When I met my OH he was the singer in a Band and had bright green hair, not exactly rich and powerful, I thought he might be good for a laugh for a few weeks, that was over ten years ago

I don't have any such issues. Lived with a girlfriend for quite a while. It is much better this way.
You really are going to die alone...

Sorry to disappoint you but my wife is a 5'11"ft babe with a Masters degree. Its not like the barrel was scraped.

Canadian chicks, they love a British accent...

Never said that. They are just not in abundance.

Just yesterday I met a beautiful Persian girl on the subway. Slim, long black hair, dark seductive eyes... we are going to meet up again later this week..

And then there is the beautiful Ukranian girl at the coffee shop that gives me the most beautiful smile and flirts with me every time I go there for coffee..

And then there is the Polish real estate agent who I met when I took my dog to Petsmart....

And then.. and then......

Life often isn't what you expect, but its nice to be pleasantly surprised.
When I first saw my OH, he was was leaning back in his chair, wearing a military jacket, dark glasses and cowboy boots. I was intrigued at his bizarre appearance and wanted to find out more. The rest is history.

The first time I saw my OH he was on stage spraying whipped cream on his chest (not a pretty site) I did think he was a bit of an idiot But at least he wasn't shy.

Umm.. is that what she has you believing? It sounds like she is the one who wears the pants in the house.

And you sound like one of those figuratively neutered males I was referring to earlier in the thread.
