Women Over 40 Reveal Their Unique Dating Standards
After dealing with relationships for so long, I'm sure there comes a point in life when you know exactly what you're looking for in a partner — no matter how unconventional those things may be. So when Reddit user u/JacqueGonzales asked the question, "What's a really weird, UNCONVENTIONAL thing that you absolutely NEED in a partner?" in r/AskWomenOver40, I excitedly knew the women would NOT hold back. Here's what they had to say: "Cannot be a spitter. If you spit, I'm out" "Angry eyebrows. Like, you need to look like you would throw me around. Respectfully." "No beards. In my opinion only, not trying to convince anyone else! Men with beards enjoy things I don't." "I wanted someone that wasn't picky about food." "Has the skills necessary to do well in a zombie apocalypse." "Must be willing to purchase feminine hygiene products without complaint." "If they don't learn my coffee order within a few dates, they don't care about learning about me." "I must have my own room/rooms. My husband and I each have our own bedroom/bathroom/office. If he dies, I am absolutely not changing my ways. I need my space." "Must sneeze discreetly. Not keeping the sneeze in, make a scene every time. Also, they have to cover their mouth and nose properly. Always." "Sending memes back and forth is my love language. A guy who doesn't reciprocate or, worse, sends memes that aren't funny would be a deal-breaker." "Must be handy. I know my way around a toolbox and he should too." "Must love all things Halloween as much as I do, which is a LOT." "To be allowed to have space to be my feral and unhinged pathetic self at times. I need to unmask and just allow my feels and my bleh moments to just have no reasons other than simply to just be. To be able to express unhinged and sometimes really dumb thoughts and ideas, and not have these parts of myself held against me." "Can't be a person who gets that thick buildup of saliva in the corners of their mouth. Makes me instantly gag on sight." "Open to kinky, fulfilling sex. Life is too short for bad sex." "He needs to have the emotional support needs of a cactus because I am not nurturing." And finally, here's one that's straight to the point: "I can't do 'half-assed' anything. He has to be capable of following through and doing a good job. I am talking about everything — job, chores, sex, conversations — whatever it is, for F's sake, participate fully and put in the full effort." Are you a woman over 40 (or any age) who wants to share the unconventional things you look for in a partner? Let me know in the comments!

13 Tough Things People Often Romanticize
While a certain thing might look glamorous from the outside, it can be a lot of work to do when you're actually in the middle of it. So when we asked the BuzzFeed Community: "What's something people only romanticize because they've never actually done it?" so many people shared their thoughts below. "Motherhood! It is a gift I wouldn't trade for the world, but holy shit, no one tells you how all-consuming it is. The anxiety, guilt, exhaustion, and feeling like you lost yourself. I felt bitter for some time that no one told me the ugly parts until I was already in it." —Anonymous, 30, Atlanta "Farming. Both Boomers (in the '70s) and Millennials (more recently) seem to have a group of folks who romanticized farming and 'getting back to nature.' Reality is that farming is often back-breaking work from before dawn (not at dawn or after dawn) until dark. The equipment is very expensive, requiring you to buy on credit or lease it, creating never-ending debt, but if you don't do it, you will fall behind and not sell enough. The market for your products can tank, leaving you in even more debt, or a harvest can fail. You have to hire help or have a large enough family who can pitch in. There are a number of zoning rules and health codes that can be hard to meet on an older farm, but newer farms cost too much. No sick days allowed (livestock require care every single day), and vacations are rare (if you can afford them). It is a hard and expensive life that only a few can truly handle." "Living in a small or smaller town. I can say from personal experience that while the slower pace is nice in comparison to bigger cities, there's not a lot of privacy either. Not to mention driving an hour out of town to get any real errands or shopping done." —Anonymous "The most stressed out I ever was at my grocery store job was when I was in management. To be fair, part of that time was during the start of the pandemic, which sucked for most people. But asking for a demotion was the best thing I did for my mental health." "Marriage. There is so much hype around marriage, especially for women, beginning when we're little girls. Finding Mr. Right, anticipating the proposal, the engagement, the shower, the parties and festivities leading up to the actual wedding day. Then reality sinks in: finances, kids, in-laws, balancing life and careers… the list goes on. I believe marriage is portrayed in a much more romanticized way than it actually is in reality. And now, with everyone living their lives on social media, the cycle continues. They don't show the hard work, compromise, and maintenance involved, and often, it isn't pretty." —Anonymous, 54, Los Angeles "Buying land and putting your own house on it. The whole process to build the house was so awful that I almost didn't want the place by the time it was done." "Working in a chocolate