A few years back I thought as I got older nothing would shock me...well, after my conversation yesterday I know I can still be shocked and completely turned off .
I'm not Ms. Manners by a long shot. I'm very honest--sometimes too honest, but I do have a filter that helps me NOT tell people what they DON'T need to know. And I thought that everyone as they get older would do this...oh, not true. I'm amazed at how people of this "age" act.
For example yesterday I was in the grocery store and ran into a man I know. He's single, 65ish, balding, fat and could use a good haircut, plus (and if you are of the weak stomach variety don't read next description) an extreme nose hair trim.
We chatted for a few moments about the grapefruit we were standing in front of then he told me he is now dating.
I smiled and without thinking asked him if he were dating anyone I knew.
Eh...wrong question if I didn't want to be grossed out. This is how the rest of the conversation went:
Him: "No, you wouldn't know the girls. I date business girls. I tried dating women my age but they are fat and old."
The real me's silent reaction: WTF! You're fat and old, too, Mr. Needs a Haircut In Your Nose Man! Good god almighty! And after a certain age what in the hell do looks have to do with it, anyway?
The nice, out of touch me said: "Oh, the women you date are still working. That's good. You'll always have something to talk about."
Him: "Yeah." Weird look.
Out of touch me: "Where did you meet your date? At a conference?" (I should have left this alone, but I was still screaming silently "You aren't all that either, baby.")
Him: "Ha-Ha"
Me: "Dating Service?"
Him: "No, I usually meet these women at a hotel."
Me: Blank stare, realization, blink. "Oh!"
He continued on about how he liked to date "business" girls because they were easier and he didn't have to take them to a movie and dinner... oh, shut the front door, FGS!
Okay, this was way to much info. I will never get the picture of him and his "business" girls out of my mind. YuuuuuuuccccccccK! Nose hair and all.
Me interrupting him with my hand held out like a stop sign:
"I really need to go get some more bologna! See ya."

Oh my goodness! Well, who else would date him with his nose hairs? What's so weird is that he would just discuss it casually with someone he ran into at the grocery store. What on earth did he expect to come from that discussion?
Chris, glad I could give you a laugh. It is rather funny. Janet, I figure I was his "Father Confessor" for the day!

OMG! Seriously! I LOVE it when overweight, hairy men make comments about women and there looks! It only makes sense that he has to date "business women"!
Found you through SITS.

I think I've met this man! :-) So funny!
Jenny
Obviously Mr. Hairy Nose needs a business woman because no other female will have anything to with him. She probably charges him a higher rate too! Just the thought makes me gag yet I'm still laughing.
Charlie
I think Charlie hit the nail on the head. No other woman will date him and he probably got told by some old gal to clean up his act and she might consider it. So, hurt and angry, he went after what he thinks he really wants and tells himself that it's the women his age that turn him off. He'll die lonely and sad and probably with STDs. I started to say VD, but that just show's MY age! HA HA
