Matchmaking for Women

The Millionaire Matchmaker provides a reality bite that women over 40 should consider. The show and the business works on a sound business model - millionaires who are too busy to find wives and girlfriends use the service to find the perfect girl and they pay the agency a certain commission for the effort. It works to a certain extent, because the proprietor, though in many ways aware and accepting of men's tendencies, tries to find a match in the traditional way, and tries to focus or refocus men with ADD's to the intangibles in women - that of companionship, intelligence and wit, experience. Secondary to looks and youth. The latter, of course, wins at the end of the day. Perhaps, by dating women half their age, the process of osmosis will work, and they would get younger by a decade.

Several isms come to mind. Recall - Nigel, a multi-millionaire with a string of hospitals in UK who once dated a close friend, said let's be honest and admit that love enters through the eyes. And there was my German friend who came up to scratch because he was a tush man and he liked mine, thank you. Men will always be focused on the physical, because that is the nature of the beast. And youth - being a major component of beauty, will continue to fascinate them and their dongs, no matter how cognizant they are of the need for some conversation, that hello, of course, a twenty year old vixen cannot possibly have.

How shallow were you when you were 20? I had 4 years of philosophy by the time I was that age but definitely, my attention was riveted to the hunk in the university basketball team and to the cute nerdy guy in my English class. Who gave a shit about Feuerbach and Hegel? And what the hell did I know about the 5 S's of wine appreciation? I was swilling Red Horse beer on a budget. So let's be more forgiving of the girls we were once, and instead reverse the entire dating process.

Inasmuch as the entire male population is morphing itself and cultivating its feminine side, resulting into the emergence of metrosexuals, women should be meeting them halfway and should be taking on male traits - being a lipstick lesbian can be a choice but there's still the female version of the metro.

Which means that for a woman of a certain age, she should as well be entering the dating and matchmaking game as the businesswoman she is in real life - with a defined set of requirements and money to spend on commissions. As well as great patience - because her requirements, like that of her male counterpart, are just as unrealistic - c'mon, a six pack on a 40 year old is hard to come by if he has to come with money of course. So you go younger, less mature and more fun. Pretty boys grow as fast as hot girls in the emotional and intellectual department. That is a fact. And they are just as expensive...
