Sex And The Biddy

by Amy Alkon

I'm an attractive, 42-year-old single mom with a 13-year-old son. I've been widowed for three years, and I'm finally ready to date. I've found myself increasingly attracted to this man (actually, I'm yearning to jump his bones), but he's only 32. I sense the attraction may be mutual. The problem is, I'm the queen of mixed signals. If a good-looking guy checks me out in the grocery store, I scurry to another aisle and kick myself later. After this guy went out of his way to call to say he wish ...

Own Worst Enemy should go for the younger guy. Just being seen with him with raise her "hotitude" with other men. Meanwhile she will be more relaxed from having sex on a regular basis and will stop seeming so desperate. If younger guy turns out to be The One, fine. But if not, more guys will start approaching her just because she now seems so confident.

As for the fellow in the last letter who isn't gay but sometimes comes off that way...I think Alkon's advice was piss-poor in that she didn't answer his question ("Are there hobbies or traits I could adopt to seem more masculine?") Yes. Take up guns and shooting, perhaps even hunting. I promise you there is nothing more masculine than that. Also, think about taking up woodworking or something else that requires the use of power tools. Go fishing. Cultivate an interest in football -watching it or better yet, actually playing. Even though a few women (and yes, gay males) also partake of these, they're all stereotypically macho activities that swishy "pretty boys" tend to avoid. Also, I think the letter-writer should check his appearance, at least the parts he can control. Is he wearing designer jeans, expensive shoes, fancy or frilly or girly-looking shirts? Spiked or dyed hair? Does he have a lot of piercings? These can all lead to the impression that a man is gay. Just a few suggestions. Take up some macho hobbies, dress simply, and talk about guy stuff - hot women, power tools, guns, knives, football. Just some thoughts.
