Yep, looks just like vintage Kevin.  So I'll repeat what I said
then:  You need *regular* counseling from a *professional*.
In my experience, and contrary to the trends in most services,
cheaper is better.  Counselors with MSWs cost the least, but are
usually the easiest to find, talk with, and get real help from.  MDs
(psychiatrists), by contrast, tend to be the most expensive, remote,
and imperious, although they can prescribe drugs.  Anyway, whatever
floats your boat.  And dude, your boat is hard aground.

If you can afford it.  If you can squeeze both that 'Stang and
therapy into your very modest budget, more power (so to speak) to
you.  If you can't, sell the car.  Seriously.  You need help a
lot more than a hot car.  Get yourself, oh, a 3 or 4 year old MR2
instead.  No, it's not as fast nor as flashy, but it's a lot more
precise at its limits.  Or if the car really has to be a metaphor
for the unpredictable life of your dreams, make it an old Alfa.

Fred! You forgot the context. Kevin needs to find a way that will get
him a woman. Who cares if he is called a smart alec in the process? Given
your complaints on the net, your advice hasn't worked for you.

Hmm....if you talk about your intellect, you are called a smart alec. If you

It doesn't make *that much* difference to most women.  There are a few
who are only interested in men with a lot of money (so why haven't any
of them latched onto me yet? :-), most want someone with reasonable
resources (which you qualify for), and some don't care.

Well yeah, in today's world ... but I was talking about what's

I don't think Ayla of the Mammotoi and her people did much with
either adoption proceedings OR incubators.  Our species is recent to
this planet, considering it's age.

well, i can't say i've seen the stats that suggest what you say. also, i have

Well let's keep this within the several hundred of us, but I wasn't
complaining.  I was most definitely certainly without-a-doubt bragging.
Maybe I'm an anomaly, but I love my lifestyle.  I love it because I don't
*have* to make any desperate moves that could be way wrong.  I don't *have*
to depend on my good looks to land a wallet.  I don't *have* to sit in
a smokey bar every evening hanging out with women named "Faye" and guys
named "Useless" waiting for Mr. Take-you-away-from-all-this to stop in
and ask directions.

I can watch a movie on cable until the birds sing if I want to.  I can
rip up the patio and put in a deck if I want to.  I can wash the bathroom
floor with toilet paper and spit if I want to.  I can leave a half-made
afghan laid out on the kitchen table for days if I want to.  I can basically
go where I want, do what I want, raise my kid the way I want, and live my
life the way I damn well want.

And if I decide to share this life with someone and concede to the
necessary sacrifices and advantages, it's going to be someone with my
same karma.  I will be nobody's meal ticket.

Well, almost.  I want to avoid the friendship stuff when it's the only
thing that's happening.  If it happens in conjunction with a romance,
that's cool.

But if the friendship is the only thing that's happening, it won't be
too long before a romance becomes close to impossible.

For the purposes of starting a romance, friendship by itself is a deadly
thing, or so it seems.

Maybe I'm missing something here.  I've *been* desperate a few times,
but I've never gotten into a relationship with someone who definitely
wasn't worth it.  Mind explaining why you think desperation equates to
willingness to grab *anyone*?

I can definitely state from personal experience that the 
grass *is* greener on the other side.  I am a caucasian
male, who dated and ended up marrying an asian female.
She happens to be of Phillipine background, and she has
been priceless.  I recently moved to California, and there
is a great preponderance of Caucasian male/Asian female
relationships.  I wasn't searching for that; I just happened
into it, and I can say it has been wonderful.  However, I have
also been exposed to a great number of exotic females in this
area.  They are various mixtures of mexican, asian, and American
ethnicities.  Because of the abundance of the various cultural
peoples in CA, there is a lot of mixed dating going on.  The 
resulting off-spring has come to be known as the "Californio"
ethnic group.  There are just so many mixtures out here.  I'll 
tell ya' though, there are some beautiful babes out here!!!

I was once getting mussels at the supermarket, and the cashier asked,
"How do you cook those?"  I invited her to come over and find out.
The supermarket was a block away from my place.  We spent a number of
her lunch breaks together; never did get around to lunch, though...  :-)

Oh for heaven's sake!!  A loooooooong time ago, Disneyland used to sell
separate tickets for the rides.  When you entered the park you could buy
a ticket book that had tickets in them marked A - E ... A being the "baby
rides" and E for the BEST rides.  Of course, there were never enough E
tickets and you ended up always with a whole bunch of A,B, and C's and 
then you'd have to buy separate E tickets if you wanted more which everybody
always did.  Hence the phrase "It's an 'E' ticket ride" ... usually in
reference to sex, of course.  

Yeah, so *what* if I remember what an 'E' ticket is for?  Like fine wine,
true babes improve with age.  Right, guys?
