Why We Should Date Younger Men

I'd love for my blog readers to weigh in on this one! And certainly if there are any male readers here, please put in your respectful $0.02 (though I doubt any man would be brave enough!).

Okay, a discussion with my friend Nat via email had me saying that, "One thing men demand is a woman who looks better than they do. The other thing they want is a woman who is younger than they are." I've never gone with a guy who is younger than I am because I tend to look at younger guys as "little brothers" rather than men. I think a lot of women feel the same, not that it's right, it's just the way we feel.

Now, I have a close relative who once said to me she is glad of her relationship where the guy is much older because "he won't need to go after a younger woman one day--I'm the younger woman." Though in her case the guy looks younger than he is.

Well, Nat (a regular reader and commenter here) has a different take on this, one that can't be ignored!! She graciously emailed me today with her philosophy on the subject and why she has always dated younger men. Here are FIVE good reasons to date a younger man, my friends. Reading this had me gasping with laughter! WITH HER PERMISSION I am reprinting the important points here. It's too good not to be published somewhere.

FROM NAT:

I couldn't disagree MORE with you about the men vs. women aging thing. I have an entire philosophy built on it. Here it goes.

1) Firstly, women ALWAYS fear their weight. Many women like me, hound and chase their tail their whole life to watch their weight and look good, starting off on work out programs when they're young--not for sports like men do in high school, but entirely for WEIGHT. Men, however, usually, unless they have a sluggish thyroid, don't worry at all for their first 40 years and eat like sows. Then, Mother Nature plays a BEAUTIFUL trick on all of them. While they're continuing to eat like sows, and thinking they're nifty, their metabolisms start to slow down and they do not take any precautionary measures. Unlike women, who always fear this, all of a sudden one day men wake up and have one of two things and even both: 1. Moobs (man boobs because they've not worked out and their pecs have fallen) and 2. pot belly but not necessarily a big one. It may be a small potbelly, but who wants to bang a guy who looks like he's three months pregnant?

2) Secondly, while men are SOMETIMES good with fashion in their 20's, somewhere in their 30's this starts to rapidly go down hill until you start seeing them wear shit like Dockers, boat shoes and golf shirts. ALWAYS. I have NEVER seen an exception to this (other than movie stars like Anthony Keitus of the Red Hot Chili Peppers). You will NOT find them dressing like rock stars. Women, usually being fairly conscious of clothes their entire lives, hardly ever let this happen.

3) Thirdly, and PROOF that God does love women, men lose their hair. Enough said.

4) Fourthly, men NEVER wear sunscreen. I cannot tell you, CANNOT TELL you how many men my age at the gym have 4 times the wrinkles than I do. They look like bloody hell.

5) Fiftly, men can't wear make up to hide things or accentuate their good features. In essence, they are screwed.

So sure, you have the anomolies like George Cl+oo/ney, but girl, look around, they're 1 in a million.

That is why cougaring has gotten so huge. Women who take care of themselves and have gotten some self esteem are like screw this, date some pig my age when I look great? I think not!

Touche, Nat! I hope this deeply moves some of my readers. Myself, I've been bursting into giggles everytime I think about it.
