The Bearded Epiphany

I would like to note here, right off the get go- that I in fact -

1. Smiled @ a stranger :)
2. Complimented some friends - yesterday. THUS! I am indeed off to a fan-nominal start to my; Best Summer EVER!

With this out of the way, I would also like to proceedeth.

So, it is no hidden, secret, the fact that I am not  really dating much... or have ever really done much dating... ALSO I do believe it is common knowledge to my Friends that I have no concept/natural ability to "flirt."

Very few have probably ever heard me mention that I find a man "sexy."  Let me assure you, I find MEN, amazingly attractive.  However, the common words; Cute, Sexy, Fit, Hot,  or Beautiful just don't come to mind when I see a guy I think is; Attractive, Gorgeous, or if I'm not caught off guard by his rugged good looks just, Handsome.

Today, it came to me, why this is. Like a child discovering mixing blue and Yellow make Green. Everything becomes clear! Clearer then the glass cups you leave in the dish washer to try and get the remaining soap residue off!

Let me share a story. It is very short, I am very short. This works!
____-Story-____
Today, at work I was sitting at my desk minding my own business, when in comes an handsome man. I think to myself, as I have before, he's pretty good looking-aww he even has eye smiles! (Eye smiles are the lines/wrinkles some peoples eyes make when they smile! ... I looove them!)

So- he would like his password reset, I can do this a few ways but i will just cover
1. Verifying his date of birth - 1974....

You do the math, he would be 12 years older then me...
----End

There have been laughs here and there, with me finding men with facial hair gorgeous or even just, attractive. I've seen the same men without facial hair, and - really most men NEED it. Some can pass without, but for the most part, it's essential for my unconscious attraction to them.

This, I have known- it is FACT. Proven, researched-test-KNOWN and not what I realized.

Here are some things I considered.
Russell Crowe - Gorgeous (Only w/facial hair)
The Poop-Dave -  Handsome -  However, should never-ever-ever grow facial hair

Liev Schreiber - Glorious (Even w/o facial hair~)
Gerard Butler -  Lovely (5am shadow preferred but not necessary)
This one Guy I'm thinking of - but will not be named (only Ali knows.. maybe Doug if he remembers) - Attractive ( Should not be allowed to own a razor, only a pair of scissors to keep it neat~)
This one Professor - Good Looking (unless clean shaven)

The Guy I mentioned Earlier

Okay, I'm out of good synonyms that I would potentially use, and I really don't follow actors at all, but for the sake of the easyness of picturing these people, there they are.

Aside from the facial hair requirements- which I may add are different for each individual, they are all significantly older. I'm not going to even figure out how much older, because it is irrelevant. 

This is my Epiphany: I find older men attractive, more attractive then men my own age. Face value, no words spoken- the silver hairs in their side burns get me I guess. They add to the character that I don't know of him, but it draws me to want to know more.

I do however, find some men my own age endearing, a few attractive or handsome. Yet for the most part most don't WOW  me right at first, and it isn't until I get to know their personalities that they then become, the-stop-me-in-my-tracks-stunning-status.

So since women live longer then men (apparently?), I better find an older-looking-than-you-are-Russell-Crowe-LDS-lookalike !!
