Love Hurts

Ah, the truth hurts. And so can love.

As most of us know, a love relationship can stir up many different emotions. It can range from contentment to ecstasy on a good day, from hurt to hate on a bad day.

When I think about the relationships I have had in my life, I can honestly say that I’ve only had one that brought out every possible emotion I could imagine – from one extreme to the other. This was my romance with a musician we’ll call “BTR” (short for “Big Tall Rocker”). We were in our 20’s and I was the “older” woman… and if you know anything about musicians, I guess you can say I was destined to be dumped.

While I loved this man for bringing out a creative side of me I didn’t even know existed, I hated him for the hurt I felt when the relationship came to an end.

Whether you’re expecting it or not, a break-up never feels good. And the problem with a passionate relationship is that while the high is really high, the low, well, the low can be beyond unbearable.

Since then, I’ve had some “nice” relationships, but nothing quite as intense. And I find that even the nice relationships are fewer and farther between.

So, now, I have to ask myself…

Am I less passionate than I was in my late 20’s or have I just matured?

Have I become numb to being hurt or just more carefree?

Have I learned to protect myself by not allowing myself to fall quite so deeply or am I subconsciously picking emotionally (or geographically) unavailable men in order to avoid getting serious?

Or, could it be, now that I'm in my 40's, that I just like the alone time?

For answers to these burning questions, tune in next month…

Or better yet, check out this new book by Gloria MacDonald and Thelma Beam, “Laws of the Jungle: Dating for Women Over 40,” answering the age-old question, “How many frogs does a woman have to kiss before she finds a Prince?” And for your shopping convenience, you can purchase it right here at Blissable.com!

The face, not the body, attracts a mate

Body builders and gym buffs, look away now. It appears that the opposite sex is much more interested in your face than your bulging biceps or elegant figure, especially if you're a man. At least that's the upshot of the first study to assess how much faces and bodies contribute to someone's overall attractiveness.

Twelve women and 12 men took part in a trial to assess the attractiveness of people in photographs, on a scale of 1 to 7. Some participants saw the entire person, some saw faces on their own, and some just bodies. Marianne Peters from the University of Western Australia in Crawley and colleagues assessed the face-only and body-only ratings to see how well they predicted the "entire person" ratings.

They found that faces account for more of the variation among ratings than do bodies; in other words, faces are more important. For women rating men, 52 per cent of the attractiveness score was made up by the face rating, while for bodies it was 24 per cent. The trend was similar when men rated women, with 47 per cent of a woman's overall attractiveness accounted for by her face, and 32 per cent by her body.

Peters says that women focus especially on the face because they are better at picking up emotional cues which are key to partner suitability.

The Gay Bomb. Defused.

If there's any doubt left about the complete and utter stupidity among idealogically-driven conservatives in our country, then the following should drive it home.

A Berkeley watchdog organization that tracks military spending said it uncovered a strange U.S. military proposal to create a hormone bomb that could purportedly turn enemy soldiers into homosexuals and make them more interested in sex than fighting.

Pentagon officials on Friday confirmed to CBS 5 that military leaders had considered, and then subsquently rejected, building the so-called "Gay Bomb."


Edward Hammond, of Berkeley's Sunshine Project, had used the Freedom of Information Act to obtain a copy of the proposal from the Air Force's Wright Laboratory in Dayton, Ohio.

As part of a military effort to develop non-lethal weapons, the proposal suggested, "One distasteful but completely non-lethal example would be strong aphrodisiacs, especially if the chemical also caused homosexual behavior."

The documents show the Air Force lab asked for $7.5 million to develop such a chemical weapon.

"The Ohio Air Force lab proposed that a bomb be developed that contained a chemical that would cause enemy soldiers to become gay, and to have their units break down because all their soldiers became irresistably attractive to one another," Hammond said after reviewing the documents.

The last paragraph is particulary hilarious to me. Monty Python couldn't have come up with a more ridiculous idea.

