What does the Old Lady/Young Lady Paradigm mean?

It's used to illustrate the idea that you can see things more than one way and be correct both ways.  If I recall, the Seven Habits describes it pretty well.

In today's world, it means that a bunch old men should have sex sex with innocent and young girls. \nBack then, IDK. I hope it doesn't mean the same thing.

Some people have the misconception that age = wisdom.

Key word is grandma.  They grew up in a different generation, with different views of the world and different views and attitudes impressed upon them by society when they were younger and more impressionable.

The actual definition is "A woman who has remained single past the conventional age of marrying". I don't fully understand what you are asking. Could you add more detail?

From the Geriatric Tactics Manual GM-25, ed. 1999...\n\n"...as elderly people often regress mentally into a childlike state, appropriate tactics to dealing witha difficult child can be used.....when the elderly patient is difficult or erascible, it is often because they are tired. In these cases, it is an acceptable tactic to set the clocks forward a couple of hours and use a rerun of Matlock to lull them to sleep...." (no nasty emails please, I'm just the messenger).\n\nI would say that while dishonesty is a sin in any form, I don't think the sin-o-meter will spin very hard against you on this one.  Grandma needs her sleep.  You need your sanity.

Well, I'm a gerontology student. To me, age is nothing but a number. Yes, it is true that most companies/govt/policies ect, consider 65 year olds "senior citizens". But don't buy into the typical characteristics of what that means. I think it is awesome that you are active and still feel and act "young". Don't buy into the stereotypes. Aging as we know it is rapidly changing.

Nordstrom's model of highly focused customer service implies they are targeting frequent, comparatively wealthy shoppers.  In demographic terms, probably looking at 30-60 year old middle- to upper-middle class women.

i think they feel more appreciated. older women are more appreciative of little things than younger women, and they understand a little bit better what it takes to be a good gf/wife than a younger woman might. This is just a guess, of course

Hun I'm a very old fashioned girl, but in no way am I easily manipulated either. I am not into feminism because I think that's kind of lesbianish (not that I have anything against them), I do believe in equal rights though. Old fashioned does not mean we have to deal with all the things women had to deal with in the past. Sharing housework, well, I don't care for that, I'm a perfectionist and a clean freak, so when it comes to that, I need to do things my way or no way *lol*. I do believe in speaking my mind, but that doesn't mean I am going to stop being old fashioned. Do you really want someone old fashioned, or do you want someone you can manipulate?

Robert Heinlein answered this question pretty well, I think. He said that the younger generation can never really believe that the older generation was ever young. That they believe the strictures, rules, and mores of the elderly come not from wisdom and experience, but rather from inflexibility and incomprehension of the younger generation's situation. I once tentatively asked my grandpa how I could please my girlfriend, and found he had stories and personal examples that would make your local smut-peddler blush.

Women have done it... but think of it this way, when your child is in high school, the woman will be turning 70.  That's very hard on a child, to lose their parents so early, plus, having low energy and being slow and elderly also have a great impact.  I think it's better to examine why a woman may want a child, a new born baby, when they are turning 50.  Is it a mid-life self-fulfilling prophecy? It always depends on the individuals, but I would venture to say it could do more harm then good to the child.

Because a young person's frame of reference relative to time is very short while an older person's is much broader with presumably a more mature appreciation of things past and events to come. When you have more years behind you than you can reasonably expect ahead of you ,then it gives one an entirely different perspective of the term 'time' . I can only advise that time is a thief; if you have dreams then the time to act on them is NOW. You really don't 'have all the time in the world'.

A 'new' paradigm in medicine is the "Inflammation theory of cardiovascular disease".  This has replaced the outdated "Cholesterol/lipids theory".  Sadly, it will take most doctors, the media, and most 'laypersons' about 50 years to learn the 'new paradigm' (this is known in medical research as the '50 year rule' because it generally takes 50 years for new scientific research to be accepted and integrated into 'clinical medicine'.)\n\nBest wishes.

Juventus owe their "Vecchia Signora" (Old Lady) title to the simple reason they are the oldest of the great Italian clubs, founded in 1897. Why Lady, and not a Gentleman? Because "Juventus" (Youth) is a latin word of feminine gender.

It's called reproduction.  Younger women are more likely to be able to bear children.  It's "wired" in.

Yes and No,is easy and eager to understand and handle younger women.\nIs not easy even eager to understand and handle mature women,cause you don't know what are they thinking.\nIs very easy to understand and handle older women,but men are not eager to understand.
