Insult or compliment
Posted: Jun 7, 2010
I am a 51 year old woman. I take care of myself and I appreciate that my husband thinks I am attactive. What galls me are things like this: Today at my zumba class a young man came over to try to talk to me. I was doing my best to escape without much conversation, but he wants me to know that he's "into older women" and I look good for a "woman my age"...
Out having a drink with a friend, we get approached by these boys that look like we should be babysitting them and they are also were "into cougars"... I showed them my claws and they left.
This put me off. I am not fishing for compliments from young pups at all, but when did it turn into a "you look good for a ..." instead of "you're a good looking woman"?? Does it have to have that proviso attached?

Cougars are the in thing. Not for me though don't play that game...LOL

[ In Reply To ..]LOL! What a great story. I don't play that game either, maybe that's why it galls me. Maybe I should just be glad that they think so, while they still think so, before it fades away! Thanks!

It seems that the collection agencies are now outsourcing their work to India, too. First, they took our jobs and now they are calling us asking why we can't pay our bills. What will they do when they can't call us because our phones are turned off? This country has gone to c**p. ...

NOT Okay To Send Insult To Private EmailsApr 20, 2010
This is an email I just received from "Proud Republican" at my home email-the second one, btw. Needless to say, the pubs are definitely NOT above name-calling. The letters were not blanked out, btw.
