Aging....not so bad

At what point in life, do you suppose, is it that it begins to dawn on you that you're going to get old?  At 18, you pretty much believe that you're going to be that way forever. This is something you can be forgiven for, because let's face it, it's all you know.  Old people are "those" people -  fat, hairy and sooo not cool.  Of course, there were exceptions like your Uncle.  He never married (hmm..), traveled the world extensively and was probably taking LSD.

Then at some point - and I'm guessing it's around 30 or so - you start to realize that "hey, wait a minute here - I'm not getting any younger!".  And what was once a funny phrase you heard your parents say all of a sudden became a new fact of life.  Fuck.  Do you realize what this means, you ask yourself in front of a mirror, literally watching your body start to sag in front of your eyes?  It means:

• Hair receding from your head and then magically reappearing on your back and inside your nose and ears,
• Wrinkles developing around your eyes and forehead,
• Having overall less energy,
• Acquiring a home mortgage that will probably last longer than you will,
• Being required to endure seemingly endless dead boring dinner parties,
• Loss of sexual appeal to others,
• Increasing.......Wait!  WTF was that last one again??
• Loss of sexual appeal to others!?!?    NO F. U. C. K. I. N. G. WAY. 
• Way.

So now this growing up business has taken a nasty viscious turn.  Something you've spent the majority of your life wanting to do - grow up and be legally able to have a cocktail - is something you want to slam the brakes on!  This isn't the deal I signed up for, I'm supposed to be young, carefree and laughing forever!  Well, ummm no.  

Does this mean that I'll no longer be able to meet - without money changing hands - these cute, young 20-something boys anymore - a pursuit I have bravely dedicated the majority of my adult life to?  Thankfully, the answer to this question is a resounding "no".  Why?

Because I have found, dear readers, that in the vast world of internet dating there in fact exists a group of young men who - get ready for this revelation - like older men.  Seriously??  Seriously.  In some philosophical circles this can be interpreted as incontrovertible evidence of the existence of God.  I never knew such a group existed because I can say with 95% certainty that I have never had sex with someone who was older than me.  (Better make that 75% certainty, because in some cases the lighting was pretty bad).

It's somehow a comfort to know that the cheesy song Everybody Loves Somebody is actually true.  Ain't life grand?
