Crusoe Posted December 13, 2012 Posted December 13, 2012 Just a little story. A workmate of mine, a carpenter, had a stroke a couple of years back. He'd already been having a rotten time after his son dying and then being annihilated in his divorce and none of us could believe how his life had fallen apart so drastically. The stroke left slightly paralysed down his left side and unable to speak properly. He was only early 50's, a lovely fella and his future looked very bleak. Anyway, he decided he would try to carry on working so he could stay busy and be around his mates, so he struck a deal to work for a third of what he used to earn. It took us all a long time to adjust to him. We could barely understand a word he said and we had to learn to be patient with his now slow work rate but none of us minded, we were just glad he could still be active, albeit with only one arm, a permanent dribble and his usual string of bad jokes. Earlier this year we did a job for a prim and proper school teacher (she reminded me of a couple of Katherine Hepburn characters) and she took a real shine to this fella. They've been togther for 10 months now and he is like a teenager again. She sometimes pops into work to bring him something nice for lunch and always says goodbye to him with a frisky slap on the ar*e. I guess all I am saying is, you never know how likely love is.... 2
pteromom Posted December 13, 2012 Posted December 13, 2012 How old are you, suds? Younger women are more shallow, and women looking to start a family are looking for a fantasy life, but older women typically just want someone who is kind and loving and a good person. I wouldn't give up. As a matter of fact, you need to do the opposite. You need to cast your net as wide as possible so you can meet as many women who are open to dating you as possible. Join all the OLD sites. Go to meet-ups in your area. See if friends know anyone who may want to meet you. Send your availability out into the universe in all directions, and you'll have the best possible chance of something coming back to you.

I am young (23), have a six-pack, have a chest that is probably 1 in a 500-1000, am a salaried manager and women ignore me. Is there a point here?
It's Just Me Posted December 14, 2012 Posted December 14, 2012 I am young (23), have a six-pack, have a chest that is probably 1 in a 500-1000, am a salaried manager and women ignore me. Is there a point here? Quit being a dick, and you'll be golden. 2
Esoteric Elf Posted December 14, 2012 Posted December 14, 2012 (edited) Quit being a dick' date=' and you'll be golden.[/quote'] A lesson on causality and correlation my friend, and please do not confuse the two. Edit: I just realized my previous post's "is there a point here" could have been taken as "is there a point to sudso00's post?" when I meant "comparing Esoteric Elf's and sudso00's situations, what points can be deduced (point to be made here)". Apologies for unintentionally ambiguous language. Edited December 14, 2012 by Esoteric Elf
Author suds00 Posted December 14, 2012 Author Posted December 14, 2012 strangely enough,your point makes me feel better.thanks.
Esoteric Elf Posted December 15, 2012 Posted December 15, 2012 strangely enough,your point makes me feel better.thanks. I respect you. The point I was making is that love is indiscriminate: some feel its effects, others not. One can be as deformed, prime, ugly or attractive as one wants, but love can bypass them all. That was the point I was hinting at. That being said, I wish you the best. 1
