he is a sailor, like myself, he knows the same people that i do in sailing. He is divorced and had been brought up by a controlling narcissistic mother. He learned all this in therapy. . . we laugh about people who have sucessful ways to avoid taking responsibility for their actions. . .

anyway, he told me that tow-three years ago, he met two women at one of the local neighborhood parties that had divorced because they were bored and unhappy, and assigned the blame to their mates. . .so they dumped their mates, and 14 years later, they were still looking for mr right. . . not having much luck . .

just to let people here know that a second marriage may take time, and mr/s right may never come along. . .because the future is uncertain.

His neighbor down the street is a multimillion aire woman, and she is mid 50s and still actively looking for a mate. . .

just to let some people know, that times are tougher as you get older, trying to find the next partner.

How does that song go? "I thought I was the bad-news king, but just handed my negativity crown to him...", LMAO...

Wiftty, the future is uncertain. It could be absolutely fabulous!!!!! Or it could be dismal. Most likely, mine will be an amazing combination of both.

Life is like sailing... Only rarely are you running, mostly you're reaching or beating, and sailing wouldn't be half so much fun if it weren't for the mix.

The future's so bright we oughta wear shades, to paraphrase.

PS: Get this tidbit, gentlemen. EASILY OFFENDED--READ NO FURTHER!!!

Do you know men can achieve orgasm even without an erection or ejaculation?

I find that wonderfully reassuring and I'm not even male.

Cheer up Wifty! There's no need to be a prophet of doom. The odds are actually in your favor!

For the sake of simplicity, let’s think of girls as “us’s” and boys as “you’s.” Initially, there’s more baby “you’s” born than baby “us’s.” Throughout childhood and early adulthood this pattern persists - there are still more “you’s” than “us’s” so actually, the competition is tougher when a “you” is younger to find an “us.” Somewhere around the age of 40, the tide shifts and, suddenly, for the first time, there are more “us’s” than “you’s” - presumably because the some of the “you’s” kill themselves off prematurely while engaging in high risk activities like motorcycling, rock climbing, sky diving, race car driving, and simple home repairs. In general, the you's tend to die off before the us's. Gradually but steadily, the “us’s” continue to outnumber the “you’s” until, if you are fortunate enough to live to 85, the “us’s” outnumber the “you’s” by almost 2 to 1!!!!!!!! Are you with me so far?

Then, if the “you’s” are really intent on increasing their odds, they would relocate to a target rich environment. For example, if you were an “us” and you wanted to meet a "you", you’d want to locate near a college campus with a renowned engineering department (think MIT or something) where the “you’s” may outnumber the “us’s” by 4 to 1 or more. Or, you’d move to Alaska, Wyoming, Colorado, or North Dakota – states where traditionally, the “you’s” outnumber the “us’s.”

Of course, if all of this sounds too manipulative and scheming to you like it does to me, you could just leave it up to fate - Go ahead and live your life abundantly as a single person now and remain open to all possibilities without closing any doors. If all else fails, you'll have plenty of dating oppportunities in the nursing home.

(Hope you don't mind a little tongue in cheek...)

Too funny... I never knew that simple home repairs are on par with the others! I guess some people don't know not to use their tongues to check if 240V wires are live ...

As they say, "if at first you don't succeed, then skydiving is not for you"...

Yep...finding someone when you are older is more difficult. One you are wiser and more picky. You don't have to wonder what marriage will be like.

Just now you have to worry about your assets, your children, your family and of course if you are a christian...is he with God. Blessings.

Do you know you can make a ham and cheese sandwich without ham or cheese?
