I would like to know how I can capture the interest of a man. I'm divorced, a little overweight and my self-esteem is not as good as it could be. I'm so horny I can hardly stand it, but I don't want to come across to a guy as some loose whore-type. I also want the real thing since I've already worn out my vibrator. How can I get a man to like me or be interested in me?

First, it's vital to improve your self-image and getting into shape is the fastest way. Don't just do it to get a man, do it because it'll make you feel better, live longer and look better. Once you start feeling better in your shell, men will take notice because they can smell confidence, which is the best aphrodisiac on earth.
There are loads of ways to meet men; you just have to be in the right place for them to find you. First, think of what kind of man you want. If you don't mind a man who drinks or smokes, you can go to any bar and get laid. If you want a more stable guy, then learn to golf or take a karate class-both are usually predominantly male.
Take your pick: short skirt with no cleavage or jeans with a sexy top that shows some boob, but never do both together. It just screams, "EASY MEAT!"-in other words "desperate," which is a turn-off.
Anyone who tries too hard is a turn-off, in my opinion. I usually don't give out my secret scent, but you sound in dire need, so go splurge on Hypnotic Poison by Christian Dior. It brings most men to their knees. But go easy on the makeup-that also scares men. Oh, and I've met wonderful guys at karaoke bars; the men have talent and are outgoing, not just into beer and flirting.
You could be going from the frying pan into the fire. You don't know her that well, and I can tell you, most women give it their all in the beginning to lure the man into a relationship/marriage. (I said MOST, not all!) If you left your wife and two kids for her, what happens when she loses her sex drive? I would think long and hard about that if I were you. As they say, "The grass is always greener"-an old standby, but one that still holds strong. I understand having an affair, but not one that could prevent you and your children from seeing each other regularly. Women come and go; kids are forever.
The one who's persistent enough to win you over will hopefully show you that true love does exist.
Also keep in mind, dating like you do may appear to be the safe option, but it's preventing you from experiencing genuine intimacy, the stuff all the great pop songs are about. No one can avoid heartbreak. In fact, it builds character and makes you appreciate love that much more.
