The Bad Boys

by Susan Deitz

DEAR SUSAN: Many women complain to you that a boyfriend won't commit or won't get a divorce, that there are no good men out there, or all the guy wants is sex. The news is full of women being killed or badly roughed up by jealous ex-boyfriends. And yet they gravitate toward the bad boys — and when they try to leave the relationship, it makes headline news.

Dear Jeff J. , I don't beleive that your happiness lies in working with a personal trainer . Nor do I believe that your happiness is back in the 1960s . It's really about going outside your comfort zone and getting to know yourself , deeply and truly. Why lament that petite or average size women are not interested in you romantically ? Are you interested in the many women in your age group who might be 20 or 30 pounds overweight instead of 20 or 30 pounds underweight ? As much as you can't help your weight problem , they can't either. Most people usually do the best they can with what they've got. If they are still not perfect , well then they are just human. As a women just over 50 , I can tell you that the physical challenges in this part of my life are almost equal to those in the childbearing years. It's just a matter of perspective. The ability to see another human being for who they are is what I am after in my own evolution . How about you? Don't give up ... it's not fair to you or anyone else you are here to touch , love, comfort and enrich. Laura W. , L.I. , N.Y.
