Dating in your 30s

-
I was chatting yesterday with my partner-in-crime from Detroit Synergy, Paula Turner. She said something that I thought was incredibly profound.

She said that dating in your 30s is a lot like shopping for luggage. Everyone in their 30s already has a certain amount of emotional "baggage". The whole dating process at this point is really about finding someone with a matching set.

LOL - I've always thought of baggage in terms of being sent on a guilt trip. But then I had to wonder why I always seemed to let other people do my packing for me.

There's a great exchange in the musical RENT:

ROGER
I've been trying - I'm not lying
No one's perfect. I've got baggage

MIMI
Life's too short, babe, time is flying
I'm looking for baggage that goes with mine

Hope all is well with you!

Liza,

You are one of the few people I know who could weave a Broadway musical into a conversation on dating in your 30s.

Love & laughter,
Frank

It's true. Frank's blog is number six on Google for the term "Dating in your 30s".

I found dating in my 30s to be a lot of fun, if mystifying at times. I'm betting, though, that "Dating in your 40s" is a Google whack [returns no results] because it just doesn't happen !

Oh, I did Google DIY40s, and it's a pretty complete list. Hmm.

I no longer worry so much about baggage, hers or mine, and dating since discovering fromage and cribbage. The combination is so good, one overlooks even saggage. What I desire most, though, is Mick Jaggage. That cat can date across the slate !

Hayley Williams Flashes Twitter

I have to confess, I had no idea who Hayley Williams  was prior to this morning nor did I have any idea who the band Paramore was. In fact, now that I do know, I'm not all that certain that I really care about Paramore. But I digress. The thing is, sometime last night, Hayley Williams' Twitter account was reportedly hacked. This resulted in a photo of Hayless Williams topless making its way onto the internet. Hayley Williams insists that it was a simple security breach. Personally, I can't help but feel that this smells too much like a publicity stunt. Either way, the photo is out there and a lot more people suddenly know who Hayley Williams is - coincidence or not. Oh, and yes - it has taken an enormous amount of restraint for me to not show the uncensored version of that photo.

I was surfing the web last night, looking for more news on Kristen Bell . I came across this post on TMZ.com about Kristen at the beach . They were critical of the photo of her to the left, but admired her in the one to the right. I don't care what the folks at TMZ say. Granny shades or not. Hair up or down. Kristen Bell looks darn hot.
