I mean, who cares what people think about it. No one wants to see it anyway. :D

That's a 1995 Ford F-350 4x4 crew cab. It probably gets 10 mpg...on the highway........with a tail wind.

1. Why can't you have both?

:shrug:

[Droopy]

2. I don't know. I've been looking for a girlfriend for a year. You tell me.

3. Here are my suggestions:

Continue to put yourself out there, don't give up, draw a sort of "safety boundary" around yourself & don't tell people you meet everything at once. I've been following your threads about your search & you are doing a lot of things the right way... but try these things & get back to me in a couple of months! :hug:

4. Certainly a different sort of relationship.

I vote no. There are women out there, you have to open your heart and find the right one. She is out there. I know it is rough, but worth it. She will come along when you aren’t looking and then there you will be with that behemoth, gas-guzzler. Don’t do it.

5. Yea, chicks DIG those.

Buy one of THESE instead:



They will be LINED UP outside
your door!

6. I have one of those

And I have a good job. I also care about my health and I've lost a lot of weight. I don't smoke, drink, or do drugs. I'm not mean. I'm not Playgirl material, but I'm not incredibly ugly. Yeah, I don't know.

12. You know, I can't for the life of me figure out what people are looking for

I had always thought that I'd be the type of woman to get married. In the early years of my dating life, I gave my heart pretty easily, and when I do that, I'm pretty giving. My parents' marriage has always been the example to follow... and they don't say "no" to each other.

But it always turned out that I'd fall for people who didn't give their hearts much at all, and they were always willing to take without a thought to putting in their share of work into the relationship.

I could spend my whole life saying "yes" to someone.... as long as I knew that's what I'll get back.

Maybe that's not out there anymore. :shrug:

I wish you luck. I also wish for you enough of a sense of self that you'd be ok if it never happened. Be ok w/ being alone. Surround youself w/ people who like you, and stay active in things you like doing. That's what a life is. Everything else is gravy.

8. Sounds like you're doing all the right things....

None of the women I know REALLY want
to marry a "George Clooney", it would
be TOO MUCH WORK and too much trouble!

You will "click" with someone sooner or
later.

I like the way you write...maybe you
could meet people who would develop
a natural admiration for you at a
writer's workshop-type situation.

:hi:

10. I have seen your photo and you look likable and very huggable.

There is a woman out there for you. All the traits you listed are desirable.

[BarenakedLady]

14. I agree

Totally huggable. :)

11. Buy me one of those and put a Japanese garden in the backyard

complete with a small koi pond and I'll marry you. I can cook. :D

13. I appreciate everyone's encouragement in this thread

You guys are the best. :pals:
