The debate rages on in 'Singular Subjects'

Published: Monday | June 15, 2009


As the debate about the 67-year-old woman continues, I cannot help but share my feelings on the matter. Our culture is such that while society accepts (for the most part) an older man with a younger woman (or girl), it frowns upon an older woman with a younger man. Why is this so? There are a number of men in their 50s and beyond who have no qualms about being involved with an 18- or 19-year-old.

Meeting the right man

I am 32-years-old and if I find a man who meets my particular needs (which of course include sex), we have a fulfilling relationship and grow to love each other, should it be a problem if he's 20 or 100 years old? What will I be considered as? What about him?

Should we think about how we will be viewed by society before we even get involved? Does age matter? Is it only a number when we want it to be?

You would be surprised at the number of men and women who are looking for something real and meaningful, yet they may never meet for any number of reasons. If nothing else, I hope that this medium will help this woman (who is not unlike many other women) to find what she is looking for ... wherever in the world that may be.

I know this won't put an end to the debate ... probably start a new one, but what the heck.
