Don't go there -- at least not until fully recuperated.



Women of that age really don't appeal to me. In fact that's one of my rules:

1. No women over ten years younger than you are, as you will have few shared experiences you both grew up with to talk about.
2. No women over ten years older than you are for the same reason.
3. No women you work with or for or works for you; if things go awry you will still be running into them on a regular basis.
4. No women who live in your close vicinity for the same reason.
5. No women from a markedly different socioeconomic background than yourself, as their world view will be very different from yours.
6. No women whose education level is markedly different than yours, as again you will have little to talk about.
7. No women whose ex-boyfriends were crazy or criminals, that should be a real good clue that there is something odd going on upstairs with them.
8. No women with children, as that adds a great deal of complexity to any relationship.*
9. No women whose finances are in a state of constant chaos, as that indicates that your finances will also end up that way shortly.
10. No women whose family is odd, as the acorn doesn't fall far from the tree.

The key to all these rules is to obey them scrupulously, as if you do that you will soon realize that virtually all the women that you encounter are disqualified by at least one of them, and you can then avoid the cost and complexity of dating and spend your time and money on more worthwhile pursuits- such as studying unbuilt rocket and jet powered aircraft designs of the Third Reich and the mating habits of giant squids. ;-)

W.C. Fields would probably approve of this concept.
