I blame my i-pod and, if I'm honest, I blame the gym too. The thing is, when you get older, tradition dictates that you look for a suitable mate. What was fine in your teens and early twenties, guys with hot bodies or nice cars, is no longer fine now. I spent much of my 30's either married or too fat to even make eye contact.
Now, things are changing. I've lost some weight with the help of my trusty i-pod and gym membership and I can't help but notice the delightful albeit very young members of the gym. When I'm listening to my ipod on the treadmill I can imagine myself dancing wearing some awful tacky getup that will undoubtedly showcase my rock hard abs. Of course, I'm not dancing by myself, I'm dancing with all of these good looking guys I see at the gym.
Now, what you might ask, makes them inappropriate and why do I love them? For starters, they are way too young for me. I don't mean in a creepy, high school way. I mean almost 20 years younger than I am. Now I know Demi Moore can do it and do it well, but have you seen her lately? Wow. Not me, not yet anyway. Secondly, we have almost nothing in common. I don't even get most of the music out today, my nephew programs my ipod and texting takes me longer than a phone call would.
Why do I love them? Well for starters they're nice to look at. I get a lot of inspiration just from watching them. Who knows? Someday they may offer to spot me while I'm lifting my 10 pound dumbells, I of course will graciously accept and offer them a sip from my water bottle (I know I don't have cooties). Then and maybe most importantly they are uncomplicated all they need is a good gym and some really nice sweatpants and they're good to go. They haven't been beaten down by life yet with kids, mortgages and full time jobs.
So here's to you inappropriate men. Long may you pump iron. I'll be watching.
