look at those yucky diapers!  Look at those ugly rubber gloves and dirty dishes!  How demeaning!  You can be President Vice President Secretary of State!  And now, all of a sudden, a girl who had spent years and years and years playing in her little kitchenette, cooking up little dinners of blocks and Play-Doh for her stuffed animals is shoved into a new paradigm.  What do I want to be?  Who the hell am I?

Am I saying that all women should aspire to be nothing more than housewives?  Certainly not.  I completely understand that it is a role that is not for everyone, and certainly not for the weak of heart (or stomach).  The problem comes from society re-scoping that role to be a dead-end.

It was a role my wife had never really gotten to experience much in her pre-reason life.  She'd always had to be a worker, and then a working-mother, and then a single-working-mother.  And now, she finally has the opportunity to be a stay-at-home mommy, and to her, the opportunity to now be one is an absolute blessing.

So really, to the Liberated Feminists of the world, I have to ask...why do you want to take away a child's mother?

218

Big Sausage Pizza

after # 13 the writing just went straight to hell!

219 So, what constitutes a "cougar", anyway?

'Cuz I'm almost 43, my sweetie's 36, and our cubs are under 4. 

Sorry, HeatherRadish....I know lots of ladies who did the "go to school, get a job and then get hitched and have kids" thing and it worked out fine, including my mama back in the prehistoric 60's.  (I shudder to think of what my life would have been like had I married my college boyfriend....he turned into a liberal wuss.  Praise the Lord, he at least didn't pollute the gene pool by having kids.) 

220 I could have sworn I rode in the same subway car as Angie Harmon back in 2001. Didn't have the guts to go up and ask her if she was her or not.

221 I had no idea that Phyllis Diller did porn!

222 "Will not be a cougar."

You're right, you won't, cougars still need to be hot for their age.

223

To a certain extent I agree with you Monty, especially when it comes to women in their 30s and up. However, having spent time with 20 somethings—way too many nieces and nephews, I do think that thanks to the debauched behavior of a lot of 20 something women the 20 something guys don’t even bother looking for someone to necessarily date anymore—it’s all about the hook-up.

 

I was sitting next to a group of 20 something guys in a bar one evening (and no, I wasnÂ’t trying to pick them up) and we got to talking about the hook up scene. The guys, all 5 of them, told me that they no longer bother asking women out because all they have to do is sit back and women will hit on them. In the course of a few hours at the bar (I was there to listen to a great band) I watched as 20 something chick after 20 something chick came up and hit on this table full of guys, took them onto the dance floor, and all but dry humped them there.

224

How dare you Denegrate my Pizza!

How did I become associated with pizza anyway?

prior to the outbreak of WW 1  Manfred and his brother Wolfgang opened a Pizza shop and delivered it by air to anywhere in Germany in 30 minutes.  After Manfred died Wolfgang renamed the using his brother's nom de guerre. Manfred then expanded the business to deliver anywhere in Europe in under 20 minutes, however he was forced to sell the company after a pizza delivering incident in Guernica, Spain sometime around April 26, 1937.

225 219 They're making another SATC movie?  Is the pic on this thread a screenshot?  How much vaseline can they rub on the lense for those old bags?  CGI is a wonderful thing I guess.

Isn't it to be based in Dubai?  That tolerant land where the British Foreign Office "warns that drinking alcohol, sharing a hotel room when unmarried and even holding hands could land visitors in trouble because of strict Muslim laws."
Stupid Hollywood gits.

231 Speaking of lovely women, Sean Duffy's wife is a babe.

232

As they say, it takes two to tango.

Any youngish guys out there care to admit that they prefer older women?

Post my first disastrous marriage (and still in recovery from a traumatized adolescence), I sure did. I was in my mid to late twenties (circa 1990's), I found older women with intelligence who could talk about politics and business and not just about the latest episode of "Friends" or Kurt Cobain's suicide.

At that time everyone in my immediate age range seemed to be married and not yet divorced, other than occassional forays with latina lovelies or the asian persuasion (in Northern Cali, the young women who like men don't speak english and the women who speak english don't like men).

