14. So rare it's flattering

May 2012

As a middle aged guy it is going to take alot more than a couple of ad's to get me anything more than slightly pleased.
I havn't had to live as a sex object day in and day out for years on end. So the change is somewhat refreshing. What I would find disturbing would be furtherance of the idea that my entire worth and desirability to a woman was based solely upon the size of my wallet. That is probably the closest I can relate to what a woman goes thru regarding being/looking sexy.
