Too Old......Or Not Old Enough?

Having had the “AGE” conversation with so many single men and women, along with hearing Enrique’s story, it’s questionable whether or not age is the real issue here. In Enrique’s case, its only 2 years later, and he’s regretting being so brain dead and letting Ms. Wonderful slip away. Should 2 years, someone’s age, or timing make the difference in forming a relationship? Are we all just being stupid and missing our perfect opportunities?
Many say age matters; however, I truly think of age as just a number or another lame excuse. Age, to me, isn’t a factor if younger, BUT if older, tends to be an issue. The worst is when you meet a guy who’s in his 30s and from his picture looks like it but when you meet, he looks like he’s old enough to be your grandpa! Just like many men like an attractive, healthy, spirited, hot woman, many women feel the same. While many women go to extreme lengths to maintain their youthful look even after kids, they may expect (or at least hope) for men to do the same.

My friend, Natalie, was telling me how she went on a blind date with a guy who was 32 but looked and acted old enough to be her father! She sat on the phone with me saying, “I just don’t understand how a man at 32 can look and act as if he’s 60 and has never opened up a GQ!” I laughed and completely understood. It’s like, we all know sun causes wrinkles, so why so many women continue to slather themselves with baby oil under the hot sun is crazy to me. And then if they have the nerve to say that they say this miss their reflectors, I feel like saying, HONEY reflector? Are you kidding? You should take a trip to a plastic surgeon and zap away all those ugly, aging brown spots you got from the damaging reflector!

But, so often you’ll hear many singles justifying why they are still single by saying it was timing, age, or location, that them from forming a relationship. Was it really all these issues? Or, is always thinking the grass is greener on the other side standing in our way from trying? The hard thing, though, is when the man or woman makes it clear he or she likes you, and you, (for undisclosed reasons), keep playing them like a yo-yo……..Why? Why, when it’s made clear someone likes you only for the sex (and your amazing bod) is the “friend with benefits” thing never addressed or discussed? Are we hiding from having the conversation because we’re scared to be let down, or do we think that by not bringing up one’s want for more and instead just going with the “flow” that maybe on its own time the relationship will blossom? BUT whatever the reason, let the Maven explain to you men that if you snooze, you will lose. If you wait too long and keep playing head games thinking you’ve got her whipped, many girls can quickly turn the whip into a broom and sweep you away. Better YOU should sweep THEM off their feet and whip them away WITH you. Are men not making the move for fear of let down or knowing this maybe the last clitt their dicks feel?
