He was a retired painter that had never left his hometown and was in his late 70s (with some equally unaccomplished kids and grandkids). The only TV he watched was the RFD channel and raised a few chickens for eggs. He was quite unaccomplished and really not well informed...although seemed a fairly decent guy. Not even much of a physical specimen (about 5'5" and 120 lbs). Once married, he did not last long.

Yet it would seem there are plenty of women more than happy to live alone, in fact crow about it incessantly.......

Hey guys, you know Teddy Baldasarre, that luxury watch dealer who sells out of Cleveland? Here's his girlfriend giving dating advice. I'd say you should heed her well, although it's extremely doubtful she'd give any of the single guys here more than a glance...

Here's Teddy giving her a watch:

Odd couple? When I first found Teddy on youtube when trying to figure out why some here are so addicted to wearing $thousands on their wrists, I made the mistaken assumption that he didn't like girls much. Boy was I wrong about that!

NEVER EVER take dating advise from a woman. Women (typically) don't understand men and will only view things from the female imperative. They don't understand male mating strategies simply because they don't need to. Its the man who has a biological need to understand female nature, since he's the one pursuing. All the woman needs to do for the most part is exist and men will pursue.

The next reason is that women often don't know what they want. They'll claim to want a nice, caring, man who they can connect with emotionally but than hook up with the bad boy who treats them like crap. He treats them like crap because he has options and women are ultimately attracted to men with options, so never ever ever take dating advise from a woman.

Times and situations change, so do personal inspiration and goals, memories build up, boredom and routine sets in, new stimuli beckons and tempts.

I don't think anyone can be trusted to really 'know what they want' from the get-go.
That's life. We adapt and improvise, or move on.
