Argument on the message board…
Is beauty a virtue? Have sex with old people too!
Eternal questions can never receive a final answer. Like these ones, for example: What is the age difference that’s most desirable? Is it older women or older men that guarantee better sex? Which gender is able to conserve beauty for a longer time? What’s the real virtue of women, and that of men?
If there were a solution to the eternal problem – how to stay young and beautiful forever – then who would still be interested in these questions? However, eternal questions “ought to” be examined again and again, as long as there is still some life in them. And so we did; and no one had to be urged to do so. Suddenly, this huge whirlwind of discussion was created. It went around and soaked up emotions and facts; it melted the ice. From the opinions that rose like dough out of this hot and strong current, the most up-to-date “essence” was cooked up. So, let’s see what’s cooking today. :)
Let them be fresh and dewy.
“Women in their 40s need a museologist and an archeologist, not a gynecologist :)”, came the public disgrace in a single sentence. A lot of us, women in our 40s, merely smile at this, but others jump right into the middle with a grunt and trample men’s self-esteem like a fire-belching dragon. Those who have a higher tolerance for humor and sarcasm build up the masculine portrait of the ideal lover. There are so many upsides to a discussion between men and women! I, too, have been asked countless times about who and what it is that women want. Men truly don’t understand what it is we want. They think we don’t understand it either. Theirs is a much simpler wish: they want sex; perhaps some pampering, food, understanding, and a feeling of continuous love in the meantime. It’s not a problem either if they receive these things from different women.
Let them be cute.
“I’ll tell you, old men dreaming about young girls, what it is that real flesh-and-blood women with normal and healthy tastes want. A man should be masculine (a beer belly is not masculine!). A masculine man is tall; ideally at least 5 feet 10. His face is handsome, neat, and cleanly shaved, with no pimples. The face should be masculine or cute, or both. He should have a nice full head of hair. His hairstyle should be trendy; but most importantly it should suit his overall style. His body should be athletic, buff, muscular; he shouldn’t be a Colossus though. His skin should be nice; its color doesn’t matter – personal preferences vary. His body should not be too hairy, especially around the butt, back, and neck areas. He should be well-groomed; and, of course, a real good man doesn’t smoke. Men like this usually don’t possess immaculate inner characteristics, but once they find their dream woman they become tame. So, old men, either you try to adhere to some of these guidelines, or you can say goodbye to pretty twenty-somethings!”. Such is the opinion of youth. The other (not quite so young) side also makes a confession and explains it too: “The main things are: tight breasts, a tight ass, and a wrinkle-free face. You could never see these on an elderly woman. Then again, you wouldn’t buy used shoes either: so why bother with an old woman? They’re not cheaper than a young chick.” I will not publish the entire (valuable) collection of comments here.
Aspire to be ambitious.
Not surprisingly, it would be quite pointless to be diplomatic on a message board; message boards are really informal. It’s much better to call things by their name since, from time to time, almost everyone succeeds in selling themselves to others – but especially to their own selves. It’s our daily task; without it, we wouldn’t even be able to leave the house. Zero ambition is accompanied by zero eroticism, but then that would be unbearable. We won’t bear it either: we walk out the door with the feeling that everyone desires us. The philosophy only varies in one respect: whether it’s us doing the job of selecting or it’s us who are participating in a casting session. The testing, in both directions, is a continuous daily process. It also creates rises and drops in our level of confidence. There is always the chance to be critical, as opposed to just aspiring to suit other people’s tastes all the time. Which is more pleasant? To criticize, well of course. Choose, and criticize! This will be your day.
Bare-naked folly
Those who are in love did not participate in this discussion; they just contributed with a few sentences about how even a big age difference is perfectly fine in their relationship. No one reacted to these comments. Perhaps the only people that took part in this quarrel were those who are all in the same boat at this point in their lives. They have longings, but they do not give and do not receive enough. They are the loveless. Still, the bottom line is that no matter what anyone said, in the end they all seemed to find a common denominator. The main players in this discussion will meet in an embrace when they’re ready for it. First they’ll feel sorry for each other, and then their desire to help will grow stronger and stronger. I wouldn’t be surprised if sooner or later they arranged a personal encounter too, since deep down inside all critics desire understanding and pampering. Though it’s not a final conclusion, let us now stop and rest with these thoughts in mind: Sex brings people together. In a real sex-situation, just like in an emergency, theories cease to matter; gender, age, and opinions also cease to matter: all that matters is the naked people there. And even a naked person is only beautiful if he/she is happy and glowing from the inside. This goes for elderly people too. And they will happily seduce each other through and through…
