Men & Their Sweet, Young Things.


Hubby came home from flight the other day. Told me a 27 year old stewardess was hitting on his divorced 40 something Captain throughout the flight. (Ye ke? Just the captain? Hmmm) Anyway, hubby encouraged the captain to go for it, however he declined, citing that she was an old maid, too old for his liking. WHAT??? Old? In comparison to what? A 12 year old? Is this man some kind of paedophile? Euuuwww.

How old ought a woman be to be considered too old? I'd always thought that if you were 35 and above and still unmarried, then you may be considered an old maid. Apparently, these days, men are drawing the lines at 26 (at least the man within my circle that is). Every unmarried or recently divorced men that I've known so far are chasing the likes of women ranging from the age of 18 (which I personally think is barely legal)to 22 year olds. If you're 23 and haven't manage to snag these men, just consider that you've missed the boat.

No wonder successful 30 year old women can't find a mate these days. Equally successful men are all chasing the likes of 19 year olds. So they're left with a wide selection of unsuccessful younger men who needs to be taken care of. And appallingly, they settle for these rejects because I guess they feel that the companionship is better than being with nothing.

Hubby's divorced late 30 year old pal (lets just call him Mr. X)is scheduled to wed a 22 year old sweet, young thing end of this month. Mr. X is actually going to the end of the earth and to the moon and back to meet all of her demands. He is throwing her a combined lavish wedding ceremony(her sister is sharing the reception with her) all at his expense. Her parents aren't forking out a single cent. A diamond wedding ring as big as my daughter's eyeball. An RM800k house in her name. A 2 weeks honeymoon in some unpronounceable, exotic, remote island. And god knows what else. Hello? Wake Up and smell the coffee. Gold Digger Alert.

The thing is, why do these men put up with these sweet, young things? It is a well known fact that women within this age range are the ultimate drama queens. Yet, these men are willing to put up with their craps Why? Because these wee ones have breasts that defies gravity? Nope. Let me tell you why these sort of men won't go after older women. Because they're afraid that these older women would immediately smell out the miserable piece of shit of a man (pardon my french) that he really is inside, that's why. Enuff said.

Perhaps it's an ego thingy??? Hubby has got this late 40's friend who is going to wed a 34 year old beyootiful woman (yes, she is beautiful lah), who used to be someone's mistress.Anyway, hubby's friend is so darn rich that it doesn't bother him that he looks more like her uncle than future hubby. Yep, another gold digger...don't you just detest them???

linda, being skeptical and all that, i would definitely agree with you. but it is rather unfair for those who has really found their mate no matter how big the age gap is don't you think?

Nana,
I guess ur right. But its sad to see that these days material comforts overshadows love. Or should that be the way?

Adi,
Yelah sekarang you muda, esok tua nanti? Simpang malaikat 44. :D

Elina,
Detest them? In a way I do. But sometimes I'm kinda impressed by these ladies who knows what they want, and gets what they want. Sometimes only lah....haha!;)
