"The worst indignity about getting old is having young women come up to me on the street asking for directions, when what they really want is directions."

..when they try to help you cross the road or ask to walk with you so they'll feel safe, then you really know you're past it!

Spoken like a true "man" NOI: "The charms of a passing woman are usually in direct relation to the speed of her passing."
- Marcel Proust -

And,

"Never try to impress a woman, because if you do she'll expect you to keep up the standards for the rest of your life."
- W.C. Fileds -

We do have high standards, eh, gals??:-)

That was probably true for Proust!

Good ol' Wally Fileds - I didn't know he was well-know in the USA too?

I have to wonder...W.C. Fields' erstwhile partner, Mae West had the honor of having a personal flotation device named in homage to her most prominent feature(s). Are they called "Mae Wests" by the English Navy as well?

I tend to march to a different drummer. The conclusion I come to after reading Berts blue clicky thing, is, when a woman feels fertile she prefers manly men, but the rest of the time she wants to hang around with women (feminized men) ;-) **GRIN**
