This usually happens to the other guy

[blujax01]

Yeah, I guess it's that "unraveling part I would be worried about. I te'ya I'd just about totally forgo the dating thing and just meet a nice lady that I felt attracted to and marry her. It it didn't work out then just get a divorce.

I know how to be married but I have no clue how to survive the dating scene.

Or just shortcut the system, find a woman who can't stand you, shake hands and hand over half yer stuff!

Wedding rings don't always mean married; plenty of women -- particularly ones that get hit on a lot -- wear one to ward off unwanted attention. The woman in question may be one. If she calls and there's no flight attendant friend, ask about the ring; if she isn't married, I say proceed (with caution).

If she is married, well, I think most of us here on the forum are of an age and experience level to no longer find trouble fun.

If there is a flight attendant friend, check it out -- the first woman's probably a well taken care of trophy wife looking to help her friend achieve the same. Might be interesting.

Whatever the case turns out to be (and keep us updated), just remember two important things:

1) Always be open to love.

2) If it has tail at one end it has teeth at the other.

I have a good looking,single friend that needs to travel a great deal.She has a wedding ring she wears while on the road.

Reminds me of the restroom graffiti at the corner bar:

"Just remember - that hottie you're hitting on is here because some other dude got sick of putting up with her s***"

 

[J. R. WEEMS]

I solved the problem years ago-- stayed married for 47 years now.

EEEEEK!

Raoul wants you to join the Mile High Club... he'll sponsor you.

You won't catch me playing "the other man".

Sadly, there was a time when the key word there for me would have been "catch".

Age and eighteen years of living alone (not to mention fiscal and physical deterioration) have solved the problem. Being sober for over thirty years helped too.

She approached you, found you interesting, followed you outside. The
person she is most likely interested in hooking you up with is herself.
She is married but that doesn't mean she is faithful. Many women
prefer to be the aggressor. You may get a call in a few days from her
suggesting the two of you get together at your place. When people
have a few years on them there is often very little or no dating. Often
it's more like going straight from meeting to just being together.
Dating is for young folks. She would expect you to be comfortable
with seeing a married woman and to be calm and discreet about it.

She's married alright. Also, when I called her somebody's trophy wife, you might have got the idea that she was a good bit younger than me. I pretty sure she is at least my age (50s) or older with "a bit of work done". Still atrractive though, not the Joan Rivers degree of work thank goodness.

No calls, but I just remembered tha tmy phone is set up to reject blocked numbers to weed out the salesmen. If the friend is trying to call me form a blocked phone she won't get through. Maybe I should disable that feature for a couple of days.

Right after I made the vow to go celibate, become a hermit and focus on guns, hunting and fishing the perfect woman came along by accident.

"The perfect woman"....I don't know about that phrase...
that's kinda like finding a "good attorney" isn't it?

Well, it appears that I have passed from the handsome stage back to the cute stage. I'm getting tired of sweet young things telling me how much they love me cause I remind them so much of their father.

 

[model70hunter]

I firmly believe that women are better hunters and trappers than men. If they worked on hunting and fishing 1/2 as hard as they do to trap the right man all species would be extinct.

We'd be eating and brewing corn.

So LV, as my parents used to say, watch your step. In this case it may be a medium Griz trap with teeth.

You should recognize the bait, a cold brew, a well cooked meal in a pan, frilly under things all laid on the trap's trigger which is called a "pan". So now you also know why women use pots and pans. The pan part is, trapped you once, I can do it again, watch your step.....

True, and in a few more short years one reminds them of their grandpa. And it's all to remind you that you are not in their age group. Take your prune juice to your rocker.

 

[arjay]

If you're really good at evasive maneuvers,they get a might testy.I was "unfriended" on Christmas :-O

Theys ANNIMALS!

"...In this case it may be a medium Griz trap with teeth....."

I'd rather face down a snarling Grizz than smiling Cougar.

 

[vytoland]

Steve,

go rent an E-Type, call her up, make a date and go for broke....you only live once...

 

[Mule Packer]

Personally, I've learned to never trust a beautiful woman...especially if she acts likes she's interested in me!

 

[jimmyj]

Married, Divorced, or Single:
1. Is she wealthy
2.Does she own a Gun Shop
3.Does she own a Liquor Store
4. Does she "Fool Around" on the first date?
5. Is she willing to give you a "Power of Attorney"in case you want to dump her.

It could be worse - they could tell you that you remind them of their sweaty, creepy 6th grade shop teacher.

I'm in my mid-30's.
I'm too young for women that want a an "older man" and I'm too old for a Cougar to want me.

Thank God that Mrs. Hillbilly keeps me around, though I'm sure it's just for the lawn care and vehicle maintenance.

 

[wbraswell]

Well, do you know for sure that this lady is married. She may be independently wealthy, and wears a ring because she likes the rocks.
Remember that old adage. Wham, bam, thank you, Ma'am.
I'm going down to our Porsche dealer and troll. Well, I would, if we had a Porsche dealer.
