Attractive women

[Ozz]

Guys, I think you may have clicked on this topic a little too quickly…
And you ladies clicked on it, just to see what I am up to, no good would be the first guess.
Men at my age often wonder at what time in our lives that we became invisible to young women, It is hard to remember, as we have made up excuses for years, maybe she didn’t see me, maybe her boy friend was behind her, reasoning like that. It is too painful for us to just go with the facts; we look like their disgusting uncle, or gramps. They love gramps, but they know we are not gramps.
The rare times young, attractive women smile and give us attention touches our hearts, we feel invigorated, our pulses quicken, there is a stirring within us, until we find the real reason, is that they just want in front of us in the check out line.
We feel as young as they are, mainly because we have avoided the mirrors, and have been in denial for decades, reality, is a nasty business.
When driving, we occasionally drive around the block, to get a second… well, stare, at a beautiful woman. We know this is wrong, impolite, and shows all, the fool we have become. We don’t care.
The trade off is worth it.
Much like the dog chasing the car, we would be so confused and out of our element, we would be rendered useless if the pretty thing took pity on us.
The upcoming Spring Break here on the Island is like a trip to Disneyland, a voyeur’s paradise for us men.
Older men have pride, self respect, some semblance of manners, even at our age. We all pray we can come through the event with a small amount of dignity left.
I love to watch the athletic volleyball players on the beach, racing back and forth in the sand, setting up, spiking, hi fiving their team members, I sit there drinking my beer, actually considering a challenge to the winning team. Then I reflect on my friend Bob, who broke his hip, washing his RV.
Let me tell you folks, getting old, is no walk in the park.

Ozz you are a writer too?? LOL, but you hit the nail on the head! uhmmm so thats why a young waitress smiles at me sooo...well you know, because I am still attractive? (or was I ever?) LOL, or maybe to get a bigger "tip" which usually works!

In my youth, I never went to bed with a ugly woman but I did wake up with some.g

Ozz,
To coin 60's slang, Right On! As far as the old thing, it's better than the alternative!!!!!!!!!

[exav8tr]

As usual Jim, you hit the nail right square on the head!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am not old, I am just aged. Sort of like a fine wine that the cork has been left off of to long, and now I smell like vinegar.

Well, that's what all the cologne is for. Keeps the smell down and the bugs away.

Good article Jim. Oh so true.

Aha, now I understand why you like to winter at South Padre Island! What surprises me is that Sue hasn't figured it out yet...

[Dustytuu]

Ozz your writings are entertaining as usual.

I couldnt help comparing my present circumstances to a line in Ozz's writings. We are stuck at home this year because a Doctor in training at my Doctors and did not know me but was assigned to write a 6 month prescription for my bood pressure pills.. She was a gorgeous young lady and as Ozz said...anyway...she starts taking my BP and asks me two questions while doing so....How much alcohol do you drink??(while still pumping.) and Hows your sex life..? just as she finishes pumping the bladder......Oh My! she says.. your blood pressure is way up there.. We will have to change your meds...........I am smart enough to know the question was not a propostion,,,,,,but my heart obviously didnt....:{

[Ozz]

Thanks for the nice words.
Steve, she points them out if I miss them. She knows I am harmless...
Good story Don, they should keep those young good looking nurses away from us, when doing the blood pressure checks!

[Waynem]

Ozz,
Just remember one thing. I'm sure you took the same vows as I did, or close to them.

I promised to Love, Honor, and Cherish. I never said a darn thing about going blind.

[Ozz]

True, true...
And ladies, not to worry, a writer puts pen to paper on a murder, or spy novel, does not make him a practitioner.

[sreigle]

Nice try, Jim.

Now I feel good when a lady behind DUNKEN DONUTS says:

"What will ya have HONEY"

IN THE OLD DAYS [YOUNGER] I'd have said something other than

Large black please.

OZZ, some of us are anxiously looking forward to your '08 spring break report.

[Ozz]

Ha! I caught some heat for the last one... still in trouble with some of the ladies.
But........
I can see an educational seminar on the value of a thick grease applied to the left handed air hook.
Too boring for the ladies, so they should pass on the thread.

[Waynem]

Oh! So you are going to hot oil the spring breakers? Ok!

[Ozz]

Oh no!......... You will get me in trouble.

I found this on a menue in a bar a while back. It kind of goes with getting older and wise..........

Men's Quote of the Month:Women are like a fine wine.
They all start out fresh, fruity and intoxicating to the mind and then turn full-bodied with age until they go all sour and vinegary and give you a headache.
Women's Quote of the Month:
Men are like a fine wine.
They all start out as grapes, and it is our job to stomp on them and keep them in the dark until they mature into something which you'd like to have dinner with.
