I was talking (writing Friendster messages) to
Anthrochica about
J.Rock trying to set me up with some cute 30 year old friend of hers (who apparently likes 'younger dudes') while I was in New York. Anthrochica said, "...30 years old is way too old for you."
I totally disagree. I don't think that age barriers should exist in such situations, except of course when the age difference can be dubbed 'Icky'. 'Icky' is only when one of the parties involved is either XTreemLy Young or XTreemLy Old. All these terms sound very subjective, but I think one will find that everyone (everyone worth listening to, anyway) feels the same about which age differences are Icky. Like Anna Nicole Smith and J. Howard Marshall. That shit is Icky. But me* with a 30 year old is like, cinematically romantic or something. I don't know what the age difference was in Y Tu Mama Tambien, because IMDB describes it simply as 'two teenage boys and an attractive older woman embark on a road trip [across Mexico]' but I assume it was somewhere in the 10-15 year range. A movie portraying the social and sexual escapades of Jerry Lee Lewis and his 13 year old cousin/spouse as they travel across an Hispanic country would be less a romantic piece of film art and more a gut-wrenching fetish "flick" watched in basements by sweaty people with lots of back hair. Or intrigued 17 year olds in suburban Texas, whateva. My point: sexy 25-30 year old women should flock to me in, well, flocks. I mean doesn't it kind of push your smart/sexy association button just knowing that I felt so strongly about this subject that I took the time to type out this lengthy quasi-essay? Yes, it kind of does.
