For people over 50, getting back onto the scene can be hard and often scary. If you think all decent guys in their thirties are married, finding decent men in their fifties or sixties is like looking for a needle in a haystack. So what did this guy do for his mom? He began looking in a really big haystack – the entire world. He shot, edited and uploaded to YouTube one of the most original profiles you’ve ever seen and his mom’s reaction when she saw it is just priceless.

  1. Have you read the book “While Science Sleeps, a Sweetener Kills”? It’s a must. It’s about artificial sweeteners and their extreme damage. Sugar is also more dangerous than cocaine.

  2. Great list, some I would not have thought of. If you will ask me what to choose between renting a guy or a car, i’ll pick the car and go on a joyride while eating a whole box of krispy kreme(lol). Also, I found this very helpful. Everyone should know this, esp. the second article. Thank you for sharing ,some of these is very useful for me. 🙂

  3. This series is so interesting and informative. I’ll never date or get into a relationship with a person i don’t know and will never chase a guy. And i do not want to look desperate in finding a partner. Thank you so much for the great info. I look forward to future posts.

  5. Amazing series! I wish to spend my weekend camping in new york. It’s surprising renting a boyfriend . I won’t try it. Happy to know that doughnut is not having more sugar than some other fast foods. Thanks for sharing such informative articles.

  6. Interesting article “renting-a-boyfriend”.the BF for hire doesn’t think he’ll find love on the job because no one would ever take him seriously, his job pays the bills and lets him travel. Normally, he’s hired by single women to fend off family members, but he’s even played the role of entertaining mistresses when their men are out of town.

  7. I am truly addicted to sugar. I also have stopped eating bread and other starches that I have learned get converted to sugar within the body. Hang in there. I know I feel so much better when I abstain.

  8. Great series! I am actually more shocked at the fact that a Krispy Kreme donut only has 10 grams of sugar and it’s healthier than some other food – that’s truly HARD to believe!!
