Two noteworthy things happened recently. One, I talked with my friend Gary about one of our favorite musicals: The Music Man. Two, I had a conversation with passionate sipandgogirl.com contributor Crazy Spectacular about dating.
The two events intersected in the most fascinating way.
I was chatting via Facebook’s personal messaging system with Crazy Spectacular and told her about an ex-boyfriend posting compromising photos of a woman.
She went to that man’s Facebook page and contacted me in horror. But it wasn’t the photos of the woman that gave her pause. It was the photos of the man. She was stunned he was 20 years older than me.
This should not be a shock. I’ve dated and married men older than me a million times over. Crazy Spectacular knew my ex husband personally for heaven’s sake. She also knows about others I’ve dated and that some have been younger and some my same age.
But she was still horrified. Stop dating older men, like the now-older-than-60 guy she saw on Facebook, she warned.
Crazy Spectacular: Be careful. Guys think with their dicks. 60-year-olds want to get it on with anyone. Any 60 year old guy would never turn down the kindness of someone 20 years younger and try to get some. I assure you. They aren’t there to have intellectual conversations with you. They want to try and bed you.
Sip and Go Girl: I think any man would have sex if a woman offered it.
Crazy Spectacular: Yes any man would accept. But a 60 year old? Once you give him an ounce of attention, you’ve given him too much. They are desperate. I’m talking about you. A fat clown girl may not have the same effect. But you? You need to worry. He’s trying to fish you in quick and say all sorts of bullshit. He’ll say anything and you’ll think he’s a prize. No, he’s a desperate old guy.

Sip and Go Girl: Why are you telling me this? And don’t you think some guys older than 50 can get gals of any age? Older and younger?
Crazy Spectacular: Larry King yes. Rich geezers yes because young bimbos are greedy. You are not a bimbo and are nowhere in such category. But you are a weirdo. I’m trying to save you from doing old dudes. Stop now. Turn away. Friends don’t let friends do old guys. Disgusting. No more please. Gross. You are not of right mind. Be sure to look at all his nooks and crannies in daylight. Decide then.
Sip and Go Girl: Will you send me a baby gift if I have a baby by a guy older than 60?
Crazy Spectacular: Shut up. You don’t want a baby. What’s gotten into you? Where the hell is Sip and Go Girl? You need intervention. I’m prescribing guys ages 37-44. Good night.
I turned away from my phone laughing.
Age ain’t nothing but a number. Robert Preston’s character Harold Hill wooed Shirley Jones character Marian Paroo and the age difference was 16 years. I know this from the recent excessive watching of scenes from the 1962 Music Man film.
The sadder but wiser girl!
While I don’t agree with an attractive 40 something year old woman dating a 60+ year old man, I think that your “advisor” was a very harsh and condemning. Someday that “lady” will be over 60 too. I seriously doubt that she would enjoy being spoken of as she spoke of older men.
“Guys think with their dicks”. Really!? Did Crazy Spectacular say anything that wasn’t offensive? My brain, and dick, will steer me clear of any woman that is that much of a male bashing bitch! PLEASE tell us that she is married and not available in the dating scene, so we can be reassured that she is only torturing one poor bastard’s life.
