Hola..... 
I read your blog and then went to your profile and viewed it...your holding age very nicely..  I agree some have better genes then others, and some take better care of themselves then others do, especially when their younger, which shows up when their older in many cases.
I personally don't really get the whole chasing younger on either side of the coin, as the age factor will one day present it's self, and those whom date allot younger may one day find them self alone, as the younger person still wants a playmate, not act as a nursemate.
I have seen many beautiful women here above the age of 40 who can easily hold a candle if you will, to many of the younger women, personally I refuse to date any woman under 40 that's a 12 year difference, I have no idea what the future holds for me, or how long I can maintain a reasonable appearence?  I have many younger women come at me and I have to turn them down, what do we really have in common? She can now legally drink?  I'm being ironical.. I don't drink never have, persoanlly I just don't care for it. But they look at my pics, often times skip what I write and think I look good enough for them to date?  Most of the time I have to tell them my son or daughter is older then you..
Many male friends have asked me why I won't date 20 or 30 year olds if I can? My first question is what can they make  other then reservations?  They usually say, yeah but the younger ones look good...  and they are in better shape  I know many older women who take very good care of them selves, and stay in shape, people can fall out of shape at any age or gender, it's not just women. Women just happen to be the focal point of magazines and society.
I don't date out of shape women..before you get mad at me or I get hate mail please understand or consider this..
I'm not out of shape, I work out, not at a gym nor am I fanatical with it, but I make it a point to try and stay in the best shape I can, and look as good as I can for whom ever I'm with, not because I think I have to, but I want them to be turned on as much as possible at our age..lol Were given one mind and one body, we spend allot of time working on our minds, to be the best we can, I think the body deserves some attention as well..  I hear many say it's the heart and mind that really matters... We should accept the body as is..love the mind and heart, don't worry about the body.. 
I get that, really I do...but have a little different view of it, It's true, If I fall in love? it's with the mind and heart not the body... However men have to be excited about making love, that's how the equiptment works, It doesn't work well if were not excited, it can react, but to be a top performer it must have the balance, at least for me. I don't expect any womean to look 20 again, no more then I do...  But atleast work with what you have and try your best to preserve it as much as possible, the women you mentioned in your blog, have made it a point to stay in reasonable shape, we can all have our highs and lows, gain or need to gain weight, but some just give up on themselves physically, not just women but many men do it to.
I'm being as honest and pointed as I know how...I pray I'm not offending anyone, as that is not my intention, not at all. But these are issues that often come up between Mars and Venus. Women have often ask me, why men are so visual and why is that so important? Performance! It's the way nature planned it or for the believers, it's the way God planned it..If not and we walked around hard all the time, Women would be scared to death.. Look at how men are already when it only happens under circumstances...but I digress..

If anyone is offended by my comments, I apologize  My intentions were noble and honest.

I was rejected by one guy because of my age, he is in his late 30s now. We got along great too, liked the same things, had the same type of personalities, loved to laugh and be together, we looked forward to seeing each other every weekend, we even went on vacations together, I felt something each time we held hands, there was definitely something there, but....he could not commit. I know it was my age. He figured, he'd be out kayaking and I'd be unable to since I was much older. He could not handle the age gap. Age shouldn't have anything to do with a relationship if two people really get along. It frustrated me he couldn't see that. Now I have a much younger man and he can see past my age, phew. But....some men just don't get it do they? They will pass by the love of their life because of age without even realizing it. My friend was in denial of his feelings. I feel sad for him, he goes from relationship to relationship. Sometimes it takes awhile for some people to grow up, to realize what they have lost.
BTW, 1frantastic, you look great for your age! Definitely good genes.

This is a Great blog!!! You go girlfriend! I had to go check out your pics. I love your attitude. I'll will try harder to adopt this attitude. Oh, and you look fantastic! . I try to have a positive attitude.
Sometimes it gets hard though. I don't go to clubs often, maybe twice a year. I went with a friend. A couple of hours into the evening, my confidence was beginning to wane. I'm not a beauty queen, but I ain't no gator bait either. At least I thought. At the end of the evening I began to feel like a leapor . Finally a nice young man ask me to dance. That's after I had been rejected by two other men. Needless to say my confidence/ego/vanity, what ever was pretty shot down.  I'm in recovery now

I forgot to add: There were several men close to my age they were all perusing the girls in the age range of 21 to 35 years of age.

doll beauty really is only skin deep.... we will get older, its ok, theres nothing wrong with it.. you are bashing yourself up about the inevitable.... nothing can stop it, look at your soul, thats who you really are... not your looks.
remember you cannot judge a book by its cover, its the innards that keep you hooked.
do you know anyone who isnt getting older? even those who can afford the fillers and botox, they are just delaying the inevitable. let it be, get older gracefully... love your soul, its unique... its like no other.

I like the new look Fran! I like the outlook too! We ladies are stronger than sometimes others give us credit for and sometimes more than we even give ourselves. If someone doesn't want us... its their loss.. and moving on is a sign of strength and growth!! Kudos to you for being "strong against the wind"

Despite my finally realizing this blog was NOT yours, I am sure any number of us imperfect (albeit completely average) specimens appreciate your sparing us the effort of seriously reading your profile.
Fran, you speak eloquently of the issues of so many of us here - men as well as women. Fly high and free, Ms. Butterfly!!
