You're as young as the woman you feel

[robinturner]

Loyal readers may remember my soul-searching about being attracted to women many years my junior. Now I have no qualms whatsoever. I've just seen on Turkish television a villager who is 114 years old, together with his twelve-year-old daughter. The girl's mother is thirty-five. That makes a 79-year age difference. And the old goat is considering acquiring another wife! "What can I do?" he says, "the ladies keep chasing after me."

That is not justice. So what if at age 16, girls are more attractive? That's a much shorter and more fleeting window of opportunity. Also, at age 16 girls may be more attractive, but most aren't yet prepared to enjoy the perks. A few years of twittery beauty is no deal compared to a few decades of experienced distinguished good looks.

Ick, sixteen-year-olds. Anyone can manage enthusiasm.

Worth noting: women are seen as more attractive at an age when men are at their sexual peak, and men are seen as more attractive at an age when women are at their sexual peak.

OK, maybe it's not justice, just irony.
