Well, if nothing else, you sure do know how to ask a loaded question! There are so many angles to consider nowadays. First, if you have never been married, then as some have mentioned, you may be pretty set in your ways, even more than you realize. I feel that women seek companionship even more than men, but they also seek money, and other material things. I tried to teach my three kids the proper values in life. My son's first wife was Canadian and was just looking for a way to stay in the States. We tried to tell him. His second wife had three kids and as soon as the youngest finished high school, she was gone. Well, they aren't divorced yet, but she decided she wanted to become a truck driver at about 42 years of age. She hasn't been home for two years now. My oldest daughter is on her third marriage. My youngest daughter is 42, was engaged years ago, but he got cold feet, she says she is too set in her ways to get married, although I can tell she is lonely at times. My wife died at 62, five years ago, after 44 years of marriage. I get terribly lonely at times, but at 76 years old, I just can't see myself asking another woman to put up with what may be just around the bend, because one never knows when they may need constant care. Besides, the way today's society is, you can never be sure of their motives. I can well understand your feelings. Before I married, I had two other rather serious relationships, but I just never did hit it off with their parents, and believe me, being able to get along with your in-laws is very important. At your age, you may meet a woman whose parents are still alive,but would be older and you never know when something will happen. This is something to consider also, as you well know, parents often need help from different sources, and if they should be in a care facility, there would be the scheduling of visits and often other help. There are just so many things to consider. I will not say that someday you will or will not find a woman that you will be happy with, but I do feel that the older you get, the more complicated things can be. And, for the same reason, DO NOT rush into a marriage! You can THINK you know someone, until they say "I do", and then find out "they won't". I feel that all the previous comments pretty well covered everything, but just wanted to add my quarters worth. (I know, it used to be two cents worth, but ya gotta allow for inflation.) LOL

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo. ... [Read Article]
