Product Description:
On December 31, 2004, the last of the baby boomer generation will turn forty. Of the 97 million Americans already 45 or older, almost 40% are single. Middle-aged men suffer performance anxiety and over-forty women harbor deep insecurities about their bodies. These and many other problems prevent baby boomers from seeking and forming loving relationships with members of the opposite sex. Yet, single baby boomers are afraid of growing old and dying alone. Patsy Stagner, in her new book, 'Baby Boomer Bachelorette or, How to Have Sex at Least Once More Before You Die,' challenges baby boomers to rise up and rebel against the status quo. She shows them how to maintain their mental, physical and spiritual prowess. Most of all, she teaches over-forties how to meet the man or woman of their dreams, and achieve a meaningful relationship and a fulfilling sex life.
'I’m fed up with baby boomers being told the last half of their lives doesn’t count,' Stagner says. In her crusade to convince boomers to start a new life, she explodes many long-held myths about over-forty dating and sex: the necessity of self-esteem; everyone who claims to have a sense of humor actually has one; you should never tell a lie; it’s desirable to make love all night; and many others. Readers receive practical and efficient instructions on how to overcome dating anxieties, shake off inertia, achieve vibrant health, and master dating and sex techniques designed to overcome problems associated with middle-age. 'Baby Boomer Bachelorette' is not an instruction manual, but a personal, moving and humorous guide for the baby boomer journeying into the exciting realm of over-forty dating.
'Love, like youth, is wasted on the young,' first time author, Stagner, quotes. Her short story, 'First Impressions,' about her over-forty dating experiences won the Katherine Anne Porter Literary Festival Humor Award. From that story, her fascination with 'The Bachelor' and 'The Bachelorette' series, and her experiences with Internet dating, sprang the idea for 'Baby Boomer Bachelorette.' She performed extensive research, conducted interviews with her peers, and drew from personal experience to create a book designed to bring new hope to single baby boomers all over the world.

"What You Learn. That it's never too late to have a happy dating (or sex) life - but this guide addresses much more, urging those in the post-40 set to alter their perspectives on getting older and embrace the process with humor and heart.

Rating: - Loved this book!
I was very impressed with this author's straight-forward and sincere, warm and funny tone. This is one of the best books I've read for those of us who've found ourselves in the "over the (fill in the blank)" category of dating singles. Stagner has some of the best advice I've read on the subject. She is brave enough to go against conventional wisdom with tips like not always telling the truth (about age, for example) and why we don't really need self-esteem to succeed in the dating scene.
