Tara has previously dated men younger than her sons, who are 30 and 24, and has a lot of experience under her belt. She doesn’t care what trolls think about her dating life.

She recently took to TikTok to explain why she would never date a certain kind of guy and why others should avoid it too.

“Whatever you do, don’t date the beautiful man,” she said in the viral clip on social media.

According to Tara, there is simply “too much competition” for it to be worth it.

Instead, she urged viewers to settle for a “decent looking man” who has a “good heart.”

“I’m telling you, you’ll save yourself so many headaches,” she added.

In the video, Tara went on to say that it’s much better to be the “big fish in the small pond” when it comes to dating.

Not only that, but choosing a man based on looks alone doesn’t always pay off, because looks fade, Tara explained.

Previously, the grandmother also urged singles to choose a different type of man that is often overlooked.

“Don’t overlook the short kings,” she said in a recent TikTok video.

“They’re funny, they’re smart and they’re so incredibly sweet.”

Tara knows a thing or two about how wonderful little men can be, as her own father was considerably smaller than her mother.

“The best thing she ever did was marry that man,” she added.

After sharing her dating tips on social media, others agreed with her points, with one person commenting on the clip: “Finally a woman here who gets it!”

A second agreed: ‘Yes, it seems like you are choosing someone Nice ladies instead.”

“Great advice, this is why I’m still single,” wrote another.

Although Tara, who is in her 50s, hasn’t said that if she’s dated short men, she’s certainly no stranger to breaking relationship norms.

In the past, she has dated men younger than her sons, who are 30 and 24, and has even had men begging to date her whenever she posts content on social media.

She also revealed that she hates it when younger men want her to be their ‘sugar cougar’ and shower them with gifts, she revealed.

Because of this, the grandmother confessed that she usually keeps her love for younger men “on the back burner,” even having to make sure she isn’t friends with her romantic partners’ parents.

She explained that she is not looking for a husband and just wants to have fun with her young lovers.

This came after someone commented on an earlier video, writing: “For the young boys, just run away. These women are damaged goods.”

But the grandmother had no time for haters and explained that she wasn’t looking for love.

In fact, it is the men who continue to pursue her.

“Strangely enough, I can’t get rid of them. Once I go out with them, they don’t go away,” she said.

Tara explained that she knows right away if she clicks with someone, but they often get the wrong impression and she eventually has to break things off with them.

She confessed that she doesn’t want to waste her time with someone she isn’t compatible with, unlike the younger men she dates.

The blonde beauty is so popular online that she was even approached by a casting agency to appear in a reality show about cougar moms.

Although she has had many opportunities, it has not always been sunshine and rainbows for her.

Since becoming popular online, Tara has received inappropriate messages.

Some of the worst include unsolicited nude photos, or men saying they know where she lives and would like to attack her.
