Let me ask you Rod.   How many 50 year old me do YOU know that are in
*MY* situation?


100?

20??

1??

Come on now. Name me ONE 50 year old STRAIGHT male that you know that
never even got CLOSE to the wedding isle. Just one is all I ask.

Can't do it can you. Don't you think that might mean there is
something unique in this situation?

Now. Turn that around a little.

Name me 10 Assholes you know that not only married once, but married
twice or even three times!

I'll bet you come a lot closer to nameing the ten than nameing the
one. While you are think of those names..... answer me this..... Why
didn't the attitudes of the 10 shoot them down?????

I appreciate your effort at being honest. But try a little harder next
time to look beyond everything being the person with the problem's
fault. I know in this case doing so would mean admitting that some of
the generalities about women might be somewhat true.... but after all,
is was you that called for the honesty wasn't it?
