reverse anthropomorphism

I suspect that 'metaphor' is the term you are looking for Wink

Well it is and it isn't.... But it probably would have been better and arguably would have got me substantially more cock over the last three years.

Oh. definition three There's one.

So when exactly does a woman with a sexual appetite become puke worthy? I am 5 years off that and perfectly lovely. At least that's what the younger men who chase me say Hmm

I don't think it's about intelligence as much as pickiness.
The more intelligent you are, there will be fewer other people as smart as you. Same appplies to beauty and wealthy.
Your choices are to go stay picky and go out with people of similar intelligence or lower your standards and widen your choice of potential dates.

Gah!!

A woman with a sexual appetite is not puke worthy.

what was pukeworthy was the description of stalking much younger men for sex.

In the same way that a 60+ year old man stalking much younger women would be pukeworthy

I will most certainly still be having as much sex as possible until my body crumbles into dust. However I won't be stalking much young men

I have a friend that I'm very fond of, an amazing woman, she's 65, looks 20 years younger, and her gentleman caller is 44. She has no intention of living with a man ever again, he spends the night at her house a couple of days a week and essentially their relationship is based on sex and shared humour - it's all on her terms.

Lubey, I do get what you mean. As I am now over a certain age, I'd think of myself as puke worthy if I was deliberately looking for men half my age. I didn't feel this way a few years ago as I looked quite young for my age and men who approached me weren't chatting to me to fulfill an older woman fantasy.

The older I get the more I want someone around my own age. However, of I met someone much younger I wouldn't rule them out.

Yeah.. It's funny. I tend to view chaps around me age as a bit done-in (sorry!) and - if they still want to start a family/have more children- very generally looking for women in their late twenties early thirties. It's that annoying trophy ism entitlement thing, (some!) men thinking they deserve a younger woman.

My age range on OKC was 30-50.... Which is youth-weighted as I am (shriek!) 45...while I could (just) see myself going out with a 30 year old (15 years younger) I really couldn't see myself going out with a 60 year old (15 years older) I do try to look at it as the person rather than the number and the demarcation of age range is really there because the Internet asks for it...

I noticed last night, incidentally that nameless has quite small, feminine hands Hmm I couldn't give a stuff. Grin

Nora, exactly she hasn't stalked him has she... that sounds a fabulous arrangement... I would think the same if she was 75

Scrazy, I get what you mean. I think it's fine to like and to look for younger men though it really was just the mental image that urban dictionary definition gave me

The description including the word stalk just gave me a very sleazy image of... I dunno, coercion kind of.

Oh god no, Lubey, I think he knew her for a while and asked her out a couple of times before she agreed to see him.

I always suspect that the definitions in Urban Dictionary are written by spotty little Herberts whose sole sexual experiences have been with Farmer Palm and his five lovely daughters.

Obviously if any of the lovely people on here have contributed to Urban Dictionary, I completely withdraw my last statement.

Cough.

Oh dear, just been invited to a wedding of a very old friend (well actually an ex from twenty years ago who is the only one I've ever genuinely stayed friends with). Feel a bit meh. Don't want him (could have if I'd wanted), don't even want to get married, but meh.

Wedding's in May. Etiquette-wise, is it significant to ask someone to accompany you to a wedding? I don't want to go by myself really so might ask LM or would that be a faux pas?

Report
KinNora · 16/02/2013 15:56

If it was me, OWW, I'd mention the wedding to him, say that I didn't fancy going on my tod and see if he took the hint.

Disclaimer - I'm clearly bobbins at relationships.
