    like turning on a light switch!

    In a way it is.... There are no woman outside? You drive to work past none? You live in montana where they are all taken? finding someone is first Not jumping to the conclusion. If you want to bed someone or get married tomorrow, chances are you will find only someone to make you more miserable. :) getting to know someone takes time, but the first light switch is knowing it does, accepting it does, and trying anyhow. Don't wear your heart on a sleeve, don't mope around and ignore all the women either. Living life is a light switch, the rest just comes with time.

      It's a no win situation, so make the best of it. When you're alone you wish you had someone around and when there is someone always around you wish you were alone. I picked the one that was best for me. My wife isn't the greatest to look at, but she's good company. I figure out ways to go off by myself for some me time when I need it.

      You mean, when you need to be around attractive women? ;)

        I don't recall ever telling anyone about huge Sunday fry-ups, but then again I drink too much so my memory ain't what it used to be :)

        Big fat fry up, black pudding, lots of Soss and eggs, tomatoes, some sort of fries (or hashbrowns I think), liver, the heart of your mortal enemy, then its off to the pub for a midday drink before its off to the football game to continue your conquest of your foes... ring any bells?

          Well, I have seen it tried... never tried it myself... I think it only works under the age of 21, after that it gets creepy....

          Perhaps, perhaps.... First I had to learn how to live alone, without desperation, then all of sudden there were women. :) If you are trying to fill a gap in your own life with another person, perhaps filling it with things you like, then finding a woman who shares those things you filled it with?

              I live in a rural town of about 8,000 where many young(er) people of any intelligence move away to find work, so there's only a small pool to choose from to begin with. Finding a woman who reads CP from those who are left will be tricky... ;P

                There are many ways to meet women, especially nowadays. You could take up an evening class, join a club, get involved with some local activity and there's always online dating. A lot of (completely wrong-headed) people will tell you that any of the above is sad/geeky/nerdy/whatever, but f'em. You'll meet more women than you ordinarily would in day to day life, have more of a chance of finding someone who has the same interests as you and is possibly also looking for the same things you are. In short, get out there Steve and mix it up a bit. Sitting at home staring at a screen waiting for Miss. Perfect to knock on the door ain't going to do it for you. Seek and ye shall find!

                  This statement is false.

                    I could write a book about it mate, from the one who flashed me her tits via mobile and said she wanted to wake up next to me, before we'd even met(!), to the stock response after chatting online/meeting of "keep in touch" which actually means "sod off". In my experience it's not a great success.

                          Ah, you see, you're thinking about finding the right woman. Now that is tricky because she doesn't exist, but the indefinite woman is very easy to find :)

                          Really? In my experience, it's just the opposite, as in: "I definitely want those shoes" "I definitely need a new handbag" "I'm definitely not giving you my phone number"

                            I came from a rural town of 5092... your point? or are you just excusing why you should never have to try?

                              It was not an excuse, merely a statement of fact. And who says I never try?
