Eva, dud is almost accurate, self-centered beyond redemption, with, *gasp*, a Christian bent.

Why on earth would you continue, then? (Not Christian, but "self-centered beyond redemption" -- blech.)

chris2a, you got that right, about his being the sole navigator in whatever has passed between us so far.

By "a Christian bent"...Do you mean a touch of self-righteousness? Thinks he's slightly superior?

There's your answer right there.

If your gut is telling you something/anything isn't right....it isn't.

Noddy, I don't think they're generic posts-- an interesting thought though. There is, like, no way this guy has got a harem somewhere.

I'm thinking more of Assembly Line Courtship. Egoists assume one size fits all.

After all, he could be a man who wants a harem.

Showing his virility....

Able to climb mountains ....

That's sorta sad.

You know what you have to do....

A younger, more self-assured guy is waiting to nab you.

Whoa whoa whoa there lashy-poo.my husbands 12 years older than me, and you'd never catch him trying to climb a mountain in front of me.he's smart, he'd stay behind me so he could watch MY butt!

Gala, I don't know your age, but since you mentioned an age difference, here is the chai tea approved method for weeding out the duds.

If you meet a younger guy, he might be really great, in that case, he'll be a great guy the rest of his life.

A young guy may also be a real jerk, but it's too soon to tell if he's going to grow out of that. Some actually do.

When a man get to be 40, if he's a jerk, he's always been a jerk and he always will be one, and you don't need to waste your time. If he's great, either he was always great, or grew up and left his jerkitude days behind.

I decided I didn't want to hook up with a jerk with the hopes he'd be fine by 40. So, I targeted the great guys who were at least that age.

Wasn't down on old guys in general. Just that one. There doesn't seem to be enough of your husband to go around. :wink:

I thought she'd prefer a younger guy, so I added that.

Of course, as with everything, all old guys aren't mountain racers. Laughing

Yeah Phoenix, you have a point. Sozobe too (why on earth...). I'm going to group my answer with the two of you-- Despite my gut instinct, I try to ask myself if I'm tossing the thing out too soon. Also, I hadn't articulated any of this until today-- once you have a forum to basically air your instincts the whole thing comes together. I didn't want to have the doubts, I dint, I dint, but hell, the doubts have been mulling around my gut for a week or so now... he's annoying.

Chai, I agree. My husband would be following the girl up the mountain, looking at HER butt. Our husbands must be a lot alike. Um.... Yours isn't about 6'2", thin, long-legged, with dark brown hair and a mustache, IS HE?

Well, this ties in with the chattiness-- he talks about some pastor who is connected with some of the work he does and I can make neither hide nor hair of what he is talking about. And, he said I have a "holy" curiosity, which, again, I haven't a clue. And, he wrote about some Christian retreat/living commune type place he lived in years ago, apparently, everyone was in pain so that's why they flocked there.

I think the touch of self-righteousness comes from his diagnosing/analyzing my behavior in emails after one meeting.

Noddy, he might want a harem, but he doesn't have the social skills to acquire one.

Egoist, yes.

Eva, indeed, much mental energy saved, which equals much time saved.

Thanks for the chai tea approved method-- it's worth a print out to be posted on the fridge.
