1) Don't agree with this statistic. I don't know anybody that would have sex on the first date. And if they did, I'd think they'd lost their mind.
2) Marriage is a scary thing. Been there. Done that, twice!
Never again. I don't know any gal overrun by lust and passion. I joke about cute guys. I'm human. My grandma flirted with cute guys, when she was age 84. I've seen late life marriages and some of them aren't pretty! Older people consider the fact that you not only marry a person, but most often marry the entire FAMILY. Young people only consider the LOVE interest.
3) It's fun to be wooed. It's fun to go to diner with a companion, relax and have someone to share life's little pleasures.
4) What's the big focus on SEX? Few men are good at it!
5) I think you gain confidence with age. I love to talk with folks out in public. But I disagree that Boomers would be more likely to hit on a stranger. IMO younger people are less apt to weigh the dangers. The possibility of getting AIDS, would scare the beegeebies out of me!
