1. I had never even thought about the issue in #3 - very interesting!

The author certainly makes a great point about Carmyn Manheim & Brad Pitt - although Pitt wouldn't be my first choice as leading man for anything, but I get her drift.

Not sure about this comment in #5: To put it bluntly, people still want to fuck a 60-year-old man, but not a 60-year-old woman.

While I think there is some truth to this comment, when you get to age 70, no one but other 70 & 70+ year old's want to fuck them. Men get a few more years being thought of as sexual beings than women, but eventually in this youth obsessed culture, you become invisible to the younger crowd, no matter how great you take care of yourself. Unless you're loaded . . . that's a whole other thing.
