How to Impress a woman

When I was 15yrs old a met a guy and was impressed after only a few minutes of talking to him. He showed me a great deal of respect and kindness. We married when I was 20 years old and he still shows me the same kindness and respect.

One of the best things about meeting at an early age is the lack of "baggage" that you're both carrying around with you. This can be a purity that disappears as life goes on. I don't even remember the word "pre-nup" back in the 50's when I met my wife-to-be. Never heard my folks or relatives use the term.

My wife was a bit older than you, Sassycakes. She's just turned 17 and I was 19. We dated for 2 years , were engaged for 6 months and then married in 1956.

I've always thought that rushing into marriage, like so many do today, can lead to problems later on. We can "fake it" and behave well around the girl and her family, for maybe 6 months. After that, for most of us, our true self appears. In quick marriages, it's too late by then and folks just hope that they can adjust to this different person than the one they thought they'd married.

I'm still on my best behavior lest my wife tosses me aside for a younger man. Maybe someone in their late 70's or early 80's. o_O

I was reading another topic and made me think of all the things I have done to impress a woman. Some worked and some did not but I am 66 and been single awhile. The things I used to do do not seem like a good idea anymore. I remember when pulling a wheelie on my bicycle was worth a few points. Not something I would try now unless I thought I could get some loving care after the crash. I once did a strip tease jumping over the campfire that got a lot of attention but I am not as much of a chiseled physical specimen as I once was.
Hey guys, help me out here what have you tried that might impress a Senior Woman.

I think it is endearing to even ask this question Jondalar7. Here's hoping your efforts pan out :)
 
Some scientific research on the thread topic:

Quote:
"The theory of sexual selection provides a framework for understanding human mating strategies (Darwin, 1871). Sexual selection consists of two evolutionary processes by which traits evolve as a consequence of mating advantage. Intrasexual selection involves the evolution of traits that facilitate successful same-sex competition. Those who best their intrasexual rivals have a mating advantage over those who lose these competitions. Intersexual selection involves the evolution of mate preferences and their effects. If members of one sex display some consensus about the qualities desired in the opposite sex, and the qualities desired have a non-zero heritable component, then those of the opposite sex who possess the desired qualities have a mating advantage."

Do you know if there's a version of that quote in English?
