Older Men, Younger Women or Cougars?Mother nature knows best....or does she? Should older
men and younger women be marrying, copulaating and conceiving? Does it work better for cougars and younger men, or is
the best match still men and women about the same age?
For years, the
older man younger woman pair seemed, with patronizing a wink and a not, acceptable. At least it was in the eyes
of older men.
And for a long time, science seemed to support that notion decades ago because the genesis of that gender-based bias was rooted in the biology
of the sexes.
But what do the newest studies show about sex between older men and younger women? How about the chances
of conceiving, and the children born to these couples?
This is just a short blog today...Please Read the rest

Getting OldGetting old and aging is seen by many as something negative.
Here is the positive side.
I would never
trade my friends, my life, my loving family for a face with no lines, less gray hair or a flatter belly. As
I've aged, I've learned to become kinder to myself, and less critical of myself. I've become my own friend. I don't
chide myself for eating that extra cookie, or for not making my bed, or for buying that silly cement gecko that
I didn't need, but looks so avant-garde on my patio. I am entitled to a piece of cake or cookie, to be a little messy
sometimes, to be extravagant or give my opinion.
Getting old means I have seen too many family
members and friends leave this world too soon; before they understood the great freedom that comes with aging.
Whose business is it if I choose to read or play on the computer until 4 AM and sleep
until noon? I’ve worked hard for over 40 years and I deserve it. I will dance
with my partner, or even myself to those wonderful tunes of the 50’s, 60 &70's on the dance floor or in my own home
when the mood hits me. And when I remember a lost love and want to weep because they are no longer with me ... I will.
No matter where I am. I will walk the beach in a swim suit that is stretched over a bulging body,
or a too skinny body with sagging skin, and possibly even dive into the waves with abandon if I choose to, despite
the pitying or disgusted glances from the jet set.
They, too, will get old. And you
don’t need to remind me that at times I forget things. Some of life is just as well forgotten anyway. I eventually
remember the important things and memories.
Sure, over the years my heart has been broken. How can your heart not break when you lose a loved one, a child
suffers, people are starving or endure a natural disaster, or when you unintentionally hurt someone you
love? But broken hearts are what give us strength to overcome pain and obstacles,
sincere compassion and understanding. I revel in the fact that I’ve experienced those feelings. Yes, a heart never broken
is pristine but will never know the joy of forgiveness, acceptance of things that cannot be changed, or of the
freedom of being imperfect.
Getting old means I’ve been blessed to have lived long enough to
have my hair turn gray, and to have years of laughter forever etched into deep grooves on my face.So many have rarely laughed, or have died before they were old
enough for their hair to turn silver. As you get older, you shrug off things that would have bothered
you when you were younger. And you care less about what other people think. You don't question yourself and your decisions
so much anymore because if it’s wrong…it’s okay.
So, to answer your question, I like getting old. It has set me free in a sense to be who
I am with all of my faults and graces. And, I’ve grown to like and accept the person I have become. I am not going to live forever, but while I am still here, I will
not waste time lamenting what could have been, or worrying about what will be. Getting old means I will dance
in my living room, swim in the sea and eat dessert every single day (if I feel like it).