Listen up idiots! No-one and nothing (not even a lifetime of listening to Liberace records) can "turn" someone gay. And the fact that our government is funding such tripe only shows how much contempt they have for science and nature. Not to mention the thousands upon thousands of gays and lesbians who have served honorably in the armed forces for centuries.

Romance on the High Seas

Can't get a date at home? Then go on vacation.

Three-quarters of travellers have experienced a holiday romance in some shape or form, according to new research.

This compares with the statistic that just 59 per cent of holidaymakers claim to expect a romance while away, the study by HostelBookers.com revealed.

About 13 per cent of the travellers surveyed have had a serious romance on a holiday, while almost two-thirds of those who had some form of relationship said they had a short fling - despite just half expecting to encounter such a romance.

"Travelling the world can be a very liberating experience; these figures demonstrate that attitudes and expectations can change dramatically whilst away," commented David Smith, general manager of HostelBookers.com.

Last year, research from Saga Travel Insurance found that almost 10.5 million Britons have had a holiday romance, with teenage travellers the most likely to get involved with someone else while away.

Just like in that Liza Minnelli number where Shirley Devore had to travel the world to meet a lover next door, stop whining about your lack of romance at home and go out and find some elsewhere.

Menopause is hot!

NYT: Thirty-five years ago, television viewers were shocked by a landmark episode of “All in the Family” when the normally meek Edith Bunker wreaked havoc on everyone around her because of a condition then delicately referred to as “the change of life.” But these days, among people of a certain age, references to menopause are just as likely to be batted across a dinner table as comments about the bouquet of the merlot.

“Five years ago, women would have kept that to themselves,” said Mr. Greenberg, who had been amused by Ms. Caruana’s immodesty. “Women who used to feel inhibited don’t anymore. They are honest about things they were never forthright about before.”

Bigger is better!!

Size does matter where sexual satisfaction is concerned, according to Dr. Daniel Amen.

It has nothing to do with the enlargement offers by e-mail.

Instead, it involves the "big B."

"To have a great sex life, you have to have a great brain," Amen said recently from his home in Newport Beach, Calif.

Brain greatness, he explained, requires avoiding activities, including the abuse of drugs and alcohol, that might literally shrink the brain.

In the past 18 years, the clinical psychiatrist and brain-imaging expert has opened four Amen Clinics -- where brain scans are used to evaluate patients. (Hundreds of brain scans can be found at www.amenclinic.com.)

His latest book, Sex on the Brain: 12 Lessons To Enhance Your Love Life, supplements his growing catalog -- including Change Your Brain, Change Your Life and Making a Good Brain Great.

G-spot enhancement

Can a shot of collagen enhance your sex life?

Dr. David Matlock, a Los Angeles gynecologist and plastic surgeon thinks so, and to this end has invented a system for G-spot enhancement he has trademarked as the G-shot. With a 3 1/2-inch needle, a doctor will pump a small dose of collagen into his patient's Grafenberg Spot and make it swell to the size of a quarter. The increased size reportedly leading to heightened ability for arousal and easier, more powerful orgasms.

Sandy Gart, a 56-year-old patient who has had multiple G-Shots, said her sex life has been at a "heightened state" for the past two years and she'll gladly get more. "It makes me horny," Gart said. "It makes me want to have sex, like I did when I was younger."

Laws of the Jungle: Dating for Women Over 40

How many frogs does a woman have to kiss before she finds a Prince? This book is for the 20 million single women over 40 in America who are looking for a loving relationship with a goodman. Unfortunately for them, there simply aren’t enough men to go around. Single men were plentiful in their 20’s, but now they have are becoming increasingly scarce. In fact, by the time they are in their sixties, there are almost three times as many single women as men!

But psychological research into human behavior has shown that men and women are basically different at a fundamental level due to the way they evolved over eons. Many women do not understand how men think. They don’t realize just how differently men approach dating and relationships, and keep struggling against nature.

Laws of the Jungle: Dating for Women Over 40 shows women how to use nature to increase their chances of finding a wonderful man. Topics include:

• The Seven Attitudes of Highly Successful Daters


• Relationship economics: the demographics of dating


• The Prince Charming Test

• How women sabotage their chances of finding love
