Playboys
I think perhaps I should have named my blog “chanceventings”. Lately it would be much more appropriate. Excuse me while I vent a bit… again. 
In my last post, Failure to Launch, I vented my frustration with guys these days. I will do so again, as I continue to be frustrated.
My now 21-year-old daughter is being asked out on dates with OLD guys. I’m talking 15 years older. TOO OLD! Let’s just say they’re exactly between my daughter and I in age. RIDICULOUS!
Here’s what I see happening.
They live the playboy life all through their twenties, enjoying their freedom from commitment of any sort, as they avoid girlfriends, mortgage payments, and spend all their time and money entertaining themselves.
Then one day they wake up and find themselves in their mid-thirties, and for some reason decide it’s time to find someone to settle down with.
Here’s the problem: There are two categories of girls left to choose from; the (too) young ones, and the has-beens (those who are divorced, have kids, or aren’t as attractive as they want).
So, naturally, they go for the young ones. Seems like easy prey, right? Not necessarily. I mean, who wants to take care of an old man (who isn’t your father), when you still have lots of energy to enjoy life? Smart girls think this through.
AND
It’s just not OK with we parents to give our young and beautiful girls to someone who is that much older!
Hmmmm. Maybe guys should think this one through, while/IF they still have the chance.
