 . . . or even some advice for "ordinary" twenty-/thirtysomethings?  I'm never going to look like any of these girls, I work full-time, and I take classes part-time (online, so I can't even meet anyone at school).  I live in a suburb with no activities (I'm not a bar type), near a large city in which it wouldn't be advisable to stay out late alone.  I can't afford to move and I've been "out of it" so long I basically don't know anyone my own age, romantically or platonically.  There is only one small church of my denomination in the area and I've already met the one guy my age who goes there (and it didn't go anywhere).  Where the heck do you start? 

  

He always picks beautiful but ridiculously high-maintenance, ridiculously picky girls.  How about some advice for people who have already gotten past being hung up on what shoes a guy wears, how much he makes, and his college GPA, and are still lost?  

I was thinking the same thing. What about me? I was married for almost 15 years. I was a stay at home mom and homeschooled my kids. He left in 2000. I have had to change my world to make it and keep a home for us. I would love to have somebody in my life again to enjoy and to be enjoyed by but where do we find them we are 40 or above and may not be barbies? :) It does seem that these types of things are designed for the younger crowd. WHAT ABOUT US DR. PHIL? :)
