Come on guys. Huffpost? You know this is going to be feminazi SJW bullsh!t.
All of this stuff is pretty age-independent, though. Clean up, dress well, look as physically appealing as possible, and yeah, pay for the 1st date. You're the man. You lead, protect, and provide. The optimally attractive man is alpha bux. And I don't wanna hear this fvcking sh!t from the kids on this forum "ooohh you're a cuck for paying! That's beta! Wah wah wah!" And if you're over 50 and can't afford the whole tab, you have way bigger problems in life.
Lol political views? As I get older I'm more interested in what's in the fridge than what's on the news.
I can also kind of see how a 50-year old grandma doesn't want some dude sucking on her neck and rubbing up her poon in an alleyway outside of a bar. Maybe though.
