Carmen Electra returned to her roots in a recent interview with Playboy. The 54-year-old model and actress shared her insights on dating later in life and offered advice for men trying to attract middle-aged women.

Electra emphasized the importance of communication. “We do appreciate texting or calling appropriately,” she said. To avoid missteps, she advised against calling a woman late at night to meet at a bar. According to Electra, timing is crucial.

Offering guidance to women dating post-divorce, Electra encouraged those in their forties to embrace their youth and enjoy life. “You’re still so young,” she said, “go have fun, keep having fun and live your life.”

Electra, drawing from her own experiences, offered tips for men seeking to woo women. “I prefer if the man makes the first move,” she stated, although she’s known to subtly show her interest. Electra believes genuine interest will lead to men approaching or sharing their contact information.

Reflecting on relationships, the Scary Movie alum advised choosing partners you love. “That’s definitely what’s gonna keep the spark alive,” she claimed. Electra values partners who have a vibrant spirit and are engaged in their craft.

Electra first gained attention from Playboy in 1996, leading to her role on Baywatch. The magazine’s influence on her career remains significant, with Electra acknowledging its iconic status and the women who preceded her, such as Marilyn Monroe.

Recently, Electra tapped into her Playboy roots at the 35th Anniversary of The Abbey Food & Bar. She donned a leopard-print bodysuit with matching accessories, showcasing her style and confidence.
