FOREWORD Raised Mition How To Date YoungWmen came out in 1987. Each and every year since, about 400 men who want to know specific things write to me. Usually the guy didn t understandhow crucial sometopics and tactics are. So, to help buyers of the revisededition, here'sa sunrmaryof the key points. Readit twice beforeyou start the book. This makesit easyfor your to recognizethe relativeimportanceof topics as subconscious you makeyour way. SUMMARY:Followmy adviceaboutexerciseandgettinginto shape.Find andmeetyoungmenandmakefriendswith the ones youlike. Don t try to dateyoungwomenuntilyouarecomfortable dating older women. Dressing well and looking good are absolutelymandatory.Flip the book closed and read every sentenceon the backcover.The key: let it happer,don't mnke it happen. Rememberwhat ajerk you wereat age20 so you canunderstandwhereshe'scomingfrom. Only intelligent,independent, rebelliousyoungwomenareinterested in olderlovers.Many are in Acting 101 at the local Junior College.The youngershe is, the harderit is to meet,talk, date. Theyall wantto getmarriedandmakebabies,consciouslyor subconsciously, so "is this leadinganywhere"is alwayson her mind evenafter you get it going.Youare goingto fuck up time and again,so what?Learn from your mistakes.If you want to getmarried,you'rereadingthe wrongbook. The third most importantthing is to haveTheRightAttitude. Shehaswhatyou wantso you mustbe what shewants- aman, a real man, not a boy.Be a man all the time abouteverything. She'safraidyou will useandabuseher becausesheseesyou aspowerful.Slowandeasy.Let it happen.

you must havea string of pearls at leastthreepearls long to be relaxedand confident. That stateof mind is mandatory. To attract young women, you must be different from boys. Different works. It takestime for her to becomeinterested.You must be able to talk aboutthingsshecaresabout.Get informed.Subscribeto Listento her radiostations. olinnand Peoplemaguzines.

Youngwomensendfar more subtlesignals. you mustbe a benevolent dictator.Youmustremainin charge. Shewantsa man, a real man. Shebelievesreal men are always in charge.Be in charge.Shewill testyouendlesslyto seeif you're in charge. Femalesof all agesare manipulativeas a way of life because they can't use brute force to get what they want from us men. Someof themcanbe re-trainedbut not many.That'sjust the way it is. Don t whine. Understand,acceptandbe prepared. Love is the grandestemotion,worth livirrg for andsometimes worthdyingfoi. whenit happens,not if ithappens,enjoyit, and her, for as lolg as it lasts. You causeher to changefar more quickly thanshewouldif shehadnevermetyou. Eventually'she witt wantto go on with her life. Whenit ends,asall goodthittgs must,don t 6k, "why ffi€, God?'

I look up into the smiling black face of Mandy, the 20 yearold attendant.Shegrirn a toothy smile, *Time fo' sumsunshin',Donny." I nod politely, thendrop my eyes to her large bosom and stare. Something'sfamiliar. I struggleto remember. She pushesme down the hall toward the verandaof the GoldenYearsRetirementVilla, pleasantlychatteringaway. As shetalks, her dialecttriggersmy foggedup memory.Gradually percolateup, old images,smells,feelings,sounds,sensations I grin, startslobbering.In my mind, flood my consciousness. thereI am againwith my only black young lover, Genette.It's not 2016any longer,it's 1979. I haveher bra off but I can't get thesetight jeansdown over her wonderfullybig, 22 yearold hips. To teaseme sheputs on

This is not a book of interviewswith young women and a writer's disguisedguessasto whatit all means.This is a how-to bookby a 46 yearold manwho hasdoneit for thepastten years and continuesto do it.

