    3 vs. 300. Sounds about right.

    And we all know the guys were lying about how fussy they are.

    I was only joking

      I have limited bandwidth in my plan, and have to be very stingy about what I watch. So I can't afford the squander. So I have no opinon.

        How fussy can they be? They hang out with us.

            They know how wealthy we are. Some of us even brag about our wealth, which I find to be in extremely poor taste.

            Education is extremely important.

                I've been married to the same fella for 36 years. If he's not Mr. Right by now, then I haven't done my job of molding him to suit me.

                It's sort of like that line about teaching a man to fish, and he'll be able to eat for a lifetime.
                If you teach a husband how to behave, then he'll be a good husband for a lifetime.

                Go ahead and prove me wrong. 😆

                    I'll take a stab at it. I'm still not sure what the question is, but that's never stopped me yet.

                    I'm not at all picky. (See Jon's observation, above.) As long as he's extremely rich, handsomer than Hugh Jackman, smarter than a St. Bernard, and willing to leave me with a black Amex card while he's off pursuing his quest for the perfect mistress, preferably in foreign countries, I'm satisfied. That's all I need.

                          Are there opportunities to simplify? If he’s going to be off pursuing the perfect mistress somewhere else and won’t be around you, do you even need to care whether he is handsome? Heck, as long he’s away from you, do you even need to care where he is or what he’s pursuing? Really, would just the black Amex card and basically leaving you alone suffice?

                                I'm pretty sure a deal-breaker for me would be that she responded to that survey.

                                As Jon would say, selection bias run amok.

                                  For the single people she talks about and their expectations, I wonder how things change as a person ages.

                                    Absolutely.
                                    I would also bet she surveyed only a few men, the rest were busy looking for the wimminz.

                                      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                                        All of this type of survey can basically be filed under the title 'I don't know, young people today...'

                                        And I generally don't believe them.

                                        I was only joking

                                          They know how wealthy we are. Some of us even brag about our wealth, which I find to be in extremely poor taste.

                                          @horace It's only in poor taste if you don't share some with us. I'll pm you my email for you to send a PayPal to me.
