One of the hardest things for conservative boomer women is our Departments of War killed off a lot of really good men. You had to be physically and mentally fit. They drafted good men without the connections or money to get out. Now so many of them lie 6 feet under, or worse, in a refrigerator box in an alleyway. They blew up their bodies, their minds, their self-worth, and destroyed them with drugs and agent orange. That seriously cut into the pool of available, conservative, patriotic men.
For me, a good man would be between 57 and 70. Primarily because those in their late 50's missed the Vietnam War. And, most of the good ones are married or in a committed relationship. I would never come between that. It's too hard to find someone you can love and trust. So, that's my Saturday night whine. Naw, not really whining. I have a lot of young male friends who are just that... friends. They keep trying to set me up with their fathers... but even their fathers are too young! kek
This comment just got to me on several levels. Although I’m about 20 years shy of you target audience, I have known many men from the era you speak of. Actually one of my closest neighbors and friend is 71 and went to Nam. He really is a great guy but some of the things that happened to his body are not fair. Men like him are very few and far between. Which is why what you said hits home.
Him and I often talk and connect on a brotherly-level. We have a mutual respect and understanding of each other despite the age difference. A lot of it comes from our hobby of woodworking. I would honestly choose to hang out and get drunk with him over someone my own age, any night.
Idk what point I’m trying to make, except that I’d hang out with you any day. Give some of those guys a chance because we’re not all bound to the number of our ages.
Oh thank you so much. It's lonely out here for older boomer women who are patriots and single. Though I do find a lot of younger men I can talk with. There are some things that being near the same generation helps. Some shared experiences and understandings. The best part of being older is I just don't do "drama" anymore. Not worth the effort. And that's what men your age really appreciate!
We really do need to find a way for legitimate connections with each other without doxxing ourselves or putting up with trolls and shills causing us problems...
