Guess you found the meaning of life............

seems that the wonderful basic wisdom of the old songs said it all, living alone or living in a group, love is the answer, someone to love is the answer, who do you love?........

I think it takes a strong personality to be able to live alone on a permanent basis and to resist the temptation to bring in someone, anyone, just for someone to talk to and to eat something different again...having someone to call every day and using the radio and audio books as your friend is good idea....for sure living alone is better than living with the wrong person, even if they are a good cook... .....

Very interesting replies........for myself, I can't say I have no regrets, indeed I believe regretting that I acted like a jerk at some point in my life, and hurt someone as a result , must surely be a positive thing, if it means I've learnt that being a jerk makes me uphappy....so, instead of justifying my actions I take responsibility for them, I cannot act the same way again...if ever a similar situation should arise ..........

A famous old song insists ' I regret nothing'

Is it possible to live your life without any regret for things said or left unsaid or done or not done?

The advantages are things being able to listen to your favourite music anytime, going to bed when you want, always getting to watch what you choose to watch on TV, eating what you like.....:)

the disadvantages are having to eat the same thing day in day out...if I ever open a restaurant it will have one very short menu... coming home to find 3 days washing up still waiting in exactly the position you left it...:(

Well, the end of the human race would certainly solve the overpopulation 'problem'

Quite right, the problem is reproduction, we were all born of a female impregnated by a male...if enough people go trans or homosexual, then humans die out, it's not rocket salald

Few achieve wisdom enough to realise how little they know.....( don't bug me, the quote is ancient Chinese, they used an 's' not a 'z'.)

So, the older the wifey gets, the less likely the hubby is to leave her? now that's romantic

A recent survey suggested that Archaeologists tend to have the most long lasting relationships of all professionals, why should this be?

I saw Joan Collins on TV a few days ago. As always she looked as if she had just spent 8 hours in the makeup room.......everyone was compelled to tell her how great she looked of course, but probably secretly wondered what she really looks like. Another beautiful English actress and Bond Girl from the same era is Honor Blackman, a lady who has gone from looking like a beautiful young lady, to looking like a beautiful old lady. The wrinkles on her face don't detract from her natural beauty, and her china blue eyes still have that effect on an old geezer. I like Joan very much as a person, she's a real character, but, if these two ladies ever turn up at my door with an invitation to sail down to Rio with just one of them, I know which of the two I would choose.

My last message went in the wrong place, this may well be a silly question, a bit like asking who best understands the French, but I really enjoyed the many very clever and entertaining replies posted,

Well, ask a silly question

Just what is this question trying to infer?

You are correct of course, the question was never meant to be taken seriously.
All human beings are unique, so someone who talks of 'women' as though they were referring to a single person, or 'men' likewise, is simply being silly.

Some women are just as sexist in this regard as some men are.

Really,? well,I can't see why, I don't see myself having any special knowledge or skill. As for the old Casanova 'ART' of seduction stuff, a bunch of red roses will help, but ONLY if the lady wants you in the first place, if she's not interested, then save ur dough.

So, who understands women best, family, friends, the shrink, the hairdresser,other women, soap opera writers, no one ? OR, could it just be men?

Peggy, did you really say 'wooing process'?


Where was I? Sorry, you brought an old flame to mind. I seem to have met only women who were direct and to the point.
