    No matter how educated someone is—Philip had an MBA as well as Masters Degrees in Mathematics and Finance—there is no way to learn common sense.  You either have it or you don’t.

    We never really grow up. We mature—somewhat—with more education and more responsibilities. But in matters of the heart?  Zip. Nada. Nope. It’s really pathetic because seniors should know better.

  • Why The Smiley Face?

    Receiving and reading comments on a dating site would be great fodder for a psychotherapist. What are the respondents really saying?  Is there a hidden message or a suggestion?  I checked out the profile of a guy who sent me a smiley face. He had one candid shot on his page. It was a casual selfie. His…
