re: it was sounding good until

I was a big standoff on C++, until I started using it more. Now I love the simplicity of cout/cin and so forth. Although, it is very nice, I find myself using my old standby getch() a lot. It's great for just pausing and waiting for a user to continue on with the program.

But,

cin >> age >> sex >> location;

is way cleaner than

scanf(%i%c%s",&age, &sex, &location);

Of course neither way is really the best since neither does type checking or any other sort of bad-data checking, but hey it's a simple example.
