I completely understand where you are coming from. The older and wiser intellectual types I've met want an ornament on their arm, not someone to actually have a conversation with.
On the other hand, it's hard to find a guy who likes a chick who can talk about politics, world affairs, history, life, and of course, sports- especially football! I love football. My best friend's husband and his brother were shocked into silence by this- they said I know more than they do about the sport!
Now we know why Condi Rice is still single. *SIGH*

WARNING.... When I am an old woman I shall wear purple
With a red hat which doesn't go and doesn't suit me.
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter.
I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired
And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells
And run my stick along the public railings
And make up for the sobriety of my youth.
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
And pick the flowers in other people's gardens . . .
But maybe I ought to practice a little now?
So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised
When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.

The problem is, are there single guys who are willing to watch a flame turn into a fire? There used to be. Being many years removed from the dating scene myself, I can't speak with certainty about the current crop. I get the impression the brats have been spoiled by overindulgent '60's parents and a lifetime of instant gratification, but I think you can slap that out of them if you work at it.
Nice dog. Do you also have a boat?

Can't help but think of that old Grateful Dead standard, "U.S. Blues":
"Back-to-back
Chicken shack
Son-of-a-gun
Better change your act...."
In other words - adapt!

A boat? Nope. But I hope to have a Sea Doo this summer. You can't live near Lake Michigan and not have one, you know.

Love and being in love have proven to be the lease stable way to start a marriage.

But seriously, I've found that wonderful women have an amazing talent(or perhaps a developed skill) to present complaints and demands in a way that a guy ALMOST doesn't recognize it as such. Charm and the right attitude are God's gift to men via women.
To: fr_freak
Too bad.
But then I never went for the Fr.'s
It was a bit much in Catholic Ireland, if ye know what I mean.

I agree. But which one do you base a marriage on? I love many people, but I have only been 'in love' twice.

Oh, geez, and then you have to ruin that great impression by being a Lions fan!

Usually I'm reticent to get involved in these lonely hearts discussions, but.... I did find a woman when I was in undergrad who was both deeply intelligent and thoroughly feminine.
Unfortunately, she was also a committed Shambhala Buddhist from the Bay Area, and there just wasn't reconciling deeply-held but diametrically opposed religious beliefs.
Still looking and wondering where one can find that sort of combination in a Catholic woman.

It most definitely is whining. Oh poor me I've got an education and a good job and xyz personal possessions but I can't find a man.
So? If you think it will help you to find a man, divest! Call the university and have them expunge your degree from the records, give your house and possessions to charity, quit your job. Then put place a personals ad in the paper saying you're a high school graduate with no particular job skills looking for LTR with your goal being "traditional" marriage and children.
I mean c'mon, if all these things are the problem and they're scaring all the good men away from you, then it seems rather simple to fix the situation. Divest!
NOTE: I'm using YOU in the rhetorical sense. I'm talking about all these anecdotal whiny women people like Whitehead supposedly dig up. I'm not talking about you personally and have no interest in criticizing your personal affairs.
These women need to grow up and stop whining. Anyone who wants can find a good man to marry. It's not that hard. There are plenty of men who are too picky and end up alone as well. That's what is happening to these women to. Only they don't want to face that, they'd rather blame their education and career for scaring men off, when in fact it is their whiny personalities.
Also I can't stand Friends. Talk about a group of whiny women. And by the way, none of the women portrayed on Friends has a "career". They have menial jobs at best. And it hasn't helped them find mates past 30 either. Yet they do nothing but sit around and whine about their plight as they flit from one no-account man to the next. No doubt these fake TV women are the role models for Whitehead's whiners.

Of course, there are always the new age, sensitive members of the pansy brigade out there, if you're into that kind of thing. THAT is exactly the problem. The pansy brigade is everywhere. Construction workers seem to be the only ones who've avoided the emasculation guillotine. and big boy biceps but no brain ain't gonna satisfy Jane (anymore).

Tending the little flame until it grows to warming one is the key to relationships. We fast-tracked Americans seem to have trouble being patient and attentive to others, and what else could we become given the assault of popular culture fed through the media which tended us as children? Look at the homelife of the individual under consideration as a mate and you will find 'the stones later assembled to form the house of the soul.' There is deep wisdom in the admonition to 'bring up a child in the way that he/she should go, and when they are old they will not depart from it.' Improve the odds of a compatible mate by looking at their young homelife.

Are you kidding! I am SO EXCITED about Mooch being the new coach. I haven't been this excited about Lions football since 1981.

Agree about LA - a town best avoided - but consider the San Francisco Bay Area (not the city itself). As I mentioned on another thread, since it is a financial center, it is surprisingly full of conservative single men who have moved (or been moved) to the area for their jobs. San Diego is a great area, too, and still quite conservative, as are Palm Springs, Orange County, and the Sierra foothills. And you won't freeze to death six months out of the year...
My mom kept her Juicy Fruit stash updated, at least - no stale pieces!

I think you two need to make contact.

Come live in Ireland, where you will be inundated with SASS.
SASSY women, who are not like Italian women who want to mother you.
Sassy women who will out-field you in the market place, feed you tv-dinners, and still love ye to bits as they feed you Guinness on a Friday night down the pub!
I mean, HOW can you resist? ;-)
