I think the east coast, west coast thing in the U.S. is the same in Canada. The single men are all in the west (or so i'm told). I'm in Nova Scotia and it's slim pickings here...

"remarkably OK with it." I am with you on that phrase--WTF? I would rather be happily single than unhappily married. That's a no-brainer, I think.

All my exes have been possessive and since my last significant long term monogamous relationship (4 years) ended 1 1/2 years ago, i've been stalked twice. Once with extra bonus death threat. Both guys were in my age bracket (late 30s). All the nice, darling, delectable, sweet, motivated, ambitious guys I've met? Mid 20s. Am currently spending a lot of time in an as yet undefined (and thus unconsumated) thing with a 25 year old. I am 38. LOL And I now remember the great "undefined" decade known as 20s. But that is so so so OK with me even I find it bizarre. Am determined just to enjoy his friendship and whatever happens happens. I am single and so ok with it, it is scary.

Needless to say, I'm not looking for a repeat of that situation. So I wouldn't say I am dating so much as "sampling..." Is that a relationship category?

Second, the same statistical breakdown has been made of Vancouver, with correspondingly similar results. Yet the nice guys, like me and a few friends of mine, don't get the dates! The status of the relationships reminds me of the Chris Rock video "Single and Lonely, Married and Bored" - funny stuff. On the other hand, I've decided that I'm ok with being single, despite it all including the frustrations and bad luck, things could be a hell of a lot worse... All the best! Hey FBC,
