Love is All You Need...

This past weekend I was having dinner with a couple of friends. Two other chicks and one dude, I actually felt a little bad for him hanging out with the ladies. Though he was a good sport about it, saying that he was out on ladies night. I'm not quite sure why but it seems like there's something about nachos, sangria, and quesidillas that brings out the girl chat. Maybe there's something in the combination of the three, but I think it's more likely just the booze. Perhaps its just that it's a bunch of single people hanging out. Whatever way, it happened and we of course starting talking about dating. I'm not totally sure how this part of the conversation started, but if I remember correctly we were talking about online dating. Which I believe led to discussing the age box online dating questionaires, and how some people don't know what they want. Someone commented how many people just check off too wide a range of 18 to 45. And this of course led to a discussion of what we prefer. Everyone except for me, even including the dude, stated that they prefer somebody that is older. Some of them preferred people that more than a little older, like over 10 years. Apparently they all prefered a person with "experience". If you know me that you wouldn't be surprised by my response. I replied that preferred to go younger, hey I have my own baggage I don't need anyone else's. Since then I've been pondering exactly what I meant. I guess why I want a younger man is because I would want to be with someone that still has an innonent outlook to love. I guess to balance out my love is rough around the edges outlook, perhaps so that I myself will believe in love again. Perhaps you think I'm nuts but I want to be with someone that believes the Beatles were right when they sang Love is All You Need. I'm sorry I don't want to be with someone that's bitter about love. Maybe I'm wrong with the whole experience thing, but I've never met someone that's had lots of it that still believe love will conquer all. Perhaps that's why I've developed a virgin fetish. I'm sorry but I don't feel like being with a dude that's "experienced" half of New York. Maybe I'm weird but I don't see how that's something attractive.