In my late 20's, I found myself as either a teenybopper's "Old Man" who would buy them drinks because they could get into the club but could not buy, or an older lady's "boy toy". I definitely preferred the latter.

233 Cougars need to realize that they don't have to slut it up to get younger guys, most younger guys would jump at the chance to have sex with an older woman. Just be yourself and you'll still get laid, guarantee.

234

 I had no idea that Phyllis Diller did porn!

That's not Phylis... 

I spent my entire career covered in Sequins with my hand up that woman's ass!

 

235 Anyone see Angie Harmon in Agent Cody Banks?  Holy crap!!!

236

You sure you weren't at a pet store?

 

Well, maybe I was because there was also a “squid” model and a “duck” model and a “dolphin” model.

237 Spelled my name wrong!

238

Women lie to themselves.

Well, everyone does: it's the human condition. Tubby bald guys tell themselves that beautiful girls will like them if they have "character". Uggos like me look at their ghastly phiz in the mirror and think, "That's just rugged good looks, that's all that is!"

The problem is not human nature (at least, no more than it always has been). The problem is what the culture has done. In previous ages, men and women were (I think) far more realistic about home, family, and marriage than they are now. By necessity. Of course, the gender roles were far more clearly-defined then, and women probably caught the short end of the stick far more often than now. But female empowerment has, in our culture, meant disempowering men and children. Rather than accomodate the female aspirations into the culture, we blew the traditional model completely apart...and failed to offer anything to replace it.

The worst mistake we ever made, as a culture, was in transforming sex from a private act between committed adults into a pastime. People have sex as casually now as if they're getting a beer from teh fridge, and with about as much forethought or consideration for the consequences. Birth-control divorced the sexual act from its very purpose, and caused a massive disconnect between mind and body: the body still assumes that the act is to produce children, but the mind knows that a child is unlikely. The physical urge is strong, but the mental urge pushes the physical urge into places it probably shouldn't go. (I think all kinds of sexual deviancy are far more common now than in the old days for precisely this reason.)

 

239 The biggest fear that I held from my previous long-term relationship stemmed from how much that person changed over the course of just a few years.  This person and I started dating while in college, and during the course of graduating, finding jobs that we were happy with and finding a place that we were happy with, all of a sudden I woke up one morning and realized that she and I both had become vastly different people than the two that had originally started dating.

I'm going through the same thing right now.  Not pleasant.

240 I just turned 47. Hubby is 8 years younger than me. Our just turned 5.

I don't consider that cougarish.

241 Our son just turned 5. Sheesh.

242

I was sitting next to a group of 20 something guys in a bar one evening (and no, I wasnÂ’t trying to pick them up) and we got to talking about the hook up scene. The guys, all 5 of them, told me that they no longer bother asking women out because all they have to do is sit back and women will hit on them. In the course of a few hours at the bar (I was there to listen to a great band) I watched as 20 something chick after 20 something chick came up and hit on this table full of guys, took them onto the dance floor, and all but dry humped them there.

Leading with the vagina. Guys aren't going to say no to free vajizzle. "You mean I don't have to take you on a date or even buy you drinks all night? Sold!" It's different when you meet who you're meant to be with. I was so terrified of fucking things up with the girl who would become my wife, it was several dates before I could work up the nerve to kiss her goodnight. And I was 28, with a divorce a couple of years behind me. Quality will always tell.

243 They always say they want a nice guy with a sense of humor, etc.  But if you look at who they date, it is always some dumb idiot who treats them like shit  and spends more time in the bathroom getting ready for a date than the girl does.


Those are women who want a guy they can control/feel superior to.  I haven't the time of day for them...

244

Speaking of lovely women, Sean Duffy's wife is a babe.

She's from MTV's Real World.  They met during another Real World All Stars show. 

245 Crap, sock in #241 off

246 I read somewhere that one should refer to the following equation when addressing issues of Old vs Young:

First, figure out the true age of both parties.  No Cheating!
Take the older persons age, divide it by 2.
Take the remainder and add 7 years to it. This is your "Safe to Date" age.

If the younger person is, err, younger than your safe to date age, find someone older. 

Or your pillow talk will suffer dramatically.

Just sayin'.

247

Once again, people overcomplicate the matter.

