LOL! Add 7 years, gray moustache, over 6', used to be blonde but it got a lot lighter, and oh yeah...married 46 years...long enough to feel I was born married with a kid.

Who is Teddy Baldassare? Successful online high end watch dealer out of Cleveland...yes, Cleveland. This popped up when I was watching one of his watch reviews. Kind of weird she's his girlfriend, because although he knows a lot about watches, I had the impression he, er, didn't like girls. Obviously, I was wrong about that.

Here's one of his reviews:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imjPxLi9z8Y

Sort of became an interesting subject to me, with the watch threads here. Nope...haven't bought any luxury watch...just not for me. But I did find it an interesting marketing subject...things like watches selling for $500 having the same movement as status brands selling for thousand$.

Agreed (to your second point) and further to Steve’s point, all forms of social media (not just Facebook, YouTube, TokTok, Twitter, Instagram and whatever else if the flavour of the month) do this including this forum.

Everyone on social media including here is not an idiot but there are some we disagree with on some topics and we put them in the ‘idiot category’. If we were sitting across a table at a bar instead of at a keyboard, I think we would find far less gaps in what we agree with each other on.

The nice guys are just for "lets just be friends" zone.

I am just so lucky I found a perfect wife over 30 years ago. I don't think I could bother with dating again.
Sure agree with this...you see 'em all over, single moms who went for the bad boy...they now wondering why all the nice guys are married...

My business partner is reasonably fit, totally bald, and a funny man. He is single, and will remain that way. Unless a HOT billionaire lady that owns a liquor store, and an exotic car dealership and gun store finds him, he will keep fishing in the sea of ladies.

There are a couple of bars he tells me about that are the "cougar" hangouts. He loves to go cougar hunting. Any male that drives a decent car, lives in a nice house, and is reasonable fit has it easy he says. He can pick up a cougar with ease. The ratio of single women looking for a man at 55 and up is high.

First paragraph is funny. As for “cougars,” if you like them old and single, the odds are good but the goods are odd, as the old saying goes. Most of them are women I wasn’t into when they were young.

It’s kind of like a house that looks good but hasn’t sold for a really long time, even thought it looks good on the surface, you know there’s something way wrong if someone else hasn’t snapped it up by now.

But that may be a match made in heaven. If the guy is older and single....

A good friend of mine, good looking older gent in his late 60's, would agree: We've talked about it, the difference between a bed warmer and a relationship, JV and Varsity.

He will also tell you that, according to some of the bed warmers, the men occupying the pool of available fellas are not exactly Olympic Swimmers.

Perspectives are like tracers.

He does also say that you learn where to shop...both sides do.

Oh absolutely. What I said isn’t only applicable to the women in that equation. 🤣

Totally useless factoids below........

The woman with Louie CK is Dr Smith on the fairly recent Netflix Lost in Space series.

I have seen paparazzi pics of them hanging out together in NYC.

But what you say above is absolutely correct. Anyone can make a video and put it on the net, whether that's youtube, tiktok or whatever. And all of those folks present what they say as fact. And a lot of those facts are absolutely not correct, accurate or factual.

All true. I'll spend 8 hours making a video that might teach you something and my best has 8K views in months. How the f can someone like that get 350K views since June?

I've all but quit because it is mostly kiddy BS. I'm not sure there's a place for intelligent adults on this planet.

I was all set to criticise her, but I think she is completely right.

However... a friend of mine Michael Monty, no oil painting as they say LOL, but has a HUGE fun happy personality, and women hurl themselves at him. So I think that works well.
