Do mature women appeal?

Do you also hate the t-shirts with all the oriental symbols and shit and know only two drinks: beer and vodka and Red Bull?

 

This is actually an age-old argument, no pun intended. Consider Benjamin Franklin's letter to a friend in 1745 on the merits of older women:

I especially enjoy No. 5. Ben was spot-on:

"5. Because in every Animal that walks upright, the Deficiency of the Fluids that fill the Muscles appears first in the highest Part: The Face first grows lank and wrinkled; then the Neck; then the Breast and Arms; the lower Parts continuing to the last as plump as ever: So that covering all above with a Basket, and regarding only what is below the Girdle, it is impossible of two Women to know an old from a young one. And as in the dark all Cats are grey, the Pleasure of corporal Enjoyment with an old Woman is at least equal, and frequently superior, every Knack being by Practice capable of Improvement."

 

All true, but not going down without a fight.

 

Of course, Ben's wife, Deborah, was barely a six.

 

If not a fight, it usually takes some serious begging.

 

Chances would be better with a younger lady there. Post-Lewinsky and all that.

 

This thread is a great argument for ad blockers, considering I'm now getting banners filled with bottle blondes vying to be the next AARP centerfold.

 

Let's be honest. A more pertinent question for SportsJournalists.com is do mature men appeal.

 

Ahem...

Oh, wait. You mean all that and more and interested in younger men. Never mind. I have no idea where you find women like that.

 

Even if we do, I prefer women my own age.

 

My mother makes the best brisket!

 

I don't think any man is mature.

And Amy, what Abe meant is that for him, a woman 25 years older would be 110.
