For which sex is getting older easier?

[Charles Stucker]

Must be men, because as they get older it isn't getting harder.

 

[Samson]

I don't know, but some men get that sexy salt and pepper thing going for them. Plus, their wrinkles add character.

Grave robber.

So does that make you a kitten instead of a cougar?

( throwing hand up into the air ... ) Kitten!!!!!

By definition a Cougar is an older woman with money chasing young men. A Kitten is a younger woman chasing older men with money.

So...um, Masquerade, I suppose if I ask "How Much" then I don't have enough?

I'm afraid to ask what that means.

I think "cougar" in this sense refers to an older woman who pursues a younger man.

One of the points made on the radio show was that, when an older man chases a younger woman, he is really pursuing his youth, not the girl. I think that's true.

I would like to hear what some of the ladies think about this. What challenges did you face going from youth to middle age? Or if you're not there yet, what have you observed in others, or what challenges do you expect?

Good grief, I have no desire to train some little whippersnapper.

I guess I'm officially at middle age, but thanks to good genes and Oil of Olay, I'm hanging in there. Nothing gives me the shivers though as much as hearing some of my older friends discuss menopause.

Sounds like you're doing just fine, Sherry.

At 48, I have no desire to return to my 20s. I miss the energy I had in those days. Working long hours when necessary, or partying the night before going to work, was a lot easier, but that's about all I miss. I'm always the first to leave the after-work get togethers with the younger guys.

 

[goldcatt]

I'm at that perfect age, so it hasn't been an issue for me. Still young enough to not be old, but old enough to not be young and stupid. Works for me!

And men do get better with age. Maybe it's just because it takes them so much longer to grow up?

Can't argue with a syllable of that.

What if you are not grown up at 4+ decades, is there hope?

This is the private diary of a Viagra housewife...

Day 1
Just celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary with not much to celebrate. When it came time to re-enact our wedding night, he locked himself in the bathroom and cried.



Day 2
Today, he says he has a big secret to tell me. He's impotent, he says, and he wants me to be the first to know. Why doesn't he tell me something I don't know! I mean, he actually thinks I haven't noticed.



Day 3
This marriage is in trouble. A woman has needs. Yesterday, I saw a picture of Nelson's Column and burst into tears.



Day 4
A miracle has happened! There's a new drug on the market that will fix his 'problem'. It's called Viagra. I told him that if he takes Viagra, things will be just like they were on our wedding night. I think this will work. I replaced his Prozac with the Viagra, hoping to lift something other than his mood.



Day 5
What absolute bliss!!.



Day 6
Isn't life wonderful but it's difficult to write while he's doing that.



Day 7
This Viagra thing has gone to his head. No pun intended! Yesterday, at Burger King, the manager asked me if I'd like a Whopper. He thought they were talking about him. But, have to admit it's very nice - I don't think I've ever been so happy.



Day 8
I think he took too many over the weekend. Yesterday, instead of mowing the lawn, he was using his new friend as a weed wacker. I'm also getting a bit sore down there.



Day 9
No time to write. He might catch me.



Day 10
Okay, I admit it. I'm hiding. I mean, a girl can only take so much. And to make matters worse, he's washing the Viagra down with neat whisky! What am I going to do? I feel tacky all over....



Day 11
I'm basically being screwed to death. It's like living with a Black and Decker drill. I woke up this morning hot-glued to the bed. Even my armpits hurt. He's a complete pig.



Day 12
I wish he was gay. I've stopped wearing make-up, cleaning my teeth or even washing but he still keeps coming after me! Even yawning has
become dangerous...



Day 13
Every time I shut my eyes, there's a sneak attack! It's like going to bed with a scud missile. I can hardly walk and if he tries that "Oops, sorry" thing again, I'll kill the bastard.



Day 14
I've done everything to turn him off. Nothing is working. I even started dressing like a nun but this just seems to make him more horny. Help me!



Day 15
I think I'll have to kill him. I'm starting to stick to everything I sit on. The cat and dog won't go near him and our friends don't come over any more. Last night I told him to go and fuck himself and he did.



Day 16
The bastard has started to complain about headaches. I hope the bloody thing explodes. I did suggest he might try stopping the Viagra and going back on Prozac.



Day 17
Switched the pills but it doesn't seem to have made any difference...Christ! Here he comes again!



Day 18
He's back on Prozac. The lazy sod just sits there in front of the TV all day with that remote control in his hand and expects me to do everything for him. What absolute bliss!

Hmmm....I wonder if the ones chained in the basement count?

 

[goldcatt]

Seriously though? I can't imagine it's "easier" for either men or women. There are obviously some different issues, but the men and women I've spoken with seem to go through very similar experiences as far as dealing with the new reflection in the mirror and the changes in their bodies. It seems to be easier for some than others, maybe it has more to do with how accepting and positive a person is in general than their gender?

So far the few stray grays and the couple little lines don't bother me at all, and the little ones keep me running so fast I can't slow down. I'll let you know when I get there.

 

[ABikerSailor]

For the record, I think it's harder on women than men. Men become distinguished when they get older, women tend to just get older, but, Jamie Lee Curtis is trying to change that.

And then, there's the physical things like menopause which REALLY screws with women. Men just go through a mid life crisis and buy a sports car.

Personally? I think being a woman is harder than being a dude. Have thought that all my life.

 

[goldcatt]

What older man convinced you of this?

You don't remember your pm's to me? I'm crushed.

 

[ItHappens]

I think it really depends on the individuals perspective.

There are many ancillary factors, such as health, the stability of one's marriage (if one is married) or career, financial position...

I started going gray at 18, tho it wasn't really noticeable till my late 20s, so that hasn't been an adjustment I've had to make. I can no longer claim it to be premature without getting a laugh.

 

[Samson]

Youth is wasted on the Young.



Shit, I'm dangerous enough as it is, I'd be leathal if I knew then what I know now.

So the guy with lots of grandchildren and severe dementia is winning?

Oh no. Ever since I was a young girl I had a thing for older guys but it was and never will be about money. I'm all about the love factor and the gentleman factor.
