Snow. And those are Christmas trees in the background.

We get quite a bit of both at elevation here in the Pacific Northwest.

Merry Christmas.

OK then... I supppppppppose the season warrants posting of these types of images.... Please refrain when encountering discussions of tropics and umbrella drinks....

As sincere an offer to proposition said 24 year old with promises of higher education funding.... The accompanying parental photo convinces that "good family acquaintance" deems to be the proper course....

Merry Christmas... and welcome to CF

Sailor647, is that a 30-inch bar on something like a 440 or 460 powerhead? I'm impressed... only have a little baby saw (Stihl 290 for our southwestern pondo, pj, and scrub oak). How much firewood do you cut? My 23-year-old son used saws a whole lot in Arizona, Nevada, Utah, and Idaho this past summer and fall.

Why would she want higher education?

I don't want to talk to her...

And your picture puts them both at a disadvantage. Paddle boarders do not have a good reputation here at Shilshole. There's a local firm that teaches "paddle boarding yoga". They go out into the middle of the fairway, and practice lotus positions on paddle boards.

I know, I know.

Cruisers go around them, and folks with bow thrusters give them a large blast as they go past.

Hope one day i can run an ad like this. But for fun not commitment. Because when you are sixty, a 20 year old is good for you, but when when you turn 80 then she will be too old.

Please tell me you're making this up...

Good heavens, most forty-year-old women would be plenty young, energetic, experienced, and skilled enough to do whatever needs doing and more. And many of them could probably wipe the floor with some of the guys posting here. It's utterly staggering just how much talent, ability, commitment, staying power, and proven performance some men-boys would be willing to overlook and ignore.

Oh here we go, usual shaming tactics of men that prefer sexier, younger, better looking women.

Yeah if she is 40, and in shape, hasn't cut her hair with an unfeminine short "mommy cut", and hasn't become a frumpy feminist that blames men for all the ills in life that have befallen her -- then no problem.

I'd overlook and ignore a 40 year old woman in a heart beat that doesn't fit the above description -- even is she has Dennis Connoresque sailing skills, and go for the slim, sexy, 20 year old that gets seasick in a bath.

I say good on the OP, go for it mate

Wait, i thought we were joking

shorebird · 24-12-2013, 12:03

Sorry, but back to the people doing "yoga paddleboarding" mid-channel.
Have you seen those videos of Killer Whales charging an ice floe, so the resultant wave washes a seal off the floe?
Now picture, if you will, several boats approaching the errant paddleboarder in the same manner. I think it would put the 'boarder in touch with his or her inner self rather abruptly.
Rant over, return to original thread...

rgscpat · 24-12-2013, 12:28

Still in the joking spirit, how is it that guys who can't keep up on the maintenance of basic fiberglass (GRP) boat or afford a new boat, think they can afford the upkeep on a twenty-something-ish high-fashion girl-woman? One good shopping tune-up can exceed the cost of a diesel re-build in a heartbeat. And if you ever need to put one on back on the market, the broker (aka lawyer/solicitor/alimony/support) fees could make the boat-selling market look cheap, fair, and transparent.

Now while maybe a few women may go out of their way to not make themselves attractive to some guys, there may also be some guys who could share blame for being afraid of strong women or being brainwashed into thinking they'll be happy married to Perfectly Pampered Pink Princess Barbie.

Sadly, the same thing occurs in animal shelters and adoption centers; so many people want only cute puppies or kittens or bunnies or chicks, but then realize they don't have the patience or intelligence to housebreak the new puppy, or get frustrated with other immature animal behaviors. Yet an older pet may have been the perfect playmate.

