Help Me Find Happiness:  What About Dating A Younger Man?

You want to help me find happiness, so you are asking me, “What about dating a younger man?”.  My reply would be, “How much younger?”  Because if he’s still in the cradle, or just learning how to walk or even attending high school, that’s much too much younger for me!  Of course, many celebrities have dated, and then married, younger men.  Mariah Carey dated Nick Cannon for about two days and three minutes, then they got married.  Two years later, they had twins.  Who knows what will happen when the twins are two?  At  least their daughter has a great example if she ever falls for a younger man.

When someone puts out the cry, “Help me find happiness!” does that always mean dating a younger man?  Not always, but pretty close.  Apparently you’ve dated men who are your age, and older men.  They are just too – mature.  Boring, in other words.  Younger men have that sexy vitality about them.  You could always try an online dating site that matches older women with younger men.  There are lots of young men who  prefer dating older women.  Especially women with jobs, who can pay for the dates.

Oh yes, that’s another thing.  When you are dating a much younger man, don’t you worry about becoming a mother figure to him?  And what happens when you meet his mother and find out she’s in the same yoga class for women your age?  Or is younger than you?  And when she brings up the inevitable, “You know, dear, my son promised me grandchildren”, what do you do then?  You tell her lots of women are having babies in their forties and even early fifties, with a little fertility help, of course.  And if junior promised mom a grandchild, you’ll be happy to oblige.  His mother should be thankful.  At least her son is involved with a woman who isn’t a young girly girl.  Perhaps his mother might even find herself a younger man.  You just never know where this could lead to!

Small Tiny House Plans:  What if You Change Your Mind?

You’ve just bought a house, and are setting up small tiny house plans because it’s a small, tiny house.  But what if you change your mind?  You could either change your mind about the house itself and decide you want a normal size house because you realize in your small, tiny house there is no room for your family.  Especially because your family consists of  you, your spouse, three children, one dog, and two cats.  Plus a gerbil.  I wouldn’t be at all surprised if you changed your mind about the house because it’s very hard squeezing a semi-large family into a small, tiny house.  Unless you pile all three kids in one tiny bedroom, or make a bedroom out of the small, tiny basement in the house.  You could also build an addition on to the house to take care of extra bedrooms and possibly an extra bathroom.

When you have small tiny house plans, if you change your mind, that’s your prerogative.  Women, especially, are allowed to change their minds.  They are allowed to because no one in his right mind would stop a woman from changing her mind, especially if he values his life.  If you had planned a huge remodeling job for your small tiny house and changed your mind, it could be because you realized that a small, tiny house can only take so much remodeling.  It’s good for maybe two bedrooms and a bathroom, living room/dining area combination, and a kitchen.  You are lucky if you have a basement underneath.  You can always do something with a basement.  Even a small, tiny basement.  But if you are thinking of buying a small, tiny house and change your mind, do it before you sign the contract.

A small tiny house makes a great starter house, but these days, no one can afford a “starter” house.  What you buy has to last a lifetime nowadays.  Unless you have enough land surrounding your small tiny house to add on to the house and make it bigger.  As your family expands, so can the house.  But if you are an elderly, single woman, even a small, tiny house may be too big for just you.  Get a few cats.  They’ll crowd it up in now time.  And then it won’t feel so big after

Large Female Thighs:  Will You Like to Have Them?

If you are female and wondering about large female thighs, will you like to have them?  Or would you rather have slender female thighs?  Large female thighs, if not too, over large, could be formidably sexy.  What man wouldn’t want a woman with nice, shapely large thighs?  Men like something to grab on to, and a skinny waist and hips won’t always work.

Men think about large female thighs and how much they would like to have them.  Not on their legs, but on their women!   As  long as you don’t wear tight skinny pants, large female thighs aren’t the worst thing in the world to have, especially if you  have shapely hips to go with them.  But if they are so large they look like mountain thighs, perhaps then they are a big too large and you wouldn’t like to have them.  In that case, a bit of exercise to shape up and slim down those large thighs can help.  It’s better than hiding them under a wide skirt.

At times, there are women who are confident enough and will gladly carry their large female thighs in a nice bikini. That will make a lot of head turn but likely not for the same reasons. If you are not bothered about thier thunder thighs, there is no reason why you should hide them.

Compression Shorts With Padding:  Is That Cheating?

So, you want to wear compression shorts with padding but wonder if that is cheating?  How is it cheating?  You are wearing shorts with compression to pull in your figure, but padding to stand out somewhere.  Presumably the padding you want in the compression shorts is in your butt.  Everyone wants a butt like Jennifer Lopez, along with a great body to boot.  Maybe you just want the padding for a soft area to sit down on.  With padding in the butt you have a built in cushioned seat even if you sit on a pile of bricks.

If you wear compression shorts with padding, is that cheating?  Is it cheating to cinch yourself in for some places, and add more in others?  Most padded compression shorts seem to be for men, especially football players.  I guess it’s to squeeze the extra mile out of them while keeping them safe at the same time.  There are some for women, too.  All seem to be sports related, to cushion your fall.  It can’t be cheating if you are wearing compression shorts with padding to avoid a broken tailbone.

