Love and the Younger Man
The advantage of a younger man? He finds you fascinating. You’re younger (hopefully!) than his mom, but like her you have wisdom and experience that go beyond his. And your goodnight stories are oh so much hotter!
According to Dating the Younger Man: A Complete Guide to Every Woman’s Sweetest Indulgence by Cyndi Targosz, “Your experience is exciting!” Cyndi pep talks directly to her older-woman readers and paints a mostly rosy picture of rapt listening. She surveyed younger men and found that they not only welcome advice from their women, but that they “cling to your every word”! They’ve had it with whiney, self-absorbed younger women. They’re willing to listen, and crave some intellectual stimulation to make it worthwhile.The Secret List
You know that book The Secret that Oprah made a bestseller? Its very appealing concept is that if you think about something enough, it will happen. (Anyone who ever wanted a pony as a child knows how realistic this is, but never mind. BAD negative thought! Get out of here!)
The Secret is based on the so-called law of attraction that says that your positive thoughts are magnets. These magnets can attract health, wealth, happiness, a job, a boyfriend, whatever you think about enough, and in the right way. It’s sort of a cross between the power of positive thinking and believing in miracles.The One Who Got Away
A LoveHowTo analysis of the wedding announcements in The New York Times turned up a lot of reconnecting. There were couples who had pined for each other for years and ultimately tracked each other down, couples who were friends while married to others and finally found themselves single at the same time, couples who had previously noticed each other but had never spoken, couples who fell in love planning or attending their high school reunions.
The message? You may already have met your future partner.
Secrets Revealed: How Women Think
How do women think? WAY too much. They let their imaginations run amok with what-ifs, from soaring fantasies to the parade of the horribles. They harbor conflicting thoughts about their relationships, careers, mothers, food…pretty much everything.
In short, women overthink.
But you can’t blame them. Their lives are complicated. At any given moment they’re trying to figure out how they should feel or act, torn between trying to solve a problem on their own or ask for help. Picture Hillary Clinton veering crazily between victim and bully. It’s because, like all women since 1972, she’s been told she can have it all, be whomever she wants. This is a dangerous kind of freedom for a gender that until recently was reared to be simpering and dependent. Women are still grappling with the ramifications.More Articles...
