This made me laugh OG. Not to bring up last year’s tequila incident but I will anyway just because it was epic and so much fun to read 
Can you do it again? please
Okay, I’ll stop poking at that one now.

Tequila incidents are always epic.
Mind if we go back to the older/younger/dating/divorced/kids discussion for a minute?
What if a man does not want to talk much about his past relationships is he a dick? What if a young man chases older women because they are usually much better in life period? Also, do they have a name for that? ie. cougar for women?
I don’t see cougar as a bad thing, but maybe I see it from a different context. I’m almost 33 and most men my age are practically dead let alone most men even a few years older than me, so to me “cougars” are just looking for a male with some life in him…maybe…thoughts.
Oh btw hello OG, I’m Free, I don’t think we’ve spoken before.

I’ll give you my answer. OG is free to pound back a couple of tequila’s and answer for herself
I enjoy younger men but not because they are younger. I enjoy people for who they are. I don’t actively search out people based on their age. In my opinion, cougar has a negative connotation. In my mind, it implies a certain air of desperation and predation. What annoys me about some younger men is that they think they should be considered quite a catch solely by dint of the fact that they are young; we should fall over and spread our legs because some young cock is offering itself up. hahaha. That may be reality for some people, but not the ones I know.
I don’t think you’d be considered a dick for not talking about past relationships but, ultimately, it will be a road block for you. People need to see a map of your life to get a feel for who you are. A big part of that is romantic relationships. You don’t have to spill your guts in the first 5 minutes but it will need to be discussed over time.

I think I need to do fewer reps and heavier weights.
Look at Mark Rippetoe’s Starting Strength program, it’s your basic 5x5.
Oh yeah, stop avoiding the squat rack. You’re balance won’t improve if you don’t practice. So what if you fall on your ass a few times. Maybe some fine looking dude will offer to spot your squat. Then you can fall backwards on purpose.
alright, alright Tuesday - squatting

You will be fine. I feel the same way about lunges. When it comes to them, I have horrible balance issues but I will have to get over it.
I’ll be rooting for you tonight OG. Go git’ em girl!
Oh and FWIW, I find front squats to be a bit more stabilizing but that is just me.
Tootles: Lunges f* me up too still. Right leg is ok, left…not so much. Even though I know a can add more weight, I don’t for fear that I will topple over. It takes time to establish that whole brain/muscle/balance connection. At least that is my excuse…LOL! (I’m not clumsy, I’m just creating new neural pathways).
Looking forward to tonights update…

Thank you, that all sounds reasonable and it isn’t that I don’t want to discuss it but I think it is often done too soon.I had a female who was 41 turn me down based on my age. She is 41 and we had a great date to the coffee bar, after that she said, “How old are you?” I told her she said, “Oh, I can’t date men younger than me.” Wow…she emails me but that is as far as it goes.

that is pretty much my take. Cougar just has an ugly ring to it.

so cute you said “almost 33”!!!
I wouldn’t not go out with a man just because of his age as too young or too old. There are some younger men that have already grabbed a hold of life and lived and then so sad, there are those older men who have not have not hurled themselves into life. Don’t we all know someone who could be a 40yr Old Virgin, not just in regards to sex but just in life experience?
But I am not a fan of the younger men that do think I am going to chase them down now that I am older.
Nice to meet you Free =)

I’d date you. You just have to come up this way
I think you are right in information being shared too soon. Sometimes people seem to have the impression their life is reality t.v. and feel the need to spill everything immediately. It’s like a huge information vomit. As trite as it sounds, she’s not the one for you.

wow that is a shady lady. If you had a nice time at the coffee bar your age should not have mattered.
haha! and I don’t like dates that turn into a therapy session. Talk of ex’s happen, it just does, but if they just want to vent the whole time I think I should get paid.

Fixed that for ya
“that is pretty much my take. Cougar just has an ugly ring to it.”
I’ll be sure not to use it. How about HOT? 
“so cute you said “almost 33”!!!”
See you didn’t have to go and call me cute, that is just so wrong!
“I’d date you. You just have to come up this way :)” Now you did it, you thought I was stalking you before? ;0
“I think you are right in information being shared too soon. Sometimes people seem to have the impression their life is reality t.v. and feel the need to spill everything immediately. It’s like a huge information vomit. As trite as it sounds, she’s not the one for you.”
Yeah, seems like most people want to talk about stuff way too soon and seem to think if you don’t do the same that you are afraid to talk…not me, just like to make sure it is worth my time first and hell, what happened to a little bit of fun for awhile? Oh she defiantly is not the one for me. I just thought the whole thing seriously weird! I am humored by her though.
See Ouro, I was thinking it should say I should get laid, but I doubt she has that problem, still…funny.
This was more fun than I expected. Thanks ladies, I am probably the worst man in the world for guessing what a woman is thinking, that makes me very forward in just asking and hoping for a straight answer.

In my experience such an information vomit is an indication for covering up uncertainty. Or it could be an outcry for attention, mostly negative.
^^
Not at all, IMHO. It makes you just like every other man, which is usually where they go wrong.
^^
The method I prefer.

x2. “32 & 3/4” would have been “spit out my tea” funny.

Good advice. Honestly, I try not to read people’s minds or decipher their intentions regardless of gender. Because I’m a woman does not automatically mean I know what other women are thinking. Asking is always a good bet.
OG, can you change your log name to reflect all the older women/younger men/dating analysis going on?
Maybe something along the lines of Oprah ninja’s.
I’m glad we are all having fun at my expense!
I once made a friend spit milk all over another friend, that was freaking epic! Sticks better than tea. I’m only funny if you are really twisted though.
I’d have to say 32 and 7/8 so there! Like anyone could know that! GEE!
I can’t stand Okrah! How 'bout the Ninja Love Connection.
