Let’s visit the age thing again…

So, last year, I wrote a blog about older dating younger and vice versa.  I went out on a girls night last night and was making observations at the bar.  There were some skanky younger girls really hitting on some older guys.  Ewwww, not for the older guys, but the outfits the girls were wearing!

I’m sorry, but if the dress is wider than it is long, umm a rethink is in order.  Not dissing on anyone here, but come on.  These guys were eating up what these girls were dishing out!  Now, I don’t know what the outcome of the evening was, (and I don’t want to know!) but my point is most of us were looking at the fashion, or lack there of, than the age difference.  There must have been 25-30 years diff and it was the men that were older.  Nobody really said anything about that and I don’t think anyone cared!

Now, let’s turn the tables.  There weren’t a lot of younger guys, older girls hanging out together.  Or, maybe the older girls just look so effin good that nobody knew!  HAHAHAHAHAH!  So, why as a society we really make a huge deal out of it.  Why are older women called cougars, and older guys called lucky?  I have a friend in my life who is younger than me and we actually have a lot in common.  For one, he likes to communicate.  It’s so nice to send a text and get one back!!  Or to get a text that is just sent, not in response to one!

Younger guys are more technical savvy and use social media and texting like girls do!  I see how much my son texts and we really are similar.  Why don’t older guys text?  I love to text so it sucks!  Do younger guys text more because they’ve grown up with it? They are comfortable with it, or is it because like my kids, have more of connection through these mediums than real in person conversation?  My kids minutes have gone way down with their ability to text, so I am always concerned they are losing the physical connection that I grew up with.

Now, back to the younger guy thing.  I have to say, I think it may be a good thing.  On an emotional level there are a lot of connections, now I don’t know if it’s because I’m so immature, or it’s just fun to talk to someone who listens to good music, has a fresh outlook on life and can share some feelings.  From a communication stand point, it’s nice to have a connection even if I’m not in the same location.  As for physical connection, I think it could be a great thing!  I’ve always dated 10-15 years older and we all know how that’s worked out!  Not so great!  Who knows what’s going to happen in the future, all I know is I’m going to enjoy my next week!
