Another old man thread
twentyfive
Living well and enjoying my retirement
I don't really think of myself as an old man, although I know that many of you do but here's some news for you younger guys that might help you up your game. I get a decent amount of attention from women most places including strip clubs, and I'm sure that a lot is how I'm perceived as reasonably fit, fairly good looking, and most likely have a few bucks which is helpful. But here's the thing you younger guys don't get many women have what is known as a Cinderella complex, in addition to younger women having daddy issues. The Cinderella complex is about a desire to be taken care of and desired at the same time and that is why a lot of the older guys here score as easily as they do because we project that in our personalities, maybe it is not intentional but it's there.

Sadly some of them don't even know their dad, so age may not matter
I concur. I also concur with the Cinderella complex being alive and well as noted by twentyfive
Like you, if they get Impressed by the things I have and places I travel to, I always tell them to have faith and that they will be there someday as well. I'm not a financial advisor, but I've shown several how to set up mutual funds that draw / invest from their weekly bank deposits.
Knowing this type of " stuff" appeals to most of the younger gals I've met. It seems to be a message especially well received when I tell them I lived at home until I was 24 and didn't even buy my first new car until I was in my 30's Guess I was a late bloomer I am 51 now.
To me, The real reason us older guys in the know get the attention of younger gals is that if we can blow $10K or $20K (or more) in the clubs and OTC fun each year, we have acquired some professional and personal "game" that vibes of confidence, stability and worth. The average 20 something guy can't offer that combo.
To those strippers who value such things We set ourselves apart by pulling the door, weekend trips , picking up dinner tabs, imparting life advice, and providing occasional "help" when warranted. Our reward for this is we can have hot 20 somethings willing to spend hours or days in our beds. We are wise enough not to chase and understand our value while valuing our worth. We know There is always a shelf life when dealing with girls 20 years or younger than us so we enjoy it fully before it spoils.
My two cents on the subject.
I've had to freestyle it and figure it out on my own (about women). So that's why I bust larryfishsticks' chops about it. Women aren't hard once you figure it out.
It's also far better to become a better man than to fake it. It takes about the same effort and the results are far better both near term and long term.
No way the same 25 I've met. :)
Everything written on this site should be considered a work of fiction.

Damn man, you didn't lose it, you just gave it to me!
Seriously, that is great! I could use about 1/2 that off, but very difficult since it would have to be most all from activity and that is slim these days.
If tech keeps advancing, we may live until we're in our 400's or later. Of course quality of life is important.

the young guys are Prince Charming and us old guys are Peter.
I mean I know 55,000 people can be evacuated in less than 24 hours. Less than 55,000 are currently in shelters from what I heard. Local and state governments argue instead of making plans and spending money in some states waiting for a disaster to prove something is needed. I'm glad most of Houston's 6 million residents are ok because no way can you put all of them in city shelters. I think a flood plan and emergency shelters could have been planned for affecting 50k to 100,000 people. If you can't evacuate less than 10% of the people in 24 hours, you have a serious planning problem.
Haven't been on the bike in months. Spent some time this week trying to get her ready for a short ride this week for kids in need. If all goes well, we might start riding some. Fingers crossed!
If you are developing a relationship with a dancer - then there can be several advantages to being older. Older men usually have more income, more savings, they are usually more relaxed, they have more to lose, they know there tolerance for booze, they are less likely to run in the same social circles, they might be more worldly. Those qualities are all generalizations, but that might be what some dancers are looking for - as they may have lacked many of those qualities in their relationship with their father (if they had a relationship with their father).
the use of gov't as an insurance policy was born out of the progressive movement from the turn of the 19th to 20th century. It's really a failing of the fathers not supporting the families or husband-less families that turned the wife destitute (to beg). I don't see the tide changing on this. In fact it's just getting worse despite women joining the workforce. Through non-fault divorce, a lot of men are opting out of marriage, which just feeds the women and an feminist vote for government-as-an-insurance policy. I really do think a lot of us liberal and progressive minded men had good intentions but we bought into some policies that just "went off the rails." And seeing the temperament of the average Tuscler men with little regard and admiration for marriage does not make me hopeful. Personally I think all of you anti-marriage guys are part of the source of this (feminist) gender war but truthfully, you are just acting rationally with what we have (no-fault divorce). But it has to end and it need to start with men being men, again.
20-somethings need to rediscover a close knit family unit and rely and that as the basic unit of support. No on voodoo trick-down economics of big business. Not on government. Families with personal savings.

PS: I would have to admit that even as anathema as socialized or nationalized medicine is to most Tusclers, I do admit, I (and my wife) would end up FAR ahead cost wise with it, largely due to theft from couples with higher incomes or higher cap gains taxes, and because the out of pocket to elective surgery is crazy in this country. Even with waiting periods of socialized medicine, for my wife and I, any waiting period is far shorter (months?) than it would be to save up (years?) for some things. So I can see that attraction to those of us with modest incomes and no savings. I don't buy into it. But I do see the attraction.