Aching Thighs Causes:  What if You Are Obese?

There are so many aching thighs causes.  What if you are obese?  Can that cause your aching thighs?  I’m sure it can.  Extra weight sits right on your thighs, weighing them down…down…down.  If you are obese you  might want to think about losing weight in order to stop the aching in your thighs.  More than likely if you see a doctor that’s what he or she would say.  You can always google and search for other aching thighs causes.  You might find such things as “cramps” or “blood clots”.  But really, what causes those things?  Often one cause is obesity.  If you are obese, you could be causing the very thing that gives you those aching thighs!

Aching thigh causes are many, apparently.  If you are obese, though, there’s a good chance you know the cause.  You can try to say it’s your diet, but honestly, your diet is what is making you obese in the first place.  Oh, I forgot – it’s usually genetics or one’s thyroid.  There’s all sorts of great excuses out there.  You can even google some.   Whatever your reason or cause for your obesity, if you can work on getting your thighs in shape, perhaps that will take care of your aching thighs.  If not, then you can worry that it might be something else.

EvolutionMan Nail Polish For Men:  What if Your Husband Wants One?

Your husband has heard of the EvolutionMan nail polish for men.  Now, what if your husband wants one?  Well, let’s see what colors they come in.  Do you think he’d look good in hot pink?  To match his new skirt?  Or perhaps his hair?  Can you get the same shade as a man’s hair dye color?  Maybe your man thinks all nail polish is “girly” and refuses to wear any.  Paint his nails while he sleeps!  He probably won’t notice anyway once he awakens – at least until he’s complimented on his hands.  Then maybe he’ll thank you.  Maybe.  After all, it’s been called the ultimate man-i-cure.

Johnny Depp wears it.  If your husband wants a bottle of EvolutionMan nail polish, think of him as Johnny Depp.  Even if he’s fat and balding and sixty four years old.  Someday Johnny Depp will be sixty four years old.  Of course, he’ll always look forty.

If women can have nail polish and beautiful nails, by can’t men have EvolutionMan Nail Polish for men?  What if your husband wants one?  What’s the big deal?  Do you think men wearing make-up are gay?  Some are.  Some aren’t.  Let’s face it – make-up for men is here to stay.  It’s not going anywhere.  Women rights and all that stuff.  If women want to be like men, then men want to be like women.  Or something like that.

If you feel funny about your husband painting his fingernails, why not start with his toenails?  His feet are usually covered up during the day, right?  Who will see but you and he?  And maybe your children.  Who will think it cool that Daddy wears nail polish.  Check around your neighborhood and see if any guys are wearing nail polish.  Chances are, some will be.  And since you don’t want your husband to be the only one with unpolished nails, get him a shade or two.  If yours runs low, you always have someone to borrow from.

Change of Surname After Divorce:  Will You Even Bother?

Now that’s a loaded question for me.  A change of surname after divorce – will you even bother?  IF I were getting a divorce – which I’m not – I would never go back to my maiden name.  It was an unpronounceable Russian Jewish surname, which 99 out of 100 tries got butchered in one’s attempt to say it, and I always swore I’d marry a Smith, Jones, or Smith.  Clarke was close enough.  IF I got a divorce and wanted to change my surname it would not be that maiden name – I would change my name all together.  I would pick a name that doesn’t get noticed in a crowd of names – something like “Jane Smith” or “Jane Jones”.  Even “Ann Smith” would do.

I never wanted a name people would remember, because once people remember your name, they remember your face, then your address, and phone number, and next thing you know bill collectors the world over know where you are.  Those student loans from thirty years ago, received under your maiden name, would come back to haunt you.  Especially the ones you never paid off.  I was grateful my children would receive plain surnames.  I could never have stuck my maiden name in their last name, either.  No Jolie-Pitt versions here.

I wouldn’t treat my kids that cruelly!  Did you ever think that eventually, all these married women who keep their maiden names attached to their surnames and give it to their children, as their children, then their grandchildren and so forth do the same, eventually we’ll be a society of “James Smith-Evert-Anderson-Riley-O’Keefe-Jackson-Doberfinchers” or “Ann-Marie McDougal-O’Brien-Madison-Anderson-Jones-Thurber-Watsons”?  Of course, it’s a great way to keep the government and the I.R.S. from tracking you down!  By the time all those names are untangled, you’ve married again and added yet another name to the roster.

A change of surname after divorce is fine for some, but will I even bother if I ever get divorced?  No.  I’ll keep my married surname no matter what.  It’ll make it easier to collect benefits off my husband’s social security as I’d most likely never remarry.  Unless some ultra rich dude actually wanted to marry a middle aged woman.   I might reconsider then.  How does Rockefeller sound?  Quite catchy, I think.

Dating Sites For Beautiful People:  Will You Join?

