    Man, I wish I could help you Shredd. If all else fails, find a job that pays a ton of money - that will attract a certain kind of woman.
    The tragedy of it is - I have a job that pays a ton of money. There's even a certain amount of glamour involved.
    And yet I can't get a woman to even pretend to like me. Must be my breath. :?
    Either that, or it could be that when I sing I sound like Denis Leary after an all-nighter. :shock:

    Have you tried mail order brides? You pretty much get a couple years of pretending out of them at least until they get their American citizenship. If you are lucky, you might actually get a woman grateful enough to stay with you, or even better, a woman who actually loves you.

    That suggestion is not a joke, either. I know some guys around here that have mail order brides from overseas. Some of those marriages work out, some don't. But even the guys where the marriage did not work out at least had some good times before they split. And the guys with the marriages that are working are very happy. Anyway, it's something to consider. It does work for some people.

    They sometimes do work out...I know a guy, 50-ish, bald, outta shape, not that good lookin'...I mean, he's a really good guy n all, but his Russian wife is just a number. And he's been married to her for 10 years. :shock:
    I've actually considered it. No joke. I haven't actually done it yet, 'cuz I don't really feel like setting myself up for heartbreak. Not to mention the money thing...I've been told that suggesting a pre-nup to a Russian woman is like spitting on her. It's too non-traditional; they won't even talk about it.
    So...good an idea as it sounds, I haven't gone there yet either...

    Whatever. The day my ego is bigger than my WangChung, I'll start acting like that. :roll: Otherwise, I think it's important to have a little humility. If I thought I was better than anyone else, I'd be worse - just for that.

    I can understand that, but it sounds like you are already in the heartbreak mode. Just remember, life happens whether or not we make any decisions. Whatever you decide, I wish you the best.

    you doin right shredd. no one wants to hear someone tell you how good they are. ive always responded to the question \"you play guitar? how good are you?\" with \"you tell me\" but when you can really rip no one will want to hear how you think you suck, just say im OK... or im alright.... cuz puttin yourself down is more obnixious than humble
