John would post on Craigs List. He would propose go to a steak house for dinner. He got lots of responses and followed up on every one.
He met the girls at the steak house and they were shocked to see that he was 72 years old. He would argue that they were there already and they might as well have a steak. They always gave in.
Over dinner John was polite and interested in their story. Some were ugly, some were pretty and everything in between. For the pretty ones, John would order a couple of extra dinners to go for them and their kids.
John usually got a thank you call the next morning. These girls were desperate. The life of a single mom is often not an easy one. Work, kids, keeping house. Then there was the laundry, the car maintenance and so on.
The typical mom is exhausted, running on empty and discouraged. They do not often date. Having the kids often results in a loose pussy. Single guys catch on to this. And they single moms get saggy.
It becomes a world of only talking to children and constantly working and keeping house. Not a lot of fun.
Then there is the age factor. They are getting older. Every year they become less attractive. Less desirable. Fewer guys even ask. Finally it becomes a battle for survival. Holding their breath for the next car repair. The next broken appliance. Their phone soon becomes 5 years old, they have out grown the dresses. The last concert was 10 years ago. McDonalds is the norm. They do not work out and feel tired, bloated and stressed.
Then John comes along. Something different. Something fun. The trick is to not let her friends see her with a 72 year old man. But she can meet him at the restaurant. Its all workable.
Of course there are the moments in the middle of the night when she questions what is becoming of her. Dating an old geezer. But then he calls and wants to meet tonight for a steak. And she says yes. Its a free dinner, right.
And then there are the gift cards for Walmart and he picks up the cell bill. Well, actually he goes by and puts $200 on her account. Life is more doable.
And after a while, she just naturally warms up to him and his old skin and wrinkles.
Then it happens, she slips and calls him honey. She turns beet red and he kindly ignores it.
Then comes the trip to Nordstroms. A pretty dress and then he takes her to the Caddy Club banquet. The age difference is obvious but she will never see these people ever again.
