Sex in The City: 10 Tips to Date a Cougar

Sex in The City

There are many reasons a Cougar can appeal to you. When I think of a Cougar, Samantha off "Sex in the City" comes to mind, she plays a vivacious, sophisticated woman with a sexual libido that rivals rabbits in spring.

Although her character is fictional who she portrays is not. Women at older ages are more attune with there wants, needs and desires.

While Men's sexual stamina is slowing down, Women's desire for intimacy is coming into full bloom. It seems like the worlds cruel joke to have such a wide gap in the ages of sexual maturity but it true, while guys are thinking about sex in there 20's, women are hitting there peak in their 30's or 40's.

This age gap gives a perfectly logical reason why cougars exist but there are other reasons as well.

Men aren't the only ones that get mid-life crisis. Women want to feel young again too but instead of buying that corvette or going skydiving, they look to a younger generation. There are many appeals to dating young. Most younger men don't have any strings attached, a youthful personality, and are more willing to try new things.
Revenge can also be a reason; don't be surprised if your new cougar is recently divorced, like recently divorced professional wrestler Hulk Hogan. When word got out that Hulk Hogan had found a girlfriend that could pass as his daughter it wasn't long after ex-wife Linda Hogan had found a 19 year-old boy toy of her own.

So what are the best tips for getting and keeping a cougar?

1. Treat Her Like A Queen -
Treat any women like a queen and she will be flattered and curious. Pay her compliments, open doors for her, notice the details. Did she get her nails done? Tell her you love the color.

2. Don't Ever Tell Her She is a Cougar -
It's another double standard term label put on women that can be offensive. When men go after younger women its ok, but when a women does it, watch out! She's a "cougar".

3. Move to the City -
Places like California and New York see Cougar Dating as the newest hot trend. Think Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher, a very hot couple.

4. Don't Make Her Feel Old -
Just like the feeling you get when a waiter ask you for an ID when buying alcohol you want to replicate that feeling again and again. But don't be fake about it, like saying she looks like Cindy Crawford if she doesn't. Tell her you love how smart she is, or how amazing her legs look in those jeans.

5. Dating Sites -
These are exceptional places to find Cougar Dates, browse for your cougar in comfort of your house and let them come to you.

6. Give Her New Experiences -
Most women are looking to do things they never did when they were younger, whether that is shooting pool at the billiard, going to a concert, or playing mini golf with friends.

7. Don't be to Needy -
Older women are independent and don't want a guy controlling there life.

8. Make her Feel Young but no too Young -
Beer Binging and Halo War parties are out of the question. She doesn't want to feel like she stole you from the crib.

9. Let Her Rule the Bedroom -
She is probably way more experienced in this department, let her show you what she knows and what she likes.

10. Same Expectations -
Make sure you are both on the same page before getting into a deep relationship. Is she looking for a casual relationship or long-term. This is important to know so you're both not wasting your time.

Sex in The City: Should Women Ask Men Out on a Date?

Sex in The City

There is a lot of debate about whether women should ask men out. As a modern woman, it may seem trendy and cool to have the ability to ask a guy out on a date, but before you choose to reprise the role of Carrie from 'Sex in the City', you must consider your main objective for dating. Are you interested in something more casual or do you really want a more serious, committed relationship?

Although many men say they wouldn't mind it if a woman asked them out, it's really about understanding how a man perceives a woman who asks him out. He may be flattered, but the majority of men see women who ask them out as desperate, easy and probably interested in just a sexual relationship. So unless you are just looking for a fling, you'll want the man to pursue you.

A man, who is truly interested in you, will work up the nerve to ask you out. Besides, why on earth would a woman who is considering a man as a potential mate, want a man who isn't interested enough in her to ask her out? It also puts the women in a position of power when the man seeks her out.

Many woman today too often acquiesce their power in a relationship. I'm not talking about controlling the man here. But let's face it, no one likes to feel as though their being controlled or manipulated (Not to mention that this type of behavior typically backfires in the long run). I'm talking about controlling the process, not the man. Date men who want to date you. That said, if you want to know how to get the man to notice you and want to desire you enough to do the asking, 'Make Every Man Want You' gives great advice on how to flirt effectively.

I also just finished reading the new book by Steve Harvey, 'Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man' and it gives a lot of good advice about how women should establish themselves with men if they are interested in establishing a long term relationship. The 90 day rule is really a good way to weed out men who are just interested in "hooking up."

