Hello Everyone,
This is the very first post for the new Real Live People Party Social Networking Blog.
I'm starting this blog now because I'm amazed at the amount of controversy generated over our recent speed dating party for Women 35-45 and Men 25-35.
Sugar Mamas and Boy Toys, Cougars and Cubs...you get the drift. We were sold out for this event.
A few months ago someone ran an event for older, wealthy women and younger, hot guys with no money. To me, that concept felt like the women were "buying" the guys. I didn't like the message that event was sending. However it made me think about how many women are interested in younger guys. I like to help people meet each other and if there are older women who want to meet younger guys, then I'll organize it.

I was amazed at the number of emails and feedback I got about this event.
On the positive side I got some great comments from many male and female members who were really happy I was doing this. They appreciated that I was putting this together because no one else was doing events for older women and younger guys.
I was surprised about the negative feedback. Some people were angry that I was doing an event like this at all. Some suggested I had no morals for running such a disgusting event. I was shocked at the negative response and surprised why some people felt so threatened by the concept.
Older guys have been interested in younger girls for years. Why is it so offensive for older women to want to meet younger guys? I guess the nay-sayers are really just highlighting their own insecurity.
One ridiculous blogger who runs mediocre events in the city had her sensibilities offended by the words I used in my invitation. (See below in green.) To sensationalize her blog, she portrayed our event in a disgusting manner and went on a tirade about how desperate older women were, if they wanted to date younger guys. She decided women over 40 should just deal with the fact that they're getting old instead of trying to hang on to their youth through the younger guys.
Is she kidding?? Women Rock! We can do anything we want at any age.

I hear from many guys who only want to date younger women. No one judges them for that. They prefer younger women, and that's great.
However there are men who love the experience and comfort level of women who are older. These women don't have to play games and are really honest with who they are. The level of respect the younger guys have for older women is refreshing. Why wouldn't women want to date younger guys?

Thank you to the cougars and cubs who attended and who helped sell out our event. I was really happy watching how well everyone got on during the event and how many matches were made. We had an over 90% match rate at this event. Of the 26 members who attended, 23 of them had at least 1 match and some had as high as 7 matches. Pretty good for 1 night's dating.
Please send your comments about the event and your thoughts in general about older women dating younger guys. Let's get this discussion out in the open.

NOTE: I'd love to hear any suggestions for a more interesting name for this event instead of Cougars and Clubs or Sugar Mamas and Boy Toys. Any ideas welcome?
I can't wait to read your responses to our first blog.
Cheers, Ilana
It time for the ladies to enjoy guys who are young, vibrant, ready, willing and able. For the guys...it's a chance to live out a fantasy of the older woman who is more experienced and knows what she wants.

The original promo copy for the event, is below.
UrbanCougar.com calls New York the Cougar Capital where a sophisticated species of female seeks the pleasure of younger males and enjoys the freedom of the hunt."

Real Live People Party is hosting an "Evening of Eye Candy", for the woman who is confident, sexy, adventurous and lives life to the fullest.
Remember the original cougar Mrs Robinson from The Graduate? We've come a long way baby! Demi Moore, Madonna, Susan Sarandon, Kim Cattrall and who can forget Cher with her string of young, sexy boy toys.
As a side note, I am rather partial to younger guys, so I'm really going to enjoy hosting this event.
