Speaking of shallow, but in a different way... I have to admit something. I just don't find supposedly "young hotties" attractive at all. Sure they have tight, supple, and unblemished skin, and perfect hair, and revealing clothing -- but for the most part they act like idiotic self-absorbed sluts.
I know some of you will say, "And your point is...?" My point is that, if you are satisfied with this lot as your sexual mate, then I would argue that you are, in some way, a fetishist: since these girls don't display any outward signs of lifelong human potential, they are, in effect, perceived as masturbation devices. Maybe it's because I'm pushing 47, but you show me a smart, confident woman in her forties, fifties, or older, a genuinely happy smile, some (or a lot of) gray hair (Clairol be damned!), and wearing clothing with class and style, and I'm stopped dead in my tracks. And it's not just a sexual attraction, I guess, but more a genuine admiration. Case in point: Leslie Stahl. Which would you rather spend the rest of your life with if you were a man of Leslie's age? Some 19-year-old chick from a Girls Gone Wild DVD, or Leslie Stahl. Just take a minute and imagine the weight of conversation you would be able to formulate with each. Go ahead. On our second date, I asked Lisa for an example of her writing. She brought me some, and after three minutes reading I had decided that I was going to marry her. That was about seventeen years ago, and it was the best decision I've ever made in my life. The fact that she is also physically beautiful didn't hurt, but I was looking for a human being to read for the rest of my life, not just the dust jacket. Those dust jackets get worn to shreds pretty quickly, and then what are you left with? Don't get me wrong, I have the same chemical reactions to pretty young things from a distance, as long as I can't hear them prattling on about meaningless drivel. I guess I actually despise them, really. So here's to every forty-and-older woman out there who spent more time developing her brain than brushing the hair covering it, who doesn't take a back seat to a man or anyone else for that matter, who makes her opinions known to the world at whatever level of volume is necessary, who doesn't fear the natural progression of aging and the fat and water retention it brings, who loves herself, who loves her body, who votes, who knows how to say "No," who reads, who argues, and who is damned happy through it all. I hope my daughter grows up to be just like you.
