I have an eye for troubled women and they have an eye for me. I'm not sure I'd have it any other way. A pretty good headshrinker told me that I'd probably be bored to death by a healthy well adjusted woman. My problem is that I'm not nearly as fucked up as I used to be. Troubled women see me as just their type. Then they get a little closer and find out that I'm actually struggling to get better and boy is that a turn off. They're looking for some hopeless case that they can fix up and I'm not all that hopeless. I'm not all better either. I'm like a feral dog: neither wild nor tame. The coyotes in heat want no part of me and neither do the well groomed show dogs.

I read this early this morning. I needed some coffee...bad. Not necessarily to comment.... but the sad realization that I get this... I really get it.
The reason these losers, of which you speak, are on the market in their 50's.... is because I divorced them in my 20's, 30's and 40's.
I, am a shit magnet, of the most extraordinary levels.

The old line that Groucho had about not wanting to join any club that would have him for a member comes to mind.
