    Love secrets from Casanova
    By Susan Swan

    Born in Venice in 1725, Giacomo Casanova was a soldier, adventurer, spy, novelist—and perhaps the most famous ladies’ man in history. Men often assume Casanova was so successful with women because he possessed some secret knowledge of the female body or was a master of 18th-century aphrodisiacs. Casanova did like to feed oysters to his companion with his lips, but his reputation as one of the world’s greatest lovers was built not on secret potions or bedroom tricks, but on the fact that he adored women and devoted himself to them, heart and soul. Here are some reasons women loved Casanova as ardently as he loved them:

    He thought every woman was special. No Bo Derek clones or one-to-ten rankings for Casanova. He loved one woman at a time, and although he lavished compliments on them, his praise was based on what made each woman unique. Nothing was too insignificant to mention; he may have admired the way she ate a peach. (When he met Henriette, his greatest love, she was disguised as a soldier; he told her he admired her "whimsical" uniform.) He also liked intelligence and believed that an ugly, witty woman seduced through the charms of her mind.

    How can you put this lesson into practice? Look for what makes a woman different from everyone else, and tell her how much you appreciate it—one unique comment can be a hundred times more appreciated than a generic "you’re so beautiful."

    He loved listening to women talk. Many women read books by or about men to find out what men think, but how many men read books to learn about women? No such fears troubled Casanova. Proud of his masculinity, he would be shocked by anyone who thought it was unmanly to listen to women talk. He once famously said, "I’ve never made love to a woman whose language I didn’t speak because I like to enjoy myself in all my senses at once." In his view, good conversation was the best foreplay—the first step in a seduction—and he liked both partners to take pleasure in it. So instead of taking the conversational lead on your next date, try engaging your date on a topic she’s really interested in talking about. You might be surprised by what she has to say.

    He treasured and respected women as friends. Being friends with women was just as important to Casanova as being lovers—he wasn’t out to degrade or debauch. He once remarked that women were like books: You need to read more than the title in order to enjoy them. Because of his deep respect for women, he would never "love ’em and leave ’em"—in fact, he maintained close friendships with many of his lovers all his life. It may sound obvious, but treating a potential date with the same attention and respect you’d give to any friend will go a long way toward winning her heart.

    He lived life to its fullest. Casanova felt that happiness was the world’s greatest aphrodisiac. He knew that pursuing pleasure and love wasn’t a distraction from personal fulfillment, but a worthy end in itself, and he would have laughed at our stressed-out, overachieving culture. To be loved by Casanova was to be well-fed and sensually satiated. Why not take a cue from him? Slow down and celebrate your life. A passion for living is always irresistible.

    "Whatever, don't assume all of our clocks are ticking. So what do you call a mid-life crisis?"
    Sometimes what appears to be a mid-life crisis is really just a guy deciding that he can finally afford that sports car he's wanted all his life. After all, certain things are fun no matter how old you are. When I see an older guy driving a new Corvette, I think "right on, I want to be like that guy when I'm his age". Especially if he's got some hot 25 year old girlfriend.

    Just kidding about the girlfriend.

    If he's traded in his wife for the girlfriend, that may not indicate a mid-life crisis, it probably just means he's a dirtbag.

    The only thing a non-conformist hates more than a conformist is another non-conformist who doesn't conform to the prevailing standard of non-conformity.

    heh... here's a funny lil story for all you middle aged guys thinkin dating a 25 yr old would be great...

    one of my friends, jen, was dating this dude about 15-20 yrs older than her... he used to go on and on about this situation... but knowin her, i knew it wasn't going to last. poor old dude said he was all in love and in the end, she dumped him for someone much closer to her own age.


    i guess those may/dec things can work, but i've never actually *seen* it.

    I think it works best if the woman has a mental problem that causes guys her own age to stay away from her.

    Example:
    In the short term, if she's really spoiled and bitchy, an older guy might tolerate that for the privilege of getting some of that action, where guys her own age will instinctively steer clear of her.

    It works the same way for men:
    Girls that are 20-25 don't know the difference between a well-adjusted normal guy and a loser who has a hard time relating to women in his age group. She's easily impressed, and flattered that a mature guy likes her, so she'll date the guy until she's around age 28. At this point she figures out that the guy isn't as impressive as she first thought, and that she could do a lot better. She will then jump ship.

    This leads to a true middle-age crisis: The guy realizes he probably isn't going to lure another young hottie, and if he does, he knows it'll probably end the same way. Yet he recoils at the idea of dating a mature, not-so-attractive, THINKING woman who will challenge him. He now faces a time of change; if he is optimistic, he buys some new clothes, maybe Hawaiian shirts, grows a mustache, and buys a sportbike. If he gives up, he grows a beard, gains weight, watches a lot of TV and thinks about buying a garage full of tools and building a chopper.

    Are those the only 2 options? No wonder guys are freaks if they think that is all they have to look forward to.

    What about the attractive, over 35 woman who doesnt' have her head up her butt, is succesful, spontaneous, doesn't have kids or divorced, and is witty, but yet will stand up for herself in a respectful way? You know, they are out there although I am starting to think they are rare Oh yea, and that don't talk about stupid things like diamonds.

    This is getting good.