fuytime there aretwo females involved things get complicated quickly. Teddy, especiallyif she'smore experienced,may have given herself the assignment of testing you under battle conditions. She'll bait you with emotionally loaded questions about sex or religion. Teddy may even bluntly ask how your children handled the divorce! If she's attractedto you she may resent her feelings and try to destroy you in front of her friend so neither can have you. Strange?Yes, but true. If Teddy decides she wants you for herself she undermines everything you've built to date. In the end she will feel like shit for what she did and won't go out with you, either. The younger sheis, the more likely she'll bring Teddy along. I even had it happenwith a 26 year old. REBS AND OTHERS. Young women come in two basic models - conformistsand rebels. Rebs ateoutnumberedtwenty to one but what a great group. They aren't hard to spot. Usually they are wearing somethingoutlandish.I can tell by her walk, confident, arrogant, strong and sometimes like she has a chip on her shoulder. For entertainmentthey intentionally piss off their parents or boyfriends. By being a rebel shedefinesherself asdifferent from her parents, different from peers, different from adults of any kind. But, she'sjust different, having only found who and what she isn't. Rebels are the ones who will date an older man. Learn how to recognize them all. Then identify the one who's interested in you. LOOKIE LOU'S WUI SLEEP WITH YOU. Many havebeen interestedin me only becausethey were curious. After a couple of datesthey go to bed with me once or twice, then I never hear from them again. They found out what they wanted to know and decided, "ft's not all that hot. " Or they're so guilt ridden about Jimmy they can't continue. The oneswho didn't like me searchfor excitementwith some other grown-up male. Thosewho feel guilty go back to "messin' around" with boys, somehowthat's not bad. Or, they make up for the transgressionwith me by getting engagedand remain monogamousuntil a year after the honeymoon. Relax, acceptbeing a curiosity. Don't feel indignant. She's

IIER MOTI\MS FOR DATING YOU You're askingher to go againsteverythingparents,boyfriend, church, society and girl friends have drilled into that pretty young head and heart of hers. Why will she do it? One element of her motivation is the desire to be seriously fucked, the way she's heard it's supposedto be done. As you now know her best experiencedoes not begin to measureup to what she's heard from other girls, read in Cosmopolitanor seen in the movies. And, "fer sure," there is the stereotypeof older men as knowledgeable, experiencedlovers. She knows there must be more to it. But this is one of her darkest, most closely held secrets,slightly behind masturbating and feeling terribly lonely. She fantasizeswhat a "real man" would do with her. If she's a bit drunk she talks to her closest girl friend about what it should be like. Don't get this wrong. She's not obsessedwith sex but wonders if she's missing something important. So far her boyfriend's best efforts aren't much. He wants his cock sucked all the time. He's reluctant to give her head and has no idea a clit isn't a miniature dick, if he even knows where it is. He lasts two minutes after entering her. She and her contemporariesknow, otr some level, there's more to it. Part of the attraction is your age. It makesyou different, plain and simple. You are attractedto her becauseshe's different from Also, 38 year old divorcees.(How's that for anunderstatement?) your age qualifies you to participate with her in a forbidden romance, a turn on to females of any age. She wants to experiencelife. You have the knowledge and money to show her a world she's only seen on television and read about in People. Older lovers have lots to offer says Cosmopolitan One of her girl friend's acquaintanceshas one. She's ready to give it a try. She may want to shame and degrade her parents. This girl plays a girmecalled The Goy Ploy.

Daughters of the rich sometimesare just bored and want to do something "totally radical." But, poor little rich girls play Goy Ploy, too. Be extra careful. Irate wealthy parents like to prove themselvesblamelessby threateninglegal action or using their connectionsto punishyou "for seducingour sweet,innocent baby girl. " FOOLISH ASSUMPTIONS. As a married man I was able to easily meet and "date" young women. After a few conversations and lunch she'd realize I only wanted to nail her to the mattress,then to the wall at the nearestmotel. After three of these "affairs" I realized it was not necessary to beat around the bush, so to pun. I only had to be discreet and make it tactfully clear what I wanted. She simply chose to participate in someseriousfucking or diplomatically passed.She knew from my approach and attitude that if she played "chase me, catch ffie, fuck me" I'd lose interest and she'd lose "fuck me. " Courtship was simpler and faster then. No confusion about long term possibilities, the goal was straightforward. My foolish assumption- after getting divorced I would be able to meet and have real dates with young women. WRONG! Married men are toys, nothing to take seriously. When she "dates" a married man she doesn't feel used. She knows what the score is. If she gets entangledshe only blames herself becauseshe reads Dear Abby every day. Now that I'm single, she's confusedabout my purpose and goal He's kind of a potential husband but he's so old. " Everything's muddled. She wants to get married someday but she'sbeenusedand lied to by every guy over 26 she's ever been out with. No matter what I say or do she thinks I am primarily interestedin her slit. I'm somethingshe's not encounteredbefore. I don't want to just nail her. I want to have a caring, romantic, fun-filled affair for as long as we enjoy eachother. Sheknows that on some level from my attitude and approach, sometimes she even asks me directly. "Gosh! An affair? Really?You know, like, I don' know . Jeez.

