    Default Mail Order Brides -wanted female.

    If y'all are following the Wilderness female thread, I want to relate a Rendezvous story.
    Mail order Brides????????

    While back we were at The Villa Louis Mansion in Prairie du Chen, WI
    called the Big River Rendezvous.
    Fathers day, every year, very large camp 700 + lodges.

    On the banks of the Mississippi River, with a couple river boats docked there.

    Well it was early in the river boat season, the crew was pretty much collage kids, not much experience.

    So about dusk, a dinner cruise boat was trying to dock, good current, crew was having a time getting it to land.

    This kinda attracted a crowd on reenactors, mountain men, mo-hawks, soldiers and rif raff of all sorts, walked down to the landing watching the poor crew at work.

    As it was a dinner cruise, most all aboard were older men/women...lots more women the men????

    As they all crowded on to the landing side, both decks one of the older women, hollered out, "who do you guys think you are, anyway, wild Indians, pirates, bums?"

    Large mountain man, long hair, beard, loin cloth, hold up a large tankard of cool aid, hollered back, "We ordered young women, these are all too old, send them back!"

    Morel to the story, how picky do ya wanna get?.

    I'll bet that woman that hollered out turned to her husband and said "Well, I never!"

    He, having had enough over the years probably blurted out these last words "Dag-Nab-It! That's been your problem all along."

    The more desperate you are, the less picky you get.
    I've seen it over and over again, on both sides.

    Advice: Never put yourself in a position to feel desperate in the first place.

    I've been drunk. I've been desperate. I've been both drunk and desperate but I have never had to chew my arm off the next morning. Us mature gentlemen have a little more class. More "Suave & Deboner"
    Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he's too old
    to fight... he'll just kill you.

    It should be that way but there are always hold outs to that rule.

    We have a guy friend who is not so attractive, pushing 50, not all that healty, owes money to everyone and is a habitual liar. Not much personality either. He is confident he can get a hot 20 year old girl. He keeps trying. It's pretty sad.

    His guy friends have tried explaining to him that he is at best a "4" and he will not get a "10"! But he's not understanding the math.
    "I enjoy surviving." Yes, well I certainly hope so as the other side of that is "DEATH!"

    He's my husbands "friend" as in he's known him for years. But yeah, the guys have been pretty blunt about it.

    We've got a friend like that.
    And he's very picky.

    Tell him to move to Michigan. He'll fit in just fine.

    They're trying to be hopeful and supportive I guess.
