God, talk about the death of romance. Whatever happened to finding one true love? I am pleased to say, it does happen.

Regards, Ivan

"God, talk about the death of romance. Whatever happened to finding one true love? I am pleased to say, it does happen."

Greetings, Mate! Good to know you're still 'angin' about!

I found a true love many years ago. She passed away and I was devastated. Now, I would like to find a decent woman to love and marry, but am in no hurry. I am not impressed with the calibre of most of the women I meet, unfortunatwly.

It is actually somewhat amusing at this point. I mean, I was your stereotypical ugly duckling when I was young, but age has changed Me to the point where I am often asked if I will do some modeling (not attempting to sound vain here, merely expressing a point). Even when I was young I was more interested in marriage than a one-night stand, and moreso these days. Now all the women who would not even give Me a second glance those days are quite interested, and I have to shake My head at their antics. Too, I knew some of the blokes they were involved with (the ones I know from back then), and I must say I was not impressed with their choices.

Now they have several children, have let themselves go downhill, and have gone through several other partners since then. That, or I still recall their Feminist rantings when they were younger. Pardon My reluctance, but I believe I have reason to doubt their decision-making abilities at this point.

Thanks, Ivan.

Lot of very bitter people here.

Wow. My wife and I dated for three years and we never lived together before we married. We've been married for three and a half years now, and we're still as crazy about each other as when we first met.

She's the kind of person who always goes out of the way to do small things to make me happy - and I've picked up the habit of doing that for her. We share everything, good times and chores included. We can discuss anything, and I don't think we've ever had a disagreement that lasted longer than an half-hour.

When I compare my experience to that of a lot of guys here, I begin to realize that I'm extremely fortunate.

It's just many of these men are looking for love in all the wrong places.

Then there are the cranky ones who just like to fuss about women, i.e., women don't know how to be a proper wife, feminists ruined them all, they take half your money, wah, wah, wah.

Feminists never ruined me. My first husband not only wanted a proper wife, he wanted me to bring home all the bacon to boot.
And these guys never talk about the men who leave their loyal, loving wives for the young honey. I wonder if it's ok to accept half the man's money if that's the case.

I think the trick is finding someone that you can agree with on the most important things and find that out before marriage.

I'm just so grateful for wonderful men like you and my husband, REAL MEN! :-)

Love your HMWHC pic HLL! LOL
