ORIGINAL: jlf1961 It is not that I have a problem relating to younger women, but more appropriately, it never fails that I am always good enough to go to for advice, but not as dating material. You're relating to younger women but not as dating material. You're relating to them (us) as a father. (Daddy really doesn't work for me because I often call the men that I date "Daddy" ...) quote:
ORIGINAL: jlf1961 The young lady that I mentioned has a nasty habit of calling me two and three times a week and asking advice, about guys, cars, etc. Now, I have always believed in being available for people who wish to ask me for help, but perhaps this is one instance where I probably should change tactics, or at least put an end to the 'daddy' type phone calls. Tonight was a good example, she called me and asked if I could give her a ride home, seems her date dumped her and took off. I made a call and got her a ride, and then she called and complained about the fact I wasnt the one that gave her the ride! Now by the same token, there is a neighbor girl that comes over all the time asking about what to do about various problems she is having with her horse, a mare that seems to be prone to uterus infections, every time she comes into season. You look like a "father" and you talk like a "father" so us youngsters are gonna see you as a father. Also, like a father, you bailed her little butt out when her date dumped her. (But you didn't pick her up yourself, which kind of blows your opportunity to play the Knight in Shining Armor.) Thats not sexy. It kinda makes you think ... Wow, he's JUST like my dad! quote:
ORIGINAL: jlf1961 The primary reason I am looking for someone younger is because I have actually thought it might be nice to have kids around the house again. While many younger women -want- children, we don't want to be seen as "breeders" ... I broke up with a man for that exact reason. He saw me as a young, fertile female who could provide him with some babies and while he may have seen more than that in me, eventually that seemed to be the focus of our relationship. And frankly, as a young woman who does want a family, I want my children to have a father that will be around to see them grow up but also be able to do stuff with them. My father was 50 years old when I was born. He couldn't really do a whole lot with me and he died just as I becoming a teenager. It really messed me up for a long time. quote:
ORIGINAL: jlf1961 And the funny thing is that five years ago, the fact that I was a busted up old cowboy was considered 'romantic' by a good number of girls in the same age bracket. That was five years ago. You were five years younger. Once you reach a certain age, 5 years is A LOT.
