| A TASTE FOR MELODRAMA |
I've noticed that the men that seem to me the most fascinating have a few characteristics in common.
They are definitely tall, dark and handsome, besides which, they have pithy witticisms always at the ready. So far, it's pretty normal. It's the next part that's incomprehensible. Firstly, they're all old, being in their mid forties, which is thrice my age. They usually also have the air of a sorrowfully tragic past, or present, well concealed, which makes you wonder how you knew it in the first place. Dramatic. Let me not forget, they're also usually pretty well off in the world, though apparently, they never appear to work.
Then come the women I admire.
They, too, are old and wise. Unlike the men, they have a steely glint in their eyes, that nevertheless twinkle. They have preferably broken many stereotypes and succeeded against all odds. They are completely unconventional, but popular notwithstanding. Usually, they are die-hard feminists, of which their lives are living examples. And of course, they have an aura of mystery of a painful past, but unlike the men, they have shaped their present conditions according to their wishes.
Guess you're wondering if there's anybody that fits either portrait. Well, I know two men and three women who do, to varying degrees.

Why thank you... though it's more of an occupational disese than a genetic disorder...
And allow me to return the compliment... so very many opinions... and yes, written well... personally, I'd give three and a half thumbs-up to the one on sequels... truer words were only spoken in Forrest Gump...
Thanx for visiting...

Pithy is such a wonderful word.
-
and the problem with all the perfect older men is that they're cynical, sardonic, and always found in georgette heyer books. at least for me.
i like your blog.

and who is this ray of sunshine who calls him(her)self anonymous? I think this is a fun blog.
-
it isnt really that great an observation.
-
Mid forties, old? Well I suppose in the eyes of an ankle biter, even 24 is old. What is it draws you to these broken hearted, alcoholic, men of independent means. The female need to mother and heal? I have let you down, sorry, life upside down, etc. Booze and women y'know. But I'll get around to it.
-
And anonymous should at the very least proof read and cut the text message mangling of English before he/she comments, don't you think?
-

hey!! i know this pperson who's sending you crap messages on your blog.. guess who?? he he he !!!!

Why do I get the sudden feel that so do I...
I take the opportunity to say how much I appreciate simplified english, or rather any language. Complicating it with abrupt spurts of incomprehensible vocabulary quite defies the purpose of communicating in the first place.
As for the article- and yet you dont like GH?! You are in two minds. And I say that as a mental glitch.
And yes to all else, but mid-forties... No, maybe not that much. Mature, yes, but late twenties does just fine. After all, the sad affair would have induced enough cinicism.
