Younger guys are supposed to be all about sex but in my experience I have found that not necessarily to be true. Okay maybe it is pretty much true, but to my surprise that is not ALL they are about. They are also about calling, flattering, and taking you to dinner. They are not afraid to introduce you to their families and friends, or let you into their inner circle faster than a single guy nearing 40 will. That is for sure. They are sweet and call in the middle of the day to check on your dog. Even if they really are only horny little toads. At least they make the effort and show some common courtesy. Perhaps because they are still young enough to remember the manners that their mothers taught them.

So what happens when a woman in her thirties finds a guy in his twenties and he is into her? Does that make her a cougar? Or just tired of dealing with myopic man-boys who are fast approaching middle age and are in total denial about it? In a way it makes sense because men hit their sexual stride in their early twenties but women just begin to hit it in their mid thirties.

Also, I think a younger man can appreciate a woman who is emotionally and financially independent, who can probably teach him a thing or two. A woman with a backbone who knows what she wants and isn't afraid to ask for it. A woman who doesn’t whine or get upset about frivolous things or give a shit if he wants to spend a night out with the guys [Go, please and give me some space]. The single 30-something male claims to want all of these things in a mate but in actuality when he is faced with it, he runs in the opposite direction with his tail between his legs.

A case then could certainly be made for the younger male / older female situation. All this time I've been thinking its same age or older men I should be dating, but maybe I was wrong. Maybe the young ones are where it's at.

One thing is for sure. Aside from the annoying misspellings and lol’s, the younger male can do wonders for the female ego.

Enter exhibit A.

“So just curious as to when the next [insert name of local bar here] run is going to be :O)”

“Ha, I was just there yesterday actually. Word on the street is that the gang is getting together tomorrow night. I’m gonna stop by for a quick one if my doggy is doing okay. Are you going?”

“Whats wrong with your doggy?? Hope hes alright. I might be pursuaded to :O)”

“Cancer :( “

“Damn im sorry to hear that, that really sucks. How old is he?? Let me know if you decide to go to tomorrow. :O) “

“14 years old . You should come…just don’t ask me about my dog over alcohol or I may get too depressed and want to leave. Or I may start crying… and then you’d have to hold me. “

“That would be okay…”

“Really? Aren’t guys afraid of having to provide emotional support to non-girlfriends because then they are afraid that it makes the girl think she is becoming the girlfriend? “

“Na, only losers would think like that.”

“Hmmmph....brilliant!”

“Wow 14 is pretty old for a pug isn’t it?? I will try and swing by, what time you going?? I promise i will not mention dogs. Besides if i was trying to get you to leave it would be with me lol. So getting you upset would be a bad thing :O)”

“Probably around 6:00 or 7:00”

“Sounds good, i guess i'll stalker you later then. I mean catch you later then :O)”

“C you tomorrow then.”

“Sounds good, should i knock on the front door or back door?? It might take me a while to find your house again. lol.”

“Better not tell you now”

“Cant blame me for trying though :O)”

“I admire your persistence”

“I try, im like a bad rash that doesnt go away lol i cant help it that i find you extremly attractive. My apologies if that is wrong for me to say or makes you feel uncomfortable.”

“Dude, you’re like 12 years younger and you are totally flirting with me!“

“Your not that old….but i’ll stop if you don’t want to hear it.”

“No, the flattery is good for my ego right now…feel free to tell me how awesome and adorable I am!”

“I figured you were tired of people telling you so i have kept quiet. I’ve told you beofre that you are an amazingly gorgeous woman with a perfect body... Not that i have been looking :O)”

“Please! somewhere out there is a guy who dumped me because apparently he didn’t think so. And I am FAR from perfect. My boobs are too small and I hate my thighs..I've thought about getting a boob job but with my luck I would probably end up with a third nipple or a uniboob..”

"lol, your funny too :O)"

“You gotta be kidding me right?? If a guy was stupid enough to leave its his loss. As far as your boobs i think they happen to be just the right size going by what ive seen. As for your thighs well lets just say if i was to type what i wanted to i would probably make you blush :O)

Whatever you do, do not have any surgery done. Trust me you look great the way you are :O)"

“Awww, thanks that is exactly what I needed to hear...no worries on the surgery thing, I wasn’t ever seriously considering it. They may be small but they are perky and proportionate to the rest of me.

Besides... I have enough problems with my golf swing without adding any new obstructions to the mix.”

“Yeah i would agree they are nice and perky although im limited as to what i have been able to see :O) Besides if you got fake boobs id have to stop stalking you :O) which i would hate”

“You don’t scare me…”
