Older Women

My blogosphere buddy [livejournal.com profile] inamora laid out an interesting post today about women over 40. This is my exact age, having celebrated my 40th birthday this February in Moscow. I can hardly believe it because I still feel like a twenty year old in spirit. The post and comments are really interesting. I think next week I'll lay out a post about being a single, childless woman at 40. It seems inconceivable to many, especially Russian men, that a woman in this position can be happy and fulfilled.

I highly recommend this blogger. We're different in many ways - she's openly promiscuous and I'm a serial monogamist. The things we want from a man are in most ways opposite. However, she's very intelligent and an interesting writer. I like her much better than the prostitute blogger, or that horror miss_tramell who is always in TOP LJ. I don't understand the appeal of this blogger at all.

To me, age has always been merely a number. I've dated men much younger than me, and men my own age. But never an older man. The most important thing in a partner is finding true comfort, someone who accepts you as is and shares the same passions in life. Older women - we're not so bad! Trust me. ;)

Have a nice weekend!

Rather, aforementioned author graciously presents you with a good chance to watch one of the most distinctive facets of Russian mind in all its glory :) Oftentimes, there is no any need to be nice and friendly to gather popularity and admiration, therein lies a problem, which is not limited to the blogosphere, but has to do with long-established national tradition.

It's a pity, but this exists on a greater scale here on LJ. The downfall of anonymity and the Internet. A big breeding ground for fools.