Remember the wise words of our revered US founding father, Benjamin Franklin:
"And as in the dark all Cats are grey, the Pleasure of corporal Enjoyment with an old Woman is at least equal, and frequently superior, every Knack being by Practice capable of Improvement."
Benjamin Franklin, Advice to a Young Man on the Choice of a Mistress (June 27, 1745):
My dear Friend,

I know of no Medicine fit to diminish the violent natural Inclinations you mention; and if I did, I think I should not communicate it to you. Marriage is the proper Remedy. It is the most natural State of Man, and therefore the State in which you are most likely to find solid Happiness. Your Reasons against entering into it at present, appear to me not well-founded. The circumstantial Advantages you have in View by postponing it, are not only uncertain, but they are small in comparison with that of the Thing itself, the being married and settled. It is the Man and Woman united that make the compleat human Being. Separate, she wants his Force of Body and Strength of Reason; he, her Softness, Sensibility and acute Discernment. Together they are more likely to succeed in the World. A single Man has not nearly the Value he would have in that State of Union. He is an incomplete Animal. He resembles the odd Half of a Pair of Scissars. If you get a prudent healthy Wife, your Industry in your Profession, with her good Economy, will be a Fortune sufficient.

But if you will not take this Counsel, and persist in thinking a Commerce with the Sex inevitable, then I repeat my former Advice, that in all your Amours you should prefer old Women to young ones. You call this a Paradox, and demand my Reasons. They are these:

i. Because as they have more Knowledge of the World and their Minds are better stor'd with Observations, their Conversation is more improving and more lastingly agreable.

2. Because when Women cease to be handsome, they study to be good. To maintain their Influence over Men, they supply the Diminution of Beauty by an Augmentation of Utility. They learn to do a 1000 Services small and great, and are the most tender and useful of all Friends when you are sick. Thus they continue amiable. And hence there is hardly such a thing to be found as an old Woman who is not a good Woman.

3. Because there is no hazard of Children, which irregularly produc'd may be attended with much Inconvenience.

4. Because thro' more Experience, they are more prudent and discreet in conducting an Intrigue to prevent Suspicion. The Commerce with them is therefore safer with regard to your Reputation. And with regard to theirs, if the Affair should happen to be known, considerate People might be rather inclin'd to excuse an old Woman who would kindly take care of a young Man, form his Manners by her good Counsels, and prevent his ruining his Health and Fortune among mercenary Prostitutes.

5. Because in every Animal that walks upright, the Deficiency of the Fluids that fill the Muscles appears first in the highest Part: The Face first grows lank and wrinkled; then the Neck; then the Breast and Arms; the lower Parts continuing to the last as plump as ever: So that covering all above with a Basket, and regarding only what is below the Girdle, it is impossible of two Women to know an old from a young one. And as in the dark all Cats are grey, the Pleasure of corporal Enjoyment with an old Woman is at least equal, and frequently superior, every Knack being by Practice capable of Improvement.

6. Because the Sin is less. The debauching a Virgin may be her Ruin, and make her for Life unhappy.

7. Because the Compunction is less. The having made a young Girl miserable may give you frequent bitter Reflections; none of which can attend the making an old Woman happy.

8thly and Lastly They are so grateful!!

Thus much for my Paradox. But still I advise you to marry directly; being sincerely Your affectionate Friend.

Well, Kiwi399, I take it from the fact you are posting here about your desire to hook a young sexy thing, that you haven't managed to do so yet. I'm not surprised. Young sexy things who are spunky enough to winch in a genny are generally spunky enough to be a little selective about the men they chose. Maybe that's why...

Anyway, since you seem able only to judge the chicks on the smoothness of their skin (and, I'm guessing the size of their butts and boobs), I am guessing personality isn't something you're looking for in a chick. So good luck with that. I am sure you will one day find a girl you deserve.

Oh, were we joking? So am I

Hahaha.

Hahaha.

So you are implying that sexy girls don't have a personality? Who's being judgemental now?

Yep, I do judge women as far as my attraction to them goes on the smoothness of their skin and their butts and boobs as you put.

That's my choice, and I am just not physically attracted to larger, out of shape women, whether they be 20, 40, or whatever age.
However, I am not saying these women that I am not physically attracted to do not have great personalities, or aren't good sailors, or wonderful people in their own right - I just am not attracted to them physically enough to persue a relationship or have them as my love interest as a crew member.
I mean, would you persue or be in a relationship with a man you were not physically attracted to?

And no, I wasn't joking.
