Sunday Musings…

It’s kind of hard to believe that it’s already Sunday! Where do these weekends go? Saturday, I spent the day trying to catch up on my cleaning. I needed to polish and clean all the glass in my living room area. I took up an old area rug and chucked it out, got rid of the pesky one fish I had left in the fish tank. Vacuumed and dusted everything in site.

This morning, I took apart the fish tank & gained some more room in the living room! I am very happy about this as I like lots of living space. Not much else to do today because it is off & on cloudy/rainy/sunny. So I have pretty much been inside all day & have been watching movies. I really need to get into the closet and organize it though. I just have been putting it off because it’s not something I want to tackle.

The New Look…

Yesterday, I was even able to re do my other blog - The Blog Searcher

I was just in the mood for change, so I thought  why not re do the blog to give it a more updated look. I am not 100% done with it yet, but so far it’s looking pretty ok. Go check it out if you are interested. I have become quite restless it seems and I want to be changing everything again. Was even thinking of changing the look of Simple Mindz. Not sure yet though. Maybe I will just change the sidebars around but keep the same theme.

Joining the ranks…

In case you all have not noticed, I have become an affiliate of the “Date a Cougar” site.

Why the heck have you done that, you are probably asking? Well, it’s because I get TONS of hits for people looking to date older women. It’s amazing how many searches are done with “younger guy, older women, “dating older women,” etc… in my stats.

So I figured, I might as well add some links here, jump on the bandwagon and make more cash. It’s just a dating site, so maybe I can give people what they are looking for.

Sheesh, I added it yesterday and have already had 4 hits on my links. And, when people upgrade to the paid members area I will be getting $35.00. Can’t say that’s all too bad huh?

Immature people…

Am not too sure with that title. I am just annoyed with people in general this week. I put my heart into things and it seems only to be kicked when I am down. Maybe it’s my own fault. Actually, I know it’s my own fault. I keep allowing the wrong people into my life. I have tried to do a lot of “inner self” searching this week. And I cannot help but think I am the one that causes my own heartache.

I think I am just too nice sometimes. Too trusting when I should not be. I put up with shit for so long. Years even,  and for what?  Stomach ulcers, low self esteem, anxiety, That’s what.

I can tell you one thing though. It’s time to delete the nasty people on my Myspace account. The ones that leave nasty little comments directed towards me?  Screw that. No more. I do not need the stress in my life. I am trying to improve my life, not take another step back.  So, I say, “buhbye” to people that do not treat me as I should be treated.

Seriously. I just want to be treated with respect. That seems to much to be asking for though, cause I am constantly being walked over. Not anymore though. I am just very tired of being hurt. Time to take a stand.

Ok…I am done ranting….. For now anyways.

To date, or not too date?

Remember last Sunday, when I posted about older women dating younger men? I think I could be on to something here.

It seems that all my traffic recently has been on this same subject.

According to my Bloglog stats, I have had many hits come to me by way of - is it OK to date younger women? - The older woman, younger guy, and so on. I never really gave this subject all too much thought, (amazing - since I am an Aquarius)

Funny though, my friend and I were just talking about this subject via text messaging last night. We were discussing how, when we were together last year and took a break from each other - he dated someone that was about 18 years younger then he was. I thought it was gross, she was just 24, and he actually ended up not liking it because he said it felt like she was just a kid, as she behaved rather immaturely. drinking too much, partying all the time, etc.

But, on the same note - he likes the idea of a young guy with an older woman. Look at Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher. I believe they are 15 years apart in age?

So what makes it different? I always thought “women matured much faster then men.” So, at what point does this become bypassed and the men are looking for the older, mature woman?

I think it is just society that puts the rules on everything. Just last night, my daughter and I watched an English movie about a teacher that was sleeping with a much younger student. Of course a teacher should never be sleeping with her student in the first place, but what if he was over that 18 year mark? Then it would have been “gross” but yet, at the same time, “OK” because he was indeed 18 and legal?

It seems to be everywhere these days. And something must be up if it is being searched for frequently. I was never single in my 20’s and it wasn’t until I was 35 that I actually became single again, and in the dating field. (Which I totally hate being in BTW.) But, most men my age and older are married, settled and have the house, the kids, and the swanky car. So that obviously leaves the “young-ins” - as I like to call em. Or, the 60 year olds that are old, single drunks. Yuck.

My poll that I have running - over there——————>

So far it is saying that most people feel that it depends on the age of the woman. Nobody, so far has chosen “No” though. And I got a few Yes answers too. Go voice your opinions people and vote! I want to know! This really is an interesting topic.

Here is one woman’s really sweet story of her younger guy. She is obviously much older then he is. And her hubby has never given age a second thought.

I Village posted this article that was taken from the book “Older Women, Younger men” Check out the link here.

Not only are women called “Cougars” but apparently, this is called the “Mrs. Robinson syndrome.”

You learn new things everyday my friends.

I even found dating sites that cater to “Cougars.” lol.

So, what say you all? please, share your opinions with me!

Inquiring minds wanna know.
