WOMEN HAVE EXPIRY DATE IN THE DATING WORLD??

Hola Mi Bloggers & Readers!
Happy new year and welcome to 2011! I apologize for my absence, its been a busy holiday.. But i'm back and i'm here to stay. Before i go onto the above topic, let me first of all wish us all the very best that life has to offer. We have only God to thank for a new year and i'm sure He'll see us through to the very end gracefully. Amen.


So today's topic of discussion was inspired by a dear friend of mine and faithful follower of my blog, who thought to share her conversational experiences with "guys" on older women and dating! ....Throat clearing....hmm.... Apparently some 'age grade' of guys are of the opinion that women have expiry date in the dating world! Wonders shall never cease to amaze me when i hear the things 'guys' say concerning 'older women'. 
Quote from her goes as follows... "I've had discussions with some guys in the 28-30 age bracket  over the past few weeks and there seems to be a resounding consensus from these men that dating/marrying over 25's is "undesirable" for a multitude of reasons-some of which are......take a deep breath......we're stuck in our ways cause we are older, we're not as respectful, we're just plain ol old!" 
The guys in question went onto say their ideal age is 23 and one almost didn't marry his current wife because she 'was 27'.. The highlight of the conversation for my friend though was when one guy said to her "don't worry sha, you still have 2 more years to go...it's when you hit 28 that you know say your own don finish!"....For the benefit of my non-African readers i'll translate the last statement to English which simply means "don't worry about it as you still have 2 more years to go....its only when you turn 28 that you'll know you're finished!"


In other words, they are inferring that women expire on the dating scene! Girls, can you believe that??  I'm almost speechless! My train of thoughts on issues of life normally flows freely but in this case................ i don't know........ hmm..... it's not funny!


Fact: Women are more mature intellectually than guys their same age
Fact: Between 18 and 22 i couldn't imagine dating a guy my age or even 2 years older, he wasn't old enough! 
Fact: I'm 27, my views on "age dating" have changed... (and not because i'm still single)
Fact: Now i know Love has got absolutely nothing to do with age (look at Ashton and Demi)
Fact: Guys age faster than women so its to our detriment if we marry a guy close range in age (sorry guys but its true)
Fact: Some men are intimidated by seemingly 'successful and content women"
Fact: Its not the norm for a girl to propose to a guy, so what's a girl to do if she turns 28 and is still single?! Celebrate herself as best she can! U bet.. 


The saying goes that 'beer is made by men, but wine by God'- Martin Luther. Older women are like wine, fermented, refined and fortified in the sands of time and the phases of life created by God..... We need not be younger to be fulfilled or content.. The saying also goes that "fish, to taste good, must swim three times: in water, in butter and in wine"- polish proverb. Older women are "priceless fishes"....hard to catch and sweet to keep, after having swam in old wine!
Its unfortunate that men don't smell or see good wine when its right in front of them.. They prefer to reach for beer, deceived by its volume only to desire more beer afterwards, whereas a glass or two of wine does the trick!


To all my single ladies, fret not nor fear your not for your knight in shining armor or coat of many colors made from rags, who knows, appreciates and celebrates your value, measured by the stories in your eyes, will come one day and when he does, you'll be glad you waited!


To the guys that think women expire, WISE up!


Till i write again...


Tuyo por siempre,