Young, ripe, expired, it's all the same. Just tell us wimmin that we're right (about everything and anything) and you'll be square.

It's easy if you let it be.

252 They always say they want a nice guy with a sense of humor, etc.  But if you look at who they date, it is always some dumb idiot who treats them like shit  and spends more time in the bathroom getting ready for a date than the girl does.

Drama and security.....those are the two primary things sought by (some? most?  vast majority?...whatever) women.

Holy Shit.  Lots of fun left, AND just wait sweetie, menopause is a coming.

Get your fun in now, cause you got a good 2-5 years of total bitch a coming.

Women in menopause should be quarantined.

It would save a lot of marriages, and we wouldn't have to put up with the democrat bitches that run for office, aka, Nancy.

I am so sick of this shit. Laura and you Morons FUCK YOU for the hateful hating.
It's OK for you to make noise. This is NOT the kind of noise I want to hear right now! I want to hear you in my bed. Otherwise, we cougars feel like we are fucking a ninja. Unless you actually are a ninja, and have sneaked into our rooms with vibrating nanuchaku and zippered black pajamas, please, please make some noise. If you're banging a woman, and she's crying out and saying your name and moaning, and you can't even manage a grunt, she's going to feel like an idiot. You don't have to make the sounds she is making, but do SOMETHING. You know how when you are watching porn, and the girl does something great to the guy and the guy kind of goes "Ah!", half grunt, half yell? That's HOT. Do that. Whisper our name (assuming you know it) gruffly. Groan against our necks when you're in missionary position. You don't have to grunt like a mountain gorilla, but if you are totally mute, were going to get worried.

..and, Good lord, who do ya gotta blow to get a decent set of boobs around here?

I remember that.  As well as her entrance into the boys' locker room wearing that leather jumpsuit that looked painted on.  My right arm had never been stronger since then.

260

Agreed.  Sexuality is an extremely powerful force and, like anything powerful, needs to be used wisely lest someone get hurt.  I've tried to instill that notion in my daughters.

I also talk a lot with my 16 year old daughter on this very subject.  These kids are surrounded by a culture of ghetto whores and irresponsible males that continuouly repeat the mantra that being sexed up 24/7 and "hooking up" is no big deal.  Get pregnant?  get an abortion.  Get STD?  go to the clinic.  Easy right?    Just be a "Player" and life is good. 

 Being a parent today of kids is to continually fight the horde in hollywood and  the music industry.

265 I think Ann Coulter is a pretty woman.  I don't really understand why she catches flack for her appearance.  She's not a perfect 10.  Do women have to be 10s to offer commentary?

She's more attractive than the vast majority of men in that field.  She's no Meghan Kelly or Contessa Brewer (come on, she is fine eye candy), but she's more attractive than any women 95% of commenters here have ever been with.

On the other hand, her arguments are either banal or wrong.  She's one of those attention whore types.  I don't mind that, but she's not really worth paying attention to.  I just think it's strange that an attractive woman is bashed for being ugly.

Monty, part of it isn't society, it is technology.

How many of your parents or grandparents met in highschool, lived one town over from each other?  The days if marrying your highschool sweet heart are coming to an end.

People are "stuck" in one town their entire lives. they have more options and sometimes more options isn't better. It leads people to delude themselves into not accepting comprimises that are so crucial to long term marriages.

273 Speaking of deceiving oneself.

Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Wednesday his country would "definitely continue" its nuclear program despite Israeli threats of military action. Asked in an interview with ABC's "Good Morning America" program if that meant Iran was playing with fire in light of Israel's threat of a possible military strike, Ahmadinejad said it was not. "They're not a factor, in our defense doctrine, we don't even count them." (Reuters).

I know that each situation has it's own "nuance," but if I could do that chapter of my life over again:

I hate to break up the serious battle of the sexes with crass financial news, but the DJIA is absolutely tanking on news out of Europe. The Greek riots seem to have further convinced investors that the EU bailout will fail -- this fear is also leading them to short Portugal and Spain. I'm looking for a downgrade of Portugal's debt in the coming days from Standard and Poor's and maybe Moody's.

