    when older folks – men and women – go back to college, it’s usually because they want to learn something new. Sometimes it’s because they need to learn a new skill to work even part time. Just Curious

    When it comes to material things, some people always want more and are therefore chronically discontent. However, as someone who is now struggling financially, I can tell you that being poor is very stressful, not knowing if you can pay your rent and utilities and decent food. I’ve noticed that most people who say “money can’t buy happiness” don’t live from one paycheck to the next. They have a measure of financial security that many of us lack. It’s true that money doesn’t guarantee happiness, but it sure makes life easier. For example, if I had a newer car, I’d feel safer and less worried about car repair bills. Some of my neighbors can’t afford cars and have to stand outside in all kinds of weather waiting for the bus. I”m sure they’d be happier if they could drive the

    Depends. I’m an older woman who likes younger men. Are you looking for just a sexual relationship or the possibility of a long term relationship? Whatever your answer (and I’m not judging), be honest with yourself and with her. Are you already friends or acquaintances? Do you know for sure that she’s unattached? If you already know her, tell her how much you appreciate her (sense of humor, intelligence, spontanaity – whatever truly applies) and then ask her out for coffee first. If you don’t know her well, compliment her sincerely on her dress, earrings or whatever applies. Nobody likes rejection, but she’ll respect you for having the guts to try. Just Curious

    Who cares what others think. Are you really worried about that or just afraid of rejection. Hey, we’re all afraid of rejection. Whether you’re interested in the possibility of a long term relationship or just a fling, be honest with yourself & with her. Just Curious

    The most common problem is urinary stress incontenance – leaking a bit when exercising, coughing, laughing. But there is surgery for that. I’ve had it. It’s called TVT – trans vaginal taping. I had it 5 yrs ago & may need a tune-up, but it’s not very invasive, though there is a short recovery period. There are pills for this condition too, but I’d rather do the surgery and be done with it for a long time. Just Curious

    No, honey, it’s fine. Now with Barak Obama as president elect, I hope everyone will ease up on the political correctness issue. It would be racist if you called someone of another race a dirty name, but you have a right to your preferences in dolls. Just Curious

    This is just a guess, but since girls are the ones who get pregnant (and girls are getting their periods sooner than they used to), they have to become more responsible about the consequeneces of their actions. Just Curious

    YOunger people are more idealistic and that’s good. They have more energy and drive to change the world. That’s good. Some older folks who’ve experienced a lot of disappointments – loss of jobs, death of friends or relatives, health problems, consider themselves more “realistic” about life. When I was in college, I understood the world intellectually. AS an English major, I read world literature and could analyze it brilliantly. Now that I’m 55, I look back and really understand those characters on an emotional level. Also, lots of kids your age seem very superficial and they’re always on the damned cell phone shutting out the rest of the world in our eyes. Just Curious

    Probably because we all did stupid things as teenagers and realize that teens tend to do lots of things without considering the consequences, like having unprotected sex or using drugs (not that some older people are immune from that). Also jealousy. We wish we were your age, but knowing all that we know now. Just Curious

    Because they probably have more money than younger men and unfortunately, too many women, young & older, are more impressed with money than personality in a man. If you’re not interested, just say no thanks. Just Curious

    I’m glad you asked. With so many STDs it’s important to give the teens accurate information in a non-judgmental way. At the same time, you are perfectly within bounds by telling them (not in a preachy way) your feelings about teen sexual behavior. They’ll respect you more if you are honest and not preachy. They’ll do what they want anyway, so it’s better to give them enough info to be as safe as possible. Just Curious

    As a former English teacher, I’m wondering if you have a learning disability – trouble reading or perhaps have a vision or hearing problem you’re unaware of. If none of the above applies, get off your lazy ass and study. School is not all about fun and games. Do you think Barak Obama, Colin Powell and Bill Gates succeeded by luck? They all had a good education. That takes hard work. Sorry about that. Just Curious

    Like other respondents, I assumed that men prefer oral or vaginal sex. Also, since men masturbate so much, I guess we assume that they get more than enough hand jobs. You guys need to tell us it’s something you want and show us how. SEriously. I asked a former boyfriend to put his hand around my hand which was around his cock and demonstrate the speed, grip,etc. We just don’t know. I suspect that many women would be relieved to give a hand job rather than a blow job. To some of us, it seems the lazy option.

    Honey, you’re hanging out with the wrong guys. Sure, there are guys like that, but if they’re selfish in that area, they’re usually selfish in other areas. There are many guys who enjoy foreplay (or pretend to). Also, many men learn about sex from porn (which lacks foreplay) and they think this reflects real sex. If you take the time & effort to teach them about foreplay, you’ll be rewarded Just Curious
