The truth about marrying a younger man.
The older woman and younger man relationship is no longer a fad, it's a phenomenon.
Canadian beauty Claudia Opdenkelder, CEO of wildly popular dating site CougarLife.com, was a 39-year-old confirmed bachelorette when she met the love of her life, a man 13 years her junior. A year later, they are engaged. "I have never been happier," she says.
We chatted with Claudia about the benefits of a relationship with a younger man.
Are younger men different to older men?
Yes they are. We have to thank their mothers — empowered women who have a voice in the family. Some were out there working or bringing up kids on their own. These guys have grown up seeing strong women.
What do you think the appeal of the older woman is for the younger man?
A lot of guys don't date younger girls anymore because the girls are wondering how much money the guys make or what kind of car they drive. We're not built that way — we've already established ourselves and we don't need to worry about them being able to support us. We can both just enjoy the ride and see where it goes.
What are the advantages for the ladies?
They have no baggage — you don't need to hear about their troubled pasts. They have zero ego — you're not dealing with someone who has a tough time with you making more money than them. They're so confident — they love that you're in your sexual prime and what you see is what you get. I think it just happens to work out because the chemistry is there and it's perfect timing. I've told my fiancé, Paul, "If I had met you any sooner, I wouldn't have been ready for you yet."
Some women reject younger men, assuming they won't want children soon enough.
The issue of children is something that needs to be discussed no matter what age — or religion or culture — you are. Something like that is very individual.
When I met my fiancé he was 26, and he was already ready for everything. I told him where I stood and he said, "If you don't want kids or marriage I am still going to be with you. It's not worth losing the love of my life over."
So we moved in together and as time went on we started to discuss marriage, and I thought, "Well, Paul is the best thing that's ever happened to me, what's marriage?" So now I'm all about it … I'm planning the wedding! The topic of kids came back up and I've told him I'll think about it.
What about the fear of being left when you start to age?
Well you know what? Men aren't looking so cute when they get older either — they're balding and they have man boobs and hair coming out of places it shouldn't! My fiancé and I joke about it all the time. I tell him, "You need to be worried that I'm not going to trade you in for someone younger."
As long as you're a strong, confident woman and you have a real chemistry and a real relationship, getting older is not something that's going to be the breaking point. It's never been about the younger woman, they know what they are getting into, so why would they trade you in?
With any relationship you don't know what you're going to get. You hope that in the end you're happy and not jilted, and I think you get that at any age.
So do you believe in true love?
Yes, I believe in true love, but I also believe that you need to go through a lot of fun, sexy relationships before you find the one. As you get into the "dirty thirties" you're finally comfortable with your body, and you're able to feel sexy and not feel like you have to make excuses. You embrace yourself.
Paul is one in a million. He's very mature and worldly and cultured and just all around excellent person. It had to take someone like him to get me to this place.

" I was actually in a Bible based play once and played the role of 'Annoyed about having to do this.' My scene involved offering a potplant, as nobody knew what Myrrh was, to a plastic baby Jesus then standing between 'I forgot my costume so am wearing the teachers poncho' and 'I don't feel very well'. Highlights of the play included a nervous donkey with diarrhoea causing 'I don't feel very well' to vomit onto the back of Mary's head, and the lighting system, designed to provide a halo effect around the manger, overheating and setting it alight. The teacher, later criticised for dousing an electrical fire with a bucket of water and endangering the lives of children, left the building in tears and the audience in silence. We only saw her again briefly when she came to the school to collect her poncho."

Music as social inclusion for kids
Roger Waters, Pavillhão Atlântico (Lisbon)
The Wall

Roger Waters began his European tournée "The Wall" on March 21 (International Day of Poetry), with a fantastic concert, in Lisbon. You can admire some photos on Blitz.
Rolling Stones, U2 are fantastic in their show but only Pink Floyd and Roger Waters are able to mix images, scenarios, lights, music and technology with such harmony, even such poetry!
Roger Waters & Coro Juvenil Cova da Moura
The Wall, Lisbon
And Roger Waters did more! Much more! He asked for the presence of a project of social inclusion for kids to be with on stage.
Sixteen ethnic kids from "Associação Moinho da Juventude da Cova da Moura" were on stage in a special participation with Roger Waters and his fourteen musicians.

Whassysa, social assistant, 27 years old, who motivated those kids to participate in such an important concert, told media that the choral group has only a month and kids and teenagers (8-16 years old) were very excited about the participation in the concert.
The Wall - Lisbon (Portugal)
Kids (boys and girls) were so motivated - said Whassysa - that they were not missing a single day in the rehearsal, during two weeks.
They did not know the lyrics, even less English language. And they learned the lyrics in English.
The video below is in Portuguese language, but you have the gesture language to follow it...
Kids engaged very seriously in the project, they made some research about Roger Waters and Pink Floyd. It was the first time that they heard about The Wall, Roger Waters or Pink Floyd.
And March 21-22, 2011 when the classical theme ‘Another Brick in the Wall - Part 1’ began, kids appeared on stage singing. Watch the video below.

What an audacious project to change the future of Cova da Moura young people Mr. Roger Waters welcomed on the stage!
It was very kind of him to invite a choral group of vulnerable young kids to participate in the concert.
Education:
We all know the importance of music as social inclusion for kids. There are fantastic projects all over the world! And Cova da Moura project is one of them!
It has the potencial to achieve social transformation of those kids.
The success of this participation and the work of the cultural assistant aims the long-term – including hopes that children will be driven towards higher educational achievement and, ultimately, out of poverty – are impossible to evaluate at the moment, but it had an overwhelmingly positive effect on the children involved.
The holistic immersive approach of music (rock, pop, classical) and the engagement of important and experencied musicians is central to achieving significant transformation, particularly to the lives of the most vulnerable children.
