It's as if being in marriages/relationships is inbuilt into their personality and DNA whilst with other people, myself included, I could quite conceivably be single for 300 years and this soulmate never turns up no matter how many pubs or public places you walk into, statistically there probably is 'someone for everybody' but that's no use if they're living in Chile or New Zealand and you're never going to meet them!

It was like taking off a pair of shoes that were two sizes too small - that freedom. In the pub most Friday and Saturday nights, sinking the pints, up to me conkers in clunge most weekends. My ideal relationship started around 2.30am in the morning, and finished the next morning by 11.30 at the latest. I suppose it helps that I'm relatively attractive for my age, and extremely outgoing almost to the point of arrogance. Chicks tend to like me. I think I'm looking for something a bit more permanent at this stage. My preference is for birds in their mid to late 30's, maybe 41 to 42 max. But that's a dangerous game to be playing, as the biological alarm clock is very loud in most of them. I'm 54 and the thoughts of becoming a father again fill me with horror - 2 of the bastards is more than enough. Might get the snip just to be sure.

But you're in a relationship or marriage as far as I know? Which makes your posts kinda strange. I mean yes there are certainly awful inequalities against men in family law (And elsewhere) but it seems to be very personal for you Depends. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. A person's own perspective isn't always the one everyone has. You most certainly have not.

Women on the other hand miss the boat after 35 childbirth is dangerous and the woman is actually referred to as a geriatric mother.
