Listen To Your Body

Dear Suze Q. I’ve always been a jock, and now in my 60s, all those old injuries torture me. My coaches’ words of “tough it out,” “walk it off,” echo in my head, but those remedies don’t work, so I’m quietly miserable and try to hide it. I’m dating again and don’t want to look needy. 

Dear Jock, I understand you’re afraid to lose face by looking needy, but you’ll look and be strong if you get the help you need. Listen to your body, not outdated coaching hype. Healthy women want healthy and reasonable men, not old scrappers. -SQ