The US savings rate has dipped back after rising to nearly 5% last year. Why the switch back to consumerist behavior? Simple: zero-percent interest rates. What's the fricking point in banking your money? You're actually losing money on a passbook account if you take carrying costs, opportunity costs, and inflation into consideration.

The cultural shift has ruined more than just a young woman's behaviour.

Read an article about why they're in trouble.  The Constitution prevents firing gummint workers.  They can retire in their 40s.  Tax evasion is part of their national heritage.  They have a gummint commission to manage a lake that dried up in the 30s.

Sure, Capt, I'm a lefty queer.  Been here for 5 years.  Helped shoot down gay marriage in my state.  Lefty.  Queer. As far as "gorgeous," Capt, she's of the body type that so many fashion designers like because it most resembles a prepubescent boy.  Now, you say you like that.  Are you a homo?

Anyway she's horribly banal.  She says things that are designed just to shock (like Michael Savage) but they contain no real insights.  Tell me, what was the last good idea that Coulter had for conservatism?

I understand she's a talking head paid to demagogue, and not to analyze, but she's so playing the role, I can't think of her as anything but a circus act.

She's definitely smart, and a good ally, but she's far from "perfect" and everything she says in not right.  It's the sycophancy and strident defenses from anonymous tiny electronic characters on the internet that drive me buggy.

344

Now they've been given a 140 billion credit card that they're going to max out like a crack-whore with a stolen AMEX card.

I don't think so. First of all, there's the question of whether the money is actually going to arrive: Germany may yet scotch the deal on constitutional grounds. And the IMF will have very strict controls over how their portion can be used -- mainly to meet debt-maturation needs in May. That's what precipitated the crisis: a lot of Greek debt needs to roll over in about ten days, and the Greeks just haven't got the funds to cover it. Even if all the principals agree to pony up the cash, just getting the deal in place before the bonds mature is going to take some fancy dancing. And no matter what happens, the Greeks can pretty much forget about selling bonds to anyone but the ECB for a few years at reasonable interest rates.

The fact is that everyone knows that Greece needs to leave the Euro, and pronto. But the EU is still reacting with hurt pride at the very idea (the same pride that prevented them from calling the IMF until it was too late). I think events are going to force their hands -- the only way to save Greece now is to allow them to go back to the drachma and devalue the currency. But now that the infection has spread to Portugal and Spain, it's anybody's guess as to what the EU and ECB will do. Their credibility in the markets is shot; no one believes anything they say.

Yup, read that.  They're fucked and they're going to drag down all of Europe with them.  They'd be better off using that bailout money to pay to go back to the drachma.

Where are the younger versions of you hanging out?? I like dating older men, but the last guy was 37 (i'm 24) and I feel like I cant drop any younger than that and find intelligent life...bleh. Could also blame living in a semi-major city. Liberals are just a huuuuge turn off.

352 Why is Allahpundit ragged on so mercilessly here, when Ed Morrisey is even squishier?

Ed wears his hat backwards and has sunglasses. Hence he's cooler.

353

Why is Allahpundit ragged on so mercilessly here, when Ed Morrisey is even squishier?

Because Ed isn't as annoying as Allah?  He's also a hella better writer than he is too.  I can't stand reading any of Allah's posts anymore.

Don't get me started.  Ed is worthless.  I used to read AllahIsInTheHouse, so I'm a big fan.  Though he's not as hysterically funny as he used to be.

I can answer that. You stated that:

The men are lacking initiative in dating.

That's because they are afraid to "come out" so to speak, given the intimidation of the Left on campuses, and it's residual effect can last well into the late twenties. (I am assuming you are a student or were recently).

356

 

I've been taking a dump on Ed Morrissey ever since he said (Steve Harrigan?) those two FOX reporters did 'the right thing' by denouncing Christianity when they were captured.

357
Saluki, here's my unbiased old man advice:

Wear a tight shirt and jeans out to the club, but make sure the shirt is one of those obviously conservative shirts like "welcome back, Carter" or some such.  Conservative guys tend to need a signal that a girl is approachable, and/or on the same wavelength.

poly, when idiots stop trying to accuse me of being a lefty troll, I'll stop reminding everyone. 

