We didn't want to admit that beyond sexual satisfaction, men of lesser age could possibly have more to offer. The most obvious attribute to dating men in their early 20s is their eagerness to please.

My friend in New York has succeeded in teaching her young buck that if she calls and he's playing Nintendo he must immediately stop doing that and pay attention to her. When she reaches for a cigarette, his Zippo is out before the filter hits her lips. Now that's the kind of boyfriend I like. Eventually the age difference rears its ugly head. In my case our first fight was over canned food.
