| | | | | What Else Do Men Want? | | | | | found on SF Gate
written by sulli, edited by Nick (Plastic) [ read unedited ]
posted 2 hours, 34 minutes ago | | | | |
 | "As Valentine's Day approaches, one's thoughts naturally turn to the opposite (or same) sex and its maddening, yet endearing, behavior. In this vein, the San Francisco Chronicle has a detailed if slightly Cosmo-esque report on the wants and desires of that particularly frustrating type, biological-clock-phobic single men in their thirties. Though the National Marriage Project reports that 'men nationwide reported that they are in no rush to get married and have children,' Chronicle reporter Amy Moon went to the source and interviewed five men in their late 30s / early 40s:
Karl: "The tough part about that is, you always want to know, 'OK, this woman, is she the one?' ... I thought it would just be this big, grand, sweeping thing, and you'd just absolutely know. I had a lot of girlfriends, but I was never sure, and so I didn't get married, and I think that's probably a somewhat misguided notion."
John: "It was very important for me to have a family until probably pretty recently. Now, it's less important."
Peter: "I just see myself married. I know I have a lot of love, lots to bring to a relationship."
Any hope for the not-quite-so-fair sex, or is San Francisco just full of Mr. Flinchy wannabes?"

 | MAYORBOB writes "Richard C. Goddard Jr. just can't win for losing. As recounted here last year, the feckless 21-year-old from Colona, Illinois, had the logo of a local radio station tattooed on his forehead. He then showed up to collect the first of five $30K installments that he figured the station owed him. No such luck -- a court will decide on that one sometime this year. Now, he finds himself in the media spotlight for quite another reason -- it seems he pissed some people off who were so tired of hearing him threatening to kill himself that they decided to try to do the job for him.
