Its a military bugle call done at an ungodly hour of the morning... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGnZxcS7VKA Something I have not experienced since leaving officer candidate school... Watch the video twilight - would you kill the man who woke you up that way each morning at 5am , followed by flag raising and cannon fire? LOL If I did that the women I date would pull my dick off and beat me to death with it jlf LOL

I wouldn't be quite that violent but I wouldn't be thrilled either.

JLF, please consider some of the advice given on this thread. Until very recently, I was the young girl who dated all the way older men and I don't want to be mean but I wouldn't have dated you either. And you know, I love horses and would love to own some or at least be permitted to interact with them on a daily basis. But thats not enough to develop a relationship with someone.

Your age may have caught up with you. -OR- maybe your attitude. Please consider ... You can change but you're the only one who make those changes.

I was thinking about this thread last night, it bothered me slightly and I didn't know why.
When I was 20, there was no way I would be interested in a 40 yr old, whether or not he had a home and security. I felt the same when I was 30 and men of 50 would hit on me. Now that I am older, I sometimes get the way younger guys hitting on me, and it is just as distasteful to me.
I have an 8-10 yr range on both sides of the spectrum. 10 yrs younger is common for me, 10 yrs older is less common but has been done.
Have you considered looking for companionship among people your own age?
Maybe seeking approval and attraction from younger women is the wrong way to go. Or do you discriminate against age?

Actually steel, most of the ones that I am referring to are either a) my son, or b) the young women in a support group (therapy group) that seem to have made that assumption.

And this is not really a whine, more of a rant.

What REALLY amazes me is that after all the insinuations to the effect they consider the older generation losers, they turn around and ask for advice.

My son asks for suggestions on trade school, the girls in the therapy group ask the older guys about dating advice, car trouble, just about every thing that is not a specific female related problem.

While she is a very attractive 19 year old woman, an almost perfect image of beauty, except for the scar that runs along the side of her head.

Has anyone but me noticed that the younger generations seem to have put a permanent label on men older than 35?

I have read the entire thread and agree with many of the comments on here.

A question Jlf.... how is what you are doing.... ie. making a generalisation about young people based upon your son and some females you know, different from what they are doing?

In regards to having a child so that you can pass on your skills, what if they are not interested in learning them? Could you maybe share your skills with some of the local people instead, teaching them skills that they otherwise won't have access to?

When I was 19 I wasn't interested in listening to an older person tell me about how much they knew or how much I could learn from them, I was interested in drinking beer, playing pool and partying.

ps. should I be scared that as a 41 year old I actually replied yes to everything DA talked about ..... bring on the next installment of the Paris and Nicole double wedding I say!

Not only on CM, but in the real world.

The label being loser, at least if you are not pulling down a six figure income.

I find it funny because right now, I am better off than my father was at the same age. I have enjoyed my life and see nothing lacking in it, except perhaps my inability to deal with vanilla relationships.

I guess it really shouldnt surprise me, considering that any wisdom the older generation may have accumulated over a lifetime is neither wanted or heeded by the younger people today.

However, in closing, I would not refer to anyone who has managed to live through 40+ years of back breaking work, has a home without a mortgage, friends, and has managed to do so without losing his sense of ethics.

JLF, women no matter their age are attracted to a confident and compassionate man and a good sense of humor *certainly* helps too!
I'm 57 so I have 10 years on you but I don't look it as I try to take care of myself.
Guys like D.A. and me don't worry ourselves about what a woman may "think" of us as if we could devine what another is thinking about.
If a woman is looking only at a man's income you don't want them anyway! We call them "gold diggers."
Really, do you think you'd be happy with a woman who looked at you only because of your income?
I was in the Navy during Vietnam and learned pretty quickly after getting out to keep my mouth shut about it to avoid blank stares and silence.
I was sent the other way to the Med, on a Fleet Oiler refueling Carriers, Cruisers and Destroyers even though I volunteered to go to Vietnam.
One of my duties as a "Quartermaster" was to steer the ship while we were 100-150 feet away from an Air Craft Carrier alongside of us taking on fuel and "Av Gas" at about 12 knots. On the other side there'd be a Cruiser or Destroyer.
It could get pretty hairy. We were "Expert Helmsmen."
It wasn't too "cool" back in the day but many more people respect veterans today.
Vietnam was an extremely unpopular war.
As for myself I find that many younger woman are attracted to older guys.
Maybe it's the life experience or just the confidence we exude.
One thing you shouldn't do is to pre-suppose what a woman is thinking!
Does *any* man "know" what a woman is thinking?
Maybe we should ship your ass up to the Houston area to visit D.A. for a few days, he's got "confidence" to spare!
He'll get your ass squared away!

With everything that has been said, and I appreciate the input, it has given me a lot of things to consider.

And strangely enough, the confidence I have when I step into a training ring with an unbroke horse does not seem to carry over to my dealings with the women younger than myself. Looking back at the last few years, I can distinctly point to the period when that began to change (thank god I keep a frigging journal.)

I ended a dom/sub relationship within days of a doctor informing me that I would need extensive rehabilitation on some old injuries in the lumbar spine area, and there was a chance (slim) that it could actually end with me in a wheel chair.

While I have not made a full and perfect recovery, it did leave me in a positition where many of the things I once did without thinking are beyond my ability. Okay, so I cant step into a saddle and ride an unbroke horse until he gets tired, I still have the knowledge and enough skill to come up with a workable solution... i.e a feed sack full of sand, which I have been doing for the last few months. (I have also noticed that using the bag of sand seems to have the added benefit of zero bruises, dislocated joints, and fractures...)

Thanks for the input from all and should I ever seem to express self doubt in the future, please by all means, give me a figurative kick in the ass.

FYI, the young lady with the mare basically gave me a verbal kick in the ass this morning as well. Her words were, "Why the hell cant you show the same confidence with women as you do with horses? There aint a fucking thing different between the two, with the exception that a woman is going to tell you rather bluntly when you are being stupid."
(me thinks DA made a phone call)

i'm one that is attracted to older men, i always have been. but if i had been 19 and some 40 year old was pretending to like what i did i would have thought he was an idiot. my Master is 20 years older than i am and i don't expect Him to like everything i like or vice versa. be yourself and find the one that fits you, why put an age on it? chances are, you won't find some young, barely legal girl who will fit what you want or have the same goals as you do.

LOL No wanders I dont! Thats a Navy term for "set right" Popeye is right though in that that I do have the confidence it takes... With the right attitude the elephant man could get laid... I should run a class I swear to God. I showed popeye a little of what graces my deck when he was planning a move to Houston and I think thats more what he was referring to
