Old Geezer

There was a group of four elderly persons sitting next to me. I couldn't help but overhear certain parts of their conversation. There was a married couple and two sisters sitting together. I don't know what they were talking about, but one blurted out, "Well, all I know is that men like big boobs. He (pointing to her husband) is a boob man."

This happened after her husband hugged the waitress and the same lady said "Well, now he won't give me the time of day!" (They were all very funny and cute.)

That made me wonder. The cycle of men seem to be "Innocent Baby" --> "Troublesome Toddler" --> "Strapping Young Man" --> "Grown Man" --> "Dirty Greasy Grossness" --> "Harmless Old Man" (Obviously not a complete set and not applicable to every man.)

When does the a man stop being attractive and turn into a dirty greasy man who you don't want to even look at and then into a harmless old man? Is it when we decide that he is no longer a sexual threat and we think he'd probably break a hip if he tried anything?

I sat there watching the old man hug different women and keep telling "harmless jokes" with slight sexual innuendos. The news tells us that more and more senior citizens are having sex past their 70's. Maybe men are all dirty old men...just protected by the disguise of age.
