    I got friends that are in the "daddy gave me a farmhouse" category, and they still moan about having to pay general household bills:rolleyes2

    The chances of me having anything to do with a 20-something women now are slim.

    Far more likely the 20 something womans' divorced mum:rotfl:.

    Isn't that better? Particularly if she [strike]fleeced [/strike] .. cough.. managed to get [strike]the entire house [/strike] some of the equity of the property both her and her ex jointly made a home and brought up children in. Least she won't want to marry you for your money she will just want to spend if for you. :D
    I'm not cynical I'm realistic :p

    I'm rapidly approaching 40, which means my requirements aren't what they were when I wasn't rapidly approaching 40:)

    I'm less concerned about all the other malarky, someone who's good company and able of holding a decent stimulating conversation is now far higher up the list than "Other" assets:)

    I might have to get myself togged up with a suit from those guys Alan suggested & start attending Adam Smith Institute doos. After all it's acceptable to be a tree-hugger in today's Tory party innit?
    "Mrs. Pench, you've won the car contest, would you like a triumph spitfire or 3000 in cash?" He smiled.
    Mrs. Pench took the money. "What will you do with it all? Not that it's any of my business," he giggled.

    Wish I knew some twentysomething women like that! I find they are the exact opposite.

    Don't they say though that the ideal aged woman for any man is to divide his age by 2 and add 8? That means at 40 your ideal aged woman is 28 - so still a 20-something!

    nah, 30 something is a better idea, I don't want to be going to nightclubs and such. I never quite saw the attraction of someone much younger, just a right bloody nuisance most of the time.:)

    Someone with a bit of life experience under there belt is far more stimulating;)
  • If someone won't go near you because you're a renter you've obviously not bought them enough drinks!! :beer:

    Only joking, my girlfriend and I have nothing now and we will have even less when my house is built so we can carry on having nothing for the next 60 years!!! :money:

    If I was single and a girl asked me if I own a house or if I have a car I'd really want to tip my drink over their head (wouldn't go through with it though, I'm a tight git!)