361

Don't talk politics or religion with men (or women, for that matter), nor should you talk money.

Be quiet and watch your prospective paramours for hints as to which way they roll in all three departments -- if it appears as though they are nothing at all like you, leave them (gracefully of course).  Because, if you can't at least see eye to eye on politics, religion, and how a household should be managed, then you will likely never get along and your marriage will be miserable. 

Staying quiet about it at least ensures a few charming nights out on the town and no cat/dog fights.

Oh, and don't expect much more than fun in the sack from any man 25>; they just aren't ready for anything but that; conversely, don't expect any woman 21< to not be a bit jaded concerning true romance (they've been dealing with trying to wrest commitment from the 25> men).  Everythinbg becomes easier by 30 - 35, both sexes have started to give up a little by then, aren't so cussedly picky.

362 What about the early 20's chicks like me that have above normal intelligence, love talking politics, economics, world events etc, and do so articulately, but men my age are only looking for the easy lay or cant get anything out of thier mouth other than last night's baseball final score?

For the sake of my own sanity, I must now convince myself you are an illusion.

Begone, specter of the mind! BEGONE!

Now, I will cry myself to sleep, as I work with hippies.

I was. Out of school 2 years. Joined a few conservative groups here but pickens are slim! Good people and have an awesome social life, just not dating options. Lots of marrieds, too.  Sigh, i figure I might just continue on and hope to run into a guy on his 2nd round, older, wiser, all that...I'm not into training men.

Only when they're not looking - I like my job, despite all the mind-numbingly brainless things that come out of people's mouths.

Akshually it's not so bad, people generally respect my desire to not listen to their vapid political opinions. And it pays well.

Oh, and I forgot - BEGONE, spectre of the mind!

379

Sorry, my fellow morons, you're right.  I'm being too hard on AC, but only to cheese off you, Capt Leech.  It's just that when she says stupid things like "kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity" it just reinforces the caricature of conservatives.

That kind of help we don't need. 

Even if she's right (which she often is) she represents a net loss to advancing conservatism.

But she's witty, and to call her "Hannity" is a calumny that she should not bear.

This 42-year-old guy no longer goes to dance-clubs or bars (gave up drinking a long while back). I discovered over time that women who hang out in bars to find mates are...well, the kind of women who hang out in bars. I do occasionally venture out to listen to live music, but I'd much rather do so in a concert venue or dedicated music club: you don't have drunk assholes talking over the music or yelling "Freebird!".

I play music for friends and family, and can sometimes be enticed up onto a stage. I go to festivals a lot, and have met some nice ladies there.

"Common interests" I think is where it's at, at least when you pass the urgently-hormonal stage of your life. If you're dating life takes place in the club-scene, you're dooming yourself to disappointment.

I've learned to look for some "danger signs" in women over the years. I tend to overlook small tats these days because so many women have them (though I'm still not at all a fan), but the more tats (or the more garish the tats) the more a turn-off. Ditto piercings. (My theory is that if you'll let a perfect stranger poke you with something in one social context, you're probably willing to let a stranger do the same in a different social context. And I have never, ever, ever been proven wrong in this.) Avoid women who dump their whole life story on you within five minutes of first meeting. Avoid heavy drinkers as if all the hounds of hell lurk behind them. Some single moms might as well wear a "All I'm Interested In Is Your Money" sign; they beam out avarice like heat off a radiator.

that's a big bike for a girl...but it's okay because either size Sprtster is still a girl's bike

387

387  I'm old enough to have an almost legal drinking age kid, and young enough to have a 2 year old...and if my mindset was the same as it was in my twenties, my husband and I would probably be divorcing each other.

Fortunately, with age (and lack of options that come with age) comes a more patient and accepting attitude towards one's respective mate.  Let's face it, we're both probably not going to find anything better than each other at this point -- there is no greener grass on the other side of the fence, all the kids ate it, and we'd break our necks trying to get to it in the first place...so best to stay content with what one has.

That's not to say I don't wish from time to time that I had the figure I used to have, and could dress up in those cute clothes and do shit from back in the day (only better, because now I know what it's all about better)...but let's be honest here, at a point it's over, acknowledge and move on.  You can always daydream, but that's about it.

