Charles Manson’s Tips for Landing a Younger Woman
Charles Manson with fiancee Afton “Star” Burton.
Save the date, folks! Charles Manson is getting married!
Earlier this month, eighty-year-old convicted mass-murder, Charles Manson, was granted a marriage license. He and 26 year old fiancee Afton Burton (who prefers to be called “Star”) have ninety days in order to arrange the ceremony and exchange vows before the license expires.
If you are an elderly gentleman with aspirations for marrying a much younger woman, you may be encouraged to learn that you can turn this dream into a reality, and all without leaving the comforts of your own cell! Here’s how:
Be a household name.
Manson’s fiancee, as previously noted, goes by the name “Star.” It stands to reason that she wants her man to be a “star” as well. What young woman doesn’t? Notoriety is a huge turn on. If you’re a senior citizen in pursuit of a millennial, be famous. Or, you know, infamous. Whatever. Be well-known.
Lower the bar.
If beautiful, charming, intelligent women were tough to snag when you were a man in your twenties, they will be all-but-impossible to attract at eighty. Try not to get so hung up on looks. Or intelligence. Or character. A good twenty-something wife need only possess the following:
1. internet access
2. an insatiable appetite for attention (see: “Be a household name.”)
3. major daddy issues
Let her make the first move.
Burton, not Manson, initiated the couple’s first correspondence. This was years ago when a teenage Burton began writing to the prisoner from her mid-western home. This non-traditional “how we met” story is the perfect first chapter for their May/December love story, because today’s woman is empowered enough to go after what she wants (and also because it is all kinds of illegal for geriatric convicts to go after teenage girls).
Play hard to get.
You’re not desperate, so don’t behave as though you are. Sure, you’re serving a life sentence, and yes, you have been behind bars longer than your love interest has been alive, and okay, maybe you’re older than her grandparents, but that doesn’t mean you don’t have options.
Manson made his indifference about Burton (who, by the way, moved to California to be closer to him and maintains several websites in his honor) clear when he answered Rolling Stone magazine’s questions about the couple’s pending nuptials by stating: “That’s a bunch of garbage. You know that, man. That’s trash. We’re just playing that for public consumption.”
Behave in a youthful manner.
Don’t let your age dictate your virility. Age is a state of mind, after all. Charles Manson is a prime example of this. Just this month, he summonsed the energy to violate not one, but three rules: possession of a weapon, threatening staff, and refusal to provide a urine sample. Seriously, how many guys, at eighty years old, and after decades behind bars, are still giving it their all?
Support a cause that is greater than yourself.
Burton fell in love with Manson because of his passion for the environment. If you, as a senior citizen, are going to earn a younger woman’s affections, you have to show her that you are passionate about worthwhile causes. And if you, like Manson, aren’t particularly taken with human life as a worthwhile cause, maybe clean air and redwood trees can be your thing.
Compliment her appearance.
Who among us doesn’t like a little positive reinforcement for having taken the time to get dolled up? The compliment need not be flowery. A simple, “You look pretty when you shave off all of your hair and carve an X into your forehead in deference to my stint in solitary confinement” will suffice.
Happy dating, grandpa! Choose your young bride carefully. Marriage is a life sentence.

Tips to live by. Thank you. Was just about to close down the computer for the night when I saw this pop up and had to read it. Glad I did. Nice to end the day on a good laugh. Very funny, and good to know there’s always hope for the waning years.
I am probably going to be murdered now. I’m so stupid.
These are outstanding, Ginger. I’m sending them to Tweeter, and also to friends. Some could pass them along to their Fox News-watching relatives, so to kill their heated (& ultimately crazy) arguments against Ferguson, Obamacare & the 99%, that are bound to happen over Thanksgiving dinner. Bless them and thanks for these.
And if you know anyone who is into defending the sanctity of marriage, this would be a great marriage license issuance to protest. Thanks for reading and promoting the post, Colltales!
Hilarious! “There’s somebody for everybody.”

“Just be yourself,” right?
You’ve done it again!
Thank you, my dear!
I DO love your twisted humor. Yes, we’re definitely meant to be friends. That was great! Now, if only you could find more time to write…
Very thoughtful entry. Loved it.
Anything to promote love.
1. internet access.
I read that as internal access, first glance. I’m going to wash my mind out with soap this instant.
nice
Reblogged this on astepclosertoperfection.
Great article! I love your style. The only thing I would add is that women are probably attracted to power on some primordial level, and what says primitive power better than murdering your fellow humans? So he had that going for him…
I’m afraid you’re right. It is power of a sort, and it is obviously appealing to the “right” sort of broken. Thanks for checking out the post!
This is a really cool posting, Ginger!
thanks, man
Reblogged this on b+wequalsgray.
Still giving it his all.
Love this.
Just letting you know that I liked this post so much, I’m stealing it. Thanks so much!
Alright, but if you keep on stealing, you may end up in the big house with Manson. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
Ah, thanks for the warning! and this is true…but at least I give credit where credit is due. 😉
This is actually funny stuff. thanks for this..sadly, I won’t be following your blog…but thanks for the laugh.
Well thanks and noted.
