Re: When he is as old as the unhappy married man in Dreiser's short story " Free " this woman will finally make him happy wrinkles and all , Steve !

LOL! That woman was at least being HONEST Ron. Good for the man that he wasn't seduced by her honesty! 

So the male counterpart of this would be Dave Gold with his hair dye and Viagra?! 

Lol. 

Talk soon,

I have been madly in love with the perfect woman for decadesFeb 9

I don't want to be old, I don't want to stop being desired and to be treated well, I don't want to have wrinkles and be ugly. what can I do?

I was dating this stunningly gorgeous lady, every man watched her cross the room.

When we were starting to get serious, this lady told me her plan for when she had wrinkles.

She told me that she was having too much fun as a single gorgeous woman, and didn't want to get serious at this time. But she thought that I would be the perfect person to marry, but only after she got wrinkles and no one else found her desirable.

I don't think she ever understood, why I was upset, and never spoke to her again.

But at least she was honest, and her plan to be treated well after no one else wanted her, was to marry me.

Fortunately, I found someone better in every way.
