Should I freeze my eggs?
Pregnancy after 40, if not impossible, is difficult for one simple reason: lower egg quality. Since a woman only has eggs that she is born with (no new eggs are produced in her lifetime), they decline in quality over time, often developing genetic defects. Thus, not only is her fertility going down, chances of her having a child with genetic disorder or having a miscarriage also go up.
One of the scenarios that has been presented is that if a woman realizes that she will not be able to become a mother by 35 (the normal age at which woman should finish having all kids), she can freeze her eggs, which can then be fertilized using an IVF procedure, and hopefully, she can have a healthy child at whatever age she is ready.
First of all, there is not enough evidence that all this will go so smoothly. Secondly, a woman's hormonal levels and physical strength changes with age and even though a fit woman will make a better mom at 40 than an unfit woman at 20, simply freezing eggs does not mean that she will conceive and have a healthy child.
Having said, there is no risk at all, except the money that you will need to spend on extraction and preservation.

How to date a sugar mama?
You know the term "sugar daddy." He is a wealthy, older man who uses his money to hang out (or even marry) drop dead gorgeous, but younger girls.
Do you know the term "cougar?" She is an older woman who dates younger guys. She may or may not be rich.
So combine a sugar daddy with a cougar and you get a sugar mama. She is basically looking for her boy toy either because men her age are already married or are divorced with children with all kinds of issues that they have paying for child support and the mid life crisis that often turns them into cynics. These women want no drama, just studs to have a good time.
So how can you get one of them?
I spoke to a few women like that and they all mentioned good physique as their #1 requirement. They also do not have much need for men in sneakers and baseball caps who look more like the men that deliver their laundry. They want men that literally step out of a GQ magazine. You don't need to have the money, but you better be interesting, have a sense of humor, and have no attitude.

How to organize Valentines Day dinner?
I like to believe that we should be romantic to our partners every day. And definitely there is no excuse for being mean the rest of the year and then making up for it on Valentine's Day or wedding anniversary.
In any case, having a great Valentine's Day is one of telling your partner how much you care. And despite all the advertising that women will be happy only if they receive a diamond or lingerie or chocolate, the reality is that any woman is smart enough to figure out the thought.