    Going to get:



    I have a beard and sportbike? I'm a pound or two over ideal (200 vs. 180) and I'm divorced. Oh, and I bought a 210 Donek when I turned 39. Where do I fit in this scenario. Oh, and when am I going to get a critique of my match.com profile from Aisling, Skatha and Michelle (sorry Ais, but I respect Michelle's opinion more since she's in the age range of women I'd date). My match name is sinecure, just do a name search. There's even a picture of the 210 on there.

    Sorry, I am not interested in going to Match.com. We should do a dating game at the SES or something, that might be fun..... Wait, as long as I don't have to be included.

    Those are the best kind of women to have. They usually end up with first class guys, like me and Randy

    Yea, I think they are rare also. I thought I found one several years ago. She was wonderful, --- smart, witty, successful, tall, great looking, loved to golf and ski, great 14 yr old kid, superb companion and on and on. I started to notice how she treated service people like waiters or customer service personnel like crap. Then I started to notice how she treated her kid which was yelling and screaming (This was after about 6-8 months of knowing her). She still treated me great. Then after about 10 month -a year she treated me like everyone else. Like Sh*t. Wow what a difference. Then she started making her demands and yelling and screaming a flipping out to where I had to call 911 to get her out of my house. That night she wreaked her car cuz she left in such a piss** of mood. Blamed me for it of course. I did not give up quite yet - I know stupid me I picked her one night for dinner and what we both thought was going to be a great night. After dinner we were on our why to her house, both of us in a great mood , she told me to pull over so she could talk to me. I said "No, lets go to your house" which was only 2-3 mile away. She loses it .. starts to scream and throws anything she can get her hands on out the window. . She says Stop Stop Stop! I know I have a friggen crazy woman on my hands at 40-50 miles an hour. She opens the door and threatens to jump ( This is a true story with no embellishment), she drags her right foot on the ground while trying to stand up to jump . Finds she can't get out at 50 mph. I knew if I slowed down she could so I kept talking to her to calm her down. Finally she pulls her foot in cuz her shoe sole has been worn completely thru to her foot. Stupid lady!.. She closes the door, is quiet and I get her to her house, I say I forgot my phone in the car and jump in and leave. Never called her again. So.. with all that said .. ya just never know. I'm kinda gun shy now.

    Wow C5! That's an awesome psycho chick story! I thought dating a witch (a real witch) was good, but that beats my story. I'm sure it was crazy at the time, but it makes for a hilarious story now. At least she didn't turn into a stalker. Sounds like one of those deals where you back into their driveway so you can make a quicker getaway.

    This thread keeps getting juicier.

    Randy. That was only one small chapter in that relationship. I have more stories like that one that can make milk curdle. I can't believe I stayed around that woman -Psycho Bit** for as long as I did. Your right so many of many friends and I have laughs about it now. It is good fodder for when we are out for a glass of red.

    Well, and I thought the games we had this year were fun. If ever I needed more incentive to come, Michelle and Aisling on a game of SES Perfect Match.

    Wow "C" I had a similiar experience. I'm in the lot parking my vette and out of nowhere my gf jumps on the hood of my vette and tell me she wants to talk to me. (she wasn't with me when I was parking my car, I don't know where she came from) I call her bluff and start moving my car, she rolls over on her stomach on the hood of my car. I thought "crap," then I stopped, she slides off the hood skinning her knees. I get out of the car to see if she's seriously hurt, she gets up, started screaming "what an *******" I was for running her over with my car! At this time 4 women attacked me, backing me up to my car and starting puching, kicking and hitting me with whatever they had in their hands. I felt like I was being beaten by a bunch of thugs! Finally my gf screams at me "you wanna talk now!" I said yes, she tells the women that it was her fault. By this time the women are consoling my gf about 3 to 4 feet away from my car. I took this opportunity to make my get away. I had to move again, never saw her again. That was nothing compare to all the other crazy things she did. I too was stupid and stay in the relationship for about a year. I know why I did, the sex was great! Like you my friends and I laugh about it now.

    Well, judging by C5 and lonecarver, it is clear that none of us should own a Corvette. Clearly it attracts psycho women. (Or was that a Chevette, lonecarver?).

    Apparently a Corvette does attract women, but the wrong kind. I need to re-think this thing. Maybe a big-ole pickup truck is what I need. With a couch in the back.

    Where do you guys FIND these women? I know it's hard to see the real person until about 6 months, but those are some crazy stories. I also dated a psycho guy - won't get into it because it was truly scary and I still don't laugh about it. Is the moral of the story don't date someone with a Corvette????


    Once again, I say: What about the attractive, over 35 woman who doesn't have her head up her butt, is succesful, spontaneous, doesn't have kids or divorced, and is witty, but yet will stand up for herself in a respectful way? You know, they are out there although I am starting to think they are rare Oh yea, and that don't talk about stupid things like diamonds and is NOT a psycho.

    NO NO I said I DO NOT want to be included. I'm the organizer, and I'm good at keeping myself out of things like that....... So guys, bring some women folk to the SES that aren't taken, so that I can do my job!!

    I know someone exactly like that - except she doesn't turn 35 for 2 weeks, and she does have a kid - the same one I have


    She still has the diamond I bought her 10 years ago, but the last conversation we had about it was whether or not to sell it 'cause neither of us wear our wedding jewelry...

    There are not very many of these women, most of them are married. I would say that this kind of woman represents about 10% of the available dating pool. Wackos are much easier to find.