Today it makes absolutely no sense to couple young and reproduce, yet few young women question the reasonableness of marrying one's first or second "love" and having children until it's too late. It's too late when she's27, has two kids, he's staying out all night, there's no money and she's 40 pounds overweight. Her intensedesire to be Queenfor a Day precludes rationality. QIJEEN FOR A DAy - A POWERF'IJL DRTVER The girls who get married are the envy of all female friends and acquaintances.Even colleagues who rcalize 18 to 24 is ridiculously young to make "until death" commitments are envious. The bride is the centerof attentionfor weekspreceding the ceremony, then she's literally, Queen for a Day. Each and every young female in attendanceyearns for the focus to be on her and they all, or nearly all, are secretlyjealous and resentful. Surprisingly they feel this way even when the groom is a geek,unrepentantwomanizer, druggie or a shiftless, unemployed dolt. Every young woman wants to be Queen for a Day. A queenmust have a king, any king. MIM.ENGAGEMENTS AND MINI-MARRIAGES For six or more years they lived in, and many still live in, a subculturedominatedby peer pressureand peer values. Their entire mini-society is devoted to pairing up, rehearsingto get married and live happily ever after. As they move toward this unquestionedgoal, miniature engagementsand marriages give them a chance to learn, practice and perfect the control and manipulation techniquesthey will use in their real marriage. Mini-engagements are marked by frat pins in the academic world. In the real world a promise ring is used, a miniature diamond set in an engagementring mounting. How cute. The primary reason for a mini-engagementis to make them feel like grown-ups and to cement their relationship. She uses the occasionto lord it over her girl friends and to legitimize her sexual relations. He usesit to ensuresteadysex. When you see his "brand" on her one of two things will be true, she'll be impossible or relatively easy. In my experiencea third of them take him for granted after the mini-engagement.Before hooking him she was preoccupied with getting and keeping a boyfriend but now she's free to discover the rest of the world, including older mell.

Like the rest of us, she wants to have her cake and eat it too. To get a clear understanding of what she goes through, see "Don's Recipe for Trouble" later in Date Her. An affair of any length will be mutually rewarding if you are ethical and up front with her from the start. She learns about the real world and grows up much quicker. This wouldn't happen for years without you. In turn, she teachesyou how to have fun and enjoy being carefree all over again. She gets smarter and older. You get smarter and younger. Such a deal! She's going back to Jimmy and become Queen For A Day after a night, a week or a month. If it lasts longer than a few months she'll realize she deservesmuch better than Jimmy and move on. If it's two, intense, rewarding months she starts wishing it could "lead somewhere." Ethically you must prevent this. It's hard to inject realism into the relationship once this stage is reachedunlessthe seedsare planted early. You are the one who has to do it. (See Ethics and Talk With Her.) STRING ALONGS, BOYFRIENDS OF CONVEMENCE The young women smart enough to know marrying the Leftover is a bad idea, string him along, clinging to a corner of the security blanket while testing the waters of adult life. Also in this category are girls with any boyfriend they don't want to marry but keep for convenience. This young woman was taught independenceby her parents or becameindependentto survive. But, she learnedself reliance in parallel with conflicting valuesstressingpreparationfor a role as wife and mother. She absorbssociety's belief that her real value as a human being is ultimately measuredin terms of how good a mother she becomes. So, even these, the best of the bunch, face contradictory goalsbefore meetingyou. Thesecause her to have conflicting goals after meeting you just like the girls with Leftovers. This young woman outgrows males close to her age by 20 or after college. Even when she rcalizes how "totally out of it" boys are, she can't conceive of life without a boyfriend, so she gets an "older man" of 27, like Randy RedPorsche.After a few attempts she realizes he and his contemporaries only want to make temporary deposits in her spenn bank.

