M:(6-1)And you said that women should rethink some of the big no-nos they say in their life. Let me just list some of them.(7-1)I will not travel out of town to meet someone I don’t know well. I wouldn’t let someone I had only met briefly or online travel significant distance to see me.(7-2)I would never date someone significantly older or younger than me.(7-3)I don’t like partners significantly taller or shorter than me.(74)I am not going to approach someone who I think is attractive in an airport, restaurant or on the street. You said it’s time to rethink that whole list. Why not stick to those standards and say I’m not going to do those things?
W:(6-2)Well, if you stick to those standards, you will be very very lonely. Because there are just too many nes. I say why not. Particularly when you are over fifty or any age, you say, let’s start.(6-3)Why don’t I take a look at the whole broad out there, and see what I can learn from it? Your question should be why not. It is supposed no-never. I try to get rid of never period.
M:(8-1)What kind of guys are looking for women in their fifties? As you always hear about these guys looking for these young 20 some things or 30 some things, who is looking for a woman in her forties or fifties?
W:(8-2)Lots of men, thousands of men. Everybody says there is no good man. That’s just simply not true. That’s one way of saying I don’t want to put myself out there. There are CEOs. There are professional athletes. They are just great guys, ordinary guys with good hearts and good character.(9)Why would people on the net be worse than those who are out there in everyday life? In fact, they are better. Because at least, at our side, for many of the others, they are looking for relationships.(10)And I believe that when they are older, they want a companion, not a marriage.
M: Oh, Pepper, I want to say, of all your books, this one is definitely the juiciest. Again, thank you so much. We appreciate your being on the show.
