I think black men are more feared than Latino men. Look at the VIOLENT crime statistics in this country and you’ll see why. Gay men are the safest men for women to be around, frankly. We don’t have to worry bout rape and they have a low rate of violent crime. Just Curious

Call it ebonics or whatever you like, it is not proper English and sounds uneducated. If you’ll notice, the blacks who succeed (outside of rap and sports) – Obama, Colin Powell, Condoleeza Rice – they all speak proper English. It’s no coincidence. Other educated ethnic minorities that have become successful honor their heritage and speak ethnically at home, but they speak proper English in public. Just Curious

Maybe you need to find other places to meet women, like church or volunteer organizations. 2. Perhaps their fathers are adult “bad boys” so the daughters consider that normal. They don’t know what it’s like to be treated nicely. 3. Teenagers are at that awkward stage of being dependent on parents, yet starting to become an adult. Part of that process involves separating from parents, which often leads to rebellion against parental values. What would piss off nice parents more than having their daughters date bad boys? See what I mean? Sometimes this rebellion continues into the 20’s or beyond. Hopefully, these girls will discover they are worth the attention and kindness of a nice guy. If not, they’re not the girl for you. Just Curious

I can’t understand how these same Americans expect Israel to even consider negotiations with Palestinians as long as suicide bombers and other Palestinian terrorists continue their terrorism of the Jews. The Israelis have made major concessions to Palestinians over the years and all they’ve gotten in return is more terrorism. Why should Israel make any more concessions? Most Palestinians live in poverty. Why don’t the wealthy Arab countries relocate these Palestinians to their countries and improve their quality of life? Obviously, they can’t live and let live in Israel. Just Curious

A joke – but true: When you’re 20, you worry what everyone thinks about you. When you’re 40, you don’t give a damn what anyone thinks about you. When you’re 60, you realize that nobody was thinking about you in the first place. Just Curious

I’m not old, but middle age. I have no problem with younger people as long as they don’t blast their music or TV. The few times this has happened, I’ve asked nicely for them to turn it down and they usually do, so no problem. I do get irked by some of the young guys who drive through the parking lot like the Indianapolis 500 and don’t give pedestrians right of way. Just Curious

JOKE, but true: when you’re in your 20’s you worry about what everyone thinks. When you’re in your 40’s you don’t give a damn what anyone else thinks. When you’re in your 60’s you realize that nobody was thinking about you in the first place. If somebody asked me why I couldn’t find someone my own age, I’d be tempted to ask them why they couldn’t mind their own business. Just Curious

Not just “the main event”. I enjoy sex and fantasize. Have you noticed that in movies, women characters who really enjoy sex seem to die or get punished for their urges? Just Curious

My mom (86) and my aunt (89) still have their licenses. It represents their freedom. Neither drives at night and both have cut down on their driving, still … Older drivers have slower reaction times, and generally have poorer vision and hearing loss. With the increased use of cell phones by drivers and pedestrians not looking where they’re going, driving has become even more of a challenge. Personally, I think all drivers should have to take not only the vision test but the driving test every 10 years. If more cities had good, safe public transportation, it might be easier to convince older drivers to give up their keys. Just Curious

When you arrive, tell her you can only stay 20 minutes. If they ask why, just say, “I have other obligations.” Try not to lie. After 15 minutes, look at your watch and say, “It’s nice talking to you, but I need to leave soon.” Then do it at 20 minutes or so – not rudely, just assertively. She may not like it at first, but if you make a habit of doing this, she’ll get used to it. Be sure to say, “I love you” whether you mean it or not and hopefully she won’t be too upset. If you train yourself to do this (it takes practice to work up the nerve), you won’t resent her so much and can have pleasanter visits. Also, you may come prepared to tell her something about your life, bring photos, tell h

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

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
