let these words never cross your lips "Let me tell you why a terrific gal like you is still single...." Because that terrific gal is then likely to explain in dark and visceral detail what happened to the last gentleman who uttered those very words—and, trust me, you really don't want to know." heh

Never ask why you are single or dark stories from the past will reemerge

I have a better one: "There are younger and cuter women than you...."

Never ask why you are single or dark stories from the past will reemerge I am not sure I completely understand it myself....and was looking for insight. I interpreted it to mean that the dark stories of the past included a bit of a sharp tongued rebuke.....that preceding gentleman had endured.

My favorite one.... "you sure are beautiful for a woman your age" I know - so annoying - my unspoken responses usually range from "wish I could say the same for you" to "either someone is beautiful or not - period" honestly tho pixie - if a man does say some thing like that I would consider him too focused on age as a criterion for me to be interested in him

I have a better one: "There are younger and cuter women than you...." so true the lament of life - there is always going to be someone younger, prettier, handsomer...more athletic, more musical on and on ad infinitum so I opt to look for a good connection and restaurant coupons (edit: BTW that is actually a pretty fresh potato there)

Hehehe......I actually used this one during a nasty break up........ "Statistically, at your age....you got better odds of being killed in a terrorist attack than ever having a man ask you to marry him."

"Statistically, at your age....you got better odds of being killed in a terrorist attack than ever having a man ask you to marry him." I have trouble beleiving that. Men seem to want to be married, and complain about it more. Women dont remarry as often as men do. I agree and the demographics support it - men remarry far more often - whereas I am not sure that marraige is that important to me, personally. It actually scares me a little when men say in their caption or in the first few emails that they are looking for marriage as it translates: "cook & housekeeper" and sounds too controlling - like the tradition of trading control of one's life for the "status" of being married so Krupa may have had that backwards: more like "he" would be more likely to fall off a cliff than to be able to persuade me to marry

Three things never to ask a woman over 40: 1. How old are you? 2. How much do you weigh? 3. Are you going through menopause?