How flattering!  Speaking of dating sites for beautiful people and asking me will I join!  I am truly flattered.  But the answer is a flat out “no”.  Why?  Well, obviously you think of me as one of the “beautiful people” so a dating site for beautiful people would not only be for me, it would accept me because I meet the qualifications of being one of the “beautiful people”.    But honestly, how discriminating can a site get?  Limiting it’s self to accepting only beautiful people for it’s dating services!  How very very rude!  How very utterly rude, as Catherine Tate might say, in character, of course.

Dating sites for beautiful people are discriminating.  What standards do they use to determine “beautiful people”?  Will I join?  Of course not!  Even if I consider myself a beautiful person.  Because the dating sites ideas of beauty might be foreign to me.  I might think a guy with dark curly hair and a beard is handsome, or beautiful even.  The dating site might consider only men who are six feet tall, blond, with blue eyes.  The same for women, only a bit shorter.  But blond hair and blue eyes.

Think of the children those couples will produce!  We’ll soon be known as little Scandinavia!  And if the site has all races, if beauty is determined by something such as high cheekbones for women, and long, long hair, where does that leave women with round faces and short hair?  Hopefully in the beauty salon, but that’s besides the point.  Hefty women and men can be beautiful – it all depends on your standards.  So if a dating site is for beautiful people only, I won’t join.  I owe it to all the really, truly beautiful people out there who would be rejected by the site.  Besides, if all the so called “beautiful people” join, that leaves more choices out there for me in the real world.  Think about it.

How to Find Me A Soulmate:  What About Robbing the Cradle?

Wow – that is a loaded question, no matter if you are male or female!  If you are a female, and you are asking, “how to find me a soulmate – what about robbing the cradle?,” I’d say, sure – if you don’t touch a guy under 18.  There are many successful cases of women robbing the cradle to find a soulmate.  Think of Zsa Zsa Gabor and her latest and most likely last husband, Prince someone or other.  Or is it Duke? Or Sir?  I can’t keep the titles straight.  I think it’s one he bought for cash anyway.  Or maybe he exchanged the family castle for it.  Then, of course, there’s Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon.  She’s about eleven years his senior, and they just had twins this year.  He also got her name tattooed in large letters across is shoulders.  Women often peak in terms of sexuality in their mid thirties on up, while men peak and fizzle out at approximately 27 years, 2 months, 3 days, and 35.54 minutes of age.

Of course, if you are a male and asking, “How to find me a soulmate?” and then wonder about robbing the cradle, I would want to remind you of statutory rape laws.  Do not mess with a woman under 18!  Unless you are fourteen and she is thirteen.  Then it’s not robbing the cradle.  It’s called “dating”.  With a curfew of ten p.m.  Otherwise, if you are much older, stick with women older than you.  While a young woman may be hot today, in twenty years time she might not look so “hot”.  When searching for an older woman, at least you know what she looks  like at an older age.  There are no surprises.  Keep in mind, though, you don’t want to go too much younger, no matter what sex you are, or even if looking for a same sex relationship.

You’ll age faster than your partner.  How many people do you think would like to be a caregiver to an elderly spouse or significant other when they are only forty and you are eighty?  And keep in mind, when you go out together, people assume you are your partner’s father or mother.  Or even grandparent.  If you happen to have children together you are taken for a three or four generation family.  If that doesn’t bother you then go for it.  Otherwise, pick on someone your own size, or rather, age.

How to Find Teenage Love:  Will You Allow Your Children?

Teenagers.  They are everywhere.  You probably have a few in your home.  And they might be wondering how to find teenage love.  Will you allow your children to find love when they are teenagers?  Or try to keep them from the opposite sex until they are fifty years old?  Teenagers need to experience love in all forms – from “puppy love” (think Justin Bieber)  to deep, mysterious, romantic love.  Perhaps you think that the deeper forms of love are relevant or applicable only to adults?  Not true.  A sixteen year old has enough, if not more than enough, feelings and emotions to experience deep love.  What if your teenager asked you how to find teenage love?  Will you allow your children the courtesy of an answer?  A real answer?  Or will you just say something like, “Oh, there’s NO such thing.  Do your homework”?

Teenagers seek love from the opposite sex, and some from the same sex.  Although they love their parents and siblings and pets, the love they are seeking is a deeper, more satisfying love.  Something not supplied by family love.  It has to do with growing up.  Remember when you were a teenager?  Perhaps you are one, and wondering how to find teenage love.  Will you allow your children the same chances you wanted if you are a parent or a potential parent?  If you are a teenager, finding love is not easy.  You need someone who is willing to commit to you, and you can trust.  Love is not a “first sight” thing, although many mistake initial attraction for love at first sight.  Love develops through a developing relationship.  It’s not one sided, either.  You may love someone, but if that someone doesn’t love you back, it’s only a half sided love.  And that’s never as good as being loved in return.  Take your time.  It’s not impossible – just let a relationship bloom, first.  If love is meant to be, it will happen.  And for parents, same advice.  Your teens deserve a chance to find true love and happiness in this lifetime.  Just don’t let your teen do anything foolish like rush into a teen marriage or teenage parenthood.  That stuff can definitely wait!
