From Monica regarding comments

Submitted by Monica (United States), Mar 9, 2008 at 23:02

I appreciate all comments and how you fee about this issue.

In some comment I read I have been told that I used the war as an excuse of what happened to me. Well,not really... If you have not been in Iraq,you just do not have any idea what we have gone through as human beings. Yes,you do become more vulnerable to other things and people. I was one of the lucky ones that returned home all in one peace, but I almost lost my life within a few hours.

I did not look at this young men like someone in another comment mentioned. Someone said the word "cougar". Well, may be I wish I were a cougar for animals are prove that are better than human beings in many respects. I am have Native American,and for thousands of years,women have had a major role in our culture. Patriarchal societies are to blame for all that is happening nowadays and how society visualizes women, as mere objects.

It is time for society to have a different outlook at women. If men can date much younger women,so women can date much younger men.If women can hold high position jobs in society and governemnt so can women.

When I meet someone,I do not look at the age,I see in what things we are compatible to each other. By saying this,I do not mean the age,I mean personality likes and dislakes. This was the first young men I have ever dated. Older men are normally loaded of problems with ex-wives and children,sometimes they are even married. I told this young men the truth about my age,otherwise,he thought I was very young.

Sometimes a person falls in love,well that happened to me. It does not matter that he was in his 20's,30's or 40's.

Please guys out there, become less macho and realize that all women for younger that may be now will become older one day,and you guys are going to get old too. At the end we all get old and we die. The soul and the personality is the essence of the human being and the true meaning of life.
