    I love possessions - as long as they're bargain possessions ;)

    Miroslav? You've been moving in the wrong circles - people like that are too shallow and not worth spending valuable time on in my opinion.

    I don't spend any time on women any more, kinda given up lol. Too many bad experiences, a case of, where are the good women these days, as I'm sure Women say about Men lol.

    Hope it changes, as Love is more important than money, even if we need a certain amount of money to live on.

    I'm a kind of person who is happy with a roof and food. My entertainment is the TV and the PC, don't drink, smoke or buy magazines etc.

    Brilliant thread! I can identify what many of you are saying. I get a real sense of satisfaction from shopping around to get the best deal on something I need to buy, I didn't used to be this way and was a bit of a spendthrift but I find the frugal way of life more enriching. It's nice to feel I could live on very little if circumstances forced me to. Also, if I do go out for a meal or to the cinema I see it as a real treat and enjoy looking forward to it for ages whereas it was nothing special as I did it so often and routinely.

    Or one might just find you. Probably when you're least expecting it :D

    Seriously, not all women are into possessions. Just this old biddy ;)

    You need your confidencing boosting thats all! First of all don't ever think a woman would be desperate I am sure they would be lucky to have you. You need a serious self-belief makeover thats all.
