In my book, For Men About Women, I compare the process of a woman growing from an unripened teenager to the mature beauty she finally becomes. In her teens, she is nothing more than a charcoal sketch with nothing to define her but the barest outlines. As her time with us passes, colors and shading are continually added to the canvas. By the time she reaches 60, we can finally marvel at the vision of her. Her life portrait is 98% complete. From now on, only the tiniest details will be added until her beauty is fully realized. That is what you, my friend, have to look forward to when you start dating the fabulous females that are 60+. The almost completed masterpiece.

When it all began 

Females entered your turbulent life when you were probably around nine or ten. You didn’t have a clue. Things didn’t get much easier in your teens because the girls were also in their teens and always a step or two ahead of you. From about 25 on, you felt you were a master regarding women, when in reality you were pretty much as clueless as you were at age ten. Sorry. 

Now here you are, all grown up. You have had your share, maybe more than your share, of male/female relationships, which probably included a marriage or two along your way. Now you’re unattached again. Strange sensation, isn’t it? Free to jump back into the Dating Game again. And scary.

How long has it been since you were faced with the harsh reality of having to find a woman to date? A week? A month? A year? Doesn’t matter. What does matter is that you take a moment, step back, take a good look around. All those 60+ women floating around aren’t the quiet, shy ladies you grew up with. Most of the unattached women in this age group have sprouted wings. Like you, they were probably married most of their lives and now find themselves able to enjoy a degree of freedom they never dreamed possible—and there you are, the current object of their attention.

The questions they have        

What are they looking for, these fabulous females? What do they want? What do they need? I hope it won’t shock you to hear that the answer to that last question quite often is, to get laid. For a perfect example of that type of woman, take a look at an episode of Two and a Half Men. Then take a look at the stunning woman who plays the mother of the two brothers on that terrific show. She dresses elegantly hot and makes no bones about wanting sex almost as much as her libidinous son, Charlie. I am suggesting you take a look at her because the very real possibility exists you may run into this desirable woman or someone very much like her.

“What are they looking for?” you ask. How about a good man with whom to spend the rest of their lives? Is that what you’re looking for, as well? A good woman with whom to spend the rest of your life?

“What do they want”? you persist. A man who will walk beside them, not three steps ahead. A man who will respect their opinion. A man who will make them a part of all household decisions, including financial.

I had a call this morning from a woman who had just gotten off the phone with a recently widowed friend. That lady’s thoughtless husband had not left a will! An incredible oversight considering the fact they had land with producing oil wells on it! I have no idea about what type of man you are, but I am counting on the likelihood that you do. If being in total control of everyone and everything around you is very important, then you are most likely going to be attracted to submissive women, who in turn are likely to be attracted to take-charge you. If on the other hand you see your life partner as someone with whom you want to share everything, you will have no problem dealing with an independent woman—a group that is rapidly growing.
