Throughout college and even after, my friends were all in the same age range, but over time I've found that the ages of my friends drastically vary. I've grown closer to the younger siblings of my friends, but also befriended women who are closer to my mom’s age than my own. And frankly, I appreciate the variation.

When you reach a certain age, it's only human to think more seriously about your future in relation to the dating game. If getting married and having kids is of interest to you, many women are of the mindset that time is of the essence. Sure, dating is fun, but if there's no real connection, is there a point of going through the motions with someone you don't inevitably see yourself with?

If you were worried that your sex life would start to wither away once you got older, new research should get you excited for old age. It turns out that in a
Swedish study, both male and female 70 year olds said they have more sex now than they did in their 40s. If that wasn't promising enough, those same women said their sex lives were more satisfying.
