Thanks for the tip. :salut:

Teeth are intact (well, I do have an implant, but no-one would be able to tell).

But, most of the chicks are the laundry mat are washing their family's clothes. I guess I'll have to pay more attention to what they're washing. If I don't creep her out, then that would be a good sign.

Well, it's up to him, and he seems to like Penny.


Not a very good comparison because Priya is very cute and attractive.
But how about Penny vs Amy Farrah Fowler, Ph.D? Which would men choose between these two?

I'd take it for granted that one shouldn't preferably date a person with no goals in their life, a man or a woman.

It seems to be a turn off for many men though, if a woman is better educated or has higher salary :? Also, a lot of men hoping to start a family can see an ambitious career woman as an unattractive choice.

That would make for an interesting poll.

Penny obviously wears the pants (metaphorically speaking) in her relationship with Leonard.

The ambitious career woman may be more difficult to get along with. Or, maybe not. She shouldn't necessarily be written off. The most important thing is compatibility. If you're compatible, and she is an ambitious career woman, then fine.

I'd say it's not a good comparison because they are fictional and making judgments about human nature based on them is likely to leave you super out of touch with actual reality.

It's like judging every powerful woman in the context of the Devil Wears Prada...........

That's how I felt as well.

SAYS YOU, the people who always say 'it isn't a deal breaker'. By the time I need to know 'isn't a deal breaker', I'll be hearing it from my wife about something fun!

I definitely prefer it if a man recognises my achievements (as pathetic as they are) and isn't threatened by them. Then again, most of my successes aren't career/financial based - I'd prefer to live on a smaller wage but have time for my family and friends than spend all my time working for a huge wage. Most of my personal goals though aren't career-orientated, I just want to be good at what I do, have a family of my own, and be seen as a good person who people look up to.

That being said, I understand the importance of having your own car (or form of transportation), having a job and either living away from home or contributing financially to the household expenses. Mainly because I know how hard it is to do these things alone.

Many women who go to a lot of effort to be successful in their careers often find themselves beyond the age when many man would pick them.

You don't see a whole lot of similarly successful women getting much arm candy in their old age.

I'm sure some of them have enjoyed the marvels of modern medicine,men are also doing that more now.Now there are ads for men's lotions and moisturizers. Women are more likely to use sunscreen on their faces.I've seen other women slathering it on but not the guys.
My ex never used sunscreen, got exposed to it all the time.He wrinkled up really bad once he got about 50.His sister has the same coloring but has a beauty regime,she looks ten years younger than him.They are two years apart.
