The idea came to me while watching a DVD of &quot;The Producers&quot;, in which  the character played by Zero Mostel (like me, an old red) romances old ladies to  raise money for his new theatre production.&nbsp; That&#8217;s what I do, only without the  production.&nbsp; I offer my services to the 65-and-up woman (that&#8217;s the new 40, by  the way) who may find herself in need of male companionship of one sort or  another every now and then.&nbsp; Sometimes cuddling is involved, and they seldom  want more than that.&nbsp; Anyway, who can&#8217;t use a good cuddle every now and  then?<\/p>\n<p>I have been doing this for several years and have been taking  careful notes on what works and what does not.&nbsp; I&#8217;m ready to share my  experiences and am searching for a publisher who would be interested in helping  me disseminate my hard-won knowledge to others.&nbsp; Do you perchance have any  friends in publishing who would be interested in such a work?&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>Whether  you do or do not, I think that being a FancyMan might be the ticket out of  poverty for you.&nbsp; LA has lots of former alpha-women of a certain age who are  past their divorce and have all the money in the world, but no man with whom to  enjoy it.&nbsp; You could be that man Luke, and be living a good life, with lots of  free time left over for studying the Talmud.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><!--adsense--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reb Hymen writes Luke: I must admit to being of two minds on your recent attempt to monetize your web site (which is what we AARP folk call blogs).&nbsp; On the one hand, it increasingly looks like a mess, a &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/?p=1942\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[210],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1942","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-dating"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1942","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1942"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1942\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1942"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1942"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1942"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
