[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do I, a married tax attorney in my early 60s with four adult children, ever fantasize about living alone in my house (with just my dogs)? No.

Do I ever fantasize about being a single (never married), more affluent, [b]much[/b] better-looking version of myself living in a penthouse apartment in Tysons and dating like mad? Yes, I do.

I would still date women my age (plus or minus five years) in my swinging bachelor pad.  However, I would take them to fun places (I love Aruba) and do fun things (I love trying new restaurants). I would only worry about my workout schedule and restocking the wine cellar.

Precisely, I would model my life after a young partner at my firm who is in his late 30s, divorced, with one child ([b]who he sees once a week and every other weekend[/b].)

He is quite handsome, played football in college, and almost every woman in my firm (and outside of it) swoons when he walks in the room. When I walk in with him, women ask me how much it will take to settle with the IRS and hope I get out of the way quickly so they can look at him. :cry: [/quote]

So, I know a guy who fits your description to a T. Right down to taking women on exotic vacations and barely seeing his kid. He was gorgeous and looked like a cross between Johnny Depp and Keanu Reeves.

Things were great until he hit middle age. Even being handsome can’t hide the baldness and growing gut once you approach 50. Women his age weren’t interested because they saw him as the Peter Pan he was, and younger women just saw him as old and gross despite his money and adventurous lifestyle.

He tried to form a relationship with his now-adult son, but his son rightfully wanted nothing to do with him. Told him flat out dad was never there when he needed him as a kid, so why should he be there for his dad now that the fun lifestyle is over?

About twice a year he ends up reaching out to me in the middle of a breakdown about how his child hates him, no woman gives a crap about him they’ve only ever cared about the looks and money, he’s never going to meet his grandkids, and he’s going to die alone. Which is probably true, no woman is going to take him on unless they can get their hands on his money.

Women who swoon over your looks and money bail as soon as they’re gone. A wife and your children are the ones who will be there by your deathbed, as long as you aren’t a total POS.

The grass is never greener on the other side. It’s greener where you water it. [/quote]
