LOL, FWIW, I do find the before/after pics of the lions histerical.
Love being married. I think my situation is a bit different than most people though.
As for raising someone else's children I would never do it. I dated lots of women with children from other relationships and I was dating them for one thing and one thing only. I would never marry someone who already has children unless they were grown and out of the house. It make me want to stay healthy as I don't want anyone else raising my daughter.
Renee and I get along very well and don't argue at all, in fact we have lots of fun. She puts no demands on me and I put none on her. We share everything without forcing each other to do so. If there is one "insert food item" left and it's 11 at night I will be more happy to see her have it then to eat it myself. If I tell her I am having a bad day she says what can I do to take some stress off you? If I have been out all day and call her on the way home to let her know I am coming she will fill the Jacuzzi for me and have it ready when I get here. She know me backwards and forwards and I know her the same way. We have lots of fun together.
Her parents have been together for ~40 years. I get along great with mother and father. She gets along great with my mother. Renee is like have a best friend. We have a lot of fun together.
BINGO Dave!
I have been married and I am currently single. I really prefer to be single, but that's just me. I date a fair number of women and I prefer that type of lifestyle. I have no desire for a long term relationship or marriage. To be really honest, I date a lot of extremely good looking women that are much younger than me. I find it interesting that I get a lot of nasty looks from younger guys and older women.
Here is how and why I've come to this conclusion...
When I was going through my protracted divorce (over two years with no children, only money and material things), I asked my attorney if I could date. She said of course I could. Well my first date was a blind date so I arranged to meet at Starbucks for just a cup of coffee in case she didn't like me, or I didn't like her. Worst thing that could happen is we have a cup of coffee. Ten minutes and we're out of there.
Pull up in the NSX. She comes out of Starbucks and starts asking me all types of questions about the car. No, not performance, more like costs. She ends up at my house and then starts asking about my art collection. No, not the artists, the costs. Thought she was going to put on a green plastic visor and pull out a calculator.
Another chick I saw for two dates called me and asked if I could buy her a car.
So I am sitting in my family room telling my buddies about this. My one buddy said, "You know what. You're not a bad looking guy. You've lived all around the world. You can tell some great stories and you're pretty sophisticated when you want to be. You have a fair amount of money and are able to live the life you want. So, that being said, you will never know if a woman wants to be with you because of what you can provide her, or because she wants to be with you."
Well, my response was, "That's a bummer."
To which my other buddy (a Prime member) said, "If you're having a good time, who cares?"
So...that's me.
Life is wonderful.

. It's probably my fault as I don't wear my wedding ring as I don't like jewelery.
Really the key IMO is act like you could not care any less and they will come running in droves. But at the same time keep their interest. Don't give a lot of information out, keep them waiting. And don't drive the NSX on the first date. Never leave money laying around if you bring home a stripper either.:wink:
Both my mother and father are on their third respective marriages. You could argue that I grew up a bit jaded about the institution of marriage.
But I've been very happily married for 6.5 years now. Is it always perfect? Nope. But I consider myself truly blessed in my marriage and can honestly say that for me, it has been the best decision of my life.

Hmm not sure how happy they're going to be about this, but whatever.
I have been divorced for 10 years.....but the pool of women that I would think about marring is very small.
