Diss'n us

Here's the flip side
He walks by a bunch of young hotties and gets caught giving them the eye and gets told to go home to his wife and called a perv.
WE get caught and they wink at us and smile..
It's GOOD To Be Old(er)!

I was referring to the young pups who spoke of us in disparaging terms, not the girls.

If "diss'n us again" will be accompanied with more pictures of podium hotties, then I say, let the diss'n of us 50+'ers continue.

There is a rumor that our Gov hand picked those women. Beautiful women are a California natural resource.

I read that entire thread when it was started. One thought kept going through my head, a young dude (the OP) can't figure out what to make of knockout Podium girls or why they're there. Huh??? The thought, "Youth is wasted on the young" comes to mind.
