Young women keep getting a crush on me. What can I change about myself to stop that nonsense? I have been using this curse to tell them about Jesus.

Become a grouchy old man like me. I don’t have that problem.

Man....I wish I had your problem. Sounds like the best "curse" I've ever heard of.

Actually, I can see how it can be an issue and a problem when one is a married man. I don’t have that problem, because I am a grouch, but I am sure my wife wouldn’t like it very much if I did.

Just keep talking about your wife and how much you love and adore her and couldn't imagine life without her.

Start driving a dark coloured cargo van with tinted windows, grow a low ponytail, Brylcream your hair straight back from your face, wear a polyester pantsuit with a flowered rayon shirt open to the naval and several large gold chains. Problem solved.

Seriously, though... How do you know they have a crush on you? Are they telling you they do?

And if you're not comfortable with the attention of younger women, why are you still spending time around younger women?

Oh, he's married. I didn't even notice it said that under his profile picture. Well yeah, if you're married, I can see how that would be a problem.

Let's see, so you're having problems with young women getting crushes on you, you, an older, married man? Are you telling them about Jesus then in hopes that they will go away (because that would probably work, most of the time anyway).

If not, just stop showering and using deodorant altogether. Problem solved (and you'll save money to boot).

Yes, they are telling me. I found that they are attracted to me because of my positive attitudes while dealing with Cancers and a degenerative bone disease. Plus many other challenges like being a care giver for other seniors. They often ask about the source of my positive thinking and I share Jesus.

I am a former Master Teacher from Kindergarten through all levers of College and University.

Chew tobacco and drool it, and don't brush your teeth. Always a winner!

Any woman who gets too friendly with me, unless she is both friends with my wife as well as me, my wife refers to her as "that woman!" When she says that, I know that her claws are about to come out. She once told me that if any other woman gets her hooks into me, she was scratch her eyes out!"

There is a woman who is an elder in my church and she is a friend to both of us and when she ring us, my wife says, "It is your friend on the phone." That is the difference.

My aunt tells me I'm twisted in the DNA
Well, God gave you a new heart and a new spirit, so maybe He'll also untangle some of those DNA strands for you as well someday.

Hey, wait a minute, I just checked my jeans err, genes, and my DNA is twisted too :scratch: YIKES, what's goin on here :eek:
