I was at a party on Saturday in which one guy was unfortunate enough to fall asleep on the couch.

I do wonder how mad he was the next morning to see that his face had been drawn all over with a sharpie.

Never ever fall asleep at a party.

The solution is simple ... remove men from the work force.

That depends. Do you have any baggage? (how did this thread get so derailed, BTW?) I am an equal-opportunity dater, and in fact, seem to have an affinity for men traveling light and rethinking their careers...

I try to pack light ... though I tend to bring an extra set of clothes, just in case.

Taxes are not germane. It is wages (pre-tax) which have failed to keep pace with the cost of living.

This is due, in part, to expanded labor supply from women, and, in part, to dislocations from policies such as affirmative action.

It is also due to excessive incarceration rates for men, technological changes in the economy, and labor increasingly having to compete against lower cost production locations.

Actually, a more-pregressive income tax would support restoring middle-class standards of living, as the ultra-high-end earners have gained from these structural changes.
I knew I was out of my league with my post.

When you are older and dating you will have some. Those of us who are divorced have all been through some sort of emotional turmoil. How much do you put up with in a dating partner? Do you feel they must have it all together or are you willing to work with them on issues?
Well, considering that everyone has it, it just depends on what it is and why.

I think the notion of having it "all together" defies being human. Now, I have to tell you that I am not interested in being a guys "therapist", but if I love him and am committed to him generally speaking he can be sure that I will be there for him as he rises from the dust.

People that have "no baggage" probably haven't lived much life or taken many risks, which is an extremely unattractive characteristic to me. But yeah, like I said, I think its pretty much a myth that people have none.

Huge plus if he has a sense of humor about it (his baggage).

Lizzie Pooh, I don't see why you think that. When you expound on emotional issues, do you think he is less flummoxed?

I don't put up with any. Everyone has baggage, but it's unfair to expect someone you've just met to carry your baggage. Leave your baggage from past relationships where it belongs: in the past. Otherwise, you will sabotage your new, budding relationship
