Aren't you glad you aren't her?  She sounds miserable.

I don’t like innuendo. A woman at work did that a lot.  She was always implying things about other people that weren’t true.  I learned to tune her out.  Life is hard enough without people spreading false and malicious rumors.  It serves no purpose other than to cause harm.   It speaks volumes about talebearer.

Maybe if she had a boyfriend, she wouldn't be thinking about other peoples' secks lives.

I went to a talk where the speaker was in his late 80's.  He had a female assistant in her mid to late 20's. 

A gal that was at my table said "Well, we all know what that is about,  she must get very well paid to give him s*xual pleasure".  I was speechless.   She didn't know the speaker or the young assistant at all.   

I never thought anything of the sort - nor did the team come across as romantic lovers. 

I know the woman who made the remark has never had a beau, boyfriend, lover, or ever been married.  She's 58 and doesn't need to be thinking such things. 


Your last line sums it up.

It's one thing to think it, but to say it in front of strangers. She needs a filter.

I just want to know what sort of "things" a woman should not be thinking about at age 58.  I find that to be a very interesting statement.

What in the world!   58 is young and vibrant these days....the new 40.   Any why shouldn't a 58 yr old think about "such things?" She isn't dead. That puritan thinking is so 1940.

Do you remember the scene in "Blind Side" when Sandra Bullock was having lunch with her friends and the one says something about the risk of having Sandra's daughter in the same home as her foster child Michael?  Sandra shut her down by saying "shame on you", meaning shame for even thinking such a thing.

 

People who say such things are revealing something about themselves, not about others.
