Fringe Benefits
~ DanjerusKurves
I have discovered, much to my lack of chagrin, that we all get mentally stuck at a specific age . . . and we “freeze” our mental images of others at a particular age.
Personally, I think my “mental age” is in my late 20s.
Which, hopefully, accounts for my
continued attraction to men in their 30s.
However, I seem to [mostly] attract men who are in their 20s . . . and I use the word “men” in a writer’s loose fashion.
It’s not just that they are looking to get laid . . . these younger guys actually want to date me! . . . Unlike their older counterparts. Is that bizarre or what?
With the exception, of course, of those with whom I work, because I tone it down to the absolute minimum at work — a slick of mascara, hair in a top-knot, baggy clothing, reading glasses.
Some of my readers — hi there! — are former or current coworkers! But they probably would not recognise me wearing eyeshadow and lipstick . . . and little else.
But take last Friday night at myNightclub™ by way of example. A very attractive 20-something guy came up to me on the dance floor. He politely asked if he could dance with me. I politely responded that I prefer to dance alone. He asked, again very politely, if he could just dance with me for a little while.
So I gave him The Works. Not the lap dance kind-of works that I have subjected certain guyfriends to because they were asking for it in the prick-tease-me-because-I-deserve-it kind of way . . . I gave him The Romance. I slid my arms around his neck, gazed up at him with a beam of long-lashed, hazel-eyed soft-seduction, pressed my body oh-so-very-gently against him . . .
Unlike 99% of both genders of the youngsters who invite themselves to dance with me, this guy was almost-entirely respectful! He didn’t try to hump my leg/hip/arse . . . instead he respected my space and only very lightly allowed his palms to brush softly against my hips.
Even when I turned my back to him and shook the goods, he remained a gentleman.
I found myself thinking What the hell? I am actually trying to get rid of this nice young man! Am I so used to the mostly-unwanted-attention-but-let’s-face-it-will-I-miss-it-when-it-stops that I am taking it for granted???
Admittedly, my ego is such that I was not about to point out that I am old enough to be his mo…th…er’s much younger sister. But, frankly, I ran out of smartarse remarks because despite that he was young and hot, he was also sweet and genuine and thanked me for allowing him to dance with me.
Which is more than most do . . .

You never cease to amaze me. How do you find time to do these self-portraits and write this journal? Kudos!
Oh, yes, you left me hanging. I’m dying to know. Did the sweet and genuine 20 something get any?

Sam, my thoughts precisely !! giggle
DK, I’m not interested anymore in the really young ones……..I’ve decided to concentrate solely on the men nearer my age, and it’s working out so much for the better………the immaturity seems to be too hard to deal with in my old age. I wonder if you could take those dreamy, sensual pictures of me and make me look as inviting as you……….I’m getting out my tripod and giving it a try……but with no expectations of ever looking as great as you do !

Sam: I’ve always hated stories that do not have a clear ending! I don’t *want* to have to use my imagination or make-up my own mind or simply just not *know*. It’s the author’s *job* to spell it out for me!!!!! . . . Since I said that the young guy thanked me for the dance, doesn’t that pretty much spell-out that the story ends there? If not, then you’ll just have to make-up your own ending. Bwahahaahha!!!!
Cat: I wish you the very best of luck with your self-portrait efforts!! It’s really extremely easy, all you need is: former modeling experience, former photographic experience, years of computer training, natural artistic talent, advanced photo-editing skills, an overwhelming inability to contain your creativity, the patience of a saint combined with the body of a call girl, and hours and hours of free time. See? anybody can do this!

He is a better man than I. I would be too shy to approach you. I like to worpship you from afar.

Look at you, all firm and fabulous! I’m glad we are friends so I don’t have to hate you. heh. Seriously, friend, you’re just *lovely*! I’M gonna be lovely, ’cause I’m faithfully working out, see…so ONE of these days, I’ll back my camera up and include the goods. Right now I restrict photos to the taut, firm places only. So I have a lot of pictures of my eyeball.

Quite a different story, it’s nice to hear of decent folk in the world. As for age, I wold like to say 2 things…
First- I have no idea of your age, but enjoy the hell out of your pictures. Not just hott pictures, they reflect the personality I admire in your writing.
Second- I have a friend who dates women in their 20s, so I told him something I heard on the radio “The yng ones are like cookie dough, nice to eat once in a while but too much of it makes you sick”

JESUS JULIA! You are HAAWWWT! Seriously, you are a sexy, sexy woman inside and out. And hey, if you find a respectful “younger” man to date then go for it. It seems to be working for Demi…
P.S. When I pray at night I ask God to please let me look as good as you but I just don’t think it’s gonna happen. If only I could have your arse….grrrr!

Fabby: I red pulsating heart you!
Nuke: If you are reading regularly then you would definitely know how old I am … especially since I posted photos on my *birthday* back in July!!!! A little article entitled “Seven and Forty” …
Bee: “If only I could have your arse . . . I’ve heard *that* a few times!!!

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve tried to orchestrate a glammy photo-shoot like the ones you post, and I just can’t seem to get it right. I will one of these days…
One of these days…