390 Hey LW: I also like the device of saying that I suppose I deserve a beating when I cross a line a bit, but I usually prefer to say a "severe beating". You know, gilding the lily and all. I do not ask for it though. I am small, but I am the oldest of eight with only two sisters, so I have skills as my brother used to say. The last gal pal was 15 years younger and hard to figure out at all. I just wanted to make her happier. I am not in any shape to be some sort of savior. Times are tough; so why not hang, play a bit, and try to laugh when you can? She was predictably a doe-eyed Obama supporter (cult member). She predicted early that he would win (prior to being nominated). I said the guy is not at all qualified. I don't think Hillary is either, but at least she has a brain. I did not look the guy up until it was apparent that he had a chance to get the nomination. I could not get her to look up anything. Anyone who did not do their due diligence and voted for Obama (hell, any Democrat) is a fool, and has absolutely no business complaining. I voted against Carter and for Ford! OK, that did not work out too well, but It worked great voting for Reagan. Strangely I have a personal note from Carter when he was at the WH (long strange trip and all). Frankly I am most amazed at how stupidly people voted in 2006 and 2008. This hate-Bush fantasy was bought by too many very gullible and ignorant folk. They hated Reagan too, but Reagan was able to get past the MFM. Sadly Bush is not that sort. He was not the greatest, but he is damn fine compared to the clowns we have now. This last gal pal corrected my pronunciation of a drug that my crazy college girlfriend took. Do you think that might have been a bad sign? She obviously ended up hating me; but she was constantly, from the get go, telling me she was a hater (also strangely that it was not my "job" to make her happy, as if I could--most depressed and depressing woman I have ever met). I know that this is typical of a leftist, but I really thought I might get a pass. I am supposed to be intelligent, but there is that being-a-guy thing holding me back!

Ann Coulter spends too much time preening and fussing with her hair ...., that is, when she isn't running around and hanging pictures of herself on every website on the internet. Imagine what her apartment looks like. No paint. No wallpaper. Just mirrors everywhere. Can't imagine why she doesn't have a boyfriend or a husband. Can you imagine being in bed with her, and then she puts you on-hold, while she tosses her head and places her hair behind her ear? (Giving you that wry, alluring grin of hers.)

394

You can identify the witty (and thus a keeper) quickly.

I employed much the same strategy, which is how I found BackwardsGirl. BTW, she's seven years my senior and I'm 55. She's a recovering Dem and is progressing quickly through the BB detox program.

Between her arthritis and my recent heart attack, we make quite a pair. It's a good thing we can make stimulating converstion together, since anything physical is literally done at a snail's pace.

395

I'm 38 years old.  1/2 + 7 would be 26 years old.....as in BORN IN 1984.

My cutoff is 8 years younger.  That tends to be the age where cultural references don't match up.  If I have to explain Roseanne Rosannadanna, Mr Robinson's neighborhood or Rubix cubes its a no go.

396

Saluki -- then have fun being a Harley babe while you're still at an age to be a Harley babe without risking becoming an "old lady".

aka: don't make the mistake some women make of wearing the string bikini, and getting the navel piercing and barbed wire tat at the tender age of 30 (or, shudder, 40); it's all about "am I really still young enough to be goofy" -- and once you're over 30, the answer is "no".

Monty -- remember: military tats are ok on chicks (at least that's what I tell myself to keep from crying to sleep), and I met my husband in a bar (in fact, we nearly got picked a bar fight with each other...the rest is history, but I guess that might have to do with similar interests and such).

 

397

393:  I tried that once with a first-date in college, poly.  She stared at me blankly, and then started to tell me about her ex-boyfriend back home in Alabama, and his new mail-order Russian bride.

I blame her idiocy on being an actual ginger, complete with freckles.

I blame my desire to figure out a way to get her to stop talking, yet still feign sufficient interest to get a chance to count all her freckles on unk.jane's prescient observation of boys under 25.

I failed on all fronts.  She blabbed all night to the point that I could no longer mask my irritation with her.  In a last-ditch effort, I took a bet that maybe she was one of those girls that winds up helplessly smitten with complete assholes.  She wasn't.  Second-worst date ever.

