As my girlfriend showed me one day when I said I wasn't getting any matches, she just literally pulled the bar down across the screen and made my search from 55 and above to like 37 and above. And I know Cindy Gallup, we've had conversations, she's been on my show, you know, she is one of the main advocates for the benefits of going out with younger men. And I do get it, like younger men have their benefits, right? They're interested in older women probably because, well, frankly, we're easy. We're just easy. We're drama-free. We don't have much estrogen, so there's not a lot of drama going on there. We've got a lot of experience. We know how to go down on a guy and make him feel good. And, you know, mostly— and I think that I get why they— I get why they like us. I, you know, it's perfectly obvious. Do they like us for the long term? Probably not. But for short-term fun, or I mean, I guess if you're Madonna maybe they're in it for the long term. But, you know, by and large, I think most younger men are looking at older women as fun, short-term relationships, you know, whatever. But for older women, I just think, yeah, okay, it's kind of nice, but there's something to be said about age-appropriate relationships, and there's something to be said about being able to talk to a man and have the same relative cultural references and all of that sort of stuff. And I do think that these articles, they're not indicative of what I see generally.
