Dear Amy: I'd like to be in a relationship again, but I never even get asked out (unless you count frisky 85-year-olds and drunks at the corner bar). I'm a 32-year-old woman who's happy, sociable, and attractive. (I paid for college by modeling and continue to take care of myself.) I'm second-in-command at a big company, financially secure, and own a beautiful home. How can I meet men in general, and more specifically, men I'd actually want to date?

Dear Deluxe: To scare away vampires, it takes garlic and crosses, which make ugly bulges in sleek, satin evening bags. Luckily, all you have to do to scare away men is pull out a business card that says ''senior vice president.''
''Power is the ultimate aphrodisiac,'' said Henry Kissinger. Sure it is unless you're a woman. Research by Stephanie L. Brown and Brian P. Lewis, published in Evolution and Human Behavior (Nov. '04), seems to confirm what many lonely women at the top already know: When guys go for the woman in the boardroom, it isn't the woman running the meeting but the secretary who wheeled in the coffee and croissants before it started.
Sure, plenty of men will scamper up the corporate ladder for a one-night stand. But, according to Brown and Lewis' study, men looking for dates or relationships tend to prefer their subordinates to their colleagues or bosses. The researchers hypothesize that men evolved to want women they can control as a means of guarding against ''parental uncertainty'' unwittingly raising kids fathered by the Neanderthal next door as their own. Brown and Lewis think this may also explain why men are suckers for ''behavioral expressions of vulnerability'' women who act like they might not be able to make it across the street

Relax my dear, I am married for almost 19 years and not about to screw up for a fling.
I merely pointed out, that even WITH the wedding ring on, the Ladies were flirtatious to say the least!
Oh, BTW what I ment "no rings on the fingers", was that the Ladies had none.
Mileage?
Don't dare waste another minute on this wench! She's completely unworthy of your beautiful quatrains!
Re post #671 - ROTFLMAO....
Men aren't superior to women or in charge. God created woman as an equal to man.
God created man and woman on the same day with equal identity. That is, both were made in the image of God (Gen. 1:24-31) and both were given the mandate by God to "be fruitful and multiply and subdue the earth" (Gen. 1:28). God also formed woman from man's side ( Hebrew sela = side ; Gen. 2:21-22) as a helper comparable to him (Gen.2:18). The Hebrew word ezer = helper (Gen. 2:18) is a noble word used often in the Bible of God Himself (for example, Ex. 18:4, Deut. 33:7, Ps. 46:1). ãShe was to be a companion just like the man - with intelligence, personality, ethical and moral sensitivity, and spiritualityä (The Nelson Study Bible). The man and his wife were to become one flesh (Gen. 2:24).In conclusion, we may summarize the woman's role in the following way: woman was created as an equal to man and as his helper. There is also total equality of man and woman in the body of Christ (Gal. 3:26-28). However in the economy of God, the woman is voluntarily to submit to the man in accordance with the authority which God created (Eph. 5:17-24, I Peter 3:1-6, I Tim. 2:11-15). This is like the submission demonstrated by the Son to the Father and the Spirit to the Son and the Father in the Trinity (I Cor. 11:2-3,Ê John 14:25-28; 8:29, Eph. 5:1) - a mutual submission between equals. This attitude of submission is very precious to God (I Peter 3:4), honorable before men (I Peter 3:6-7), and will be greatly rewarded at the Judgment-Seat of Christ (Prov. 31:30-31, I Tim. 3:13).

Hey RightOnline! Nice to see you again! :)!
Oh no worries, the quatrains aren't for her anyway. She told me early on she doesn't like poetry.
Follow up - it finally occured to her she crossed the line, she sent a text message apologising if she had offended me.
Hmmm. :)
Regards, Ivan
Always a beautiful post from this beautiful woman! Hi Victoria! :)
Well, I might as well say a big HELLO to you, too, MadIvan. :)!
Summer!!! So good to see you!
And hello to you too.
Regards, Ivan
:) !! (that's a DOUBLE exclamation mark for two of my favorite posters; no offense to anyone else as I have a long list of favorites)
That was good advice you gave to MadIvan; he is nice guy. However I did not read the whole thread so I don't really know all that is going on.
LOL! Welcome back my friend.
Believe me, I've taken the advice on board.
Regards, Ivan
A wise decision! :)
LaineyDee,
Well, it's true.
My first love, you know, the intense one, and I used to spend all our time in the woods, slipping down waterfalls, climbing hills, all that stuff.
We did the movie and dinner thing a few times, but my best memories are running from that bad boy in the woods. Boy, did I get into all kinds of trouble with him.
And I swear, if he came within, say, four states of me today I would be like a doe during the annual rut.
Good thing for me (and him) he lives way out west and I live in the eastern U.S.
Some of these Freeper guys get it, but of course if you spent your life on concrete you'd have no clue.
My bird dog is begging for some attention now, I really need to go, it's getting deep on this thread.
There's a hoot owl calling me, it is dusk, and I'm going to run my little birdog gal through the woods a while.
I truly want your opinion on this. I thought I was the only human who noticed this stuff.
