I was pretty shocked to hear him just flat out admit thats what guys do. I suppose yes, with age comes wisdom, although when its put that way, it just sounds like they are tired of the rat race or something.

I am one of the nice girls, and I never have luck with men. I suppose I could seek out older men who are looking to get married (not a lot older, but a few years, although I’m older than the average marrying male in my area so I don’t know how that would work out.) but I’ve always liked younger guys, and found older ones intimidating, so that would require a great shift in my own perceptions too.

I think its a corollary to the male version of “you date the trashy chicks and marry the nice girls”, though.

Its horrible behavior and I don’t understand it from people of either sex.

An admission on a early date or flirting that you have a nest egg is very strange to me, however, it would definitely pull you from the above category, which would put me at ease a bit.

I’ve never had this happen to me, but all the guys I know are in the same position as me: low paying jobs because of age/education/economy factors. So where they might have gotten that money (aside from a trust fund) I have no idea.

I’m glad I’ve always been very low-maintenance. In fact, I recently cut my hair less than an inch long because I was tired of having to maintain it.

The best part was going with my sister for her make-over. My sister asked her why I had better skin than she did. The beautician looked at both of us and said simply “Your sister doesn’t wear makeup, does she? That’s why.” I’ve also been told that I have very healthy hair…because I don’t do anything to it.
