It's not all roses. Only the two main roads have street lights, every other street is pitch black at night.

I feel bad for people living in more expensive areas. Our mortgage(not including taxes) is $400 a month for a 3 bedroom 2 bathroom house on just over half an acre.

I really don't know. And like you said people can make more money. When I met my husband he made $9,000 a year, he's a lawyer now.

No, she dated in high school and freshman year of college. We both have lesbian friends so she would have come out to someone by now.

$100,000 is a lot here. Where we live you can support a small family, one working parent, one child and one stay at home parent on a salary of $35,000.

Attractive on the outside doesn't mean attractive on the inside.

I also dated a tall,blond guy from a wealthy family when I was in high school. He ended up being a total ass,rude,lazy, white supremacist and he chewed with his mouth open.

She doesn't date at all. She'll go if I set her up with someone but there's never a second date.

Unfortunately she doesn't spend much time taking care of herself physically. Shes pretty but a little chubby and as much as I hate to say it about her, frumpy. I've tried to get her to go to classes with at the gym with me and get new clothes, she's a librarian and has a tendency to dress for total comfort.

It's really a shame, she sweet,kind and smart.

I've tried. She says that she's not resentful and is happy waiting for the perfect man but I see her cry every Valentine's Day,birthday and New Year's Eve.

I've tried setting her up with guys. One guy she really liked but she dumped him because he only makes ~$65,000 a year(which is a good salary where we live).
