So sad. All these older people have EXPERIENCE and some have much WISDOM but it never gets to the young people who need it the most when they are starting out their lives because the elderly in the West are cut off from general society and young people think of them as useless.

To make matters worse, elderly people often live alone and people assume they don't want/need any physical intimacy or sexual contact so they are forced to live in confinement and solitude.

Elderly people have the same wants and desires as young people and it's absolutely inhumane that they are treated in such a despicable way.

I don't have time to set the record straight on everything you've got wrong I've got a busy day.
you're the one with a warped view of thailand.

Where did I admit that I'm a loser? I said I'm not rich and I'm still working on my career and bettering myself...this is only an issue with the ultra picky American women...not normal women that look for the right things. What is your definition of a loser? Someone that isn't rich by their mid 30's???? I love how it always goes back to money with all you women on here...then you try to say personality is the main thing that matters....nothing like flat out lying is there? It's very easy to see why guys like me are fed up.

I'm not doing mail order there are dating sites where you can talk to foreign women. On Eharmony you can choose to be matched up with women all over the world if you want. These threads prove there is a problem in our society. I love women and look for the right things in a relationship partner....American women do not all they care about is how much money a guy has and where he is at on the career ladder. Sad!!!!!

So again...I'd love to know what your definition of a loser is, after all, it's good to know where you're coming from when you post in these types of threads right?

If I had looked at my husbands "career ladder" when we were dating, I would have bought him a step stool and bolted. What kind of women are you meeting?

Oh, is that why women would still be paid less for that work these days, too? As women are still paid less for the same work than men, unless they're in the civil service or military?

Women marry men who they feel are on their level, but they generally aim for much higher.

For one thing, you're speaking out of turn. You don't know what women "generally" do.

For another, as I've pointed out many, many times on these threads, quite a few of my girlfriends married men who make less than half of what they make. I did the same.

And finally, quite a few men seek out women who make less than they do, or are not in high-powered jobs. [URL="http://lingualeo.ru/jungle/45501"]Miranda's experience[/URL] captures it perfectly. When she said she was a lawyer, men got bored. When she said she was a stewardess, all of a sudden, DING DING DING!

It happens.
