I am working with a journalist who writes for publications like Redbook and Good Housekeeping. She's working on an article for Match.com's online love and relationship magazine (Happenmag.com) about a new study that just came out which found that sex on a first date is twice as likely for singles over 50 than for their under-40 counterparts. Some other interesting points to the study were that 76 percent wanted to be wooed the old fashioned way and expected the guy to pick up the check on the date. Also that 53 percent of people over 50 rated lust and passion more highly than marriage. And that Boomers are three times more likely then twenty-somethings to hit on a complete stranger.

Do you agree or disagree?

Here are her questions. Mind sharing your feedback?

1) Why do you think Boomers are so willing to have sex on the first date? Is it because they are past the point of playing games, know what they want quicker than they did when they were younger, or just take a more casual approach to sex?

2) Why do you think 53 percent rated lust and passion so much higher than marriage? Is it because most single Boomers have been married before and have somewhat of a "been there, done that" attitude toward marriage and dont NEED to be legally bound to someone to make a relationship work?

3) Given that 76 percent of the women polled want to be wooed by their date and expected him to pick up the check, does this idea of being old fashioned conflict with their modern attitude toward casual sex?

4) What advice would you give to Boomers who are out there dating and dealing with the expectations or desire to have sex so quickly? Any words of caution?

5) And finally, considering that Boomers are three times more likely than 20-somethings to hit on a complete stranger, does this mean that you get more confident as you age? If so, why?
Thanks ladies.
