Are you ill? This is an excellent sensible post and very true. If a girl likes an intelligent hard working guy - that guy is normally very successful whatever he does. I need a man I can talk to without having to explain everything. The kind off guy I get on with is normally very very clever. I find intelligence sexy.
I see, never realised you were gay Vieste?Mobile Chicane said:
You may say that, but anyone in receipt of serious amounts of money knows that it's a curse and not a blessing.
My landlord is a multi-millionaire, never married, straight and good-looking. Friends are always suggesting that I should 'have a crack'.
No, because while there might be a lower income threshold, there's an upper limit as well. I don't have the resources to keep up with his kind of lifestyle, and I don't want to be paid for.
The very wealthy are surrounded by all manner of liggers and sycophants. That must have a distorting effect on one's moral compass too. In my landlord's case, he has few friends (since he trusts no-one), and is lonely and bitter.
Well you can curse me with as much money as possible and I can GUARUNTEE it'll be gratefully received and an absolute blessing. My landlord is a multi-millionaire, never married, straight and good-looking. Friends are always suggesting that I should 'have a crack'.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The earnings of all my ex men have always been 5-10 times more than mine.
I can't see how 'beauty in the eye of the beholder' and 'the earning of partners has been 5-10 times more' are linked? How is earning potential linked to how they view you? It makes very little sense, IMHO. Either you need to learn to quote better or you're a troll
I wish PH had an ignore button as I have no self restraint!
I'd bet my last £10 that you are!
But I tell you what - meet up with me & win it and from that the assurance that I'll shout down anyone saying anything about you on here! You're local to me (allegedly!) as I'm in Northampton.
Any weekend in May bar the 2nd Bank Holiday, any lunch in Northampton next week or London this Saturday

By my standards, most wealthy, powerful men I know aren't especially intelligent. They're just better at playing a rather narrowly defined field - more often than not at the detriment of everything else including values that are not for sale. Queenbee said:
All my ex's paid for everything.

One of my ex's did not work for three years.
I hope you paid for something then!Queenbee said:

Good call! I doubt Queenbee will accept. Apparently, Queenbee did mention that he/she would attend a few PH meets in the future. This was aimed at me, but I'm not entirely sure how I'd know who he/she was? I still reckon it's a past, possibly banned PHer ... ? What happened to Vieste?But I tell you what - meet up with me & win it and from that the assurance that I'll shout down anyone saying anything about you on here!

On the scale of attention-whoring if nothing else.
Quite possible also, fully agree on the attention whoring side of things.On the scale of attention-whoring if nothing else.
God help me, but I looked at the (rather tragic) 'show us your new shoes' thread, and (s)he'd posted successively with meaningless 'I likes'.

Having been through the whole cancer thing recently, give them some space & time, but continue to offer to be there for them & offer your support.
When they finally get their lives back they will remember who stood by them, offered them support & cared. I know I'm judging my friends on who was & wasn't there for me!
Just be a friend, that's all they have time for at the moment.

Have some faith in people...There's nothing to suggest that either woman is bed hoping.
I fully accept I'm very cynical in these matters. But I think there is plenty to suggest the women are not telling the full story. If I'm in a one month old relationship with someone I've known for years and it's going really well, I'd want that person to share my troubles, be with me when times are hard and start to see that we are a team. I certainly wouldn't stop contacting them or send messages that made it look like the relationship were over. Of course you have to spend time with sick relatives but unless you're a full time carer, I'd look to grow closer to my new partner, not the opposite. And as for still living together but not sharing a bed, again, and I don't want to be harsh, but perhaps the family crisis has bought them back together. If you feel giving a bit of time is the answer, that'd be your privilege but for me, I'd want a bit of a cards on the table so I could move on or not. To not offer an explanation is beyond cowardly, and changes my view entirely of the integrity / emotional maturity of the individual concerned.
I tend to think you should put as much thought into ending a relationship as you do into starting one, but hey, maybe that's just me.
My take on those circumstances where people live together but claim not to share a bed, is that a good 80% are lying. Very few people would be prepared to put up with such a situation, unless it were mutually agreed they were both free to seek sexual relationships with other people.
In this circumstance, she slithered off at 2 AM, rather than enjoy a morning in bed with you. My guess is the husband believes 'she was having a good night out with the girls and lost track of time', rather than 'got banged into the middle of next week by some other bloke'.
Now that the M-i-L's been taken ill, reality has hit home, and she's deciding which side her bread is really buttered on. You haven't been offered an explanation because she's too cowardly to confront even her own feelings on the issue - never mind yours - and feels guilty as Hell.
Perhaps your own experience of platonic marriage has skewed your bullst-ometer in this case. It bears repeating: the 'secret' of relationships is to have them with the right people in the first place.

The paragraph about "80% of people in the situation of living with someone but not sleeping with them" is absolutely spot on; I've been in that position (as the cheated, not the cheater) and I can't believe I was so bloody gullible.