The independentyoung woman knows: (1) She doesn't want to marry the security blanket she's holding by a corner, although she'd love all that ceremonial attention. (2) Young men four to eight years older only use her. (3) Boys don't know what it's all about. She wants to find out what it's really all about. At the same time part of her says she should get married and make babies, another part says to be independentand make a life for herself. Faced with this dilemma, she's ready for you. But, from her point of view you may turn out to be a turkey or too much for her to handle. She's reluctant to burn her bridges. Besides,she'll havesomefunctionsto attendwhere you can't go. God forbid, shecan't possiblygo by herself, especially on Saturdaynight, Christmasor New Year's. Heavens,people would think she doesn't have a boyfriend! Branded a complete failure at 20 or 2I. The young woman with a String Along announceshim in terms implying she seesother people or wants to, starting with you. Somethinglike, "Jimmy's going to the desertthis weeketrd, so I'm going to the Gamma'sparty and seewhat I can pick up. Hee, hee." Or, shejust wears a promise ring and tells you with her body and eyes she's available. Sometimes she announces him in terms sounding like she doesn't really have one. As a worst caseexirmpleDonna said, "Jimmy? Oh, one of the guys I used to date." She wasn't really lying, he was injail. She felt so guilty for "fooling around" she married him two weeks after he finished his sentencefor stealing $60,000 from his first father-in-law! Epilogae. He threw her out with nothing a year later after beating her severely. She got pregnant by the next guy she moved in with, trying to make him marry her. He left when she refused an abortion. At24, she and her baby are living with her divorced sister and her three kids. She didn't get as fat as Mary Ann, only 150 pounds. But Donna started at 110, a dynamite 110, I might add. What a waste of life. Neither Donna nor Mary Ann were future rocket scientists. But they were both plenty smart enoughto not do what they did. They made long range decisions with emotions, not brains. Wanting to be QueenFor A Day, is indeed, a powerful driver.

A mnn is only as old as the womnnhefeels. GROUCHO

Why YoungWomen Most of my womenfriendsandacquaintances claimtheycan't understandwhy divorcedmen only want to dateyoung women. Knowing men are drawn by physical attractivenessthey point out, in a thinly disguisd, caffy maruler, "surfaceappearance is a shallowreasotr,' implying they're attractedto a nranby his deeper,morenoblequalities.(Yeatl,right! NewmanandRedford are noble.) Themoreintelligentonesquickly add, "femalebeautyis only a culturally derived aesthetic,a mere definition, artificial, learned, not reflecting reality." (So what? It's the standard everyoneusesexceptliberatedmen.) In an attempt to convince me not to "waste time" with youngerwomentheybeginby beingreasonable, "A ZTyearold can't possiblyappreciatea nran," moveup to, "A girl just can't relatefully to a man," escalateto, "A youngwonun doesnot havetheexperience to satisfya man," thenbothbarrels,"It can't lead anywhere." (Gee, how nice, they want it to lead somewhere. Do you supposethey want me to get married again,to someonetheir age?Hummmm?) When nothingworks, believingtheir perspectiveis the only one from which reality canbe viewd, they retreatto, "'We're rational. You're sufferingfrom temporaryinsanity, acting out MiddleAge Crary." (Couldbe.)

Here's another perspective, possibly another reality, that of a divorced, 46 year old man. (I, too, have come a long woy, baby.) WHY YOIJNG? My young lover makesme feel my power and potency again. She causesme to experiencethe life and pleasure I've earned and deservebut never enjoyed. She appreciatesand respectswhat I've accomplishedacross the years. When I look in her eyes I see, reflected back, the image I want to see, one that correspondswith my self-image. To her I am a hero and a success,something my wife could never see. I don't get compared with men my age and found lacking. When she does compareme, it's with college sophomores,then ranks me highest. Whatever I am or want to be is fine with her. No demands to grow up, come home or go to her mother's. There's no power struggle. To her, men are not the enemy. With her I can be soft, romantic, giving and caring. She treasuresthesequalities in a male. I can talk with her about my secondthoughts, eventhird thoughtson life, children and career. I don't have to be strong and rational all the time. She doesn't mind when I cry, in fact, she likes it and seestears as merely human, not a sign of weaknessor fallibility. Shewants and valuesher freedom asI do. Somedayshewants to find Mr. Rite and get married, but for now she's not ready to settle down. She and her compatriotsare free spirits still. Two of her better qualities, ones I've never found in any woman: (1) When I don't feel like going to the office shedoesn't panic and worry about money. (2) She doesn't mind if I watch the Raiders kick ass on Sunday. WHY NOT A WOMAI{ 25 TO 35? *Where Never married womenover25 insistonbeingserious, is this leading?" If you haven't had the pleasureyet, it means, "Are we getting married?" Young women don't ask about my remarriage plans before the salad arrives. A divorced woman in this age range is wonderful if she doesn't look for men in a bar, if she doesn't have children and if she's not off on some liberatedbinge. But, it's impossibleto find a single woman under 35 who isn't in a bar smoking

