Eldergoth storytime!

Waaaay back in the day there was an older gentleman in our local goth club scene who made no attempt to disguise he was a sug*ar da*addy. (I'm censoring terms in hopes of avoiding bot spam.) His relationships generally lasted about a year, and the younger woman who dated him knew exactly what they were getting into. As far as any of us could tell, it wasn't predatory - he was up front about it. Was it still kind of weird? Yes, but I'd rather have someone like that around than the creepers and predatory "nice guys".

So anyway, one night at Ye Olde Spooky Club, his current girl bounced off the dance floor over to where a bunch of us were standing around drinking and gossiping. Mr. Moneybags pulled out his wallet, handed her a stack of bills, and told her to go buy all of us drinks. ("Make sure you get James to bring them over on a tray - you don't need to carry them!")

After she scampered off, he turned to me. "I'm sorry, Jilli. Here, tell Pete I said you should buy yourself something pretty", he said, tucking a $50 into my hatband. "Um", I said. "No, no, don't argue. You deserve a treat."

When I got home and told this story to Pete, he cracked up laughing.

Very weird night, but again, I'd much rather have someone who is clear about their preferences and intention than "nice guys".
