Heidi! I did a very similar thing... we referred to mine as "The Editor" because in chick lit, the editor is often the older smarmy fella that the girl goes for before she realizes her neighbor's nephew is the bee's knees.

I hung out with him for just under a year and it was weird most of the time. I was attracted to him because he was smart and funny and strong and fun, but there was also part of me that was hanging out with him because most of my friends were married and this was something that I could do that they would never do and it would make a good story. He was 20 years my senior and had kids older and younger than me (I didn't know about the one that was older until I was Facebook stalking a year ago) including a 4 year old. I was fine with all of it until I found a grey pube on me.

I have recently been hanging out with someone who turned 26 this week... I am apprehensive because I feel like maybe he's hanging out with me so he can go talk to his friends about older ladies. On the plus side, no grey pubes...

LESS TMI?





*it wasn't.


message 54: by ms.petra (new)

ms.petra (mspetra) I have dated both older and younger men and for me it is not so much the age as the common interests. That being said, my last serious relationship was with a man 8 years older. He was always tired...:(
I have a customer who is about 60yrs old and her 80yr old husband is now quite ill. She will lose him and that is a downside of marrying someone that much older.

Phil | 11837 comments So someday my pubies will turn gray? Weird. I hope they don't lose their curl.

According to my limited research, yes.

Carol | 1678 comments Can I say (or repeat) how much I despise cougar not meaning a beautiful feline anymore?

Agreed, Carol. A tragic theft from the animal world.

smetchie | 4034 comments I third that.

Brittomart I have a friend. We've been...close for about two years, and he's...let's just say he's over twice my age. I was talking to him on the phone today, and he was kinda snappy with me, and I was really anxious, and I just needed someone to talk to, and then he starts going on this rant about how he's busy, and I wouldn't know anything about that because I do nothing all day, and I don't have a job, and I was like, "whoa whoa whoa, buddy, I don't know where the fuck you get off patronizing me, talking to me like you're my fucking parent. You know, I just wish you were (however many number of years) younger, and then you would fucking understand what I'm going through right now, asshole."

And then sometimes I just want to TALK. But he goes to bed at like, 10:30, and I'm like, "I wish you were 19. I mean, I love you because you're not, but sometimes I wish you were because then you would know how it feels to feel the need to talk on the phone for hours about absolutely nothing with the person that you care about."
Jesus. It's like....sometimes I'm his sweet girl, but then when he's busy I'm a snot-nosed whiny brat. Asshole. Sorry, I had to vent.

What happened to your name change? It was cracking me up.


Jackie "the Librarian" | 8991 comments I was wondering about the name change, too, KD.

Is this something to do with that famous Olympian contest Chelsea is thinking about entering? I saw a reference to a King Douchebag, and was wondering if they meant you. :)


message 69: by smetchie (new)

smetchie | 4034 comments I loved that you kept the umlaut when you were King Douchebag.


message 70: by Félix (new)

Félix (habitseven) No doubt. No doubt.


Jackie "the Librarian" | 8991 comments King Dinösaur wrote: "What is the famous Olympian contest, Jackie?"

It's part of this Best of Olympia thing sponsored by The Washington Center and The Weekly Volcano.

Chelsea Baker is considering running for it, and someone said this on her thread:

Kevin Taylor I hear King Douchebag is a pretty big deal... but Deputy Dickweed might split his votes. Go for it!

Lyzzibug ~Still Breathing~ (lyzzibug) | 708 comments Beautiful Cat! Makes me miss mine :(


message 74: by Cynthia (new)

Cynthia Paschen | 7333 comments I have a yellow cat (Tiger) named Henry. He weighs a bit more than your Henry, though. He's on a diet, down to 19 pounds from 22.


Lyzzibug ~Still Breathing~ (lyzzibug) | 708 comments This was my BearCub.






message 76: by Félix (new)

Félix (habitseven) Beautiful cat. So sorry.


message 77: by ms.petra (new)

ms.petra (mspetra) HENRY! too cute... I just want to squeeze him!
BearCub! whenever I see a Siamese, I think of Lady and the Tramp.

Lucky lady. We should all be so lucky...


message 81: by Jammies (new)

Jammies Lyzzi, he looks like a charmer. I'm sorry for your loss. ♥


Jackie "the Librarian" | 8991 comments Aww, Lyzzibug, I'm sorry. What a beautiful cat!

Yes! Henry would be an awesome biggest celebrity in Olympia! I'd vote for him!

KD, oh my God! Why didn't Chewbacca get an award! That's not right!


message 84: by Brittomart (last edited Jan 07, 2011 12:07PM) (new)

Brittomart Old men check me out in my jeggings.

and not the old men like I like, but the old men like, "I haven't had sex with my wife in 10 years" old men. I don't like it.


Lyzzibug ~Still Breathing~ (lyzzibug) | 708 comments Haha! jeggings!

I had something like that happen. I was walking into a convenient store and a man on a motorcycle looked like he was going to break his neck looking at me. He actually turned around and pulled into the parking lot. Then I recognized him, it was my Dad. Heehee


message 86: by Natalie (new)

Natalie (aquariusnat) I know age shouldn't matter , but at a certain point it does. When there's a difference of at least 15 years you're dealing with two separate generations . Also it's just creepy to know that at that point the older one could technically chronology-wise be the younger one's parent . LOL !


message 87: by Félix (new)

Félix (habitseven) Yeah but sometimes things like that just happen. My approx. 30 y/o niece was married to a guy older than her dad. It was strange for my b-i-l -- but it worked out. Unfortunately he died of cancer last year (the husband). And yes, he was of a whole different generation.

RandomAnthony | 14536 comments Ok, this might be innocent but...Jeremy Piven on Miley Cyrus...

"I think I must be an 18-year-old girl because we got along really well," Piven told E! News while promoting his new drama I Melt With You at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. "It was just so much fun. I had so much fun with her and we had great chemistry. It was really really weird -- we're like polar opposites."

Before I zoomed this thread title looked like age and mustaches.


message 91: by Michele (new)

Michele bookloverforever (lovebooks14) | 1970 comments between husband #1 and husband #2 I dated someone 10 yrs older than me. It bothered him enough that he found a woman closer to his own age and I found husband #2. He did come back to tell me I was right: he should have stuck with me. He wanted me to leave husband #2 and go away with him but I'm not that kind of woman. I make vows and promises, I keep them and I loved husband #2. If he hadn't turned into a lush, I'd still be with him. My son was attracted to older women when he was younger and I mean 10 -20 yrs.older. He said they actually had something to talk about unlike women his own age. I told him he was not looking hard enough.


Stacia (the 2010 club) (stacia_r) Double darnit. I can't keep going with the old man/underage girl comments. Why do you keep feeding me things to comment on RA?

Sally (mrsnolte) | 17373 comments Mod
Because he's really a teenage girl and you're actually a 67 year old man. Dirty bird, go read a Barely Legal.


Stacia (the 2010 club) (stacia_r) I'd rather be a damn dirty ape or something.

I find them both distasteful, therefore they make a perfect match in my mind. Regardless of age. I hope they get married.

Hee. Why does your mind keep going to that place, Staciamy?


Stacia (the 2010 club) (stacia_r) I was in a strange mood earlier. It's gone now.
