--Why Women Over 30 Are Sexy--

As a 30-something woman, she worries that guys aren't into her type, but several male friends set her straight and reveal that women over thirty may be even more attractive than the 20-somethings she is intimidated by.

34-year-old Raoul Djukanovic* says: Why would I talk to someone over 30? Well, because I'm over 30. But I'd talk to anyone who talked to me with spirit, young or old. If someone's being open and sincere, that's attractive.

~

Johnny Gilbane, 36: I'm all about women over 30 — because they have realized, like I have, that relationships aren't perfect. I think a lot of younger women are constantly attempting to model their lives and relationships after some unattainable ideal. So I'll take a 35-year-old, Harper's-reading, well-dressing, book-toting, glasses-wearing woman any day of the week. And twice on Sunday. So long as she's retained the one trait that 26-year-old women have in spades: reckless abandon about being in love.

~

Christopher Gambrills, 26: I've been attracted to older women in the past when they made no apologies about their age. They didn't try to look or act any younger than they felt. There's something graceful about that — about being at ease with yourself and the world. And crow's-feet can be sexy. Looking like you've lived and know something about the world is sexy, at least to me.

~

Mike Parkwood, 34: Far more women in their 30s know what they're talking about when they say they're looking for serious relationships. Older women are less likely to have idiosyncratic rules about what men should and shouldn't do. They know that relationships involve compromises, silent and spoken negotiations, mutual respect, and equal power. Younger women don't understand that stuff, in general, as well as women in their later 20s and 30s do.

--Roh Funeral Shows South Korea Divisions--

SEOUL – Eulogists remembered South Korea's former president Roh Moo-hyun as a politician of humble beginnings who sought a compassionate society but killed himself in anguish over a bribery scandal that has laid bare the country's deep political divisions.

"We pray you will lead us to reconciliation and unity as we are divided and alienate each other," Han Myung-sook, one of Mr. Roh's prime ministers during his 2003-2008 tenure, said at a state funeral service on the grounds of a palace that was the seat of government for 500 years.

~

Ms. Han referred directly to an investigation of Mr. Roh by state prosecutors in her eulogy, saying he was unable to fulfill his dream of a quiet post-presidency in the town where he grew up. "Harsh times and rough seasons just would not even allow an opportunity to realize such modest dreams," she said.

~

Mr. Roh, 62 years old, died from an apparent suicide last Saturday by jumping from a cliff near his home in the town of Gimhae. About an hour earlier, he wrote a note on his personal computer that said he had caused too much pain to other people. "Don't be sorry, don't resent anyone," he wrote.
