nickt1862,
Son you are suffering from eastern female sticker shock and to cure it you need a massive dose of lonely western female attention. My suggestion would be for you to get on interstate 80 west before the gas prices go higher to support Jr. Bush's reelection campaign and go west until you reach Laramie, WY. Purchase a used 25 to 30 foot travel trailer for $2500 or less and a 50 dollar electric radiator heater at Wall-mart and move into the KOA campground for $200 dollars a month from Sept.- May and 300 dollars a month thru the summer toristo season. Get a job at the University or in town. Take a few courses at the University and go to different churches on Saturday and Sunday, coffee and tea houses during the week days and early evenings and bars late at night. This is the land where women hunt men. The land where women work and men fish, hunt and maintain all the recreational family vehicles.
I have heard Fort Smith, AK is great if you are seeking a domestic female pet that passes for human just scratchem behind the ear and feedem passes for common law marriage in Arkansas. I was working west of Fort Worth, TX in White Settlement and doing my laundry on a Sunday morning and I met this 24 year old gal from Fort Smith, AK and she could not tell me if Fort Smith was in Oklahoma or Texas. Having lived there her entire life. She assured me her husban new where they were and from. She was not a dumb person just lacked any education. My landlord a good old boy from Oklahoma told me women lose 20 points of IQ when they cross the line into Texas. So if you have a gal who is almost perfect take her to Texas and lose those 20 points and she will be perfect.
I have known New Yorkers do well at the Fort Worth Cattle yards, they buy a cowboy hat and boots with a big silver and gold longhorn belt buckle wear this with a plaid shirt and blue geans and hit the dance halls and dance the nights away. Two weeks or less you will be the true love is some lonely grateful womens life.
There is always southwest Virginia, scoot down 81 to Abington, 17 miles north of the Tennessee line. Go to the largest Baptist church and announce your arrival, if you are still unattached in a week you ain't breathing.
You ain't lived until you go west where the women open the door for the homeliest of men. It still catches me by surprise when I am out west and some well proprotion gal takes a moment from her busy day to step up and open a door for me and I ain't what you'd call easy to look at. When you are stranded by the road side with a flat tire waiting for triple "A" and a lean blonde small bone gal stops her pickup truck and offers to put on your spare.
There are small towns in West Kansas where they trap truckers. Just pretend lost memory and some gal will lay claim to you as her run away man. Instant life and generally some family.
The far west is full of small communities looking for men from anywhere else which passes for interesting and exciting. The only advice is once your dream queen selects you move her far away from family and friends, that is to the next town or county.
I guess you have been to Long Island, NY but have you tried Long Island, KS? Never ever get involved with Connecticut women or you may end up marrying a man.
I hope you enjoy this advice half as much as I enjoyed writing it. I believe it has a lot to do with expectations and opportunities. When you show up in areas of this great country that has neither it is a working mans paradise. In a community where the highest priced meal in county is less than 20 bucks and that includes the alcoholic beverages. The finest house wine comes from a box. The newspaper is printed once a week and nothing distracts the wifes attention from you, your every wish and your satelight TV connection except the occassional phone call. They do say to much of a womens attention is a bad thing to so watch out what you wish for, if it becomes a problem just move back to New Jersey where opportunity is everywhere and she meets other women with expectations and that problem will resolve itself and likely she will dump you. Then you may realize just how well off and happy you were.
Sincerely - Ray
