There is one case however that I can see where this could cause a major issue. If at the end of it you can�t get them to let go, you could seriously have an issue with stalking. Hopefully, you are all avid fans of Neighbours. This year saw Taj fall for Libby. Now clearly Libby was not after anything serious, but it must be pretty comforting and confidence boosting to know she has a young, fit and fertile man after her even though she has a child. There�s also more recently the case of Izzy and Jack. Although the bitch is clearly leading Jack on, she gets the best of both worlds and is completely in control. Seems like a winner to me.

Now, pulling a younger man is not actually as easy as it seems. The reason for this is that blokes are all out for the younger girl. There are two main easy routes you can take to perfect your younger man pulling technique. (a) Pretend to be younger (b) Buy the guy beer Or you can take the difficult route which involves making them feel guilty & special at the same time. If you make them believe they have to look after you, they will because they feel self-important.

Wondering how to keep a younger man? If you are, you�ve probably gone into this with the wrong attitude. There is relatively little work involved in getting your younger man and the same is true for keeping them. You shouldn�t really be having to make the effort. However, the best way is seriously to treat them mean. It works. Remember what I said about guys wanting younger ladies? Well if something is not going your way simply drop your own level of maturity and again make them believe they are more important than you. Then you�re on to a winner baby!

I just noticed that under here there was a lot more Vic philosophising than Emma� so here�s my shot at rectifying the situation.

Just to kick things off I thought maybe people would like to know why I am considering myself an authority on the topic. Well, actually I don�t, my love life can be broadly classified as �unsuccessful.� However, particular jobs have meant that a lot of my time is spent around older men, and this has given me opportunity to consider them romantically� as half the time there�s actually nothing else to do. And much to a lot of peoples disgust I do find myself attracted to a few of these men (45 being the oldest) so Victoria and I decided to write a book on the topic. But this will do for now.

�Why should women pull younger men?� is the question Victoria proposes initially. Indeed, why should they? It makes no sense. You can find plenty of older blokes that are just as willing to use you, and be used, just for a �laugh.� Ha ha. I think Victoria basically wants a bloke to lie at her feet and be walked all over � whereas I myself prefer a bloke with his own mind, who preferably is a bit mean to erm keep me interested.

(I'd just like to point out this is not the case. I'd just rather have a bloke within a few years of my own age because I'm an immature sod. I have very little to talk about with working blokes, as Emma goes on to mention, because I have spent all my life in shitty student jobs unlike Emma and so i haven't yet really lived in the 'real world'.)

Come to think of it, there�s actually a lot of older men who are quite willing to let themselves be walked all over by some young whippersnapper bitch. This type can be quite useful� credit cards, cars, nice houses, sensible jobs with real wages (and money doesn�t matter a jot to me!) much more useful than a young lad who�s never had a proper job in his life and still relies on his mum/student loan/paper round for cash. Which brings me to my next point � I don�t think it�s a matter of age � just types of men (see also Ians article on taking dogs for walks or something for some interesting views from the male perspective)

Basically the reason I prefer older men in general is because I like to feel like I�m being looked after. I like �real� men. I like men to make decisions for me, tell me what to do (whether I do it or not is another matter� and all part of the �fun�), a man who knows how to fix things is also quite useful� As one very wise man said once, �it�ll take a strong man to ever control Emma.� And I like to present a challenge. Essentially I like to feel protected. Not like I�m protecting.

Ah hah! And of course� there�s experience. Older men have moves the younger generation have never dreamed of. And then there�s life experience� older men are sometimes just more interesting than your average young boy. That has serious limitations though� some people are just boring. Also REALLY old men can get a bit Grandad-ish� you know its doomed when he utters the phrase �when I were a lad�� and produces a bag of Werthers Originals.

Then again� at the end of the day all men of whatever age seem to be attempting to cling to eternal youth and the lot of them act like teenagers all the time anyway. So why am I still talking?
