Ten things an older man must never say to a younger woman:
1) I’m dying!
2) I can’t hear what you’re saying!
3) How many fingers are you holding up?
4) Listen to my heart.
5) Take my pulse.
6) What’s your name?
7) Is it cold in here?
8) Is it hot in here?
9) Are you in here?
10) What wings are those beating at the window?
Not that a man should stress his youth in a dishonest way
But that he should not unduly emphasize his age.
Kenneth Koch, “The Art of Love”
