Sure - she can find them, but the essential question is "Are you a
Cougar"? If she is, they'll be attracted to her, if she isn't.... oh,
well.

You can find them, but they are fast unless you use controlled substances on
them.

I think she was talking mainly about the difference in mindsets,
although having some eye candy around the house is appealing too.

My comfort zone is a lot narrower.

Louise is nine days younger than me. I've dated many and married one
10 years younger. They may look better but this works much better for
me.

My comfort zone is +/-5 years... I don't even want to hang out with
people who are out of my comfort zone... values are too incompatible,
it's like socializing with combative aliens from another planet.

And in the context of pic-a-nics, being passionate about cooking doesn't
mean that I need to be always doing it for everything I eat. In other
words, picking up something from the deli and heading somewhere with them
isn't mutually exclusive with loving cooking. Sometimes there isn't time,
or energy, or hey there can be some really good stuff at the deli. If I
could figure out how to do Genova's artichoke frittata at home, I would.
That, roast beef, and olives and I feel that I have dined like a queen.
I've made food for dining al fresco but that is pretty good.

If you could see a whiteboard, I'd draw the Venn diagrams. It's not as
binary as some people appear to be making it out to be.

It's either binary or it isn't.

I have at the province and here in the city use for picnics - either beach-side or park picnics. We always have fruits in it like bananas, watermelon, ripe mango, oranges and grapes which depend on seasonality of fruits. Sandwiches are always present, pica-pica food like chips, biscuits, sushi, etc. I love cooking but I don't do it when my family is having a picnic but my mom does. I just prepare sandwich spread and buy some finger-foods at night before the picnic day.