HOWTODATEYOUNGWOMEN

Youth is alive, excited, emotional, full of enthusiasm,energy and drive. Youth can change the world, and your world. Her positive attitude infects you. Optimism and hope cast out cynicism and futility. When I finally made love with a young woman two long years after getting divorced, I felt whole again, reborn. By touching ffie, taking me inside, enjoyirrg my thrusting, surrendering to orgasm, she anointed me. No longer a banished leper, an untouchable,unlovable, middle agedman, I was reacceptedinto the human race. Our culture values youth, period. I'm a member of our culture. I value young women, period. TIIE INTBRNAL ME Ah[D MAYBE YOU A few years ago I discoveredthe gut-level reasonI strongly prefer young women. I used to think it was becausethey are so physically attractive. I used to think it was becausethey are so much more fun. I used to think it was becauseI didn't know how to date them when I was young. I used to think it was becausethey make me feel so male, so alive. I used to think my friends might be right aboutmy Peter Pan syndroffie, you know, never growing up. The soul-searchedtruth has elementsof all these and little to do with any of them. When I look in the mirror I don't see a young man looking back at me. The guy I seehas thinning hair, deep wrinkles and has to lean away from the mirror to get his image in focus. Yeah, I know that middle aged man in the mirror is me but he doesn't look like the me trapped in this 46 year old body. The me inside, the real ffie, the emotional, spiritual me is 27 years old. I ask you, what 27 year old wants to date a 39 year old divorcee with three kids? I want someonewho doesn't look and act like she's old enough to be my mother, at least the mother of my internal self. The me inside wants the sameyoung women the average27 year old wants, Pets or Playmatesof the Month, UCLA cheerleadersand any girl sitting by the pool in Palm Springs during Easter vacation. As stated, I discovered all this a few years ago. I had other reasons and still have some. Let me tell you about both as you begin to Understand Yourself.

48

HOWTODATEYOUNGWOMEN

The more attractive and desirable the female, the more you feel like a man. Okay, I'll buy that. We know, in our culture, how old the most attractive, desirable females are. We know how females directly and tangibly give hard evidence you are attractive and desirable. And, we know you doubt your manliness, shaken by divorce and looming middle age. Now we know one of your motives for wanting to date young women, don't we? You want to prove you're still a virile male with plenty of miles left on your cock. Okay, it's true. You want to feel like a man again. So what? Big fuckin' deal. Every one of the million and a half guys each year who ends up where you are wants the same damn thing. Now the only questionis, will you be honorable as you gather the evidence neededto feel like a man? If you're not honest and realistic with your young lover, and with yourself, about the long run impossibilities of your affair, you will dishonorablyhurt and scarher. You needonly one thing to be honorable,honesty.To be honestyou needcourage.Either you have both or you will never, ever feel like a man. TRYING TO RECOVER A LOST YOUTH. Above I said "impossible." That's not strong enough. I tried "harebrained" "impractical" and "unachievable." Then decided there isn't a word strong enough to stop you from trying. So, I'll tell you my story. That won't stop you either. It may make it easierfor you to honestly search your heart and come to a level of awareness and self acceptance years sooner, with far less heartachefor you and your young lover. Vfith the help of a strong, honest, smart 24 year old who didn't want to get "too involved," I becameawareI really wasn't just having fun and enjoying life with young women. I was shocked. She was right. I was trying to make her my girl friend. Damn. How could I have not known that? I worried about it a lot. I questionedmyself. I talked about it. I thought about it, then I had a second thought, "Who gives a shit how sane,reasonableor productive my needs,wants and desiresare. I have them and by God I'm going to fulfill them. " A year later I fell in love with a 19 year old. I didn't just fall in love, I dived in love, with abandon. I had a hidden motive.

