Hi Lu! Delighted to hear I'm not the only female posting at the moment! Also glad to hear that you've caught a good one! Best wishes to you two! I've never been so lucky, myself. No one rises to the level of my long-dead Father. As a substitute, I always go for the highest Biological Level male in the room. If they are not the best looking and a rock star, I'm not interested. This has been my lifelong downfall. :) I completely understand that this is a failing on my part - choosing the wrong type - but, emotionally speaking, I can't help it. My solution has been to withdraw from the game. Over the years I've learned that it's best to not play. The alternative being to get the S**t beat out of me on a regular basis. :)
