Hot Older Ladies More Attractive During Recessions

She ruled.According to Experts, the recently minted members of America’s middle class — the ones who got ARMs on their three-bedroom ranches in the exurbs and took out $600 a month car loans on their Ford Explorers and used credit cards to pay for their Starbucks Gargantua-chinos every morning — will now be sad hobos along with the rest of us. They will be the “former middle class.” But one traditionally neglected and sorely undervalued population should do quite well in the tough times ahead: sexy ladies of a certain age.

Recessions breed pessimism. That’s why birthrates tend to drop and suicide rates tend to rise. That’s why hemlines go down. Tamar Lewin of The New York Times reported on studies that show that the women selected to be Playboy Playmates of the Year tend to look more mature during recessions — older, heavier, more reassuring — though I have not verified this personally.

Perhaps this explains why half of the nation is still starbursting its shorts over Sarah Palin while the other half furiously defends her right to dress like slovenly trash while sitting poolside at exclusive resort hotels. Everyone loves Sarah Palin because she is the “reassuring” sex goddess of the New Depression.

2. So, this'll apply to you in 20 years or so
But, by then, the paradigm will have shifted. :(

4. Two things:
1) you are not "old"
2) you have garnered the attention of all the eligible men on DU and I am jealous as hell.
3) Oh shut up. :P :hug: (that hug is halfhearted. I hope you understand.) :D

27. so, you'll need to compare them to the next Playmate
and if she looks like a grad student/mid 20s, then you'll have your answer!

29. Sarah Palin is neither matronly nor sexually enticing.
Although as a DUer posited, how long will it be before she appears in Playboy?

43. Hot older ladies are more attractive.
No need for a qualifier.

And 'older' is only a relative term anyway. :)

44. Finally. My time has come. And all it took was a few milion lay-offs
and a bank failure or two. A small price to pay.
