Top Reasons to Date a Man Exactly 52 Months Older Than You

NOTE: Clever to disguise as "tongue in cheek" to avoid taking responsibility for its disgusting message.

By Tracy Moore

Men are like a fine artisanal premium cheese. They need to be aged exactly 52 months more than you to taste right. I don't know about you, but when I find myself talking to an older man, especially a man who is exactly four years and four months older than me, something clicks. I can't explain it, but it just feels like the universe's chakra has aligned itself correctly for the first time, that everyone on earth is holding hands in a circle and sharing a Coca Cola, that the clouds are parting gently so a ray of life-affirming light can burst through and radiate all over me. I see my future, and it is one of comfort, reassurance, deep passion and well-planned investments. And I can only think: Every woman should have this.

Wow. Men are like a fine cheese. Thanks. How about men compare women to a cheese? If opening doors creates so much problems, how much more so comparing a woman to a cheese?

What is it about a man exactly four years and four months older that makes every woman quiver with measurable approval? Only just about everything, proving why it's the ideal age gap for couples at any age.

He Has More Money

No matter what you did or are willing to do, you can't compete with his earning potential, so hitch your wagon to that star if you have any plans to live in house-like structures.

You'll Be Set For Life

His extra 52 months investing in that 401k has generated more compound interest than your vagina could your entire life. Together, you'll live out your retirement traveling the world with his sophisticated knowledge and sure-handed investment practices. Where would you have been all these years without him?

He Needs Your Youth

The 52 months of fewer wrinkles you've dodged so far means you've got vivacious energy to "rub off" on him in exchange for his robust experiences as a man in the world. So while he's helping you interpret the evening news with the proper insight and derision, he's getting the benefit of a bubbly, lively, fresh, eager, spritely, fast- moving woman, who, it hardly needs to be said, is always a breath of fresh air.