shop! It's a nightmare and not at all romantic — and Valentine's Day is the worst! Non-stop chaos from open to close and largely because of chocolate-covered strawberries! The shop gets filthy. There are always a few employees hogging the register, and no one else gets a chance. Employees are judged by their sales, and if they don't sell enough, they could lose their jobs. Management doesn't do a thing about the register hogs. Yeah, very romantic." —Anonymous "Moving to Japan. It is not all anime, technology, and 7-Eleven. It is working long hours for low pay and is quite isolating. I managed to get settled, but I know many who fall into depression or leave the country quite quickly. Amazing place for a holiday, but don't expect the same experience if you choose to live here." "Owning a house. It sounds awesome; it's yours. Until you realize all the costs are also yours, and it's actually not yours but the bank's, and you have to pay and arrange everything. New heater, your problem. Leaking roof, you pay. And if you don't pay for repairs, the bank can take the house from you for neglect because it's still theirs." —dietarycharger "Yes, business travel. It seems cool and it is for a bit, but when you do it once a month or more, it's absolutely exhausting, and dealing with what feels like never-ending jet lag sucks." "Being a chef. Romantics would have you believe it's a world of cooking, great food, and top restaurants. Uh no. It's hot, demanding, and exhausting work under people who sometimes have no business being in charge of toilet paper, let alone a restaurant. It's hours and hours on your feet, working all hours, dealing with the public, and a LOT of stress." —Anonymous, 53, Virginia "As someone who's been diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder and severe anxiety, I was to open-hand smack people when they romanticize depression or claim to be depressed when they're just bummed out. Depression is no joke; not feeling excited, inspired, or happy about anything truly sucks. Flat affect sucks." "Meeting your idol. Thinking they would be just like they are on film and talk shows. Turns out, your idols aren't anything like what you thought they were, and that's hard to take when you used to have such affection for them." —babycapricorn129 What's a thing people only romanticize because they've never actually done it?

8 Things to Declutter Before September Hits
As summer sadly draws to a close, it's time to gear up for fall. Fortunately, by focusing on a few key things to declutter before September starts, according to Horderly professional organizer Jamie Hord, you'll be ready to go once the first leaves start to fall—without taking too much time away from enjoying those precious summer days. 1. Summer Clothes Before you break out your sweaters and cozy-season clothes, take stock of what you wore and what you didn't amongst your summer clothes, while it's still fresh in your mind. Give away anything that hasn't seen the light of day this summer. And anything that isn't worth saving—like a pilled and overstretched swimsuit—should be recycled or tossed. And hey, while you're at it, take a quick sort through your fall clothes as you bring them out of storage to see if there's anything that doesn't fit, doesn't suit you, or otherwise shouldn't make it back into your closet. 2. School Supplies If you have kids, August is the time to sort through your school supplies and see what needs refreshing, what isn't being used (that you might be able to donate to a school supply drive), and what's ready to go. Compare it to your child's school supply list, and you'll be able to minimize the back-to-school purchases by 'shopping' from your own house first. 3. Lunch Containers After a little summer vacation, it's time for back to school (and back to work). Go through your lunch container stash and get rid of anything that doesn't have a matching lid, is cracked, or is otherwise unusable. (While you're organizing, go ahead and make sure that your lunchboxes have been dusted off and freshly cleaned.) 4. Water Bottles Odds are, you probably have a drawer or cabinet filled with water bottles—even if you only stick to a few. Go through your water bottle stash and remove anything that's missing a cap, leaks, or isn't one you reach for regularly. Also, consider ditching any plastic water bottles that are not labeled BPA-free to minimize the risk of chemicals leaching into your water. 5. Home Workspaces Make the shift back to school (or your WFH days) easier to bear by sifting through any paperwork and clutter that's accumulated, so you have a perfectly peaceful spot to get the work (or the homework) done. 6. Halloween Stuff The spooky season is right around the corner—and Hord says you should get ready, stat. 'This is a great time to go through and get rid of any Halloween decor or Halloween costumes that no longer serve your family or that you no longer love. Get rid of any old or damaged items and be realistic about what you'll wear or put up this year.' 7. Your Makeup Bag or Drawers Make a seasonal sort through your makeup stash to get rid of expired beauty products, anything that is crumbling or damaged, and of course, anything you don't use. That'll make more room for new colors you want to try as the seasons change. 8. Summer Fun Gear Take stock of all your summer gear—from pool floats to outdoor games to beach chairs. Toss anything that's damaged beyond repair, and give away things you didn't use or won't use after this year.
