dear single women over 25...

How funny Orenda-

Most of the men I had contact with were in the process of growing old without growing up.

Oh well.

And Jones- Alas! I don't know anyone Dayton to set you up with! I think that's for the best. On my best day, I'm a flake and so are many of my friends. (We're very nice people though- honest!)

I am a veggie- so we've got a date for tofu if I ever drop in!

But she looked bang on Jaime Pressly. If she wasn't a state away I'd be there ordering the daily special asking her what time she gets off.

Apologies to Bran and Lulu...

"Vegetarian" = Indian name for "bad hunter".

Jones, she wanted a gift before the first date? Isn't that like paying for her to date you? Which would make her a...

Gem, you said it, not me. But you're absolutely right.

And you'd be amazed (or maybe you wouldn't) at the number of men and women who are perfectly comfortable founding a relationship on the exchange of sex and material goods. Many even consider it a token of empowerment, the healthy exercise of good old American pragmatism. I'm not one to judge, but for my part, I can't imagine a less satisfying type of existence. And I couldn't afford it anyway.

Lulu, most of the flakes I've known are very nice people. It's just been my experience that for my personality, repeated flaking is particularly maddening. I've known other guys like me who dated a flake and tried to put up with it, but not one of those relationships ended well. Tofu's still on the table though -- any time.

take care

No worries, Jace. I'm not a vegetarian anymore. [img]wink.gif[/img] Chicken had too strong of a calling..

*cluck*

I try not to be a flake, but sometimes reality can be so...distracting.

i would first like to say that there must be something wrong with the women in your area, jones, because personally -- and i have several female friends who will agree with me -- seeing a guy with a kid, or even knowing a guy has a kid, is highly attractive. especially with a kid as cute as 2 years old. (it's after age 5 that i want to send them to the pound.) and especially since women are supposed to be the more family-oriented gender. i mean, it's not like you can't have another kid. the woman will get her own offspring as well.

if that made sense.

secondly, i totally agree with the materialistic nature of a lot of people - especially women. i don't need material items to make me happy, and i'd hate to have someone buying me stuff all the time. i mean every now and then, like if you see something that you just *have* to get for the other person, sure. but i hate material things. unless i need them. constant gift-giving would really start to get to me after about 5 minutes. i don't need to be bought, thanks.

other than that, good luck, babe. personally i think dating is a load of cow patties, but we're not going to get into that. i do hope you find someone. a single mom might be the best way to go, though.

Hi jones. I agree with Jessykat- I'd find a single man with a kid quite attractive. Maybe it's the mother they are insecure about.
I also have trouble finding someone my age(35) with similar interests as I'm into rock music and not home maintenance.
And I seem to scare off the younger guys!
