OLDER: SO WHAT-GET YOUR GROOVE ON!
Michael 'Femi Ewetuga
I like to change my looks sometimes, kind of give me a different personality. I have
never really tried to look younger, I like looking my age which will be 40 in a few weeks’
time. I started having grey in my beard since I was in my twenties; the grey has
overtaken the black now, so if you see me wearing my beard you can be sure the grey
will be prominent.
It has always been my belief that anyone that tries to look younger most definitely did
not enjoy their youth and so are trying to get what they belief they missed out on. I
enjoyed my youth and it is my intention to grow old gracefully, not ridicule myself by
trying to look younger than I am or conduct myself in a manner suggestive of being
younger.
Most guys trying to look younger, more often than not, are after young girls, which has
never been my cup of tea or else why so much ado about being young. I love older
women, that is not to say that I never dated younger women, I did but then they are
women who in many respect are matured so you might not be able to guess their
ages or even know that they are younger.
To me young girls are big trouble, I have three kids already and not trying to have more
and that is what you get when you date younger women plus an older woman already
knows what she wants and are more supportive when it comes to achieving your
dreams/goals or when you need someone to discuss something serious with beside
manicure, pedicure concerts or movies, they are generally in your corner. Older
women are also more in tune with their emotions and they are, in my opinion, more
loving and caring.
I therefore encourage people to act their ages even when they want to date younger
women because guess what, there are younger women that love older men too and
not as a matter of sugar daddy, they love you even when you have no penny to your
name, they love you simply because you’re older.
I remember going to this club one Saturday, yes, I do go to the club to get my groove
on. I love listening to rap music too! That shocks you? Someone once told me that
men of my age shouldn’t be listening to rap and my reply was that when they put
parental adversary on such music it’s for kids not to listen to them not adults.
Someone also said rap music is violent, apart from the fact that I love the beats and I
love to dance to those beats and believe me I know the steps, some rap music do
make sense, just listen to Ludacris “Runaway Love”, this is by the way.
As I was saying before I digressed, I was at this club and this young lady was standing
beside me sipping her drink, I can’t remember what drink it was now, most of the
names they give to drinks here are unprintable you know like “bald pu***” and so on
and so forth. Akon and Snoop Dogg’s “I wanna love you” was blasting from the
speaker, needless to say, I was having a good time and was contended with taking
pictures, which I use for my website www.minoritiesinterests.com.
I was busing singing the song blasting from the speakers, there I was singing,
“I see you windin n grindin up on that pole,
I kno u see me lookin' at you and you already know
I wanna love you, you already know
I wanna love you, you already know”.
I was swaying to the music and sipping on my Budweiser, the one and only bottle I will
be drinking for the night because I’m not a beer person like that.
Suddenly the young lady said “hello”, I said “hi”. You seem to know the lyrics and the
steps” she said, “I try” I replied. “wanna dance?” I looked at her like she was
something out of Mars. I have started feeling pains in my right knee so I don’t dance all
that any longer but would I let this young girl ridicule me? Hell no! So I said come on
with it and we landed on the dance floor.
I noticed that her mouth was moving so I shouted over the music “what!” she shouted
back over the music “I like your grey” I said “oh, thank you, my girlfriend does too” she
said “it makes you look distinguished” whatever that means, I said thank you anyway.
On my way home I thought to myself, who would have thought a young girl would like a
guy with beard full of grey.
Even in Nigeria where dating or marrying someone older than one is big news young
men and women still fall in love with women and men old enough to be their moms or
dads and that should not be explained away as wanting a sugar mommy or daddy
because those men or women are successful and attractive in their own right. I’m
sure we all remember the story of Ojukwu and Bianca Onoh, one time most beautiful
girl in Nigeria and that of Professor Wole Shoyinka and Folake Doherty.
We all know how controversial those marriages are, couples like that are treated as if
they have committed the greatest sin known to man. There’s always an ulterior as far
as most people are concern if an older man marries a younger woman or vice versa to
them it’s got to be anything but love, but does love has to be mindful of age or is it a
matter of whomsoever your heart melt for or generally just one’s preference? Should
one view having grey, where it is as a result of age, as an automatic disqualification
from seeking a younger lover?
I know I like grey hair on women, I don’t like the idea of dye, I used to look at women
with some few grey on their hairs when I was younger and personally I think it’s sexy.
Dye is not such a bad idea here in America, you hardly notice it, in Nigeria you will
notice the dye on the scalp of those who indulge in it and to me nothing looks uglier.
You can never tell with people’s taste when it comes to the opposite sex, so being
older does not automatically disqualify you from a lady you want, she might like older
men like I said and not merely as sugar daddy or anything like that.
If being old will not disqualify you being African might not be a disadvantage either. I
send notes to women inviting them to be queen of the week on my website and I do
check their profiles before I send such notes. I saw a profile that says “if you are in
Africa or originally from Africa or have African parents please don’t send me note” The
shocker is the person who wrote that is African American. I find that quite amusing
because I wonder where she thought she was originally from.
She’s speaking for herself and not for all African American women, no need to take
that out on all African American women. Some people do like you because you are
African, some people like the accent, so if someone doesn’t like you because of that
don’t be sad and take that out on a whole race, move to the next person. If a girl doesn’
t like you her friend might.
Getting to that forty mark or any age for that matter shouldn’t make anyone view his life
as coming to an end, who knows you might still have the same number of years to
spend on the face of this earth, maybe another forty years, although I do not wish for
that. My wish is to leave when the ovation is loudest, like my dad did, at seventy two,
when I still have the use of my limbs and all.
Since everyone has a preference and as far as I am concern, people are perfectly
entitled to their preferences, I prefer older women, with few exceptions of course, the
exception being you must have that figure, if you know what I mean, that figure that
most African men like, despite the fact that they like to deny that here in America
because slim is the order of the day, the figure that highlight the killer curves.
So now I’m about to cross that bridge and be forty, I’m going to miss being thirty
something but I’m not going to feel horrible because I’m going to be forty and
subsequently forty something. Nothing is going to stand between me and my fun; I
intend to live life to the fullest.
