 Wishing you Love and Laughter In the New Year! 

 

I wish you all the best of the holiday season. 

I’ll be taking Christmas week off to spend with family, and will return with a post after the New Year. 

Until then, please stay safe both physically and emotionally as you revel in the celebrations!

Feliz Navidad and Happy Hanukah! It has been quite an eventful year for me. Today, I say thank you Susan because I honestly feel I can say you’ve helped me understand and navigate the College Dating market and to realize that there is always somebody with a similar outlook about dating than you do. Thanks to all the commenters, although I might disagree with many of them, the perspectives they bring are unvaluable. Merry Christmas to all :)

@Susan and stephenie rowling

that was awful what you did to that poor boy in high school just because he cry at a funeral. shame on you!!!

I do agree that I shit test a man. I have no problem with a man crying
at a funeral and enjoys being with a guy that can express himself.

I think that my shit tests are financial. If a guy expects me to pay for
myself or wants to split the bill, it means that he will always be my
friend. I am cool with paying to save face, but I need a guy that can
provide for me.

Even if he is a broke college guy. If he takes me to McDonald and
pay for me, I will be happy.
that I be treated like a princess, but being a gentleman is important.

@ Susan

The case against older fathers

So I was goggling Mark Zukerberg and read several comments about his wife’s appearances. Some commenter
feels that his wealth should afford a more attractive woman and that he should used it to bed hot girls every
weekend.

On the other hand, Huge Hefner had done exactly that by bedding young women well into his old age.

In fact, he is getting marry again to a twenty-something woman even though he is in his 80s. This makes me think
of the Times article about older parents, who will have a lesser chance of living long enough to meet their grandchildren
because they were having children after they are accomplished (30+) instead of their prime years (20s).

Susan, I enjoyed reading your blog and became more interested when you suggest that a younger woman should
seeking an older man if she wishes to get marry soon. I would like to argue that there should be a limit and that
men too have deadlines.

As a man grows older, his sperms becomes more risky because of the mutation that occurs. Many older fathers have a higher chance of children with mental disability.

Therefore, I would like to suggest that a man should get marry between 30 to 40 years of age. As a man age,
so will his body and health even if his mentality is that of a young man. A man will have less health, youth, and
vitality to assist his wife in his children upbringing.

In the old days, men and women rarely live past their 60s and
by that time menopause and erection dysfunction prevents them from producing more children.

another thing, I was curious if you can write an article about the case against older fathers? You suggest that women dates older men if they want to get married and have children, but there are reasons against dating older men.
