I am so proud of myself. I just broke a cycle and realize something.
Hi, this is fifty plus James add Junior, and you know,
as you know, I am out there single, trying to date, trying
to meet people, and it's hard in your fifties. I'll be fifty five
in the month and like literally a month and it's really tough. You're trying
to, you know, find the right person and everything. And tonight I'm
on several of the apps and I just kind of I leave it open,
you know, I left open in terms of distance and age and race and
every they decided to do wide open, see who comes through. I like
all kinds of people. So tonight I met someone and actually connected. Really.
This person is thirty two and newly thirty two, so under under over
t twenty something years younger than me. That's number one. Very cute though.
Green gray eyes. Green eyes are my favorite of all time. They're
very rare. My girl, Tammy Govea has them. If you if you
go to watch my shows with me, she has them. That's there.
Oh sorry, look at I start looking at something and uh and very nice
looking everything. Sorry talking well. The opening was Taylor Swift. Oh,
person said the queen. Taylor Swift was like, oh, the queen.
I'm like, okay, we're different generations. Clearly, obviously I don't think
wrong. I don't think wrong with Taylor Swift. But I was speaking his
language and I was kind of like, you know, I do admire her
and I want her to succeed and stuff. She's like, oh my god,
Mary. Anyway, we had a conversation this person's looking for I'm looking
for supposedly as we just just wrong online this meeting for the first time.
But I realized something as I was the old me, I have data younger.
I have data younger, taking all the jokes everything with my friends and
stuff, and it works out. So I realized the way tonight. I'm
like, the last six or seven people I talked to were in their fifties
and sixties, and you know what, I like it, I do.
And it was like it was like a giant it was like a giant truth
bomb just dropped on me. And I was like, I like that.
I think I want more of that of that age group. I don't think
I want anyone younger than me like that, So I might be changing my
preferences to of the age part and make a little older. Now, I
you know, I made by in their forties yet, because that's that could
be I don't know, maybe ten years longer than me. Maybe Okay,
I don't know, but I realized tonight twenty years. No, no,
no, and it could be. I mean, it's just for me.
I mean, I think you dave whatever you want, but for me,
I'm like, that's not what I want. And I politely just like let
them, let them the person know, I'm sorry, I just I'm not
there. You're you're just very young. You're very sweet. This person called
me papa. Within the first two minutes I was talking, I realized,
I don't like that either. That's not I that doesn't turn me on nothing.
I don't like that. So that was a nice you get in your
fifties. You know. The joke is that we're always trying to go younger
a lot of times, and that's true. And I still think there's nothing
wrong with it if you want to go younger or go younger. But I
was like, you go on, I'm good, I'm good, and I
like my age or older or or at least a few at least fifties and
sixties, So that to me, I feel like I broke a cycle of
saying that I know it's not gonna work out. And this person looked far
out to like one hundred miles away from me, so I'm like, we're
never gonna meet anyway, So I'm never gonna meet. I have a car,
anything might go direction. So I was just like, this is gonna
be just a we're gonna talk out here anyway, and the knowh's gonna happen.
But I thought, but in terms of just knowing who I am and
realizing this is this is, I know what I want. But now I
know what I want age wise too. You know, all the people I've
talked to you last year didn't work out, there were still there's things about
them that I really enjoyed, and their age was part of it. They
were just it was just more relatable and in the end, and I don't
know if just again for me, it feels like a triumph for meal,
a little mini triump because I feel like I just just realize something about myself
and I'm feeling good about it. I'm feeling very good about it. So
I think I want to keep that and now I'm going to go forward in
that and just you know, someone I'm a change of settings. But if
someone younger comes up to me, I could be nice to them and just
just be polite and be like, you know, I'm sorry. I just
want to find my age. He's older. And you know in this in
this day and age, is something wrong with when somebody your age or older,
it's like iybody wants you know, it's like everybody trying to go younger
or if you go younger, like you can. But for me, I
well, so I'm just smiling because I feel good about something in this whole
crazy dating world, which is not fun, and especially in your fifties is
not fun. But there are plenty of people in their fifties since you start
looking for love. Also, I'm seeing them more and more now I'm actively
looking, So I'm going to continue actively looking their direction too. What are
some things in your fifties that year? If you're dating out there in your
fifties or sixties or seventies or eighties, what do you notice if you like
now that you didn't that you may have changed their thoughts on? Let me
know, is this fifty plus we're everywhere and i'll tech to you next time.
