I think everyone has the loser-attraction ability.
Some people are just better at getting rid of them faster. You sound like you do pretty well. At least you didn't marry one.

Also, no need to feel sorry. When I reflect on my life, I find that my happiest times have occurred when I have been without a girlfriend, and some of the most depressing times have been when I have been in relationships. I am actually at a high point right now, and most people already see their life mapped out before them when they reach 31. My possibilities are wide open...if I want to move, change jobs, take a vacation, or whatever, I can do so if I please, without fear of making things inconvenient for someone else.
There's something wonderful about autonomy. I do what I please, when I please, and that's something that a lot of my married friends are very jealous of.
Don't get me wrong, I'd love to find a nice girl and settle down, but if it doesn't happen, it isn't really a big deal to me at this point. Maybe my feelings will change down the road, but right now, I'm satisfied with the way things are.
The single life is a pretty sweet deal.

Boy, did I come close once. She already had the ring and everything.
Fortunately, she returned it, because putting it back in the box and setting it on the coffee table made for a much more dramatic exit than keeping it to pawn later.

The best thing that happened to my old "Irish temper" was when I bought my first shotgun and took a basic(hunter safety) training course.(I was 20 then).

I have a slow temper, generally. My biggest fear is perhaps that someone would try to say that I intended to use the gun on them, and that was my reason for getting into a fight with them.
Or, worse yet, getting in a scuffle which resulted in my gun being taken from me, then used against me.

"Soccer star David Beckham and swimming champion Ian Thorpe have been held up as personifying metrosexuals."
Since when is Ian Thorpe straight?

That part I did. I only got her credit card bills paid off last year.

The little head usurps the big head. I hate when that happens!

Yep.

Well duh! Money talks, Cajun walks. I hope his dick gets worms!

Hey chere, worked for me. Married 26 yrs, shouted my vows at the wedding for all to hear, 3 kids, we both work, housework, yardwork, wash clothes, cook, ...et al. She is my and I am her's best friend; the rest comes naturally. No relationship will survive if it is one sided. I'm a lucky man.
To: Mister Magoo
The woman described by most British men as "closest to my ideal wife" is Felicity Kendal, star of '80s and often repeated sitcom The Good Life, with 21 per cent. Somehow I doubt "The Young Ones" were all that sensitive, kind, caring, and metrosexual.

LOL. 50-some posts and no one clicked on Flaming Death's handle? Mister Magoo is most likely his alter ego. Does everyone drink heavily at night? Electronic pest repeller problems cracked me up.
To: Buckwheats
Mr. Magoo my alter ego? Nah. I just met Mr. Magoo tonight.
Actually, I was wondering how long it would be before someone found that little gem hiding in my profile. You're the first. I'm quite proud of it.
The actual letters are written by four different guys, including myself, so in effect, I am only one of "Donald's" four personalities.
Leave a message in the guestbook or email us...we love to hear from our readers.

You're funny, even though you do have a lot of time on your hands. Come morning, there will be a few folks who will regret having posted to this thread.
My advice to them: always look for clues that no one would publically admit to being such a dork, even anonymously and even if they were; and, post sober.

Re #34
I think that recent liberalism(feminism) ended up producing males of two opposite groups.
- Bad boys who stopped caring or behaving. They produce most of children and create most of problems.
- Nice boys who are drilled to respect and revere women. But when bad boys create messes, nice boys frequently end up sharing the blame with them.
To: Mister Magoo
Something is very much amiss here. Felicity Kendal is 60 something and Nigella has a HUGE bum ( hich English men like a lot ! ),can cook,has a pretty face, but hasn't a clue about what to wear. Honestly, I think that this article is not only just a puff piece, but utter drivel. LOL
To: Mister Magoo
If you think this is scary. Somebody should tell you about 'Japanese pretty boys'. It seems Japan is about 10 years further/worse off than England.
