Shaken and Stirred

What's with men falling for bartenders? After a long relationship or marriage a guy gets suddenly single and finds his next love in the neighborhood watering hole. Is this part of the phenomenon of dating down that has swept American celebritocracy? Tiger Woods couldn't keep his hands of the various waitresses dangling their pencils at him. Same for David Arquette. And what was up with Ethan Hawke and his waitress? Okay, so a bartender is different, but only just. She is cooler. And hell, she pours him a drink and wipes up after him to boot. Sounds perfect, don't it?
Now don't get me wrong. Many a time in my twenties did I find the bartender the only attractive man in the club and yes, I did sleep with one or two, or was it one... In any event, that was in my youth. I'm talking about men in their 40s and 50s. Is it because they are sick of being with women who are peers? Are they afraid of being whipped by an accomplished woman their own age?
Meh. Hey, lady, make it a double...
