I am curious. I ran through my memory bank of "man taking shirt off" images, sorted for "around age 60 or older" and came up empty on "truly visible abs", although the early retired 56 year old who spent a great deal of his free time biking (but unfortunately had no truly visible books in his home
) kind of came close. His abs weren't visible in in the sense of "can easily be counted", but they were still (or again) flat and functional enough for the purposes of the kind of 1970s era sexual style/moves that are perhaps best associated with the artwork produced in conjunction with the 1971 release of the album "Sticky Fingers" by the Rolling Stones. Since I dabble a bit in amateur sexual historical theory, and this 56-year-old-bicyclist's sex style was just a bit off for someone born in 1959 (Late Boomer era, U.S.), I asked him how old he was at the time of his first sexual encounter and he replied "13", so I was once again strongly affirmed in my hypotheses. Anyways, IDave and I are just good old frugal-people-book-group/salon-buddies, but I did come up with a scheme that might make good use of this resource ( his abs) for our mutual benefit. The two of us can go out and about together in mutual-wing-human formation. He will subtly flash his abs, thereby attracting the entire pool of Level 6-8 females away from the pool of Level 6-8 males, leaving that field wide open for me. You may wonder what benefit IDave might derive from this scheme? Well, clearly, his communication within his journal indicates that his sense of responsibility is holding him back from partaking in short-term encounters, but when he observes all the females who are willing/wanting to sexually objectify him even though we were pretending like we were a couple when we first arrived at the venue (like they might even calculating "She's too chubby for him." as they make their bold and brassy assertive well-preserved-kitten-with-claws-sheathed moves while I visit the restroom and play a few rounds of Angry Birds and/or provide live feed to forum), his perception may shift more towards, "These ladies be sharp-eyed adults capable of contracting on clear terms." Then after IDave exits with one (or two?) of the Pilates-Kittens, I will see if I can get one of the recently divorced Smile-Sweetheart guys to buy me some free Thai food. So Win-Win.
Of course, IDave will have to let me know what era/style of female partner(s) he would prefer for brief encounter, Pilates-Kitten circa 1975 was just a first rough quite generalized approximation, so I can appropriately advise him on style and the manner in which he will perform the subtle flashing of his abs. Actually, I guess for some style/eras of females, the flashing wouldn't even have to be subtle, I was likely projecting a bit of my preference with that, but it is clearly also the case that Pilates-Kitten '75 is not very likely to go for a gentleman wearing a hacked off wife-beater. No, I'm thinking it's going to have to be something like "pulling the classic knit sweater off over his head, because it's warm in the venue, and the soft underlayer is a bit clingy, so it tries to come off with the sweater, revealing his abs above the dark denim through which his heavy leather belt has been buckled just loose enough to provide for just enough exposure to cause the Pilates-Kittens to question whether he is running comando and dart their glances even lower. We might need to do a few practice run-throughs in the produce aisle at Whole Foods before hitting prime time venue.
