- Well, she probably thought you were a nerd or dweeb, and went for the stud,
- only to find out that contrary to all expectations he wasn't as good as he
- looked. It's rare, but it happens. So she fell back to you as second choice.

- Well well, 6 years is definitely a major generational gap here. There's just
- too much difference, I mean with you barely being out of high school (23) and
- her practically being middle aged (29) and over the hill! Forget it. It's
- hopeless. Everyone will accuse you of having an Oedipus complex, or call you
- a gold-digging gigolo. And when she gets wrinkles and osteoperosis, you'll
- just end up dumping the hag for a blond 17 year old first year college coed.
