What can you do with a woman under thirty?
It's true she has a certain freshness, like a green apple,
but how raw, unformed, without the mellowness of maturity.
What can you talk about with a young woman?
That is, if she gives you a chance to talk,
as she talks and talks and talks about herself.
Her 'self' is the most important object in the universe.
She lacks the experience of intimate, sensitive silences.
Why don't young women learn how to make love?
They attack with the subtlety of a bull,
and moan and sigh with the ardor of a puppy.
Panting, they pursue their own pleasure,
forgetting to please their partner, as an older woman does.
It's only just that young women get what they deserve.
A young man.

Think that is why younger men like older women - they know how to love. Two novices are pretty new at love and it takes a round or two will things are worked out and both can enjoy this time together. Like the viewpoint this poet gives. Might be because I am an older woman too. LOL Liked the message and the flow of the lines-

If it had not been for those telling last lines I would have said it was a case of the pot caling the kettle black. Obviously in his 86 years Mr. Randall has learned a thing or two about youth in general.

I think I might liked to have met this man. How refreshing is his outlook on the 'older woman'.
