This guy’s journal entry popped up on my homescreen today and I just wanted to split open a bag of Werther’s Originals and sit with him for a spell… On a front porch… With a piece of straw in my mouth.
Fuh reelz.
I Email Many People Who Stalk Me, But…
NEVER ANSWER BACK, FOR WHATEVER REASON.
Does it bother me when they don’t?
Nah…not really. I figure they have their reasons.
Several may stop back and take a second look at me.
Then spot my age. 84. That’s enough to scare off, the most horny of the lot. Even though all of my notes to them are complimentary. A few I kid about something they wrote in their journal or post.
Occasionally I can be a bit earthy. It’s just part of my makeup and my life experiences. Nothing dirty. I don’t hit on them either. Sharing a cup of coffee is my worst approach.
My guess is that many of our younger woman just feel uncomfortable being around an “ancient” like me. It’s our fascination of “forever being young.” Youth does have its advantages, let me tell you. Treasure it! It’s so fleeting!
Plus, for many, it’s highly unthinkable that a man my age can up and about; still have his brain pretty much intact, and for many years taken care of not only himself but two handicapped loved ones, as well.
Besides as my age has increased and as my hair has flown the coop, my skin has also gotten thicker, so I can laugh off most of these supposed rejects.
How many times have I heard “those creepy old men, old enough to be my father, even my grandfather.”
I still cherish the many close friends I have made here of all ages and I believe many of them feel the same warmth for me.
So don’t worry if you suddenly hear from me. And feel strange about returning my message or just offering thanks. I will understand and cross my heart never to raise the subject in a Post.
Remember, you never grow too old to warm to the comfort of freely offered affection at any level. I am Amassa.
*high five* Grampa! Dude has a great attitude… I wish him tons of luck, though I would guess he’s not really looking for a mate, so much as he’s passing the time by.
Kudos to him for not giving up on life, man. I hope at 83 that I’m still feeling like I’ve got something that the world wants!
