Real Cougar Women are uber independent. There isn’t much we can’t figure out on our own, but at the same time, we know how to make the man in our life feel needed and wanted.
Here are 6 proven secrets for balancing your relationship and keeping your guy feel loved and appreciated.
1. Show him you’re partners. There’s a big difference between showing your man you need him (which he craves) and being needy (which terrifies him). A good partner wants to make you happy, to comfort you when you’re having a bad day, and to support you along your journey.
2. Ask his opinion. Guys love to feel that their opinion is valued (who doesn’t, really?) So if you’re angling for a promotion at work or wondering how to deal with a difficult boss, ask your guy for his thoughts. Keep in mind that men are a solution-oriented sex, so be prepared for him to suggest an action plan.
3. Let him make plans. Real Cougars want to do it all which isn’t the greatest way to show a man you care. Give him the chance to help you and to surprise you. Yes, he may not do things exactly the way you do, but that can be a good thing.
4. Ask him to help you with a “manly” task. Nothing boosts a man’s ego like doing something, well, manly. My husband revels in his ability to put together a piece of Ikea furniture that comes in 279 pieces. Again its about letting him know he’s needed and you that you really can’t do it ALL yourself.
5. Let him teach you about something he loves. Whether it’s olitics, football, investing, your guy is passionate about something you know nothing about. So ask him to tell you about it…then let him take you to a game, or plan a trip, or set a budget. He’ll be so appreciative that you took the time to learn about something that’s important to him, and the bonding experience will be priceless.
6. Thank him. When your guy shares some information that you find interesting, or cracks you up with a funny story, or helps you figure out a problem that’s been baffling you, be sure to thank him. Let him know that he’s the only one who can make you laugh that hard, and the person who understands you best. The warm, fuzzy, confident feeling he gets when he’s around you will keep him coming back for more, guaranteed!
Give these tips a try and watch how he makes a special effort to show you how much YOU are needed.

Women seem to be living by the principle of ‘don’t get mad, get everything’. And often, they go on getting everything for years, long after time has been called on their marriage.
In these days of equal education, opportunities and access to professional careers, women are still expecting (and receiving) huge and continuing settlements when a marriage ends.
I consider myself an advocate for women, but I don’t see why today’s divorcing women should expect any kind of settlement at all.
If modern marriage is an equal partnership, divorce should be the same, surely, with both parties getting out what they have put in, as when any other type of contract ends.
Yet modern women are still positioning themselves as the weaker of the two sexes having to be kept by a big strong man, whether married or divorced. We have fought for equality, and many battles have been won, but divorcing women are still portraying pathetic little housewives unable to fend for themselves, before ruthlessly fleecing the men they once professed to love.
Want to secure a juicy settlement? Based on the Heather Mills principle, have a kid. The presence of a child will ensure generous maintenance payments for years, maybe decades, to come.
It’s easy for an attractive woman to use her charm and wiles to entrap a rich man, all the time calculating the cash they receive when they can call time on the marriage. Why can’t they women give that kind of forethought into developing careers and financial independence rather than sponging off someone else?
The bulk of women are married to ordinary earners and they too can be set up for years with the house, car, custody of children and a regular lump sum in their accounts.
Some divorcees are reluctant to remarry, in case they kill the goose that lays the golden egg — maintenance usually stops when you have another husband to support you — so they are content with boyfriends and lovers.
When a wife has been brutally dumped, there might be greater grounds for sympathy. But these days, an estimated 70 per cent of divorces are brought by women. What are these women being paid for, when no longer married?
One woman, let’s call her Jane, was married for about 20 years when she decided she wanted a divorce. There were no particular grounds, and no one else was involved. Both parties got a lawyer, and Jane was awarded 85 per cent of the joint assets. There were no children and she had never worked.
In 2013, women who demand everything and expect maintenance forever after, should hang their heads in shame. We must prove to ourselves that we are not simpering victims, but proud, strong and, above all, financially independent females.

