"they gravitate toward each other because none of them have kids"... that they voluntarily provide for.

"It's hard to find the right woman,"

Wasn't hard for me, I've been married to her for a long time now.

[thoughtomator]

Could it be the fascist marriage laws? Naw...

[r9etb]

Eeesh... Sounds like a buncha whiny women from Oprah. No wonder they're not married.

"I never found the right one."

More likely: I'm selfish and unwilling to compromise even on minor things.

I've been in love with the same wonderful woman for almost 27 years now. And if my wife ever finds out, she'll kill me.

Okay, I think it's from Henny Youngman.

Pepper Schwartz, a sociologist from the University of Washington and a relationship expert on PerfectMatch.com, says men who have never married in these older age ranges fall into two opposite groups....obese or rich, handsome and picky.

Obviously this relationship expert needs to get out more.

"It's hard to find the right woman,"

"I want my momma but I want her to be hot. "

They should go to San Francisco to find women. The ratios are more favorable for them because of all the homosexuals.

[Huck]

lol....so corny, yet still very funny.

[taxed2death]

Oh boy...so many juicy tid-bits in the article.

I'm gonna grab some popcorn for this... lets see... a book written by a woman about single women (she had to get one dig in there about men).....another "relationship expert"...heheheheh....."mail order brides".... fat loser men....Gen-X bashing.....I'll bet this thread hits 500 posts by lunchtime.

A woman says to a man, "I haven't seen you around here."

The man says, "Yes, I just got out of jail for killing my wife."

"So you're single…."

[conservatism_IS_compassion]

It certainly does raise the question of whether they are milking cows for free.

[speedy]

Yeah, I miss the demise of the corny, harmless joke. Which of course is how people like Henny Youngman made their livings. Love your illustration.

I just got back from a pleasure trip. I took my mother-in-law to the airport. Thank you, thank you, you've been a great audience.

[speedy]

LOL.

The Doctor called Mrs. Cohen saying "Mrs. Cohen, your check came back." Mrs. Cohen answered "So did my arthritis

Ridley-Marks says he won't settle for anything but someone who makes his heart pound. When she comes along is anyone's guess.

I bet the hold out will be the one. The chase is needed.

"Many are struggling with modern American women, so much so that one moved to the Ukraine to date women and another brought a woman back from the Philippines."

This is probably also a product of the bias towards women in the educational system. Women want to marry "up", but universities today have on average 57% women to 43% men. A surprisingly high number of my wives friends from law school never married. The complaint I heard most often was "I can't find anyone". When I suggested friends I have in the trades they were never interested. The irony is some of the guys I know in the trades started their own businesses and earn a lot more than most lawyers. All these guys ended up marrying "nonprofessional" women.

Mendenhall, who works in regional sales for a roofing and window company, hangs out with half a dozen never-married men in their late 40s and early 50s.

Cough, cough, cough. Homos. Cough, cough, cough.