Nada problema. I got it. Us morons all have ESPN.

408

423  Yes it is -- 30 is the doorstep to becoming 40...and a little too late in the game to start thinking about getting an arm tat and a bellybutton ring (or buying string bikinis and rubber miniskirts/minidresses).  If you already have said accoutrements and can still flaunt them for a few more years, then have a ball and you go...but you should not be thinking of acquiring for the first time by that age.

Moral of the story: sow the wild oats when you can reasonably get away with it

409

#422 - I agree.

_{(Well, except for her Adam's apple.)}

410

425  Didn't see it, and I wouldn't care if it was Demi in all her buffed up glory -- at some point one has to start acting one's age or risk being permanently ridiculous to oneself (it was hard, but necessary).

There's something to be said for women (and men) who enter their 30s and 40s and try to cultivate some of the dignity that is the charm of one's middle age; conversely, there is something incredibly sad about people who fight it every inch of the way...their old age will likely not be pretty.

411

423  Yes it is -- 30 is the doorstep to becoming 40...and a little too late in the game to start thinking about getting an arm tat and a bellybutton ring (or buying string bikinis and rubber miniskirts/minidresses)

It completely depends upon the woman in question.  I think you're being unreasonably harsh on women in their 30's.

412 429: Agree! There's a lot to be said for aging gracefully. Its moving sexy into new terms. The appeal is still there but in new/different ways.

413 430 Once upon a time I was that woman in her 30s -- who could still fit into and look good in her string bikinis and rubber miniskirts (no extra piercings and had removed tat by then though).  The temptation was strong, as they still fit me and gravity did not strike until I was 40...but there is just something wrong with a woman who has to cart around three small children at the beach or pool to be running around in a macrame string bikini.  I mean come on -- the bikini did its job obviously, now it's time to let it go.

414 "I'd like to see a Muslim sex in the city."

Except it would be called 'Burqa about the Village'

Of course you could probably also say that they've already made a Muslim version of Sex in the City.  Its called the 'The Stoning of Soraya M'

415

423  Yes it is -- 30 is the doorstep to becoming 40...and a little too late in the game to start thinking about getting an arm tat and a bellybutton ring (or buying string bikinis and rubber miniskirts/minidresses)

Bellybutton rings are removable before 40...arm tats only with a costly and unpleasant laser procedure.  Isn't there something temporary women can do if they simply can't resist obscuring their skin with ink designs.

 Isn't there something temporary women can do if they simply can't resist obscuring their skin with ink designs.

I've seen some outfits in the malls that will do skin designs with henna and other stuff. (Maybe even Sharpies as far as I know.) It wears off after a week or two.

429 For most men, sex is just...sex. We disconnect the physical act from the emotions much more than women seem to be able to. I think that's why promiscuity is far more damaging to women than it is to men. Again, not fair; but Life Is Not Fair(tm), as I never tire of pointing out.

I dated a cougar for several years in my 20's, had a blast, learned much and GF's after have reaped the benefits of that education. Never has instruction been so student friendly. Cougars serve a  legitamate function in our society, maybe you ease up just a tad being judgemental.

 

Jussayin!

432 187 I think most women would be happy with Sex and the City lifestyles. Most women would happily end up alone, in trade for having as many Alpha males as possible.

Five minutes of Alpha beats five years of beta. Most women would rather have a five day affair with Charlie Sheen, even now, than be married to Jon Cryer.

You really don't know women. Maybe you know teen girls wearing grown-up-girl suits and having fantasies about Mr. Right (or at least Mr. Hawt & Powerful). But those are children.

Women want to give themselves and to receive. Women want all the hard work and tears and dirty faces and laughter that comes with a real flesh and blood man, the undulating rhythm that's so often more like a roller coaster ride after too much funnel cake. We want him with us every night, for the rest of our lives, even if all we do is lie together in the same bed most of the time w/o having sex because we're too exhausted from caring for our family. Those of us who needed longer to figure out we'd been lied to would give our Manolos & Jimmy Choos to marry such a man. And we're trusting that some of the men who gave up out of sheer frustration will join the conservative camp & ask us out for a drink.