Woman can also use this period to date more than one guy. (MEN ARE DATING MORE THAN ONE WOMAN DURING THIS PERIOD, WHY SHOULDN'T YOU DATE MORE THAN JUST ONE MAN) Keep in mind that dating is not synonymous with having sex. You can date more than one guy at any given time and not have sex with any of them. Also, dating more than one guy during the beginning of the dating process will keep you from becoming fixated on one guy and projecting unrealistic expectations on to him in order to make him into what you want. If he is interested in a more exclusive relationship with you, he'll let his intentions be known. To learn more about how to effectively implement this strategy, I highly recommend Diana Kirschner's 'Love in 90 Days'

Sex in The City: Reflections on Women's Roles

Sex in The City

The other day I heard from a woman who was fired from her management track job for having a close friendship (not yet an affair) with a male colleague. From what I can tell the man was not fired.

Which got me on my soapbox again...My partner was surprised that that kind of dismissal would happen in this day and age. I told him that women are often treated badly and unequally in business out there in the corporate world, (as opposed to our little self-employed, protected non-corporate world of friends here).

Then I began reading the Women in Hollywood blog. First the writer mentioned how some great women's shows are being axed for next year (Men in Trees, one of my favs). On another WIH blog, Kristen Davis, one of the stars of Sex in the City addressed the eternal question of whether the four women get along or hate each other. Kristen's very smart point was that these questions were sexist and that people didn't repeatedly question the Sopranos stars in that way. Opening of Sex in the City in London

Still on WIH blog, Jennifer Fox, writer, producer and subject of Flying, a six-part series on Sundance takes the position that women without children aren't perceived as real women in our society. She says: "We define women as being married mothers actually". I think she has a valid point. Our culture often perceives child-free women as somehow different...lacking...selfish..oh, I don't know...But not complete.

And then of course there's the invisibility angle - the idea that women over a certain age (~45) just aren't noticed - it's like they're not even there. That's why two Australian women, who go by the names Loris and Lucy, began their eclectic blog for midlife women.

It pains me that this is happening in this day and age. We only have to look at Hilary Clinton and the ongoing "damned if she does, damned if she doesn't" criticisms of her and her campaign to see that we're a far cry from equality as yet.

Sex in The City: Sarah Jessica Parker's Sexy Slimdown Plan

Sex in The City

We all envied Sarah Jessica Parker playing Carrie in Sex in the City. She had the gossipy friends, the cute boyfriends, the hot social life but most of all the amazing toned body! I know I was frothing her body in the scenes where she was in underwear. I'm not some sort of lesbian, I like looking at girls with good bodies (my own personal thinspiration). After a sex in the city marathon I'd be hitting in the gym for about 2 hours.

So how did she do it? Well we do know she follows the South Beach Diet, but as always....we go a little deeper than that! I'm sure you want to know how many calories she eats, how she works out, any little secrets she might have. And yes of course you can find them here.

Do me a favor, don't just read it and think about it, if you are serious about making changes in your body, actually do it! Get up off your fat sorry ass and do something about it!

What Does Sarah Jessica Parker Eat?

The South Beach diet comes in three phases. In the phase one SJP eats the following for two weeks:

Lean meat, eggs, reduced-fat cheese, nuts, beans and plenty of vegetables.

BANNED FOODS: Bread, rice, potatoes, pasta, baked products, fruit, lollies or sugar.

Here is an example of what she would eat in a day during this time:

Breakfast: Poached eggs with spinach + a glass of V8 Veggie Juice

Lunch: Tuna salad with low-fat fetta

Dinner: Chicken Breast or fish fillet baked in the oven with steamed vegetables.

Snacks: Nuts, celery sticks with low0fat cottage cheese. Water and herbal teas.

How Does Sarah Jessica Parker Workout?

She says she does 'everyday exercise' and admits that she struggles to put on weight (I wish I had this problem!). Here is what the star says about her skinny frame "I'm always trying to put weight on." She added: "I'm an eater - and I love junk food. I'm going to wake up one day and I'll be triple my size and I'll say, 'Ha, the joke's on me!'". She can have some of my weight if she's that desperate.

Sex in The City: Sex In The City Causes Insomnia

Sex in The City

It's a great show, but Sex In The City really does cause insomnia.

Ah, many's the man Samantha has sent into fever-pitched ecstasy, their pulses racing - and those are just the ones watching the show.

Samantha really grabs your attention, but that's not great if for hours afterwards you can't get her off your mind.

That's where the insomnia comes in.

OK, I've teased you enough. My point is that watching reruns of Sex In The City in the bedroom is a very bad idea. And it's not just Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda that are to blame. It goes for any movie or show.

Ladies, I'm sure George Clooney or Brad Pitt have the same effect.

The thing is, the bedroom is for sleeping, not doing something that will stimulate your brain (or at least prevent it from "powering down") like watching TV.

