There are handy little walkie-talkies which fit nicely into a purse... most ham radio club meetings are going to be at least 50% retired old married guys, but the few women at the club meetings tend to be 50+. Many of the younger guys at the club meetings are in their 20s and 30s, physically fit (a lot of hikers and bicycle riders) and they own successful businesses... they will appreciate younger women who make an effort to get into the radio hobby. So, give it a try. ]]> In Search Of...

It seems to me that any magazine, book etc that I read tells me that because I'm a girl I need to wait until a guy asks me out. I have been following this advice all my life and since I was about 23 I've been hoping to get married. Yet I haven't found anyone and it's not because I don't meet people. I have loads of friends and I'm fun to be around. I'm average looking but that should be enough! I come from a traditional background so I've always just thought that of course I would get married and I haven't been worried about it but now it's starting to worry me a bit because it seems like I won't find anyone this way. Obviously I'm not looking for just ANYONE but I'm not superpicky, I just want someone who respects me and wants more than just sex. Impossible? ]]> In Search Of...

For godsake, people... FIND ANOTHER WAY TO IMPROVE YOUR QUALITY OF LIFE!!! Take a couple of classes! Turn your hobby into a business! Until that special person picks you, it has to be about pleasing YOURSELF. You can't waste time being in love with that empty space in your heart. You cannot love an absence.

I'll admit straight out that I used to be a mama's boy until I was 40. I bummed around for all that time. But guess what? When the big event happened, I inherited a house... and since then, I didn't feel sorry for myself, I improved my quality of life! I turned 2 of my hobbies into businesses which pay well, I've written 2 novels, I learned how to invest money and play the stock market, and I won a dispute against some powerful people who were threatening to rob me blind and throw me out of my house. You other guys who read this, trust me... any man who can't wash his own dishes is a wimp.

So... I know that when my retirement comes, I won't have any reason to feel negative. I don't let it bother me that I'm not getting any action, because I improved my quality of life and I know how to take care of it. If that makes me any more or less a hunk, well then I don't really waste time worrying about it. Whatever single women might think of me, if they're not serious about wanting to build a life with a man who knows how to be happy, well then their opinion of me matters about as much as a pimple on the face of the moon. Any woman who thinks I'm interesting is free to approach me and make the first move whenever she's ready to put her cards on the table. ]]> In Search Of...

I have no one to talk to and my friends seem to want nothing to do with me anymore.

I moved an hour away and most of my friends either stopped talking to me for one reason or another, or are wrapped up in their relationships. I have social anxiety, so sometimes it's difficult to meet new people. My family is distant and hardly talks to me. I am just tired of feeling alone and unable to form close bonds with people. I have "friends", but they aren't there for me when I need them.

I hate that i feel this way. I am just tired of being alone and don't want to throw pity parties for myself anymore, but don't know where to turn. I hate feeling hopeless on some days. ]]> In Search Of... V.Vixen http://www.loveshack.org/forums/showthread.php?t=210372
