Older Women


As a boy, I was always attracted to older women. The truth is, so is just about every boy. Girls are cute and fun, and they're the ones you're allowed to connect with. But, women are where the action is, and every boy waits for the day he can connect with real honest-to-goodness woman.

I used to read a lot about comedian Lenny Bruce because he talked and wrote about older women, and his adult encounters with them. Lenny grew up in a world of older women in the family, his first "love affair" was with a woman ten years older, and as a young man he worked on stages where strippers were the main form of entertainment. Lenny Bruce knew a lot about older women, and they loved him.

He once wrote of an older woman who talked to him, not as a boy, but as the man he would one day become. And truly, putting all physical attraction aside, that's what a young person seeks from an older woman, recognition and acceptance.

I've always liked older women, and happily, I'm married to one. She wasn't always an older woman, when we met she was quite young. But today, she's an older woman, although she's several years younger than me. I've finally connected with an older woman, and she treats me like the man I will, one day, become.
