Ageless Mentioned in Online Article

Where the Boys Are (http://www.newyorkmetro.com/nymetro/nightlife/features/6267/)

I haven't had a chance to read it all, and not too thrilled with the title, but Agelesslove was given a brief mention in this article. Thought I'd post it for your reading/commentary.

That was written in 2002. I wonder if it were written today, two years later, if it would be titled differently.

But, overall, it sends a good message that it is possible for society to overcome past social stigma about the OW/YM relationships, even if the article was written about celebrities.

Thanks for sharing that Gen!

Hang on...I'm reading it now....

Ok, page one statements that bother me so far:
1) New York women in particular are openly dipping into lower age brackets in numbers that would have been unimaginable in the past.
2) And thanks to the ruling gym and fitness craze (not to mention Botox and plastic surgery), they hardly look their age anyway.

Page one staments I like:
1) "Women have to stop thinking guys under 35 are not an option"

I agree that it's very vain to think that love is only available for those who look young and beautiful.

We had enough of this kind of thing when we were young and some of us didn't have the body model of that time, why should we be submitted to that now that we know better?

A person has to be beautiful for her lover, that's all that matters. If beauty for their lover is red hair, or short stature, or a soft body, this we don't know! It's very very dangerous to generalize things and assume that women are dating younger men because they look younger themselves... I'm convinced the reason is not there at all!

I think society has become more liberal in all fields, same gender love, age gap love, interracial love. It's not because suddenly Asians thought Caucasians were cuter, or because Women started finding Women more beautiful.

They were just allowed to love each other! :)

I only read the first third or so of the article, but was (as others here were) turned off by the beauty characterizations . .

It's only OK for older women who are gorgeous, in great shape, and trying to pass for younger/hipper to date younger men?

I think I look good for my age and people often think I'm younger than my now 46, but I'm a suburban mom - leggings, sweatshirts, a few grey hairs, the start of some wrinkles, the whole deal.

I think social acceptance is fine, but I'm not doing this to be part of a trend. YM is also of South Asian descent, which is also currently trendy - - so do I want people thinking I'm dating him to be hip (a square term these days) or because he's a wonderful person whom I connect with on all sorts of levels??

I'm involved with a wonderful man - I'm not buying the latest fashion accessory!
