It is amusing to me and also heart warming to entertain the antics of men who want to impress me.

When I was young it was their athletic ability that they used to parade about before me. I dated a couple of college basketball stars during my youth and that was a lot of fun.

Then it was what their plans were for their future. Unfortunately I didn’t choose well during that time in my life and ended up with my ex for a husband.

After I got divorced there was a time when I dated guys according to the car that they drove. I stayed with a guy that was white trash for several months just because I liked his corvette.

Nice cars are a definite lure. I have gone on dates in several porsche’s and also a beautiful corvette.

However, a car can only do so much for you and a pension plan is always nice. On one of my many trips to New York City one of my guy friends regaled me with his wonderful pension plan.  If he could have kissed right I may have snagged him.

As I have grown older I have become more selective in my choice of men. I don’t date white trash and a pension plan is a necessity but a lucrative investment portfolio is just as much a necessity.

It is amusing to me that the men not only tell me about their financial stability on dates but they also tell me something else….

They tell me about their colonoscopies, their prostate exams, their EKG’s, their cholesterol levels, there stress tests, bladder scans and various other medical tests that they have endured to prove that they are a good and healthy potential mate.

I think that is it sweet how they try to impress me. These men are handsome, successful and wealthy men. They drive fancy cars too.

I don’t know if I will ever get married again. I would like to, but even if I don’t, it has been a wonderful experience getting to know these men.

They have all been dignified gentlemen and anyone who can survive a colonoscopy, a bladder scan and a prostate exam has my admiration and has impressed me.
