That's true, but you have to have some people in your life who care about you and with that attitude I'm afraid he is alienating everyone.

I agree. He won't be getting very far in life with that attitude. Alienating too many people in your life will only hurt you later in life.

I just hope that some of the shallow behavior exhibited here doesn't lead to that. : (
Exactly... Lets even carry it further to have compassion for people in other country's who have to go though random car bombings, on the loose serial killers and MAJOR Government corruption. GOD I WISH I WAS SUPERMAN!!!

10-15 year age difference between a man and a younger woman is not at all uncommon. If you're in your mid 40s you can still find a woman who is 30ish, sure some may not date you due to age but plenty will.

I don't think it's that big of a difference either. I've stated b4 my DH is 20 years older than me after all.

HOWEVER, he is very good looking, and very successful (I didn't know this when I first met him, I purely just thought he was attractive. So y'all can save the gold digger comments ). I was actually the one that thought HE was cute and pursued HIM. He thought I was too young for him. I changed his mind.

BTW, Ameiko - thanks so much for the laughs tonight. I'm pretty sure I haven't laughed so much in weeks.

Imagine that.
You know what that means, right? It's his way of acknowledging that yes, the comments were spot on.

Hi sunshineleith,

I could not help but notice that old grandpa , balding, toothless codger comments seem pass under the approval of the social bailiwick. It seems the entire country is a cougar preserve, but an old wolf may be shot on site, skinned and become a disposable shammy. I wonder how the reaction would be if 20 year old men commented that older women were dried up old hags?

Its not that I am offended, but still makes me think a certain equity is not maintained.

I've seen one member referring to women in their 30's as used up. Besides, old wolves are cheered above and beyond what's found on forums. Eh.

Ah Braunwyn,

The noon radiance of perspicuity that you are has overlooked that those rapid curs are flying the jolly roger. Is not city-data a respectable and prosperous hamlet?

I would first examine why the long-term relationship failed. Then I would try to find someone who likes shallow bald dudes. (hint hint hint)
