It seems like a fair amount of work, little reward, and lots of frustration. I feel the same way about bars. I cannot imagine a more awkward situation than going to a bar specifically to try and meet someone. So far it's been more productive to try and find people through mutually interesting activities, like running or triathlon club events. At least you have a reasonable starting point for conversation, like Body Glide or snot rockets! I think they should implement, a S or T before your age in body markings. Single or Taken, so that I can assess on the course Excellent idea, but may lead to more drafting penalties! I volunteer at SheRox in Philly every year. For some reason I always wind up doing body marking. It's entertaining to have to ask women their age and then write it on their calves. I've noticed that after a certain age the women that are out there rockin' it answer with pride. I understand the feeling entirely |

I can't wait to hear what my "league" is. I take it all with a grain of salt - and things roll of me like water off a ducks back. Start talking about my momma - and we might have a problem! League, simply put-you should look like you belong together. This is hard to explain in words without looking like a big jerk. You can't jump more then 2 points...ever. Unless you are rich in music or sports. there ya go I know this comment may get a lot blow back but a really rich smart man, stays away from the really, really hot smoking chicks cause they tend to be the MOST work and a high level of crazy! Or at least the second time around. Not out here. But a poor, semi funny, halfway attractive (in low light) guy stays away from them because he knows they are bat shart crazy! |

I'd agree with that, but phrase it differently. A mature man doesn't want an insecure demanding and vapid woman. It's way too much work, and the reality is a 10 and an 8 look exactly the same face down in a pillow. Just saying.
Edit - a mature man wants something more that a pretty face. Wealth does not equal maturity. Edited by tmwelshy 2012-04-17 12:10 PM |
