I've sort of been hit from both sides as far as whether you appear to
have money or not. Most people meeting me and seeing how I live and
dress would assume I'm fairly poor but that's not quite true.

Others who find out certain information assume I'm rich and just
don't show it. I wouldn't say rich, but that's closer to the truth.
But I'm not one to spend a lot of money on entertainment, travel,
gifts and such so anyone after me for money ends up disappointed.

I've met a few through the years where the interest was not at
all related to money, but most of the time they end up just wanting
to do things together and be 'friends' until they find someone else
closer to what they are looking for as a spouse.

Now that I'm older I have a bigger problem since I'm in much better
shape than most people my age (or 20 years younger) so I would
probably have to find a woman who was quite a bit younger than me
just so she could keep up, but to get one of those you're probably
back to using money as bait..   B)
