I still feel that the good points of being single (even by your definition) can be combined with the good points of being coupled up. The trick, of course, is finding someone who will go along with your need for freedom, control, etc. They ARE out there - at least I've met plenty in Columbus! Some will seem to be very compatible with my attitude and lifestyle but will "change" after a couple months when they find that they REALLY want a more traditional arrangement. That's ok - at least I wasn't lonely for that time. What I've found to be necessary is to be VERY VERY clear right out front as to what I want. If the woman doesn't go along with this, then neither of us has wasted any time. I guess I'm saying that I don't believe it has to be "either-or". Carl Yaffey cbosgd!cly