It doesn't matter if it's a comedy or a tense drama, your mind will be engaged with the story unfolding on the screen and you'll find it hard to sleep once you do turn the TV off. You might also discover that - Holy Cow - it's 3 a.m. by the time that show ends.

Now I know a lot of people who have insomnia flick on the TV in the wee hours if they can't sleep. Others will put on the bedside lamp and read a book. Some prop themselves up in bed with the laptop and catch up on their email, or surf the Net. Still others do their accounting, flick through Vanity Fair or jot down a list of groceries they need to pick up.

Folks, this will make your insomnia worse!

If you are serious about tacking your fatigue and inability to sleep you need to clear TVs, radios, computers, cellphones, books, magazines and notebooks out of the bedroom and recondition your brain to regard this as a place you come to sleep. Period.

If you really can't sleep on the odd night, go to another room and read a book for a while. Just don't do it in the bedroom.

Remember the Golden Rule: The bedroom is for sleeping.

It might take a while, but once your mind is reconditioned to the idea that "this is the bedroom - it's time to sleep", you will be have won an important battle in your personal struggle with insomnia.

As I point out in my comprehensive ebook approach to treating sleep problems - Banish Insomnia - we live in an overstimulated world in which our brains are assaulted by media, email, text messages, phone calls and a thousand and one other distractions. We need one place in the house from which these things are banned - the bedroom.

If your bedroom is an oasis of calm and tranquility the chances are you'll sleep better and awake refreshed.

Now all that said, I should allow Samantha the last word. She lives by a creed that "sex is good for you" - and she's right.

Good sex releases natures natural painkillers and "feel good" chemicals - endorphins. They've been likened to morphine and can last for hours after they're released. It's no accident that a great night's sleep can follow great sex.

So you want a good night's sleep? Replace Samantha with the real thing!

Sex in The City: Why Desperate Housewives + Sex in the City = Edutainment TV Today

Sex in The City

I considered softening that title with a question mark, but in my mind it's not much of a question. First, let's establish just what I mean by edutainment.

Edutainment leisure programs that educate as well entertain.

Let's take a brief look at why I've singled out these two programs. I turned on the TV a couple of days ago and saw a promo for another channel that will bringing Sex in the City beyond the realm of HBO. I paused to think about how many women I'd heard use a character on the show as some frame of reference. The show has taken on viral proportions in syndication and that made me wonder if a similar fate awaited the newly touted Desperate Housewives.

Remember that book that was born from that now infamous catch phrase, "...just not into you" that has become a part of the American lexicon? Isn't that evidence that the show is teaching whether the people involved in creating it want it to or not. Sure some could argue the value of that particular lesson, but why doesn't anyone ask this one...

What kind of person doesn't know this as they're fast approaching 40 years of age?

I mean, how many years of dating, being dumped, sleeping around, and generally degrading yourself does it take to get that? I was trying to school my friends on that kind of stuff when I was 14 years old (and I have the letters to prove it).

I think there's a huge problem if a television show, rather than your life is educating you about how not to be a fool. The scores of women who reportedly wrote into the show inspiring the writing of the book mentioned previously are proof of the point I'm making here.

What you do is either taking you closer to or further away from what you really desire.

The problem, as I see it, is with the miseducation that occurs even more frequently as women look to these kind of shows to understand themselves or their lives. Prompted by a client who swore by the show, I did watch the final episode. Who thought that having the man you love finally presenting you with his real first name was indicative of a happy ending?

Now Desperate Housewives offers married, and often middle aged women, the same buffet served on a different table. The meal still stinks. Perhaps the designer fashions and parade of "beautiful people" are supposed to distract from the ugliness of the stories?

Why are there so many wedding magazines, television shows, books and websites while at the same time it's considered passe to end a movie with a wedding? How did this notion of right person for now morph into the notion marriage?

In my conversations with women I am surprised by how many religously watch week after week until the characters become the friends that understand their deepest and darkest secrets or inspire them to make secret fantasies reality.

Am I the only one struck by the lack of depth of this kind of characterization of women's lives? Why are so many people relating to these lost to themselves, materialistic, shallow people that television art has breathed life into?

Better yet, if you're one of those people, do you aspire to fill yourselves on a rehashed meal that someone has scooped off the floor or does that variety of edutainment inspire you to be more...to be better, not just on the surface but in the quality of person that you are inside. Or perhaps you just want validation that you're not as messed up as you fear?

The life you move through each day is the result of what's going inside, whether you admit it or not. Even if your secrets are well kept, you know what they are, you live every day fearing everyone else will know too. That is a point that goes right to the heart of what real self esteem is based on or why it is severely lacking.

