I know I know..I didn't post last Monday but only because last weekend rocked and I didn't have a second to write!! Saturday I spent time with the fam and went to go see a taping of "Lets Make A Deal". That was fun!!! And then Sunday was my roommate's birthday! Shout out to Laura! Woohoo #24.
Also, I got a new job! #NewLifeJourney....can I get a WHAT WHAT?!?
So excited! Anyways, lets talk about AGE!!
So we've all heard of the cougar, the MILF and the cradle robber. All of these inferring that there's a big gap in age between the woman and the man of interest...but then there's the million dollar question...
Does Age Really Matter? Is It Really Just A Number?
We see couples like:
- Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher = 15 year difference (Divorced)
- Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes = 16 year difference (Divorced)
- Courtney Stodden and Doug Hutchison = 34 year difference (Separated)
**In case you don't remember who this couple is, I'll refresh your memory:
- Hugh Hefner and Crystal Harris = 60 year difference (Married for 8 months).
Call me crazy but I think age isn't JUST a number. Age is a culture, an era, a way of life. I couldn't relate to someone and be in a relationship with a person born in the 60's because I wouldn't know or understand where they were coming from. While I watched "Kenan and Kell" or "The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air" the other person would be quoting "Leave It To Beaver".
Yeah...see?
Anyways, with all of this being said, it brings me to my first story.
Story Number 1 for today
I was talking with my 80 year old grandfather last week and he told me one of the best stories I've heard in a long time. Imagine an old man who uses a walker in a CVS looking for ear plugs to purchase in order to feel more comfortable while watching a movie. He's just browsing the aisles minding his own business when a much younger woman approaches him. She says to him:
Younger Woman: You're a very handsome older man and I'm attracted to older men.
Grandpa: Well, we have a problem here you see.
Younger Woman: What's that?
Grandpa: I've been with my current wife for 60 years and I don't think she would like this but there's another problem miss.
Younger Woman: What?
Grandpa: You smell like you've just smoked a whole pack of cigarettes.
Younger Woman: Well, I did just get divorced and I'm smoking because I'm sad.
Grandpa: Well, at least you know what the problem is.
And then he walked away...slowly...kind of like this but with less pizzaz.
Haha I guess some woman think they can get any guy...no matter what the age and I applaud my grandfather for not giving in to temptation :P
The next story is from a girl on my Israel trip. She's a great person and very down to earth. We'll call her, G.I. for Good Intentions. We'll call the boy she went out with, The Penny Pincher or "The P.P." for short.
So G.I. was told by a couple of different people that The P.P. was super smart and super witty and a NJB (Nice Jewish Boy) so she decided to go out with him. When The P.P. asked her what she wanted to do which was fine and G.I. gave him three ideas...all of which he said were "Standard" and "Boring" according to him. He wanted to "do" something. Once they finally decided on a destination, the date was set...as well as the time, but he decided it would be best to make a fashionably late entrance.
35 minutes late.
It's fine to be late, if you communicate you'll be late, but also not to an event that you have tickets for. Poor G.I. waited out in the cold until he got there with the tickets because she wasn't allowed in.
Anyways, they finally get into the destination and he says to G.I. "Oh, let me get you a drink".
**To a normal person, that means, "let me get you a drink"...not only physically but also monetarily. Like, I expect the guy to purchase the drink if he offers. HOWEVER, as G.I. and The Penny Pincher receive their drinks, he looks over at her and says, "Uh...Ok...I guess I'll pay for this".
WTF? I guess when he asked "let me get you a drink"..he just meant literally...let me physically hand it to you and that's it.
Good Intentions was confused as any girl would be!
Anyways, the date continued and she paid for her dinner as he took a phone call...#Classy
Needless to say, she didn't feel chemistry so they decided to go their separate ways.