SLIM AI\D TRIM You're not even ready to talk with her until you're within ten pounds of your weight at the end of boot camp. You don't need muscles, you need to be slim and trim. Either get there or buy a video of "Teen Nymphos Unchained" and whack off to it for the rest of your life. There's just one way to lose weight - eat less and exercise more. Only running works. It's effective, measurable.There's no way to rationalize. You can run anywhere, anytime with nothing but a pair of $30 shoes. Bicycling, skiing, tennis, swimming, racket ball and so on, are pseudoexercisewith builtin excuses. Fuck dieting. Stop eating so god damn much. Get your fat ass out there and put those miles on. Everything else is self deception. A six percentweight loss is "well on your way.' If after two months of running and eating less, you aren't well on your way to slim andtrim, you're not serious.Resignyourselfto divorcees over 35. They don't mind fat, it mixes well with theirs.

Brown ShoesDon't Make It FRANK ZAPPA, title of a song

Looking Good The young woman out there waiting for you is infatuated with clothes. She talks about them, readsaboutthem, loves shopping for them and appreciatesany man who wears them well. You won't get anywhere looking like her Daddy. Gather up all Daddy-look-a-like clothes. Don't put them in a bag for the SalvationArmy. Burn them. Burn them right now, like evidence convicting you of father rape and mother murder. Next, buy and read thoroughly , Looking Good by C. Hix, published by St. Martin's and The Truth About What Women Really Want In Men, published by Playboy Press. Pay attention to how male models 35 to 60 are dressed in magazineslike Playboy, Esquire and G8. Don't be trendy. That's trying too hard. Follow fashion. After you've read the books and understand the principles involved get up off your wallet and go shopping. If you have a young female friend, or even one who's a burned out hulk of 28, take her along. Tell her you want truthful opinions and advice. If you don't have an under-3Ofriend, enlist an acquaintance but friends are best. They aren't afraid to tell it like it is. DRESSING WELL You must look good and dress well all the time if you're serious. That doesn't mean jacket and tie. It means wearing tasteful, fashionableclothing, appropriate to the situation.

The Right Attitude Without the right attitudeyouwon't getanywhereevenif you are slim and trim, looking good, living in the right complex, driving a beigeJag, listeningto her music, working in a new company,partyingwith youngfriendsanddating32 yearolds. Young women are attractedto a man who won't kiss ass. They are stronglydrawn by indifference,feignedor real. She will date you, an older man, only if you're friendly, aloof, relaxed,powerful and confident. Your unspokenattitudeis: "I amthe catchhere,not you. I'm not goingto chaseyou. SureI'm friendly, I'm friendly with all the girls. Yeah, I'm somewhatinterested.It might be possible if you, younglady, playyour cardsright. Well, gottago, there's a nice young womanwaiting for me. Catch you later. By the way, you're not bad.' Later,it's still unspoken:"Goingout with me is natural.I'm attractedto you, you're attractedto me. You havea choice,a manor lots of boys.Well, gottago, there'sa niceyoungwoman waitingfor me. ShelikeswhatI do with her. You will too, when you grow up." And evenlater,still unspoken,it's: "If nottonight,ro biggie, we will. I'm in no hurry. Let's watchtv for awhile." Finally, spoken,it's: "No. I haveplanstonight.Look, I've saidthis before.I don't like anyonecomingover withoutcalling first. Pleasedon't do it again,okay.What?Sure,I'll call you."

MR. CLUTCH'S ATTITT]DE You're old enough to remember Jerry West. If you ever caught one of his interviews you saw The Right Attitude I'm describing. He was friendly, relaxed and slow. He was not impressed with himself or his ability. To him it was merely a fact, simply the truth, he was the best ever. To unseeing eyes he seemed humble, he wasn't. He was confident, genuinely confident. But notice in his quote above, "tried. " He knew, and accepted,that once in a while he didn't have The Right Attitude. Neither do I and neither will you. Even if talking with a young women is 'Just a game" too, it feels like life or death the first, oh, two or three hundred times. TWO KINDS OF ADVICE I don't offer uselessadvice like "Don't be afraid." Selling books with idiotic counsel like that is fraud, at a minimum. There's no hidden button you can push and become unafraid. Of course you're scared, it's all new, the rules are unknown. You might get laughed at or even slapped. When first meeting and talking with a young woman I'm always nervous. Opportunity without danger is only a pushover. I am not completely confident now and never expect to be. I'm preaching reality. You'll never ". . . pick up girls. By the truckloads," neither will Weber or any cretin who tries one of his 100 best opening lines. My advice is simply to tell you what the right attitude is, then explain how you begin developing it. You'll never get there, sincedevelopmentis an ongoing never-endingprocess.You only get better, never perfect. STEP OI\"E - FEELING LIKE AI\ EQUAL Developing the right attitude begins with the belief and the inner feeling you're the equal of young people. If you think your age makes you better, you won't get anywhere. If you feel inferior to youth, you will be. When you doubt your equality she will pick up those vibrations and turn you down. Achtung! You vil follow orders as given in "Young Friends." Being around youth day and night lets you see,feel andbelieve, they're not much different, you've just had more birthday parties.

