Why Dating An Older Guy Is Better For You
Genius Quotes

It's a universally known fact that boys are stupid, some more than others. But, no matter how stupid we may think they are, we can't live without them...or can we? Or maybe girls are just dating the wrong type of guys. Older guys make for better, healthier and happier relationships and here are some reasons why:

1. They're more mature.

Every girl knows that guys their age just aren't mature enough for their liking. Older guys are a closer match to you as far as maturity levels go. They're mature but they still know how to have fun. It's a win/win.

2. They have real goals.

Older guys' only concerns aren't whether or not he can shotgun more beers in an hour than his friends. They're more concerned about where they want to be in five years, where they want to live and how they're going to make their life better.

3. They're experienced.

Chances are that if you're dating an older guy, you're not his first serious relationship. He may have had one, he may have had a few. He knows what a real relationship entails and doesn't.

4. They're not worried about what their friends think.

Most guys are constantly worried about their friends telling them that they're "whipped" or "tied down" when really they're just trying to be a good boyfriend. Older guys will take their friends' advice into consideration, but they won't let it dictate their relationship.

5. Commitment is *less* scary to them.

Not saying that all older guys are ready to settle down, but they've definitely thought about it at least once. Even if marriage isn't really their thing, they are still pretty willing to commit to you as your one and only.

6. They won't get caught up in the petty he said/she said stuff.

Mature guys won't waste time on the little things. He's not worried about gossip or side chatter and if something is up, he's going to talk to you first.

7. They're more willing to negotiate and compromise.

Older guys know that in a relationship, things are never "my way or the highway". Negotiation and compromising are major keys in a relationship.

8. They don't like going to bed angry.

Couples argue; it's a known fact. But rather than going to bed angry, older guys know it's important to work things out when the argument cools down.

9. They know your value.

Odds are, your guy has been through some heartaches and made some mistake that he doesn't want to make again. He knows the concept of "you don't know what you have until it's gone" and won't let you forget how much you mean to him.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
