“What you’ve seen?” she inquired.
“Yeah, what she’s done while I’m around her. What did you think? Did you think I was talking about how she looks?” I asked.
“Do you find her attractive?”
“Um, well, sure, she’s pretty attractive.” I stammered.
“Interesting.” She muttered.
“What?” I asked.
“Well, most men, when asked if an older woman is attractive, will qualify it by saying “for her age”, but you did not.”
“I meant nothing by it.”
“Do you find older women attractive?”
“I’m attracted to attractive women. It doesn’t matter if she’s older”
“So you’re not opposed to being with an older woman?”
“If I were a single man, I would not be opposed to it I guess.”
“So if you met Gina, and you were single, would you pursue her?”
“Uh, I don’t know. That’s not a situation I’ll have to worry about. Cause I’m married.”
“Matt, to be perfectly honest, I think you are attracted to your mother-in-law, whether you like to admit it or not. Your wife’s dreams did not start until after you met her mom. I think that she might have noticed something between you two, something that may not have deliberately been done, but something nonetheless. I think she picked up on this, and is subconsciously worried that she might not be enough for you.”
“Are you saying my wife believes her mom is more my type?”
“I believe you are primarily attracted to older women. You might not have fully realized this or come to terms to this, but I believe it to be true.”
“That’s ridiculous. I’ve never been with an older woman. I like younger women. Why would I want to be with an older woman?”
“Exactly. It’s forbidden fruit. Young men don’t usually pursue older women because there’s a stigma. Most think that a guy who has sex with older women has mommy issues, but I don’t necessarily believe that.”
“What do you think?”
“I think men that pursue older women like great sex. And, for the most part, attractive older women know exactly what they are doing. They know what they like, and they know what men want. Younger women generally are more afraid to let loose. Older women are more sure of themselves. They know what to do, and they do it well. Older women go wild”
“Are you saying older women are better at sex?”
“For the most part yes, I believe that to be true. Mature women know great sex, and will be satisfied with nothing less.”
“And you think I’m into this?”
“Yes, I do.”
“What makes you say that?”
“I’m good at my job.”
“Answer the question.”
“I don’t think one meeting between you and her mother would be enough to keep these dreams going. I think you showed an attraction to her at the wedding. But, for these dreams to keep going, she would need to see something that reinforces this line of thought. I think maybe you’ve done things during your marriage that made your wife think you are into older women. Maybe she’s noticed you check out an older woman, on more than one occasion?”
“This is totally not what I thought this would be. I don’t check out older women. I’m not into them, at all. It seems like you’re trying to convince me that older women are better in bed. I don’t know why, I mean, you’re still young. I don’t generally hear younger women telling me that men are better off pursuing older women.”
