A penchant for older men? And are they actually control freaks?

My answer to this question is that the 40 year old woman should have 22 years more life experience on her side. If it wears on her like 5 miles of bad road that's not going to be much help to her, aesthetically speaking. My experience with 18 year old females is to avoid them except as TV characters.

They are fun to watch but I'd not want one for my own.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
