Besides, she has retained her uncomplicated nature, her model's figure and a smile with greater wattage than most halogen lamps. Two years ago, at age 59, I saw a 20-something try to hit on her, not realizing she was old enough to be his grandmother. She just radiates like that. How would I devise a pickup line for someone else after 39 years together with a woman like that? I mean, I know how to say "Hi" as well as the next man, but what comes after that? I would need a manual.

37. I never made it to the dating meat market
Sat Apr 20, 2013, 06:00 PM
Apr 2013

I had my late high school-early college love, lost her to the "bigger better deal" while in college, and then met my present partner within two months of having graduated from college. I was 22, as was she. Our individual assessments of a future life together were, needless to say, VERY different. I was thinking, "this is the kind of woman I could spend the rest of my life with." She was thinking (I found out later), "he was nice, but he's from America, a far-off continent I'll probably never see."

I was persistent, came to Germany a few times, and she finally visited America ("nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there&quot . I got recruited for my outfit, asked to be sent overseas as often as could be justified. We had a commuting thing for quite a while, but it lasted. All because a mutual acquaintance in a smoky West Berlin folk music club once said, "Hey, you should meet my girlfriend E......." that was on July 25th, 1974. I took one look and thought, "oh, yes, indeed I should!"

So, I never made it to the dating meat market. From what I hear, I would have been grilled, cut to pieces, chewed up and spit out a few dozen times by now, so I don't think I have missed much.

Not that there isn't something to be said for the female body. But writer Harlan Ellison, who once edited a men's magazine (yes, one of those magazines) once said that after being surfeited with all that skin, one starts to look for more exotic qualities, such as the ability to make you laugh, or carry on a stimulating conversation.

That's for sure.

Physical beauty may supply the original attraction, but if there is not something more, it fades quickly.

I have always preferred men who could make me laugh, who treated me as an equal and who could carry on a conversation about something other than himself or me.

If I like and respect a man, he becomes Brad Pitt in my eyes.... I think that is true of most of us, but too many don't realize it.

I've read a lot of his writing, and I've even met and had dinner with him. He's a curmudgeon, and as abrasive as industrial-grade sandpaper.

But he is ferociously intelligent, and a passionate liberal activist.

And a spellbinding storyteller.

Me? I'm...well...a passionate liberal activist...

Don't sell yourself short. You have nothing to hide!

Spell binding storytelling can compensate for an abrasive personality as can ferocious intelligence. I'll bet there are many who have seen a softer side of him.

It's been said that one can determine a person's character by how he treats service people.

I had dinner with Ellison and some members of his literary entourage. As much as I admire him, I was worried that as bad-tempered and abrasive as he could be, he might be difficult with the staff.

Wow, was I wrong! He couldn't have been more charming or gracious to our waiter. It was heartwarming to witness. The young man was Hispanic, and Ellison asked him: "Where are you from?"

"Mexico City, sir."

"Oh, I love Mexico City! Wonderful place!" and on like that. Devastating charmer.

That's going in my memoirs someday...

by how he treats service people.

Absolutely! It is one of the first things I notice and I will not tolerate my companion being abusive. There is something extremely petty and unattractive about people who throw their weight around by abusing service people. Sadly, it happens all too often...the world is full of fools and cowardly bullies.

Memoirs! How intriguing!

My experiences at the homeless clinic have changed that. I want to write a book that will transform peoples' perceptions of the homeless. And make them start thinking of them as 'people', and not just 'homeless.'

BTW, I'm intrigued by your user name. There was a Pharaoh of the Third Dynasty named Sekhmet, or Sekhemket. There was also a famous Egyptian belly-dancer from the 1930's and 40's named Sekhmet. Is your name a reference to either?

would be one well worth reading!

Sekhmet is one of the oldest Egyptian deities. Daughter of Ra...she sprang from his head, and is a sun goddess. She is said to have created the desert.

Sekhmet was represented by the searing heat of the mid-day sun (in this aspect she was sometimes called "Nesert", the flame) and was a terrifying goddess. However, for her friends she could avert plague and cure disease. She was the patron of Physicians, and Healers and her priests became known as skilled doctors. As a result, the fearsome deity sometimes called the "lady of terror" was also known as "lady of life". Sekhmet was mentioned a number of times in the spells of The Book of the Dead as both a creative and destructive force, but above all, she is the protector of Ma'at (balance or justice) named "The One Who Loves Ma'at and Who Detests Evil".


There are so many stories about the ancient gods and goddesses....I always found hers very appealing. She is frequently referred to as the 'Protector of the Innocents.'

Told me she didn't "trust any man who wasn't staring at (her) t*ts...because you know they wanna. They're just being polite which is dishonest."

The funny part is that I really didn't want to. She was beyond unattractive, they were grotesquely large and she had a bracingly-aggressive personality prone to being an extreme boor and yet still sexually-awkward like she was completely oblivious to social mores and appropriate behavior. #blinddatingnightmares

This was before I discovered the "escape phone call" so I was stuck with this woman for close to an hour really just wanting to not be rude and to escape with my life. Every hint that I wasn't interested or we were incompatible was rebuffed. With the aggressiveness of an attack dog. On PCP.

We figured it was sorta crass to do that, and wasn't likely to win us any points with her anyways. She's stuck in a situation where she has to grin and bear an awful lot. If she's tired and her feet hurt, she still has to try and smile. The heaviest flirtation we allowed ourselves in that situation was to smile back.

Smile at her, and check her out, up and down. Give a slight nod when she acknowledges your appreciation.

On two occasions I can recall, I blurted out an awkward but sincere apology for staring too much. I thought it would begin and end with that, but I was surprised, on the first occasion, to find myself waking up the next morning with the woman - who looked like (and in fact was) a professional model.

The second woman to whom I so clumsily introduced myself eventually consented to marry me, and has shared my life for twenty-five years. Her beauty, both inner and outer, far surpasses the beauty of any model.
