Aging...the new Adolescence

This month we will be blogging about getting older. We will be asking daily thought starter questions that will inspire all of us to explore our assumptions and beliefs about aging, in ways that will hopefully transform some of the unexamined ideas we bring to that idea.

Look for challenge questions like: When I can't remember something, should I be worried? I never was motivated to go to the gym...and it's not getting any easier. What do I do? Is it too early to talk to MY aging parent about death?


You know, easy stuff like that...

Men get rejected more than women in on-line dating!




Check out this information from today's Daily Breeze:

Research into online dating services shows that women are twice as likely as men to specify that they are looking for someone of their own ethnicity...hmmm.

The median age of people using on-line dating services is 42. Men sought women who were 3 years older to 11 years younger. Women sought men who were 2 years older to 5 years younger.

The median number of words in self-descriptions was 106 for men, 118 for women. The median distance considered to be geographically desireable was 28.2 miles.

And men are almost twice as likely to reply to a "wink" as women: 26.4% of men initally contacted by a woman replied vs. 15.9% of women initially contacted by a man. I guess men must get more used to rejection...And it's nice to know that almost 75% of men don't reply to an invitation! I thought it was me!
