I'd just as soon rent one than own one.

Could be she is playing possum and going to do him in for the big score.

Too bad Paul McCartney didn't think that way. http://sarcatrist.wordpress.com/

that is so it. being a musician, I really felt a lot of empathy for Paul McCartney. talk about getting his clock cleaned. it sure appeared like she set him up for a hard fall.

"Had Paul McCartney ‘employed’ Kristen for 5 years, he would’ve paid $7.3 million for an hour of sex every night for 5 years (a saving of $41.7 million).
Other Value Added Benefits are:
A 22 year old hot babe, no begging, no coaxing, never a headache, plays all requests, ability to put BOTH legs around you (!!!), no *****ing and complaining or ‘to do’ lists. Best of all, she leaves when you’re done, and comes back when you ask her. All at 1/7th the cost, with no legal fees.
Now you decide, Is owning better or Renting!!"

I"ll bet his accountant would agree........

BTW I may be angling for a 380SL that a 70-plus owner may not want. After I sell the extra diesels and Citroens, I would have more room, more cash and something to play with...er if I buy the 380SL. He's looking at 4,000 and it has no rust but some fuel delivery problems and starting problems.

Pls feel free to continue your comments.

I have tried the 26 year old set previously and they are not intellectually challenging enough for me. I get bored. Plus, after an hour or two of vigorous conjunctive activity, they get winded...no one exercises any more.... :(

I only drive on the straight road and avoid dead ends. Hope that clears any uncertainty.

One of my best friends prefers to date Korean or Chinese women (he was married to a very pretty Korean woman who passed away after a long bout with cancer). He states he gets the best results on Match.com.

DITTO the stay away from Craigslist.

When/if you do meet someone online, make eye contact as soon as possible. People often email back and forth, building each other into something larger than life, then are let down when they finally do meet.

What would be great is an online matchmaker that personally met every member and could vouch for them.

Or a boat. It is equally high maintenance, but will at least take you where you want to go.

I did the online thing for a while...I am over it...

Oddly enough here was my experience...

First I tried the old, let me be myself...nice guy..ra ra ra...
Well I got ZERO...
most women i met more interested in what I do for a living, how much I make and where I live.... PASS

Then i posted the most horrendous tyranny of all evil ad..
I mean it was almost satirical....
stuff like, I like a variety of women, but the kind I like the best are the ones that leave in the morning quietly AFTER fixing me breakfast...just horrible stuff!!!

I couldn't keep up with the amount of women pinging me...

What did i learn?
Women , especially in my age range (40-50) are screwed up BIGTIME!!!

Second, I am still better off living by the motto I adopted after my divorce 5 years ago, it goes like this
Women, can't live with em...can't live with em!!!

Good luck!

This was my first and last attempt at online dating. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ixqbc7X2NQY

I tried a few of them several years ago. The one thing I liked was that you knew going in a lot about them that would normally take a few dates to find out so you don't waste a lot of time.

One bad aspect was that I found myself looking at women's bios as if I were window shopping. Someone's bio may have a less than perfect picture or they may not be great at describing themselves. So a woman that you would normally be very attracted to is quickly passed over on the website for another that looks nicer. It gets too easy to simply click to the next "match".

Here's an example: I remember seeing an asian woman on a Catholic dating site I belonged to. Horrible picture-- so I moved on. A few months later she updated her picture and I saw that she actually was very attractive. We dated for four months.

After a couple years, though, I got tired of the online thing and gave up on it. A few months later a bunch of friends and I got together to see "screen on the green" movie shown in Baltimore MD. One gal really caught my eye.
We've been married two years now..... :)