So much emphasis is placed on how things appear that I fear no one cares anymore about what a thing, or a person, actually IS. What I see in magazines, commercials, and TV shows doesn't resemble anything I'd classify as beautiful...It is mostly empty and pushing the same old misogynistic images of women that mainstream media has always hyped (with few exceptions).

As a woman I know we tend to define ourselves by our closest relationships. But what happens when you avoid facing your true motivations for creating the life/relationships you have?

I guess if there's any value, besides to the advertisers for whom the show was really created, it'd be that it could prompt viewer (loyal or otherwise) to ask themselves this question.....

What unmet needs are being denied that drive someone to become their own worst enemy?

And more importantly---

What's it going to take to change that?

Sex in The City: Sarah Jessica Parker's Style in the City

Sex in The City

Sarah Jessica Parker, the star of HBO's hit show "Sex in the City", was spotted in New York City with her son James Wilkie Broderick in tow. Sarah Jessica Parker, whose character 'Carrie Bradshaw' was always seen as a trendsetter who loved wearing expensive shoes like Manolo Blahniks and Jimmy Choos, is actually quite thrifty. Sarah Jessica Parker mentioned that she actually has a fondness for labels like Top Shop which give shoppers value for their money. "I just can't believe what they do for, like, $70. I love that they make fashion available for all women. That's why everything in my own fashion range Bitten is under $20," Sarah Jessica Parker said.

Sarah Jessica Parker's style in real life can be called sensible chic, as shown by what she wears around Manhattan. Just a few days ago, she was seen wearing a grey ribbed puffy jacket while waiting for her husband Matthew Broderick. On other news, Sarah Jessica Parker's "Sex in the City" co-star, Kim Cattrall, let it slip that there could be a sequel to the hit movie version of "Sex in the City" in the works. However, when Sarah Jessica Parker was asked for confirmation, she said, "I'm thrilled to know Kim is excited, but all the deals are not yet done. With 'the wind on our heels,' we hope to make it a reality." She added, "I think shooting next summer is a realistic timetable. That's when we'd start shooting to be out in 2010. But that means we need to figure this out in the next couple of months... We've had very general conversations about the idea. That's the big hurdle: the idea. The studio is very enthusiastic, which is lovely and seductive."

Sarah Jessica Parker is also known to be a great supporter of the arts, which was in proud display during the 2008-2009 Season Opening Night Celebration for the New York City Ballet held a few nights ago in the David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center. Sarah Jessica Parker was wearing a black mini dress with silver accents and trimmed with lace, which she accessorized with black stockings and black and silver heels.

Sex in The City

Sex in the city can be drastically different from sex in small town America. You have such a wider variety of partners, and with that comes a responsibility to really master your sexual intimacy.

Because of this vast variety of different types of individuals, different ethnicities, different attitudes and beliefs, and altogether different character traits, you have to arm yourself with a few important sexual know how skills.

1. Learn as many sexual techniques and tips as possible! This will ensure that no matter who you end up meeting, you'll have a good chance of being able to please and pleasure that individual because of your sexual know-how on a variety of techniques. Very important.

2. Your confidence needs to reach for the sky. More variety also means more competition. And the individuals who win out, are always the one's who have some confidence and can use it. The beauty of a big city is that you can let it all loose and go for broke! Chances are you may never even see the person your trying to go for, as opposed to a small town where chances are you likely would. So even if you aren't naturally confident, you can still take a chance without much pressure.

Sex in The City: Social Impact & Cultural Effect of Sexually Inept Exploring & Celebrating Sex

Sex in The City

Sex in the City penetrates every culture.

We all like to explore and celebrate our masculinity and femininity. People of all ages from high-schoolers to senior citizens will fill the multiplexes salivating to satiate their appetite for sexuality.

Sex transcends the culture divide and happily awakens people of all ages inside. Whether sex be a present reality or a distant fantasy, everyone loves to hear about and explore their sexuality.

Many who lack relational skill and sexual aptitude will laugh, although little will be learned. Nevertheless the ongoing hope of true love has its allure.

The absurdity and foolishness of people being mesmerized by the big screen rather than living their own lives is disheartening for some, but not for those looking to enjoy a laugh and have some fun.

My wife is but one who has created a Meetup group for locals in Orlando to get together, make friends, and attend the viewing of Sex in the City. My Canadian princess is oh so pretty!

The genius of the movie was achieved rather simply. Sex is seductive and sells.

Undoubtedly sex feels good, but is not always fulfilling. Truly sex is not love, neither is it life. Promiscuity and perversity can damage your inner purity, lead to relational erosion, and obstruct relational progression.

Building a relationship from the inside out is far more meaningful than merely being a sexual connoisseur. Not to mention with the widespread outbreak of incurable sexual diseases, monogamy is becoming hotter and more desirable daily.
