if 65 means you are 42, you still have time left(but not much) to have a real life with a real woman, but you have to change your attitude. whereof do i speak? i noticed 40 years ago (i'm 62) that i was having a lot more luck with women than my friends. however a "long term affair" would last two weeks. why is that? the only possible explanation is looks. i couldn't see it myself, but i guess i must have been good-looking. (i was one of those who didn't age well - if my wife of 25 years met me now, she probably wouldn't be interested.) you have to face the facts, a woman is essential for a happy life but they are different from men. they are more shallow (ok, "socially conscious"). if you are fat, you must lose the weight (for some reason women obsess over weight, even of others). on one of your innumerable posts, you say you dress well - good. i didn't have to, but then i was good-looking, if you're not, you have to help out nature. once you have a relationship, and if, fortunately, you get one (accidently) where "the rocks in his head fit the holes in hers", you can have a wonderful life. all is yet open, but not in 20 years.
LeCastor! nice to see your name! but as usual, i disagree with you (back to former persona). you say, "France has a women's labor participation rate of nearly 80%, while the US cannot break 60%? How about our college degree attainment rate of only about 23%?" what's so great about WORKING? i thought the french were more civilized. they mandate two people working, but they each only work 35 hours? no wonder they have to pay people to have children! there are 3 women for each 2 men in college. School is for Girls! everyone knows that. didn't used to be, but now it is. and on top of that, how many people *ought* to go to college? One manager per worker? (with undocumenteds doing all the scut work)
