I Just Noticed Something... Again

I was looking at the blog I keep because I just redid it - you know... working with the templates and the fonts and everything. And I noticed something. I know I probably say that almost every other entry, but this time I really, honestly, and truly did notice something.

I was looking at the pictures I keep in the right column. There are a bunch of pictures of people and cats and... things. Anyway, a picture of Hugh Laurie in his role as Greg House caught my eye, and the caption under it read something along the lines of: "This is what I know I want, so does that make me easy, too?" I entire concept of the whole crazy thought was from an entry earlier in the blog from when this dealt with a class I took. It was about how when men have lots of women, they're considered players and pimps and cool and a bunch of other hypocritical BS. I was trying to make a point that women can be interested in and, theoretically, have lots of men without  being easy or whoreish. And that wasn't what was surprising to me. What was was the revelation that followed.   

I was looking at the picture, and I realized that I really honestly do think Hugh Laurie is attractive (and it's not just because he's a Britt... I can't stand that one guy who played in *Two Weeks Notice* with Sandra Bullock). I really have no idea why I find him attractive, but I do. And then I saw the picture of Johnny Depp (who is sex on toast in my book -- but that's besides the point) who is also older.

Hugh Laurie is 52-years-old; Johnny Depp is 48. Both of them were born in June (to the best of my memory; I could look it up, but I'm too lazy to do that), which could also mean that I have a thing for guys born in June... but then there's Hugh Jackman, who is 42 and born in October... and at the younger end of men I find attractive. So, it could also be said that I have a thing for people named "Hugh". Likewise, though, there's Jesse Spencer, who is the youngest at 32 and born in February. But, like Jackman, he's an Aussie... so I could also have a thing for Aussies.

But the first thought that ran through my head when I saw the picture of Hugh Laurie and admitted to myself -- again -- that he's hot was, "Holy shit... I'm attracted to older men." These men are all old enough to be my father (with the exception of Spencer). But I'm ok with that. And I also realized that I'm more apt to be attracted to older men (and I consider Spencer an older man because when I was in diapers, he was in elementary and/or primary school being all ten-year-old-boy-ish); sure, there are some pretty hot young guys out there, but that's just the first thought that runs though my head. The rest comprise of how financially sound they are (not gold digging... can they keep a house and a job), how mature they are, will they be able to take care of me, of kids (if I ever surrender and have any), what their concerns are (me versus partying and drugs and booze and hookers), etc, etc, etc.

So, does that make me a reverse pedophile? Or maybe I'm a kitten... if older women who go after younger guys is a cougar, wouldn't it make sense that a younger woman who goes after an older man be called a kitten? I don't really know. My slang is sorely lacking.

It doesn't mean anything. I just noticed it, and I felt compelled to share it. That's all.

PS -- Looking at the headshots, maybe it has something to do with their faces. I just noticed -- again -- that they all have a similar facial structure. But, guys IRL... meaning not actors who look like and have the Adonis effect anyway... who are older are attractive to me as well. Very strange. Or maybe I'm just looking way too much into it, and I should just hush up now. But who really knows?
