At 64 yo I've been in a number of relationships and gone thru a lot of life's experiences. We all have rocky times in our lives but I have done my best with each instance and am the happiest and most successful person I know. I am upbeat and optimistic, and always try to make others feel the same. I really enjoy seeing someone shine, especially a young person with true talent.

I live in Los Angeles and am on the liberal side. I am a little more accepting of some predicaments than other DQ helpers. As for spirituality, I am agnostic and live purely by the Golden Rule...Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. This very simply covers EVERYTHING!

In 2015 I had shoulder surgery (rotator cuff), which resulted in my left arm being tied to my side, 24/7 for the next month. I was mostly at home and spending a lot of time browsing the internet. I found Dear Cupid and - disappointed by the way some people were letting themselves be treated so poorly - decided to post some answers. I discovered that I was giving the questions much more thought than if just reading them. So this has become a matter of personal growth for me as well as extending help to others. Depending on what's going on in my life I get on here and read questions sporadically, and answer only a minority of them. If I read but don't answer a question it is because either 1) I don't feel I have any good advice to give or add, or 2) the info provided in the question isn't sufficient for me to make a judgement.

My favorite quote: "People tend to believe two things...what they want to believe and what scares the hell out of them."

Should I pay an escort to go on a date with me?

Q.   I'm a male virgin who's never been on a date or kissed a girl ever. I live alone. I have a big collection of films and film memorabilia. I'm very shy. Partially due to my obesity, and that lots of girls in high school and college would say I was ...

A.   18 November 2015: Going out with an escort wouldn't put you any closer to a having a relationship with a woman, which I'm sure you would like. Don't be discouraged by your lack of success at on-line dating...most women are very cautious and the ones who you wou... (read in full...)

A.   16 November 2015: If I was your wife's dad I might understand you two having your difficulties but I would go nuclear if I knew you'd physically abused her. That could very well be at the heart of his anger. Have a very sincere talk with him, admitting what has... (read in full...)

A.   15 November 2015: Darn. I hate to see you stuck in this dilemma and my heart goes out to you. If your job doesn't pay enough for you to live even a minimalist life style, you certainly understand the value of getting an education. Have you approached your colle... (read in full...)

Have I opened a Pandoras box by allowing my Bf to call me vulgar names when we have sex?

Q.   I am having a big issue with my boyfriend. When we have sex he always calls me very derogatory names. I am very offended by this; but in some situations I have went with it, in the moment you know! Have I opened a Pandoras box? I never here I lov...

A.   15 November 2015: Yikes! That would be a huge turn-off for me, too. You don't mention how he expresses his love for you outside of the bedroom. If he doesn't tell you sweet things at all, that is a sign that you should move on. Here's an idea on how to handl... (read in full...)

A.   12 November 2015: It sounds like enough drama is going on in your house. Wait until you are in your own place to practice nudism. Your mom certainly must have her worries with chemo and cancer, and your dad will probably drink even more. I would not be ashamed or ... (read in full...)

Having sexual thoughts about an older man

Q.   Hello aunts I need some advice on what to do about this older guy. I'm 24 and he's 32, now I've never been attracted to older guys. Never! But I keep thinking about him in a sexual way. We're both single but I just want to "sleep" with him because...

A.   2 November 2015: My first impression is that a 32yo guy is not necessarily too old for a 24yo woman. If you want a relationship with him, go on several dates with him without having sex. If things click, then have protected sex with him. But it appears that you... (read in full...)

A.   1 November 2015: Achieving good sex is not nearly important as the question as to why he wasn't interested for the first three years! Every guy I knew at that age was hot and heavy to have sex. When I was a virgin I would have gone for it even if I'd just run two ... (read in full...)
