Well, there's pride and then there's self respect. I don't let pride ruin anything. But, sometimes you have to walk away from something you like or want out of self respect.

Once. Long ago in a galaxy far, far away, I used sex to get over a heartbreak. It just made me feel worse.

As the saying goes, "I've been rich and I've been poor, and rich is better"... What do you think it has to do with attraction? Security, opportunity...room for Cougars???

For men trying to date women who are a step above them financially it is a huge stumbling block, unless the woman can see what's happening and pick up the slack. We may not be able to treat them to the finer things that they think are commonplace...jewelry, fine dining, theater, travel, and a host of other things they live for.

Occasionally it works the other way, but with older thinking and men being the hunter gatherer, it doesn't bother to many women to "move up" and assume the roll of recipient of great love and trinkets, so to speak.

How do you feel?

Because life is tough. We need to blow off some steam from time to time. Sex is a temporary euphoria that lifts our spirits.
