I am sure he just meant they run a bit slower...
The issue here (if and to the extent that there really is one) is not about how fit certain women over the age of 40 might be or indeed whether, as j_menz suggested, "some women in their 40s give many women in their 20s a run for their money"
but about the appropriateness or otherwise of harbouring and/or expressing feelings (if that is indeed what they are) for a married woman of 40+ on a public internet forum as repeatedly as has been done here.
[To see who that is, go here: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000932/]A celebrity hasn't made it until they've got their own stalker.
Actually, it was me who suggested this because I thought some remarks about women of 40+ could be understood negatively. Sorry for the off-topic.As to this issue, I can only react in good humor and congratulate Valentina:Paul
Hey I'm not a freaking stalker!!!
In the beauty stakes, Lisitsa is good to average at best.
I see prettier women serving at McDonalds.

Indeed, but is Lisitsa any good at serving a Breakfast Meal??Thal
Whats so great about the breakfast meal?
The hash browns of course
Really? Having prepared by someone other than yourself.
Well, our resident alleged stalker should know this already, having made more than a mere hash of his imagined relationship with a certain female pianist and ensuring that most of us here are thoroughly browned off with repeatedly hearing about it.Best,Alistair
I'm not a freaking stalker!!!
This thread is still alive?Seriously why can't this be locked or something. Nobody. Cares. At. All.
Anyways, the original purpose of this thread is to promote Valentina Lisitsa
because I think she's a pretty good pianist
and I am in love with her
I'll have to save my lunch money for three days.
Good lord, it really is love!
So are you really seriously trying to persuade us all that Valentina Lisitsa is under-promoted? I would have thought that, in some respects, she's done more self-promotion than most artists!She's not bad; there are plenty worse and plenty better.But she doesn't even know that, does she? (and nor, I assume, does her husband)...Best,Alistair
I'm not saying that she's under-promoted.
OK, then just what are you saying? And why do you persist in these inanely repetitious declarations of "love" for someone whom you've never met and who's married to someone else? What's the point (if any) that you're trying to make?Best,Alistair
That's why it's 7 pages long right? If you don't like it, then just don't read it.Anyways, the original purpose of this thread is to promote Valentina Lisitsa because I think she's a pretty good pianist, and I am in love with her. Notice how I don't bump this thread unless I think there's something worth posting, or if I'm replying to someone.ANYWAYS, I'm buying this once I get some money. I'll have to save my lunch money for three days.
It's perfectly normal for the very young to "be in love" with people they have never met ot that are in other ways an impossible target.
Originally I was the first person to post to this thread. But I realized that you aren't just posting here to promote a great painist, which I think Valentina is. Instead, I see this thread as turning into a great example of how immature you are and something that if I had started I wish would be erased from the internet.You are NOT in love with Valentina Lisista. You are not. I honestly do not care what you say. You are a teenager who probably has never experienced what love actually is and instead are mistaking infatuation for love.Would you take a bullet for Valentina? Would you willingly give up your life so that she would live? Honestly, love is an EXTREMELY serious word that we are just throwing around here without any regard to. You do NOT love her. Love is an EXTREMELY serious word. Please do not devalue it by using it for a crush or infatuation. And also do not respond with, "You just don't understand." Yes we do. We've all been there because we've all been your age. I got dumped by a girl I thought I was going to spend the rest of my life with two years ago, which was when I was the same age as you. You think you have love understood at that age and you really don't. If you would like to turn this thread into about how Valentina is a great pianist, FINE. I'd be all for that. She is by far one of my favorite pianists. As of right now, I am ashamed to have posted here before. It soils the value of the word love and the reputation of Valentina Lisitsa.
Don't tell me what I'm here to do or what my feelings are.If you don't like this thread, then just don't pay attention to it. Or just don't pay attention to the title.You're the immature one for whining over nothing.Douchebag.
honestly...rach 4 is showing dedication, personality and strength. He knows she is married, and older and whatever...He has a vision of what he respects and appreciates, and obviously piano is important to him and he looks up to her for her abilities. The thread mostly involved conversation, and discussion of Lisitsa's most appreciated trait-her pianistic abilities and virtuosity. This is not a "I don't appreciate Lisitsa so I will flame anyone who likes her for any reason" thread...You must be really old school. If this thread was about Arthur Rubinstein, I wonder what you would respond with...
Now there's an attitude of mind that will surely endear itself to Ms Lisitsa; not.No one is telling you what you should and should not do, nor even what your feelings should or should not be but, since you've made so much here of your alleged "love" for this pianist (as distinct from your admiration for her playing, which I don't particularly share, but that's neither here nor there, really), you must expect that others here might feel inclined (as indeed they have) to comment upon your remarks and that what you write will likely invite disagreeing and possibly disagreeable (to you) responses. The facts are that (a) you are not personally acquainted with one another personally and have never even met, (b) she is married, (c) if you did meet her it is unlikely that you would declare your alleged "love" for her to her and (d) you probably know very little about her as a person, which you'd really need to do in order to ascertain whether or not you "love" her. What you seem to have instead is a mere infatuation with your perceived image of her solely on the basis of her playing (which you obviously admire greatly) and her appearance such as you have seen of it (most examples of which will be with her seated in front of a piano).You're therefore not doing your personal credibility any favours by going one about "winning her heart" and all that stuff, especially as it seems that you have made no specific efforts of any kind to do so.Best,Alistair
This. Rach clearly does not know the difference between love and infatuation and that is exactly what I said. Maybe I came off a little too harsh, but I don't really care. No one else was telling him what needed to be said.
hey do you know when she will live stream again? I wanna watch!
No, you actually didn't come off as harsh at all. You and that Anhiton kid just came off as pretentious douchebags trying to ruin my fun. I know myself better than you and Anhiton do, so don't act like you're soo on, snot-nosed punks.
Allistar isn't a kid either.
I take great offense
You're "fun" happens to be denying the fact you aren't actually in love with her. I take great offense to you claiming the contrary. I don't think you really understand what love is and that is sad. If this thread were simply about Valentina's great piano playing, which has been posted, that would be fine. However, the title and the way you respond to people questioning your "love" are just plain immature and show this thread is more than just plain admiration of piano playing. Also, I never once insulted you directly, and neither did Allistar. Calling you immature is not an ad hoc like calling us douchebags. It just proves my point really. Allistar isn't a kid either.
You still didn't solve his math problem.
I'm part of the civilised world where bushels no longer mean anythng.
