To: Concentrate

I'm an old married man, married more than a quarter century now, so dating and pleasing women isn't something that's a priority for me, but for any male anywhere, it's always better to be seen as pleasing to the other sex than not.

Looks and money are important to a lot of females. I'm amazed by this baloney that women don't use their eyes as much as men do. Men, just walk into a restaurant with a tall good looking fellow as your dinner companion sometime and watch the female clerks and waitresses get absolutely tongue tied and slobber eyed over him. One young lady made such a fool out of herself with a buddy of mine the other day that I unknowingly snickered at her.

There's no sure way to land a woman. It's one of the most frustrating and complicated things in the world for a reason. There's a lot at stake for both parties. There's no surefire way to measure chemistry and compatibility and stereotypes aside, women do look for a lot of things when choosing a man. The best ones I've seen are the old fashioned types. I married one of those. Even when getting along with the cosmopolitans in the workplace or wherever, you know you wouldn't want to live with one.

Somebody said it. The last half of the twentieth century damaged relationships between the sexes tremendously. My kids have all paired up pretty well. Perhaps with the deaths of a few more members of my own Baby Boom generation, things will become more as they were before feminism became such an entrenched philosophy and societal curse.

But as far as this so-called expert and his tips and website: I know that when the time is right and it's the right person, you can't do it wrong. I've seen some of the world's great sad sacks find happiness when that one magical person appears.

The other day, I was at a seminar and a woman of similar age and myself were drawn together by that unexplainable magnetism. Of course, we were both married and knew nothing was going to come of it. But to look into each other's eyes and greet each other with "If only..." is a refreshing thing now and then. It never hurts to feel attractive for a few moments.

Of course, my wife had about a dozen propositions at her last high school reunion. Next time I'm going with her.

Yup. But unfortunately, the right person for me didn't live long enough.

True words never spoken. A vigilant eye will get rewarded. It shows that you care.
