Men

I swear - when men younger than me (I'm talking mid to late 20s) try and chat me up online, I feel like a goddamned grandmother to them. I have very little patience, alas, when I get in that mood. And they usually end up learning pretty quickly.

I'll tell you why I have ALWAYS loved dealing with older men :

- they're capable of keeping their mind on multiple things.
- multuple things that may not necessarily pertain to sex
- they can actually hold a decent conversation
- I don't have to explain myself repeatedly
- we can actually sit down and talk about business or industry trends
- they're normally fantastic with manners and civility

More importantly, they've experienced life and women! No "training". No having to explain why women are "like that". If you disappear to the loo for half an hour, no questions will be asked. Strange female habits are overlooked because they've seen worse.

And it is no wonder that the MasterChief is older than I am. Substantially older. I've always felt like I was born 20 years too late. I used to hang on to Nanny's every word when she told stories of her and Granpop when he was alive.


I'm very lucky to have the MasterChief.
