A while back I spoke about how I was swearing off men in my age group because I was having such bad luck with them.
I’ve since lifted that restriction, in case you were wondering, but did word get out about that particular preference before I reversed it?
Recently while running errands, I noticed that an older gentleman was eyeing me. We made eye contact and before I knew it, he was by my side, giving me his name and passing me a business card.
Upon inspection, I saw that he was involved in real estate investments at a large firm. I switched to journalist mode and saw an opportunity to make a new contact. After all, it never hurts to build the Rolodex, right? So, I told him what I did for a living, and gave him my card without a second thought.
Hours later (yes hours!), I had my light bulb moment and realized he’d given me his card before I’d even made my occupation known. His goal wasn’t business. I instantly regretted it.
Let me explain why. When I referred to him as an “older gentleman,” I was being VERY kind. I would be willing to put money on him being a full-fledged member of the Viagra club. He probably can’t live without it. Dude was significantly older than me. It could have never worked.
The only thing that was favorable about him, if this was my preference, was that he was clearly loaded. Loaded to the point where he probably farts money. But, alas, gold digging is not really my style.
And he call me. I told him I was busy and never called back.
So, I’m still single and not really dating, but I was also spared from possibly seeing that old wrinkly butt. I think I came out on top this time.

These "mature" men love the younger women. Viagra's given them a new life line.
Stick to you guns, don't settle, you equal will come eventually.
(P.S. If you're literally on top you wouldn't have to see his wrinkly old but ;-) )
Ah yes...Yet ANOTHER difference between men & women..
I wouldn't say all, but most men would have been diving in that wrinkly dried up coochie hoping to strike it rich, had it been the other way around.
...And I'm NOT just speaking for myself..lol
I think most guys want a younger woman once we reach a certain age. Not necessarily for companionship but for the obvious. When you have money, it's easier for someone who wouldn't date you to have SOME kind of attraction, albeit superficial.
Can't blame dude for trying. There's no visual signs that tell if you would be willing or not to accept a wrinkly ding-dong in exchange for greenbacks.
Sounds like you just wasn't feeling this particular older man. A different man with a different type of charisma might tickle your fancy.
Don't shy away from men with money. "It ain't tricking if they got it"
Tru: You are so right! I wouldn't have to see it if I manipulated the situation, but knowing it's there is enough to turn me off. The lights can't be off ALL the time.
Dave: I can always count on you to see the "other" side of things.
Anonymous: I wasn't feeling him at all. Aside from being "mature", he also wasn't attractive. Poor guy!
