I'm not a cougar...I still like being wined and dined

So I've ventured back into the dating world. I had no reason to leave....well my standards were not being met so I decided to just stop looking. Then it hit me....nothing big, just the need to go out and enjoy some male company. But where do you look for fun these days? The clubs...its too loud to talk, but good enough to grind on someone when you're frisky; The bars....you can have a conversation with someone random...but they might not meet your standards; Through friends...this always ends badly since you cannot avoid the person later on; The Internet...oh yes the fabulousness of online dating.

Well I went with the online approach recently. I am pretty honest and, since my past experiences have proven that I cannot get what I want, I also lowered my  standards. So I basically opened my profile up to anyone...just to see whats out there.

A little ecard I made for the occasion

This is the common, most overwhelming response in its many forms- I like older women....I think older women are hot...Let a younger man show you what older men can't do...blah blah you're old...etc

Fuck you. I don't need to be reminded that I'm not young.

Who wants to be reminded that they are out of their prime??!!

Now..I mean...I'm not ashamed of my age, I don't look it...but I am 34 right now... and that is ok.

But we don't need to talk about it...it does not have to be in your pick up line...I'm not buying you a drink.

Do they think I'm supposed to be impressed that they ventured into the nether regions of Old Lady Ville...am I to jump in bed with them since they gave me a look while other men turned away from my haggard old ladyness...

Its really not a turn on..no matter how you try to pretty it up. Its all a part of the realization that I'm too old to be wined and impressed by older men...but too young to leave that life behind.
