There is an epidemic that has hit Asbury Park. And sad to say, there's no antibiotics to take so you won't catch it.
This epidemic, it seems, is a direct result of experiencing some sort of mid-life crisis. Maybe someone can explain to me how some individuals in the gay community find it desirable to "date" someone almost half their age, and then decide to act like they are still in junior high school.
They will start knock-down, dragged out arguments and battles right out in public, and then become offended when people who actually have common sense will let them know that their actions are unacceptable.
Older men who are well past their prime should find it appropriate to actually act like grown gentlemen; I, personally, find an older gentleman who acts their age - with some distinguished grey - very attractive. That, my dears, is actually my type of man.
But for a few of you older men entrenched in a mid-life crisis around Asbury Park, you have this warped confusion that you are actually being "fun". Well no, it's not "fun and carefree" ... it's tragic for others in the community to have to witness this train wreck.
But rest assured, there is a way to avoid falling victim to this epidemic. You can either have friends who will give you a stiff lecture and let you know you are acting the fool. Or you can just maintain a high level of sanity, have a mid-life crisis like a true gentleman, and let the community breathe a sigh of relief when you are around.
Guys, you don't have to prove how youthful and desirable you are by blindly running around this city and embarassing yourselves. Plus, once you demonstrate these tragic qualities about yourself, your reputation in Asbury Park will be forever destroyed. People in this city have a long memory, and you will always be known as "that old queen who had to get tossed out of that bar or restaurant for getting into an altercation with their twink boyfriend"!
Now I'm not saying that older men should never go out with younger guys. I'm just saying that if you do decide to go that route, just remember to behave with proper decorum and carry yourself as a gentleman.
I don't think I can take seeing one more older guy acting like a broke-down queen chasing after a bitchy twink ever again.
Respect yourself. Simple as that.
