Of course no gentleman expects a lady to really, truly fess up about her age. When I am searching for someone new to meet, I apply a certain calculus to arrive at a provider's true age. It's just a guess, but many women play the game perfectly, and I get it close.

But I know there are some girls out there subtracting 10 or 15 years off their true age.

Here is the problem with this: as I get older and watch my daughter age, I've decided that I don't want to meet ladies who remind me of her. It's creepy. I'd rather meet a woman no younger than 45-ish, so I can enjoy fantasizing that she really could be my wife or GF or pickup.  I know many--maybe most--guys don't give a fuck and it doesn't bother them at all to be seeing girls 40 years younger. But I'll bet a lot of men feel like me.

Think of it this way: if you're claiming to be 34 when you're really 48 two things are going to happen:

1. I'll probably pass you over.  
2. The 40 year-old guys you meet might be disappointed. Where I would have been perfectly delighted. Which kind of client do you like best, disappointed or delighted?

There's someone for everyone. If we're hobbying into our 70s, 55 year-old women are our young hotties!  

Just keep it in the ballpark is all I'm saying.

women don't take the aging thing lightly lol.  I am hitting a big one this year (grrrrrrr lol) and find myself worrying about "the number"... like everything is going to be different all of a sudden and will never be the same.  I know it's just a number but I don't want it to define me as a person.  I have a set of grandparents (94 and 92) married 73 years now so longevity is in the jeans woohoo!

I am looking forward to the next part of my life.

HCM, there will always a be place for ladies of a certain age in this business.

I remember one of the most successful ladies in New England when I used to live there was one Holly Winthrop, who provided well into her 60s. She told me that guys would drive to see her from three states away. She was amazed by it. After I met her, I understood her clients' loyalty.

The girls 21-30 are younger than my daughters and older than my granddaughters, hence I don't see any of them in any of them!  

You just don't think about the fact that that young girl sees you as a pathetic old geezer. It's great if you have that immunity.

and tell me how bad they want it, it never crosses my mind!   lol
