"She admires the gray hair and your pretty belly." A man on the charms of the novel with a young

Our columnist Alexander Zantovich, knowing that he is a married man, carefully discusses the achievement of novels for young people.

After studying at university, I went there for many years to play basketball. And here's an amazing thing: every year, girls have become more beautiful. Long could not find any explanation for this phenomenon, and then I understood. It's the same as in this joke: "Alas, women are getting older and third graders never are."

Now, when my beard is gray, she would usually be lost in this flower garden. For young virgins, it's adorable!

They have a property as nice as the youth. From this, many of their places are resilient, unaltered by gravity, the skin is tender, the lips of all. With the charm of youth, it is absolutely impossible to fight. Yes, and desire, to be honest, no. Men on these quite avid charms, ask anybody when his wife is not there.

You know, it's nice to think, on a cloudy day, that it would be good to stir up a young person, as they say. As she looks you in the eyes. How admired the flight of your thoughts: "My God, you are so well read, so intelligent!" How she admires the gray hair and your pretty belly.

Well, you can dream!

Of course you can. But God forbid us to move on to these senile erotic dreams.

Because with the girls it will be difficult.

I will not even mention that your union looks, to put it nicely, unsightly (even if it seems to have mentioned it). Even the talented intelligent Woody Allen alongside his young wife seems totally inappropriate.

You see, couples where a man is a lot older than a girl look disgusting. Well, if they dine peacefully in a cafe or walk in the park (she supports him not to fall). Or spend time at home, without attracting public attention. But this is not always the case.

Because they are active! At home, they are bored. They always want to go somewhere: to the club, to the disco, to the birthday of a girlfriend or to the parachute jump. And if, in public, you are easier, just support a dozen judgments of strangers! That among friends who are all his age, but with guys the same age, you will look like a silly idiot. However, as well as dancing on the dance floor and in many other public places.

Second warning: if you want, you do not want to and you have to talk about something with a girl. About The new generation has set up smartphones and video streaming. They want everything from life and preferably immediately. There is no time for such a trash, how to read. And I'm not even talking about Dostoevsky or, say, Pelevin. She did not even read Coelho, the quotes she likes so much to hang on the wall. Why are there books, even articles like this, do not read the title and the pictures any further.

The young woman lives in social networks. Facebook is considered obsolete. "VKontakte" – actually too. We need options with minimal text or even its complete absence, like a snapshot. Photo, story – it's his language of communication with the world. From there, there is some nervousness, there is no point near the free wifi. It makes no sense to go to the gym, if you do not take a selfie in the mirror in profile, pulling the belly. Food, which is not shared with followers, is usually a sin.

Through his constant presence on the Web, he becomes hungry for all trends, like the pink salt of the Himalayas. Which, by the way, is not better than usual, and it is actually not Himalayan, but the Pakistani in general.

And music. There will also be something popular, popular, Egor Creed or Coin. And even the work of these artists, she will listen only compositions for which there are clips on YouTube.

In general, there will be a complete cultural shift.

Young girls are boringly free. The fact is that they were born late. They did not catch the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. They did not go to kindergarten with the same sandals and dresses, did not enter the school building by columns of two, did not know the deficit and the card system, they did not understand how it's going – eat chicken on vacation.

It seems to them that everything in life is possible and for the most part without much difficulty. And if you do not like something, you can easily change it. It is useless to explain to them the obligations, responsibilities and projects of the year. They are always ahead, which means you can try new things, throw them, try something else … They are as light and careless as butterflies.

There is nothing wrong with that. It should be so. A simple look at things will greatly confuse with yours.

In general, the conceptual layers in which you and youth exist are completely different. It is impossible to explain to him the charms of the old Soviet films, why AC / DC and Pink Floyd are interesting, or what the first Mikhalok reacts to in the soul. They will not understand why to read large books, what is the beauty of a weekend on the forgotten lakes of God, where not only there is no wifi, but in general there is no web. It's hard to explain why you sometimes have to think, understand and deepen without believing in everything that's written on the Internet.

In other words, if we consider the issue seriously and not as a hobby, it will be difficult.

And the most interesting – why is it all. Or rather why. Yes, young girls are charming: the diktats of youth have always been and, I fear, will always be. The marketers of the world will never allow us to be content with our appearance and our age. And then cosmetics, plastic surgeon services and my favorite micellar water will stop being sold (they will offer such nonsense!). As a result, we will of course continue to admire the slender, slender deer jumping around them, hitting them afterwards.

But why does a mature man need such a woman?

So it seems to me that she did not see him young. When he was himself light and thin, but also superficial, stupid, inexperienced young person suffering from acne, Adam's apple and thin outlook. She does not know how he asked for money at a disco to his parents, how he got drunk in the yard with the same green friends, with what anger he communicated with the female bad without knowing how to open a bottle of wine.

She's ready right now. Hardened, experienced, competent, rich. He is so different from his peers even without doing anything. Just because it is.

And for a man, it's very practical. You are respected, you are valued, you are admired. The girl can indulge herself with a trifle like a new blouse, savvy advice or tickets to a rapper's concert.

"Oh, what a cool car you have! Are you really the boss? Is this good of course!

This is to say that a story of love with a young person is like that. When you are tired of hearing your wife's reproaches, when you are not praised enough, when you feel dissatisfied with your personality and you have an urgent need to prove that you are still so crazy! A very primitive way to raise self-esteem is to change your companion into a young man who slaps his eyes and listens to you, opening your pretty mouth.

So, of course, more enjoyable and easier! It's much easier than working on oneself, growing on oneself, working on relationships with your wife, who knows you as a glitter because she has seen you before all that brilliance.

But it seems to me that choosing between a simple and complex method is where you have to choose a complex method. This is the only way to be true intimacy and mutual understanding. In this way, there will be something to talk about, cry and laugh. Only then will we understand allusions, citation contexts, fragments of ancient anecdotes – all these half-tints of intellectual communication. It is only in this way that the temperaments, the landmarks, the goals and the paths that lead to them will coincide.

And the nymphs – let them wander! They will have their own happiness, another, understandable. Let them go, it's nice to see!
