A 50 year old with a 1000 year old problem

Dear Hillary,

I am a young (relatively) 50 year old and enjoy the nightlife round here.  I don’t take any of the offers I get from the girls seriously, as I know they are out for a fun time, just like I am.  Recently there’s been one girl that has singled me out as hers, and she’s great fun too, but I just think she’s been getting too serious as now the other girls all leave me alone.  How do I get back to playing the field, the way I like to do it?

Dear Fit ‘n 50,

I think you are trying to blame some girl for your problems, Petal.  I think it is you who has become serious.  Did she “single you out” or did you single her out?  If you think the girls in the bars are just there for a “fun time” like you, then you haven’t even started to understand the situation at all.  You may be a wonderfully fit 50 year old, but it’s not your body that they are after.  It’s your wallet, Sweet Pea.  Once you have grasped that fact, you can get back to playing your field, but I suggest you go to another bar, there’s a reasonably large number of them after all, and start again, and if you wish to remain footloose and fancy free, keep moving.