Can an affair actually help save a troubled marriage? Believe it or not many women say it can.
1 in 3 reported that infidelity helped boost their marital sex life.
Of those who do have affairs, 73 per cent said that they are doing it because they feel neglected by their spouse or partner.
Among the women who said that neglect was the reason for their infidelity, many also cited not having their emotional needs met – a factor that played a significant role in their decision to find someone else. This doesn’t come as a shock. Feeling under appreciated, neglected and taken for granted is a common war cry amongst women.
‘The reality is that many people can’t leave their partners for financial reasons and women in particular are usually reluctant to sacrifice their family life.
‘So they are taking care of their needs outside marriage. They’re stepping into the male arena when it comes to infidelity.’
Relationship expert, Tracey Cox, comments: ‘Sometimes an affair can be a wake up call for a marriage and jolt one or both partners into realizing just how important they are to each other and how devastating it would be to lose them.’
But, in general, betrayal isn’t an easy pill to swallow by either partner. Once the bond of trust is broken it’s very hard to knit it back together.
The way to solve problems in a relationship is to talk about them and confront them before there’s the temptation to play away.
Everyone wants to be desired. If a married couple agree they both want to have sex elsewhere, it’s their decision. But when one person in a marriage wants to sleep with someone else but the other doesn’t, it will cause great pain.

Did you ever meet a woman who was satisfied with her body? I haven’t. You think you are too big here, too small there, and whatever you do to look better – it’s never enough.
But, how deep do these insecurities really lie and how much do they affect our day-to-day lives?
Dr. Bijal Chheda-Varma, a psychologist specializing in body image at London’s Capio Nightingale Hospital, decided to find out using the silhouette test. She says: ‘The silhouette test is widely used among psychologists because it’s a very simple way to determine how unhappy a woman is with her shape’.
The women involved in the test were asked to identify the size they think they are from a range of body shapes, ranked from one to nine (with one being very underweight and nine very overweight).
Next, they were asked to pick the size they’d like to be.
The difference between the two numbers is their body dissatisfaction score and, with a little computer trickery, they were shown how they see their bodies compared to reality.
‘Basically, the bigger the gap between the shape a woman thinks she is and the shape she’d like to be, the more upset she is about her body. Most women tend to have a distorted view.
‘While men tend to be more accurate, the average woman is likely to pick a shape one or two points from reality.
According to Dr Chheda-Varma, body dissatisfaction in women is on the rise.
She says: ‘I’m seeing a growing number who do not have eating disorders, but even so they have increasing body dissatisfaction scores.
‘They often come to me for different reasons, like depression and anxiety, and it emerges that body image and food consumption are underlying factors.
‘From what these women tell me, it’s clear how the high standards they are setting themselves and how anxious the pressure to be perfect can make women feel.’
Ladies, what we do to ourselves is criminal. You have to ask yourself why are you so hard on yourself?

Sometimes you just get fed up with people telling you how tired you look. It’s those dark circles and under eye bags that make you look like you haven’t slept in weeks. Concealer can help but too often it just accentuates what you are trying to hide.
Now there is a more permanent solution to heavy under eye bags.
Promising to soften dark circles in just ten minutes, cosmetic surgeons are injecting filler into the eye bags for the new treatment that lasts two to four years.
Dr Alexander Rivkin, a Los Angeles based-facial cosmetic surgeon, said of the in-office procedure which does not require anesthesia: ‘It really is the fountain of youth for the eyes.’
Tear-trough fillers: Promising to soften dark circles in just ten minutes, cosmetic surgeons are injecting filler into the eye bags for the new treatment that lasts two to four years.
The dermatologist-offered procedure called tear-trough fillers, where hyaluronic acid such as Restylane or Juvéderm is injected to make the eyes appear better rested, costs from $600 to $1,000.
However injecting the eye area is not without risks. If the filler blocks a retinal artery, it can cause blindness, but that’s rare. The usual side effects of the tear-trough treatment range from puffy eyes to possible bruising, which usually subsides within one week.
Melissa Beretich told Good Morning America: ‘What I’m hoping to come out with is to be able to go back to what I was doing four to five years ago, and not wear makeup. The ten minute procedure with New York City-based plastic surgeon, Dr Steven Pearlman, Ms Beretich said she ‘absolutely’ saw a difference in her eyes and felt no pain at all.
Dr Pearlman explained: ‘What this treatment is doing is camouflaging the bags. For people who only have mild [eye] bags, it’s a way to stave off the need for surgery by filling in that hollow.
