I have to dig deep to determine whether you’re right Perry… I would say that as a general rule, society is “structured” (for lack of a better word) in such a way that women feel that they need to “find” a man to take care of them… even if not in monetary ways, we think that we at least need a man to fix things around a house (yeah, that would be nice even for me). But I think that my personal problem with “catching” or “keeping” a man is that I don’t stroke his ego enough to make him feel needed enough… I love men though… don’t get it twisted.

In any case, to add something meaningful to the real estate discussion, I was fortunate enough to buy a condo in 1996 in West Hollywood for $75K after the previous owner had been foreclosed on (grammar?). She had paid $120k. A 37.5% decline. Boy was I lucky. I am crossing my fingers that we will see a similar decline. I hate that I’m hoping for the misfortune of others in the process, but it is what it is…
