I think that is the problem. The ones that are single saw your post on how you finagled your way to free burgers and beers at a fair and figured maybe you were like their last wife (or in my case, like my second wife...which is offensive I know, I and I am sending you a thousand apologies for even referring to you as being like her...shudder...shudder again). Of course the single firewood guys I know of live quite secluded wives; jaded by former wives or lovers, their whiskers down to their knees, live in one room shacks way out in the woods and don't communicate by computer, or much in the way of any communication and primarily like being known as hermits. Sorry I did not wait for you Scav, but when the ladies here I am available, they come running. It was a whole 54 days between wife #2 and wife 3# (Also known as Katie).
I'm all for free...and don't know where you got the idea I hang around fairs looking for beer, burgers and boyfriends--the hermit in the woods reminds me of the poor stranded Japanese soldiers who even years later didn't know the war was over---no communication---maybe what you're saying is: what we have here is a failure to communicate. Some men you just can't reach....should I sweeten the pot? should I buy the beer and burgers? don't tell me there's not a shred of chivalry left out there...
Oh yes, there is it is just that we are taken. Cook some diner, watch a chick flick like Rambo, Convoy or Die Hard 3 or something, and rub her feet...yes chivalry is still out there, its just maybe you missed this post of mine.
I am very happy for you LT having found the love of your life (albeit after 3 tries) but the men are not all taken as you seem to think--95% of the people HAVE been married by the age 55 but 10% of those are divorced and 7% have lost their partner through death. Percentage wise 1/2 the marriages end in divorce! and on top of that 24% NEVER married (yes this may include the live-ins but that's always unstable--to my advantage again) so your sobering attempts to dampen my enthusiasm fall on deaf ears--maybe this is not the site for partnering up(I think it is) but I believe it has opened some eyes and made a few of those "hermits" think twice about an opportunity that has appeared right at the base of their tree (I said tree not wood)--my EM is available if they can see the "tree" (in this case) instead of the whole "forest"--lighten up ye of little faith this is not rocket science--
Oh Scavenger, you took me wrong! I would never try to dampen your spirits, you have no idea how much hope I love to inspire in people. I was just referring to the majority of people on this web site. What are the stats on that as far as marriage, divorce and in being in committed relationships go? I bet its pretty high. I love your enthusiasm and spirit, its just as after 35 pages... Should I not be wed, well Savanger, I would invite you here, buy you burgers and beer freely though I admit I am VERY frugal and don't drink myself, and would even let you drive my bulldozer and let you run the levers on my Wallenstein. Now that says a lot as I do not allow anyone to do that.
I don't doubt that due to the integrity of FHC it attracts and supports the interests of many stable families (yours included) but it is a statistic like the rest of America and so is harboring its fair share of non-committed individuals regardless of the reason--the fact they are probably of a better caliber attracts me--they just need a little nudge--I'm merely making myself available as I too am FHC material albeit (I like that word) unattached--don't later regret not having taken a stab at this irregular, unconventional and perhaps insane opportunity--thanks to everyone who still is as enthused as the girl on the auction block
Again dodged a bullet --found out a guy who will be known as "treeguy" (with whom I've conversed for a couple weeks and had planned on meeting) has an ugly temper fueled (this time) by a simple misinterpretation of what I said during a phone call--take it out on a tree my friend and leave me well alone--I really didn't want to practice my self-defense--no statistic here thank you--my quest continues...
Interviews, phone calls, messaging, stats, details, profiles, emails---all in the name of possible love but as a wood hoarding simple country girl there has to be and I will continue to seek out any "good man" whose first words to me are NOT....do you think I'm sponge worthy?
