WTF? First it was ISO. Now it’s “GO girl!” Introducing the one magazine that celebrates women over 40. Get a full year free! So, are the market droids assuming that I am a woman over 40, or that I am attracted to women over 40? I hadn’t really thought about age limits, but I don’t think I’ll spend a disproportionate amount of time fantasizing about the 40-plus set yet. Why do I get these offers? Is Nathan a common name for a woman?
Okay, I have to open the envelope and see what they’re pushing. Ah, ageless beauty and style secrets, the good divorce, passing the torch, and lots of shoes. I think there may be a mistake here. First, it turns out the magazine is called more. As in more advertising and more articles that are not relevant to me. Second, I don’t see a single article oriented towards the 36 year-old male computer programmer. Sorry more, but I think I will pass this time. Ask me again in four years when I am actually forty. Maybe by then I’ll be into gender reassignment and interested in your article. In the meantime, I’ll pass the envelope and flyers on to my wife and see if she is interested. Women love it when you claim they are older than they really are, right?
