In Response to Lonely 'Bald Eagle': Hi Dipak ~ Is the lonely bald eagle a symbol of Larry? Why didn't you show us single girls a picture of him? LOL! HowI about Bill? Maybe a little strict military discipline is just the ticket for some of the ladies...need a little help to stay with the exercise and gym routine to stay "buff" as they say? They may be more attractive to some of the ladies than you think...you're just looking at it from a man's perspective. I sort of think these guys like the freedom of being bachelors...what do you say? I wouldn't allow Big Al's comments about having grey hair get to me. As they say, "snow on the roof doesn't mean there's no fire in the furnace!" LOL! You can always dye your hair, but Big Al would have to join the "Hair Club for Men!" My late husband was prematurely grey and his hair was a very attractive feature. Many women love grey/white hair. It looks "distinguished," while bald looks, well, BALD! LOL! As for Larry, some women enjoy cooking...as I do. I enjoy fine dining as well! I only do a little cleaning...I do have help for that! I enjoy going for walks with my dogs...I enjoy it even more when my partner goes with me! Has Larry ever considered that? No one has to go to the Ukraine/Russia unless it's to vacation! You "lonely boys" are just not being creative in your thinking! You get the best fish when you use the highest quality bait! Um-hmm! If he is really "loaded," he should have no trouble attracting a good woman. I'm not looking for a guy who is loaded. I am comfortable and expect to pay my own way...if I can only sell my home...which is too big for me. I do not wish to enter into another marriage unless someone can give me a very good argument as to why it will be to my benefit. There are many women like me out there. "Open your eyes!" Lonely Boys!!!...there's a world of good, quality women out there looking for a "quality man!" You have set your sights too low and are too inflexible to attract them. Loosen up! Think about the "bait" you are using to attract women. If you are unwilling to change, there are going to be fewer women in the "crosshairs" for you! Lighten up! There are a lot of women who are not "golddiggers" and want to meet you halfway! Get up! Stop feeling sorry for yourselves and drowning your sorrows in the lounge. Invite a nice, quality woman to dinner, have a nice bottle of wine and let the conversation go where it will. You will find a compatible partner in no time and with little effort. If you cling to your old habits and customs...they will not want to see you again. Be creative, listen, smile a lot and don't force the "intimacy" issue too soon. They will think you are "enlightened and evolved." They will be much more malleable and amenable if you do...good luck to all! Mimi in VAThis is a sad story o f a bald Eagle near our first tee box. As usual I was practicing some bad shots at the driving range When I saw 2 eagles in very romantic courting behaviour when a third one joined the chase and was quickly rebuffed by the female and the other suitor. Then the vanqiushed came down and perched on the branch of a pine tree. I felt the sorrow of this guy and would have invited him to our lounge and offer a drink but I believe he was not in the mood. This is what is happening to the 'lonely boys'. My trip to LasVegas was partly for scouiting for the guys but I found none of the girls were upto coooking 3 meals, cleaning the house and walking the dog for Larry. I would not dare have 'Bill' in the pictures with his very strict military disciplines. And for me 'Big Al' declared loudly that I have too much gray hairs. Well I could have told him that he does not much hair at all. But I decided to stay aloof and not to get iny relationship to hurt some body. 'Gray hairs' Ha well I have accepted that fact.. Well Lary piped up how about going to Ukraine. He learnt that that in Russia and Ukraine most of the girls above 40 are left on the shelf and are willing to come here with marriage Visa. A 'mail order bride' I nearly choked on my drink. I said 'You can't be serious'. Larry roared 'they will cook,clean & walk the dog'. Well some how I stalled him but I had to explain the other side of it Well ladies here is your chance. A really nice guy, a retired engineer and really loaded. He is little bald but I shall throw in a 'toupe'. But downside is cooking,cleaning and walking a big matt. Posted by KAKARI |

In Response to Re: Lonely 'Bald Eagle': PS: Dipak...you should use the "Lonely Bald Eagle as your new avatar! He has white hair just like you. He's stately, noble and commands respect. Do like I did and change your screen name to something a little more understandable in this country...like "NobleAvian" or something like that. It will increase the mystery and make more ladies curious to find out more about you. Sorry Las Vegas wasn't exactly what you might have wanted. I'll bet, in hindsight, you can think of many fun moments and crazy stories. I'll bet you are going to tell them at the 19th hole...and enjoy the peals of laughter you elicit when you tell each one of your adventures. Don't worry about the "Lonely Boys." They are big enough to take care of themselves. You should worry about your own future and the way you want it to unfold. Take some time to think about it. Your life has changed drastically...you are no longer the young hot-shot who commanded attention. It happens to all of us. We re-assess our lives, change the things we need to and adjust our attitudes to the "New Reality" we now own. Life changes...we change...so what? The later years can be the best! We just need to focus on all of the new opportunities and adventures available, laugh at our foibles and move on. Taking a time-out and lying low won't get you there any faster, but you may need it so that you can reflect and re-group. It can be a valuable exercise in self-evaluation and moving forward. I highly recommend it. We change with the seasons of our lives or we stay stuck in the mire we create in our own minds. Just my opinion, but offered with great sincerity to a friend. ~ Posted by scrborofaire |
