Someone (perhaps it was Friedman in his book _The_Lonely_Guy's_Guide_to_Life_)
suggested that it might be a good idea to ask out models in their late 20's,
since at that age they are beginning to realize that they "cannot continue
acting that way forever."

I think we should also feel sorry for people who are not crippled
at a young age.  Crippled people are better able to accept and
accomodate themselves to the infirmities of old age, whereas a
normal person who loses his mobility in old age often gets depressed
and loses the will to live.
