This British Study determined women generally seek older men as opposed to what’s seen on TV and in the news, whereas men desire a young and attractive woman, and often prefer a much younger partner as they themselves age. Dr. Michael Dunn, a psychologist at the University of Wales who led the study, goes on to call “the cougar phenomenon myth”
REALLY? A lot of women I know have experienced younger men hitting on them, probably moreso than older men (who may just be chasing down much younger women). I wonder if this study is more UK based – could it differ that much in the States…especially places like Southern California or Las Vegas?
Time Magazine, however, wasn’t quick to buy Dunn’s results, citing a 2003 study by AARP, which concluded that 34 percent of 40-and-older women were dating younger men. And 35% said they preferred dating younger men over dating same-age or older men.
Hummmmm….WHAT DO YOU THINK?

No matter how many first dates we have, or how advanced we think we are…do we even have an idea what the other person is thinking or feeling?
Like, how do you know if a woman is interested in that first kiss?
I think you can tell if……………..
She looks you straight in the eyes before she gets out of the car when you take her home
Her lips are parted and perhaps even quivering
She looks relaxed or has a longing look in her eyes
She doesn’t end the evening early or hold her keys in her hand when you bring her home
How can you tell or how do you reveal you want that first kiss?

We have enough to think about and be excited, yet with that is an unsteady regard for a first date. We have to get ourselves ready for the a new adventure, the great unknown. To get themselves “ready”, woman may dance in front of the mirror, try on many outfits or just pray. Men may work out, have a pep talk or simply become confident.
We all have different pre-date routines or procedures. But let’s not forget about the date itself…not just what do you wear, but what do you order?
Stay away from these foods unless you have mints, dental floss…or a lot of chutzpah.
Garlic. Corn on the cob. Poppy seeds. Popcorn. Spinach. Fried chicken. Taffy…you have the picture.
What were your food challenges on dates?

Just read Ten Habits of Happy Couples and loved it! What I loved about it is the simplicity and return to joy of being in a relationship. We forget that, just like with kids, you have to catch your partner doing something right…and make trust and forgiveness your default mode…..read on.

I’ve had so many girlfriends tell me just how shallow the “dating pool” really is, so I started wondering if that is true or just a perception. Are we colored by our past experiences of relationships that didn’t pan out (how could we not be), and how do we keep getting back up and getting back on the dating horse when a relationship ends? If we take a time out to gather our senses and heal – how long do we wait to try it all again?
Are the dating currents too strong, or the waters too cold…or are men and women simply afraid of not being understood or of being hurt one more time?
With the rise in divorce and the timesharing of children, do we even have time to date or find a mate…or are all just out of practice with dating and romance?
I still believe matchmaking is the way to go…fixing up our friends with other people we know. It has more of sane and friendly feel to it, with more of an upside.
What do YOU think?