MY EIRST STEP.Long ago and far away in anotherlife I decidedto go after some "young stuff." I wits forty pounds overweight,couldn't run aroundthe block, had a corneroffice with ulcer, dressedin polyester,wore sideburnsandmustache, drovea SedanDeVille, lived "in theheights," listenedto dentist office musakand was unhappilymarried. I felt old, actedold, thoughtold andwasold, in spirit. In fact, I was 32 going on 52. I felt inferior to youth. They had, both malesand females,somethingmagical,somethingI'd lost half my life ago.I wantedit back.Deeplyfearing['d be rejectedand laughedat, I had to force myself. I beganat work, going out of my way to say hello and be friendly with anyoneunder35. EventuallyI madefriendswith a 20 year old receptionist.Within weekssheintroducedme to many other youngpeople. Six monthslater I was running 10 k's with some "dudes" from work. A monthlater,I wasdrinkingbeerwith themat their partieswhereI met and talkedwith females16 to 25. I didn't get anywhere,afraidto try. But just by talking with to youth and was able theseyoung womenI grew accustomed I realizedthey months presence. few After a to relax in their weren't superiorto me but my Jesus,were they ever superior to older females. A few monthslater I was able to approachand havesecret, puresexaffairswith severalyoungwomenat the office. As you know by now they werewith me becauseI wasmarried, not in spiteof it. But at leastI got started.Somehow,someway, you haveto get started,then endup feelinglike an equal,too. STEP TWO _ SLOW AI\D EASY I'm neverrock solid confidentevenafter all theseyearsin the arena.You're nevergoingto be completelyconfidenteither, so work on beingslow. Confidentpeoplearenot in a hurry, not pushy,notnervousor excited.Movingslowlyandtalkingslowly of confidence.First impressions at leastgivesthe appearance are lastingimpressions.Takeyour time.

"Have you everbeenan AssistantManaget?You haven't.Sorry, we're only hiring experienced personnel.', Here's the circular trap whentrying to dateyoungwomen.

Shehas a uniquehistory of bad and goodtimeswith males,beginningwith Daddy. I love beingnice. It is my natureto be nice to anyoneI like and evenmore so, to youngwomenI enjoy.

Gina, 20, was the morning cashier at a coffee shop near my office. I had been going there for a month and although we'd only exchangedamenitiesmy eyes had said "What a tush. I'd love to eat you." Her eyes had said, "Maybe." I met her by saying, "Jesus, am I hung over," to her usual, "How y'doin t'day?" She gave me some aspirins from her purse and commiserated, relating she had one Friday. The next morning sheaskedif I'd recovered.We talked about drinking. I suggestedwe have one together. Two days later we met for a Margarita when she got off at three. She was not subtle. After asking how old I was she laughed and changedthe subject abruptly. With one more drink she confided she'd lusted after a 50 year old at her dad's company when she was 16. We lasted nine weeks. WEDDING RECEPTION OR PARTY The process is the same but compressed.She's going to be gone in a couple of hours. You must start faster, build faster and think of something to say faster. Startfasterby sayinga friendly "Hi" to eachandevery person you see from the time you park the car until you're situated where you can look for her. You're building a foundation to work from. This gives you the chanceto say later, "Hi. Saw you on the way in. I'm Don. Work with Jim, " or friend of the bride or went to school with Sally. Build faster by using this line to introduce yourself and have conversationswith as many different people aspossible.You're setting it up to meet her. Keep it short and move on. The more people you meet the better your chances are. It makes no difference what sex or how old. When you seeher talking with one of thesepeople you'll be able to join their conversationmuch easier. [n fact, you might even get introduced.And, it's easierfor any of the sweetyoung things interestedin you to join a group you're in. They know the people you're talking to. In fact, you might even get introduced. Got it? Acknowledge her anytime you have the chance. Say "Hi," nod and smile on your way to or from the rest room, bar, kitchen, pool. You're just being friendly. Remember, these "Hi's" are first conversations.It's the sameas passingher desk

