These are the reasons I don’t want an older man…

Where we last left off, I did a blog on why I don’t want a younger man. Now I am going to give you reasons why I don’t want an older man.

I know what you are thinking, well, what in the blue hell does MzVirgo want? Well, a guy that is a few years older than me is cool. But a man that is old enough to be my father? Nope. For all I know, he probably knows either my mother or my father and I am not going to take that chance.

Before I give you my list, let me be clear. I am not shitting on older men. There are some fine looking older men out there. There are probably some older men who do have things in common with a younger woman and vice versa. But for some reason, I must weed out these old ass men who think that being with a younger woman gives them some type of status or resolve whatever issues they have in their lives.

So here are the reasons why I don’t want an older man. Again you don’t have to take my word for it. If you prefer an older man, fine, do you. But this is just me and my thoughts on the matter:

1. He probably has baggage. Yeah, he’s probably been married before, like 2 or 3 times over. Or he is in the process of getting a divorce. His kids are probably the same age as you, if not younger. The kids are not going to take too kindly to you and should you get married to him, they will not accept you as their stepmother. Worst of all, what if he is still married?

2. You are nothing more than a “trophy” to him. He is probably going to show you off to his friends and brag, “ha ha, I can get young hawt chicks”. You are just a boost to his ego. Plus trophies run neck and neck with cars and watches, these are things that are acquired and collected. Do you want to be treated like that? Must I quote R. Kelly’s old song, “You remind me of my jeep“?

3. He is not aesthetically appealing to you. He will probably have a receding hairline, some grey hairs, a bald spot, discolored and/or missing teeth. And he probably has a pouch. He has bunions, corns and hammertoes. Which means that he let himself go and doesn’t care about his appearance. But you are supposed to maintain your appearance, no matter what. Hmph.

4. He’s going to tell you what to do. Oh yeah. Better believe it. He’s going to sound more like your father than a boyfriend. He’s going to tell you that you need to work out, you need to eat more, you need to lose weight. He’ll probably tell you what to wear and how to act around his elitist friends. Meanwhile, he swears he looks like Denzel but looks more like this:

 

5. Aside from the aesthetics, God forbid if he has some physical ailments. Like a knee replacement, hip replacement, hemorrhoids. Then you might have to rub some Ben Gay on him or give him a bath. Sheeesh.

6. They want to feel young too. As mentioned in my last blog “The reasons why I don’t want a young guy”, men feel the need to compete and keep up just as much as women do. So they will start to dress young, go to the hip hop clubs and try to do the latest dances, like the Superman, knowing good and hell well that they will make an ass of themselves. He will probably go out and get an earring or a tattoo.

(True story, I had an older guy take me to Webster Hall, a club in New York. I notice that he was wearing a rather LOUD shirt. The designs looked like someone threw up on it. He admitted to me that he had borrowed his son’s shirt. Aww dayum. Not a good look.)

7. Sooner or later, Viagra or Cialis will be in his future. No explanation needed.

8. You will be looked at as a golddigger or a bimbo. Let’s say that you do get that older guy who is established. You are going to get those haters who are going to look at you as either a golddigger or a bimbo. You don’t even have time to prove that you are neither of those things because his friends or family will have already whispered in his ear about how skanky you look or how you wouldn’t fit in with his family. Their mind is made up, YOU are not a good look for him.

9. Down the line, he probably wants a prenup. Now, I’m not going to dispute whether or not a prenup is needed, that’s another story. But again, let’s say that you do get that established guy. He proposes. Yesss! But after you accept the proposal, he starts talking prenup. Hmmm, well what do you do now?

10. He will find someone younger looking and more attractive than you. I don’t care how big your breasts are (real or fake) or how big your butt is (again, real or fake), or if you have the best sex skills, he will find someone younger and more attractive. This has nothing to do with you. He justs feels that he has to prove to himself that he’s still got “it”. He’s probably going through a midlife crisis.

11.  He is going to be labeled a “Sugar Daddy” or “Captain Save a Hoe”. While you are not a hoe or a prostitute (I hope you’re not), he will be looked at as someone who pays your bills and buys you nice things. They think you are with him for finacial security and that you are giving him sex in exchange. I dare you to try to tell me that you and him have things in common. Go ahead. Because that will be the perception, no matter how much you justify why you are with him.

Stay tuned……..
