Offending People (or Shut Up, You're Bothering Me)

You might be surprised, but people can be offended by the blog postings here.

I have laughed at comments I have received and thought I would respond to the one I received today.

I wrote an honest and sincere blog about who I consider to be age appropriate and my feelings about others outside of the range. Interestingly enough, I entitled it Age Appropriate. I don't fault people who feel differently, but I have my personal thoughts on the matter.

One of the responses I received, not posted because I didn't feel he merited posting, was from a 60 year old man. I did not check to see if he was married or otherwise didn't fit my criterion for interest as age alone is exclusionary. He is closer to my dad's age than mine, and I have no daddy complexes.

He did say that his was 23, though. Perhaps I was being<b> attacked </font></b>for being too old to be his ? He was 37 when she was born, so he was younger than me at the time of her birth. Apparently, that didn't help him to understand the scenario. Either that, or his 's mother was significantly younger than him, perhaps in the usual 20 something age group of the bearing norm? No telling. I didn't ask.

This 60 year old man started by saying that I was on the edge of his possibilities but that he would never date me because of my attitude. I smiled and laughed. He would never talk to me because I wouldn't respond to his emails or his instant messages. I mentioned this in my blog post, but apparently he still believed he had a choice in the matter.

I felt the need to share. I never intended to offend anyone older than 54 with my post, but I don't feel the need to check my every word to avoid offending them either. I never said anything about questioning a man's virility starting at any particular age, just that I'm not interested in men beyond a certain age. I did mention that I don't take men who are too much younger than me seriously and that they are more for amusement than regular entertainment purposes. No one has called me out on that one yet, but I tend to believe that would be more offensive. Why couldn't I take a younger man seriously? I would say because they aren't looking to be taken seriously with older women. Who would be shocked with that insight?

If I have offended anyone, please exercise your right to ban me and find your entertainment elsewhere. I have no means of compelling anyone to read blog postings, and I would hope everyone respects that others will have their own opinions.
