Women in their thirties who appear to "have it all" compared with previous generations are in fact exhausted and unhappy, a survey has claimed.
The demands of being a homemaker, mother and holding down a job is leaving them "physically and emotionally" wrecked.
Lack of sleep and eating "on the hoof" rather than sitting down to regular family meals add to the problems of trying to do too much.
Nearly half of female thirtysomethings - typified by Renee Zellweger in Bridget Jones's Diary - regularly call in sick at work because they are under so much stress, the study found.
The Female Health Survey revealed that women find the 30s by far the toughest decade.
Nearly nine out of 10 said they frequently feel tired, with 59% saying they feel tired all the time, and only a quarter get enough sleep.
Eight out of 10 of women said they do not have enough time to eat properly, while 31% admitted that they snack all the time.
The result is that women in their thirties and forties regularly suffer from headaches, chest infections, heart palpitations or eczema.
Marina Crook, the editor of Top Sante magazine, which commissioned the survey, was unsurprised by the results.
"Tiredness and stress are the ailments of our age and combined with a poor diet they cause low immunity and ill-health," she said.
And she warns that the problems continue into later life, with working lives lasting longer than ever before.
"Our thirties and forties are so hectic, that by the time we reach our fifties, sixties and seventies - the time we should be more freed up to enjoy life - our health has already been seriously affected."

Dating and Relationship Tips For Men
A woman enjoys her man’s masculinity – his inner strength.
To feel this strength a woman tests her man whether you have just begun dating or have been in a relationship for a while. Some of it is conscious, some unconscious, but all of it is to see if she can move you from your center and make you feel frustrated. She does this so she can feel how confident and strong you are. If you maintain your sense of humor and your affection then you have shown that your moods can not be manipulated by her behavior. A feminine woman loves feeling this sort of strength in her man.
Many men don’t have a clue that women naturally test them. So they assume that the woman testing them is nuts or just plain not interested. That couldn’t be further from the truth. The very fact that she’s testing you, by trying to bother you, shows she cares!
The next thing to be aware of concerning the woman you’re dating, is her moods. A woman’s main priority is the flow of love in a relationship. When she doesn’t feel love her moods seem to change quickly. While she is angry or irritated the words she uses is either designed to hurt or take control. As long as there is no love flowing. There is not point in paying attention to her words. The words are important only as foar as they reflect her mood.
Your first task whether you are dating or in a relationship is to break her negative mood with love or humor. When her laughs or smiles and the love and affection is present in her mood only then do her words have direct meaning.
Most men try to make peace with the woman they are dating by trying to solve the problems represented by her words this will be ineffective as her words are essentially designed to express her mood. More often than not her words will have nothing to do with the actual problem.
All you need to do to dissolve her mood is to make her laugh.
If you have just began dating than you use verbal humor or you can make a fool of yourself. If the intimacy is deeper (than it generally is at the beginning of dating) then you can grab her and blow on her neck making funny sounds, or dance with her looking deep into her eyes, or even strip down naked and start dancing! As long as you can break her mood with laughter and affection she will balance herself. THEN you can talk to her and her words will be true and you can take these words seriously.
In other words, be sure that love is flowing between you two before you take her words seriously.

Privacy in online dating
Since dating sites utilize technology that allows impersonal communication, people who engage in online dating could enjoy their privacy.
Many dating sites are certified and claim that they can easily safeguard the member's information against harmful elements, from viruses to prohibited users. Members can be rest assured that confidential data about themselves like their real identity, contact details, and present whereabouts cannot be instantly viewed by other people.
Likewise, this privacy feature also benefits the part of the person looking for a date in that his or her identity is also kept private or anonymous, as he or she browses through the profiles of chosen date candidates. To initiate a conversation with a date prospect, the person simply has to gain access by becoming a member and formally invite the prospect to a correspondence. Once the communication begins and endures, it is up to either or both persons to discern whether or not to unveil their true personalities. But showing real identities is not normally a prerequisite of dating sites and that feature makes it the biggest advantage of these sites.
Since the internet has a wide reach, spanning regions across the planet, the possibility of finding a match through dating sites is huge. The wide coverage of these sites, considering that they are not virtually selective of their members, offers numerous options for the regular female to look for her date, for example. Options are better than none, and in a way, this could be both an advantage and a disadvantage for some sides.
For people who are actively seeking for their date and browsing through the profiles in dating sites, having options means that there are more prospects out there to fall back on, just in case the primary choice does not work out. Of course, the selection process could be more lengthy and tedious, but in the end, surely, active date seekers are taking this more as an advantage than as a disadvantage.
As for people who are looking for dates yet would rather be content having their profiles posted online in dating sites, more options mean more competition. As such, they would need to enhance their profiles by posting more interesting and perhaps, sexy photos or use deliberately captivating (or exaggerated) content to make their profiles more appealing.
Speaking of content, dating sites also allow the application of various technological resources people now have within their reach. With these, members can opt to have their pictures and photos displayed in the site. They can also use a web camera or webcam to produce real-time appearances and moving introductions to other people visiting the site. For men and women who value creativity and innovation, the utilization of visual effects, particularly text enhancement and graphic design tools, are helpful in bringing out their true nature and hopefully, would add their attractiveness to their prospects. In more ways than one, these technologies encourage a sincere environment where members are free to tell others information about himself or herself and are honest enough to communicate with one another until they are ready to date.
Although the notion that dating sites are expensive is arguable to some, they definitely provide a more immediate and convenient venue for meeting date prospects compared to physical locations. Online dating enables the date searcher to hook up with as many people as he or she wants at the same time for just a certain amount, if applicable and depending on the conditions of the site.
This function serves as an aid, not just in initiating a conversation with the desired person, but also in developing an actual relationship with that individual. People who are shy in person might in fact be considered good talkers and listeners, if not already experts in breaking the ice, in the cyberspace realm. This may be attributed to their practice of communicating with a multitude of people in an instant or in the shortest time possible, hence their conversational skills are being continuously developed as they hunt for their dates.
Since the internet is available all the time, people who get involved in online dating can contact their prospects 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Thus, the talking and the sharing of ideas and interests can be conducted even in the wee hours of the morning. Although the internet is an immediate medium for communication, people are not pressured into dealing with their date prospects because there is no given time frame for meeting and getting together. They can easily send or receive emails and instant message each other any time of the day. In short, access and all-time connectivity is never a question when it comes to online dating.
As mentioned previously, dating sites basically know no limits when it comes to the personalities, gender, and culture of people who join them. These sites are open to anyone who is willing to experience a unique kind of dating and interaction. Some dating sites have restrictions when it comes to age, but other than that, these sites make its members conscious of the differences as well as similarities of one another. In a way, dating sites go beyond taboos because they enable certain demographies to stretch their abilities and show what they might otherwise deny in person.
For example, some women may find dating sites to be liberating and empowering because through these sites, they are able to muster enough courage to ask men out for dates, whereas in real life, they just sit and wait for their Prince Charming to gallop by and take them away. Like in the case of men, dating sites also lessen the humiliating experience for women when their partners say “no” to them. Also, some women who may not be confident enough to merely meet new friends or people out of their circles may find dating sites also rewarding because the reach of these sites go beyond racial and cultural borders. Women also need not worry about whatever inhibitions they may have in person because the people they meet would not primarily take into account what they look like, which is one of the things their male prospects normally put a bearing on.
