Thanks for putting in your link, Jane. This is a great piece. I especially liked: “Imagine singing your world into existence. Not mapping it, not five year planning it, but singing it into existence.” It is indeed a beautiful thought.

Women over 60 can be indeed yummy! I love ‘em! Nothing like a grownup self supporting sexy lady out of my cultural and educational background to share the delights of life now that the children grown and gone.

Markie, this isn’t about you and your imaginary women. Now go say your prayer again, the one where you are so happy you weren’t born a woman. How dare you come on this website and say that. Thou protest too much, methinks.

Sorry, kermie b, my women are not imaginary. Prosperous, well educated, and kindhearted single men in their 60s are catnip for the older women crowd. There’s no shortage of terrific older gals with snazzy figures, warm hearted souls, and financial self reliance to make it paradise on earth for older guys like me. Methinks I’m not protesting too much! I love women. Hence makes sense to make WOWOWOW a regular stop on my browsing routine.

Excuse me, you are catnip? Sorry. I just had to cough up a hairball. You and your maverick buddies…you just slay me.

Catnip it was. Divorced for a number of years decided to resume dating several months ago once all the children were successfully launched. When the youngest of my four graduated from college last winter, started to look around. With one personal ad on a Jewish dating site without a photo just saying I was tall, slender, kindhearted financially secure retired professional man I was deluged with responses. Didn’t take very long to meet and click with someone near my age who lived close by.

Am glad to hear that, Mark. I hope you treat that “someone near my age who lives close by” with more respect than you’ve shown on this site. Perhaps she can give you more than catnip.

Phylis—What you think is disrespect is the inability of women to take criticism at the same time they can sure dish it out. I stick by the main ideas I’ve posted here that feminism (1) destroyed stable family life (2) wrecked the economy (3) is responsible for the obesity epidemic and (4) America’s endless bankrupting wars to impose the blessings of feminism on a very reluctance Islamic world. Understandable Muslim guys deciding to blow themselves rather than end up getting treated by their women the way ours treat us.

“Understandable Muslim guys deciding to blow themselves rather than end up getting treated by their women the way ours treat us.’ —-to blow themselves rather than end up, etc. Do you mean blow each other or blow themselves up? I’m confused.

Woops, that didn’t come out right either!!!!!

Blow themselves UP.
