. . my success at getting women to bed has not been all that bad - apparently I'm not that nice a guy.
The problem I've had with women is that I've attracted independent women who really only want dinner and good sex (and yes, I can find that thing most men can't find), and not a committed relationship.
Unfortunately I didn't achieve the goal of having a Friday, Saturday and Sunday woman until an age when it was no longer a thrill, but rather a bother.
Yes, I've encountered desperate types and rejected them. There's usually a very clear reason why they're desperate.
No, the problem I have these days is simple. To have women you have to meet women. Single women my age simply don't exist. Well, everyone tells me there are zillions of them. When I ask where they are, I'm told "You just have to go out and find them" - in other words, they don't know either.
I see zillions of women too young, and too old out there in the world, but none in my age range that aren't sporting a ring. The single ones must all be huddled in some caffé complaining to each other there are no men.
