   Mine definetly was.  I loved that woman dearly despite that.  :-)

   Me too.  Same with the reverse and both at the same time.  Everytime I   
   encounter that situation it reaffirms my faith in my singularity.

   Could be, but it often appears to me it is mostly from fear of loneliness, the   
   unknown, or just downright fear of the partner, although I haven't really run   
   across the latter other then to hear tales or TV etc.  People I fear I tend to   
   avoid in the first place so I have no idea about their relationships and am   
   not sure I want to either.

   Amen.  I'll go along with that.

   That isn't what they said on the news thingy I saw.  The ones that expressed   
   an opinion liked their men to be men and not have to mother them.  Something   
   like that.   
      
    SC> hehehehe Ok, 30ish is still young.   
      
   To me it is.   
      
    SC> They needed to talk more to the 40

    SC> 50 and up women.   
      
   I think they did in the study the news thingy was about but only interviewed   
   30-ish women to see what they thought about it.  For the mostpart those   
   particular women agreed that in the real world an older stable man was what   
   they really found attractive, all things considered.  No surprise here.

   That was definetly a big part of it but not the end all and be all.   
      
    SC> That could have definitely been what made the older man more    
    SC> attractive.   
      
   See above.

   How about a nice 'bad boy' man?  :-)   
      
    SC> Peer pressure, status, not much different really. It is just a shame

   Same with adults.

   I think where is a big part too.  Apparently in rural areas it is on the   
   increase or at least higher then urban areas per capita type deal.  That is   
   what I've heard anyhow.  I have no personal experience with the problem ...   
   thank goodness.

   Cool and wettish here.  Overall it isn't too bad and they are predicting a   
   mild winter for this area.  If true I am all for it.  Also they predict more   
   snow for the local ski slopes so that should make Danny Ceppa happy.  Right   
   Danny?   
      
   Life is good,
