. I am learning a bit of classical Greek stuff <shrug> as a bit of a mini side hobby. Not anything serious, like university-level stuff. Just a few random "toe dips" in the water... A bit like 'early dating' of the subject matter to see if there are any sparks there or not. A sort of academic reading version of a few coffees and chats to see if a serious hard dirty fuck with the subject might happen in future. . Honestly, once you can read well enough - You don't need further education - you can just learn stuff yourself by getting hold of the right text. Either as a book, from libraries and charity shops or text online. - Why would I chase "official qualifications" at My age anyway! - When it's only the actual knowledge that I want? That would be like buying an extremely expensive diploma degree COW when I can get the MILK of knowledge and perspective for FREE!

BECAUSE WAS A MALE ESCORT THAT HAD SO MUCH SEX WITH SO MANY WOMEN when I was much younger - I KNOW the difference all too well between having sex with someone you love and just sex! - So, in an age where trust is hard to find in a future love. - I am far more likely to trust a woman who has already "done it all" over a romance with a so-called-"respectable woman" who might still be curious or still likes an ego boost! - I am far more likely to trust a woman who has been a former sex worker or a porn star. . - When sex outside of love becomes truly dull? When emotionless sex seems just like work and not a novelty anymore? When the only sex you Now want, is Sex with an emotional connection! THEN You Only ever want to be faithful to the person you love. Because anything less is no longer erotic! . - In short - Yes, I would date a woman with

I always wondered why local prostitutes were so integral to local water distribution! ...And why there was always such a thirst-quenching prostitute hanging about in their backyard all the time, back when they were just kids. I thought there must be a very common yet unspoken, dark-as-all-hell, family secret! ? - Turns out, I was just mishearing what was being said by my Boomer elders the entire time! !

You have to do what is right AND then pay all the debts due! ! .
