Should I Take (Advantage Of) This Trip?
Chemistry. You've heard that word before, and no doubt you've experienced it for yourself. That's the best word I know to describe sexual tension / attraction between two people.
I vividly remember facilitating a project meeting (during Rob's architecture career) at a Mississippi university 10+ years ago. There were 6-8 of us in the conference room of the Physical Plan, and partway through the meeting, a lovely young lady was invited in. She was a campus museum curator, and now in attendance because the university-owned museum (that she oversaw) would be impacted by said construction project in the near future. Therefore, we felt compelled to include her early on within the planning stages in order minimize disruption for her department.
I immediately took note of the chemistry between her and one of the young engineers in the room. It was easy to spot as they dialogued regarding scheduling / logistical coordination pertaining to the project scope. Looking back, I've often wondered if they ever followed up with each other after the fact.
Body language, pupils, facial expressions are dead giveaways to chemistry.
-------------------------
My oldest daughter has a pronounced impact on certain men. Even when she was in early high school and still wearing braces, I'd witness younger men react "chemistrially" to her presence. Because she was a minor (& I was present), you could clearly see their discomfort as they wrestled with the situation, they now found themselves within.
An old Samson friend used to react the same way around her (he hasn't seen her for many years). Even with his own wife / children present. It was always amusing to me due to the fact that I knew his porn diet consisted solely of "Barely Legal / Girls Next Door" models.
-------------------------
On the opposite end of the spectrum is chemistry between younger men and older women.
Here's another memory: my second (sophomore year) potluck college roommate once bragged about having a sexual relationship with one of his friend's moms. This guy looked far older than he was, primarily due to his hugely muscular build. That, combined with his overall machismo, lead me to not question his track record in spite of how uncomfortable it made me whilst ruminating on.
Similarly, I have friends now within Samson Society who've admitted to bedding older women, many of which were married (at the time) and mothers.
-------------------------
I serve as a board member of a local (community) volunteer organization. I ended up therein by providence, having run-into the org's tenured director (she resides within a neighboring community) one Sunday morning whilst out running (exercising).
As I came to know the director better, I began to see how much I admired her commitment to this org and subsequently to the community she and I both have been longstanding members of (which the org directly serves). This woman is highly intelligent / driven / passionate. As such, she talks incessantly about whatever's on the forefront of her prefrontal cortex (which is A LOT).
It didn't take me long to sense the chemistry between us (much moreso on her end than mine).
I've been serving as a board member for most of '22, and though she and I haven't worked directly on any projects throughout this calendar year, she's beginning to propose that we do (in '23).
Know too that this wonderful lady is retired and serving as her (almost entirely homebound) husband's full-time caregiver. They've had a long, successful marriage, but unfortunately at the present, his health is failing rapidly. She, on the opposite end of the spectrum, is as vibrant and youthful as ever.
So, I know what you're thinking. What does she look like?
She's pretty hot for a grandmother. In fact, she's the hottest grandmother, by far, that I've seen in some time (other than my mom who obviously CANNOT / WILL NOT count).
-------------------------
During our last board meeting (a few weeks back), an out-of-state regional retreat was discussed. It quickly became apparent that it was a retreat (hosted within the larger eco-system of the org itself) that someone needed to attend from our board. I spoke up to represent our group, and soon thereafter duly coordinated my '23 calendar accordingly to accommodate the two-day excursion. The aforementioned director regretted not being able to attend (ailing husband). As such, my commitment to do so was warmly received by everyone in attendance.
Yesterday, (12/15) I received an email from our director stating that she'd like to attend too.
?!?
[I couldn't help but be reminded of my mother's adulterous trysts with her boss 40 years ago (I was 10 years-old at the time) during out-of-town trips to the Mississippi Gulf Coast.]
The director went on to say that her husband "used to" accompany her on trips like these.
?!?
I replied to her email with the following: "I only agreed to attend the regional conference in your absence, therefore once you make a final decision on attending, if you're unable to go, I'll gladly sign up to represent [the org] during that event. I have coordinated my work schedule accordingly, therefore I'm on standby to sign-up. There's no need to expend [our org's] resources for two reps to attend."
Thanks mom (for the memories)!
