GP said something to me yesterday that I've been thinking about. He said that one of the things that really "sold" him on me was that after our second date I jokingly said that we had to keep dating because we looked so good together. The reason I said this was that we clearly got a lot of attention when out in public together because we are inter-racial and we are 6'5" and 6'2" since I was wearing high heels. Also, we both tend towards being muscular(his 500 push-ups, my Denise Austin routine) and looking kind of "tough" (his Native American heritage, my Slavic heritage).

Anyway, it turns out that the reason why he liked that I said this was really that he likes the fact that I am rather sexually "object oriented" for a woman. Like pretty much every guy over 50 he is semi-obsessed with health issues. So, his reasoning is along the lines of - Mojo likes sex- Mojo likes sex with man with biceps- I like sex with Mojo therefore I must keep biceps- In order to keep biceps, I must continue to exercise- If I continue to exercise at Mojo-pleasing-bicep-level, my overall health will stay excellent- If my overall health stays excellent, I will reach my goal of living to see my S12 turn 50 when I am 90- therefore, dating Mojo is good for my health.
