I hate to admit it but I am an ageist. But not in the
traditional sense.
In my life I have generally stuck with my personal 5 up - 5 down rule with age (with the exception of my longest relationship were there was a 7 year age gap) but since all of my friends tossed that idea out the window I though why not? A sexy dish of 27, sure, I will take it to go.
As it turns out my order was sickeningly undercooked. The rawness of it left me feeling nauseous, soured inside. Because in reality most 20 something boys are a mess.
I know there
is a lot to be said for whom we attract. That if we are emotionally
unhealthy then we will draw the like to us. That being said, it is hard
to see that creeping up on you. What is much easier seems to be walking
away from it. As a 20 year old I would have worked really hard to
"fix" that dish; added some salt, maybe a little butter to soften
it up...in my 40's I just don't have any desire to cook anymore.
Are the 30, 40, 50, 60 years olds any better? Incrementally. But lately it all seems so exhausting and pointless. I don't want a partner, I don't want to babysit and I don't want to be in second place. I simply want to have some fun. It shouldn't be so difficult.
