No one in Little Women would have said that. That was from Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austin.

The British have always been a bit different about things like that. The American feeling tends to be, Why buy a cow when you can get the milk for free?

OMG an erudite colonial! eek grin whistle

And: Oh yes, we Brit's are definitely a bit different.

Besides I like high maintenance totty.

Gentling them to hand is a challenge worthy of me......

Keep your totties, I'll take a real woman any day, wait - I married one! 24 years, still very much in love, and she loves camping, hiking, raising kids, ...

Yes, people like these (men and women) are very self centered, and tend to become very unattractive very quick.

Just ask yourself, would you want to be stranded on an island or in a forest with her? That narrows the list down fairly quick. And for everyone hyperventilating about being stranded with a supermodel, don't bother replying. That's not what I'm talking about.

Apros of nothing:

A college of my ........ worked with a certain lady who was some what tempermental.

Looker, but tempermental.

Had this uncharming trick of slapping (or trying to) any man who said anything to her that she didn't like or considered insulting (like the truth).

Note: She only did this when she had a glass or three. Don't ask me how she got away with it because I don't know. Put it down to most men's reluctance to hurt a looker.

Tried it on one chap in a wine bar.......

She swung and he wrapped his fist around her hand.

She tried it with the other one.

He caught that as well.

She thought "Oh S....." thinking that he was going to return the faviour.

He just looked at her and asked "You finished?"

Anyway, one thing lead to another and she is now married to him.

Two kids.

I am just old fashioned enough to think that one should marry for love. Silly me...

So does she. For love of money.

Cynical Sue
