As evidenced by many previous posts, P4P can be fraught with emotional danger.  However fleeting or ephemeral, we're talking about a connection between people, usually pretty intense.  So infatuation, misunderstanding of affection, jealousies, overheated feeling can result.

My question is, ladies and gents, does the ability to keep these emotions under control seem to increase with age?  Are older drivers more able to stay between the lines?  Do self-knowledge and self control accrue with years?

Seems like this "hobby" provides a unique laboratory to discover whether wisdom actually comes with age, or if that's just a myth promulgated by geezers.

Whadya think?

personality type

and

experience

experience should not be presumed to be greater with age - many persons come to hobbyworld later in life

to leave the hooker world and be totally devoted to me and my wrinkled whims, no matter what they may be.

Plus it is nice to know as you move into the Power Scooter age, some one will be there to help you in and out (no pun intended) out of it. Hey, and not to mention the changing of the depends as well.

We Geezers actually have a lot to look forward to in life with the right hooker. With her looking forward, not so much.

I doubt I'll ever get so old and so risk averse that I'll need to completely free from danger short of death. That's my only wisdom: willingness to be a fool.

It's ironic, but mongering and carousing with swingers, other mongers and hookers helped me learn better how to emotionally connect with people. Go figger.

But it doesn't mean I'm looking for someone to save, and come make whats left of the rest of my life any more fulfilling.

On the other hand, I am quite proud to include some of these same swingers, mongers and hookers among my closest and most trusted friends today.

I think it really is an individual thing. With age comes wisdom, so they say. But that doesn't necessarily change what we are, as much as how we are able to mold WHO we become over time.

It's not a myth promulgated by geezers. But it is PERPETUATED by us

emotional IQ and maturity, and willingness to learn, which in their very nature rule out an over-inflated ego.

but I believe it has made me less prone to relationship blunders.

I find that sex can be a lot of fun with someone whose has some life experiences to share.

Some of us really enjoy the geezers..

May I also point out. they are much more honest and far less uptight about their needs, wants, expectations and desire......

the cock always wins over the mind, it just isn't a blowout anymore past a certain age.

(Tip of the hat to Seinfeld on that one.)

You become so entrenched in your real life with so much to risk and lose by wandering into the arms of someone else.  Also, with age comes perspective. Do you really want to give it all up for a chance at a relationship with a 25 year old hottie?  

That having been said, if you share this experience with someone, especially numerous times, some sort of emotional connection is inevitable.


I also think with age comes forgetfulness Like when I'm done with round one, head off to the bathroom, come back and to my surprise there's a hottie there in my bed all over again.

It did with me (I am 58).

People with self-acceptance and self-awareness are often more likely to see themselves and other people more realistically.

As I've aged, my eyesight has worsened significantly.  As a result, I no longer have an issue walking past a mirror stark naked.  In fact, I think that the blurriness helps.  As the eyesight continues on it's downhill path, I see myself being naked in the yard and eventually at the park.

Getting old means never having to say you're sorry.  It also means that you can pile up more 18-yr old girls to equal your age.

Even the wisest geezer with years of experience is no match for the right woman. The guys who shout the loudest about staying between the lines are the ones most likely to have been flipped upside down by a razor-sharp cutie pie. The worst mistake is to think that you are immune. The wisest course is to assume that we are all doomed.

I hope it's not a trend, or I'd get in BIIIIIGGGG trouble.

Nothing more than exercising the ability to make the right informed decision that preserves and protects your life's work no matter what your possibly contrary instinctual and emotional needs and desires would drive you to do.

Fortitude is a crucible.

Crucibles burn.

You can park your scooter right next to my Harley in the Handicap spot. Since I have the Handicap unit. No one complains and there is extra room to keep them safe from harm

Get laid enough times, know its readily available, don't operate from a needy basis, then you have some perspective on your own drives, desires.  Plus once your desires are sated, you can move on to the next thing or the higher level, i.e. develop.  Develop enough parts of yourself to a higher level you may have the beginnings of wisdom.
