This little number arrived in my mailbox this morning and it’s got me fit to be tied.  Lesley Jane Seymour, editor of More, is debating some “Dating Coach” (quotes mine), on the Morning Show, about the pros and cons of lying about your age.  (It’s a CBS clip so you have to sit through some of their Pay-the-Bills BS.)

So what happened at the end?  I ask because midway through the Dating Coach’s spiel, I hit the off button.  The guy has no credibility with me BECAUSE HE’S MAYBE 33.  Would you take dating advice from someone so wet behind the ears?

There seems to be a trend in the world of marketing these days for young guys to be the font of expertise (is that a mixed metaphor?) on the ways and means and needs and whyfores of midlife women.

Let me put this nicely: if you are a male of an age that I might have diapered you, you don’t know squat about my ways, means, needs and whyfores.  You can read all the theory, study the trends, crunch the numbers, and hypothesize the hell out of the demographic, but you still don’t know squat.