Date Her What is a date?fire next-to-laststep of courtship.It's any activity undertakenin the pretextof havingfun, giving her time to decide,coruiciouslyor subconsciously,if she wantsyou to take the last step. It tookpersistence,time andpatienceto interesther andprove yourself. Even now that she's attracted,more of the sameis requiredto reach,then take the last step, and penetrateher. WIMRE SIM'S COMING FROM The oldestguy she'sdatedwas 28, RandyRedPorsche,and you know how he treatedher. Shedoesn'twant tlrat happening again. Sheenjoystalking with you, flirting with you and seeslittle risk in being a casualfriend of yours or for liking you ils an interestingperson.But you're not a boy. You've readthis time and time again, she seesyou ils a powerful, dangerousmale. Dating you is the big time. It's new, exciting, glamorousbut, "Gee, pretty scary,too, I don' know.' On a date she knows there will be a new role for her, one radicallydifferentfrom theoneshe'sbeenptayrngat your office or ather work acrossthe past weeksor months. She has no experienceto draw on andno confidencein her ability to handle you. Shethinl$ you havea magic, slick way of gettingher on her back before she evenknows what happened.

You're response,aftermulling it over, consideringif you can put RaquelWelch and LaurenHutton on hold is, "Yeah, but I can't tell much unlessI canjack it up and get under there.

Talk aboutsomething else.By suggesting a pseudodatesheknowsyou're interested. By not persisting,show her you're not that interested.If you applypressure,she'll say "yes," thenstandyou up. Trying to talk her into it doesn'twork. It detractsfrom her imageof you. Any manwho's strongandpowerfuldoesn'thave to try. If you do, shefinds you lessattractiveand it forcesher to facefacts:shewantsto dateyou. That'san issueshe'sbeen avoiditrg, subconsciously waiting for it to *just happen." If you're patientit still mightbut if you push,you'll nevergetthat first datewith her, the one you've workedmonthsfor. Don't push.

In the back of her headshestill thinl$ you may be the Night Stalkereven if she's gottento know you pretty well over the past coupleof months.She'salso concernedyou may be just anotherdirty old man trying to screwher. She's new at this and feels pressure.She's never around anyoneover 28 unlessit's at work. She has no idea what to expect,has no idea how to behaveor what to say. To her, there'ssomethingadultsdo that's different. The more attracted sheis, the moreexcited,but the moreworried aboutembarrassing herself. HOW TO BEIIAW ON A PSBUDO DATE.

She didn't know what to do then, she'snot sure what to do llow. You're that different. It's exciting and scary. Shedoesn't want to look like a foolish little girl in front of a man. She's afraid you'll laugh at her or pull some smooth maneuver and screw her. The younger she is, the more likely it is she will stand you up. She gets scared at the last minute and is too ashamedto call and tell the truth or to even lie. More later on handling this cornmon occurrence. She's not like her 27 year old counterparts.She doesn't want to hurry into the bedroom on the first date. She has to have, and needsall the preliminaries. She does not want to be a notch on another RedPorsche's gun and she isn't interested in putting a 43 year old notch on her gutr, like some 30 year olds.

night after sharing much universal aphrodisiac I declared I wanted to watch her masturbate, sincerely adding how hot it would make me. It took her 10 minutes of hard finger rubbing to come, but she was proud and so pleasedto have surrendered, finally. On the next date, with grand ceremotry, I gave her a giftwrapped vibrator with hand-written card, "Good for one free lesson.Love, Don. " On Sunday,shetook it home, "to practice." The next weeketrd,and for the next year that we were involved, she came every time, often three times a night. The advantagethat old farts like you and me have is that by being on the planet this long we can rcalize that it doesn't matter how she arrives, as long as she comes.

That is, it prepares you so that you won't show how shocked you are when a woman you've been dating for several months boldly proposes something you have never tried. Hey!
