I do it, of course, but I have to swallow hard and grit my teeth first. I think some of men friends are laughing as they think it is the ultimate revenge.

Our problem (I mean women) is we have been ingrained not to approach men. Don't get me wrong - I personally see no problem with it but many of us had that dictum pounded in our heads by mothers and grandmothers. "Nice" girls don't do that. So moving many of us to that idea is a slow process. I won't speak for anyone else, but I wish more of you ladies would step-out and assert yourselves. Men have been on the hot seat for years so now its our turn! At least when the stubborn man we want to meet won't move! Amen to that Blake.

I must say, age is just a strange number, really. I know we are always told that, but someone can be 28 and be an old fart and others can be 60 and still so young at heart. The most important thing to do is to keep meeting new people. Always. It doesn't mean you have to go on fancy dates with all of them, but quick lunches here and there can't hurt. And if you find that guys aren't taking the innitiative to start conversation, then YOU start the conversation. Who cares?! He sure as hell doesn't, he would probably be delighted if you were to "break the ice", or initiate. For a lot of younger guys, yea, it is about the thrill. My girlfriend is 5 years older then me, and the ways we connected so well were due primarily on an emotional and intellectual level. Not just physical. And besides, what's wrong with being a little wild and crazy sometimes?? It's when it gets out of hand and becomes too frequent when there may be conflicts. Spontaneity brings such exhiliration to the experiences! It's what makes situations fun and often life long memories that bring a warm smile to your face. No body is judging you besides yourself, so enjoy your time while you still can. - Blake - Hi Contrarian-
