I long again determined that men are too much effort.

But if you still feel the need, you will just have to keep looking everywhere. Check under the tables and in the corners too.

I also hear they are out there, and I have knows some wonderful men. The older I got, the harder it was to find the good ones though. They were already married and settled down, and were not divorcing their wives.

I have also seen more often the ones who are not all that great. And I have seen so many women who have more trouble due to dealing with the men in their lives than if they were making it on their own.

I hope you find that right one. I am no longer looking.

That makes it a little easier. "Reasonable" is harder, "good looking" is in the eye of the beholder.

Not sure where to find men. I met my first fiance at a science fiction movie night. He introduced me to the man I've been married to for 35 years - the circumstances of that introduciton are best left unsaid since I'm not sure of the statute of limitations for certain felonies.

Oh, and I thought I looked pretty hip in my suit, tie, and hiking boots look on Friday. Office by day, rugged outdoorsman by night. Reasonably good looking? Well, I'd like to hope so.

but when I went to make phone calls for Pres. Obama there were some nice men there. If I were single that is one place I'd look (helping out at a political event) at least you'd meet some like-minded ones politically.

At the risk of sounding condescending, your title should read:

"Where might I find a reasonably good-looking man?"

Or perhaps you meant: "Where can I find a reasonable, good-looking man?"

Never having been a single man over 30, I can neither confirm or deny this.....................
