I surely did read much of this thread but the person in their 20's posted and I say Oh Brother.

I know a man, who is now about 83 or so and NEVER married, never had children and is so totally SELFISH in every part of his life. He cared for no one else and his social graces sure show it. He plays in one of my bridge groups as the host wanted another man in the group...I have a hard time stomaching this person....

I had to ask him to bring "stuff to share" with the group for our once a month gatherings. Everyone brought something but him....

This man has a debileating disease now and hires help around clock. Spending all his money on something now to employ people. Charity, I'd bet he never gave a penny. And he had a high paying profession.

Just saying, marriage is not vital, but give to others.

Good example of what can happen if you only care about yourself. Thats certainly not my problem, but I no longer give many the benefit of the doubt after being sh*t on so much. I did do a good deed last week when I saw a man begging for money. I usually ignore them because I think they're all alcoholics or drug abusers, but this man was different. He was in his 70's and said he was trying to save his house from foreclosure for he and his wife. I had initially walked by and not paid attention, but then I went to my car and grabbed all my change (I only had $1 in my wallet). I listened to his story and gave him $5. I wish I'd had more with me at the time. Maybe I was a sucker, but who cares. I felt good about it.

I'm not a philanthropist, but I have volunteered. I was a big brother after my ex-wife left me. I've also volunteered for pet charities. At least animals appreciate me and my time.

Best option for a carefree life in my view. I am far from the selfish monster from the bridge group someone described a few posts ago, but I'm VERY protective of my time and space. If I grant you some of either, best believe you earned it.

Ditto. I've only lived in 4 cities, but this is the worst by far.



Giving my opinion isn't speaking for everyone. I'm stating my opinion. Its a free country.
There's probably a lot of decent women, they aren't single though. Oklahoma is a male dominated industry state with a lot of energy companies and so on, much like my area. My area is flooded with men working in male dominated fields.

A state that would be the opposite of Oklahoma or my area is a state like NC. Where the largest employers are universities and their hospitals, Merril Lynch, Allstate, Time Warner, banks, these are the types of organizations where women work and where women are migrating to.

Yeah ... but .... beauty isn't everything. Don't come to LA. Lots of pretty airheads and superficial creatures who are very self centered. They throw you away the first time you bring up an issue.


I rather date a not so hot person.

Get a dog, if you take care of it and love it, it will always be by your side. My dog would go to hell with me if that's where I was going, I don't need people.

I always figured CA had a lot of gold diggers to me that's the #1 worst type of woman and I use that term fairly liberally, not just for women that go after millionaires. There's different levels.

I didn't even mean that, I personally don't know of any gold diggers and I don't have rich friends.
