Maybe my problem is that I've been taken for a long time (hint: I'm not
the OP).

What type of young single engineer can afford a house in the Chicago
suburbs? Only one that has income/wealth from another source.

I've had a library card since I was 9. But girls never notice me. I'm
reading technical books not romance novels. I've read a few of their
romance novels. If that's what the average woman is looking for, she's
going to be downright unhappy most of her life.

Hell, I went back to college once when I was 30. I was too serious and
busy at both ends, i.e. taking 13 hours of courses and 32 hours/week of
work. I met some nice girls but they were more interested in guys their
own age. I have danced with the homecoming queen, and if she hadn't moved
to Springfield, I might have dated her. . . .

I lived in the City from 1997-2001. Didn't help, either.

I've decided I'm no prize. I think for my 50th birthday, I'm going to
become a registered misogynist and start campaigning for the repeal of the
19th amendment. . . .

342 days to go. . . .

Shoot, the idiot that owns this apartment building is converting it into
condos and he thinks he's going to make a ton in a down real-estate market.

Even though the market is down, he probably will still make a ton, just
not as much as he would have a year ago. The monthly payment on the
condos, including the association fees will probably still be 2.5x-3x
what the rent is now.

We just stopped 517 more condos in my town, but it took signature
gathering for a referendum, a court battle when the developers tried to
keep the referendum off the ballot, and then an expensive (for us)
campaign to fight the lies of the developers.

Women over 25 to about 35 are where you want to look. The young ones
want the 'hot' guy with no consideration that he might be a Forrest Gump
or just an asshole. Slightly more experienced ones have been there and
don't want to do that again. The intelligent ones that is. My own
daughter is 27 and still looks for the 'hot' guy, only to find out he is
as good as brain dead to her, or a complete jerk. At least she doesn't
have to worry about the abusive types since she is 5'8" and a kick boxer
plus knows a lot of Air force guys and their wives.
Anyway, ignore the young hotties, because they don't have it together.
Old enough to know.
