A lot of young ladies who hope to have the father of their 5.5 kids survive to help them raise those kids will hate the motorcycle bit.
Yeah. Among the few of my non-negotibles were no motorcycles/ATV’s and no smoking. Some things just aren’t worth the risk. I also cannot help but see motorcycles as anything BUT wasteful. Ride a bike.gregoryphealy:

(I know a lot of perfectly nice guys ride, but…)
Hah, I understand this, but it really is a unique, fun experience that adds spice to your life. Any reasonable woman could negotiate me out of riding a motorcycle for the sake of my prospective children. But you’re not having children with women you haven’t met (this is a Catholic forum after all ha), so the issue of not being around to raise children is irrelevant unless you’re stubbornly attached to the hobby. If it’s a non-starter for some women, I could understand that, but any woman for whom its an absolute non-starter would strike me as a bit unadventurous.
LOL my husband and I both Geocache, mountain bike and kayak. There is nothing about us that is unadventurous. He also winter hikes.Xantippe:

God blessTis has a good point. Motorcycles in the US are generally more contentious than say, Vietnam or Indonesia, where they are so popular they are used more than cars.
For your daughter’s sake wait a few more years. They will be grown soon enough.Since my husband passed away in November 2016, my friends, some family are started to “ease” the word dating into their conversations. They even whispered in the ears of my daughters 12 and 10 to push it. One friend suggested a Catholic website, to be honest I am afraid of going on any website. I would rather wait and if someone’ stumbles’ into my world, well… you never know. Right now I’m content …to be continued:
I feel exactly the same way. If God wants me to meet someone He will have to put it in my path and be very obvious about it. I was very fortunate to have the husband I had for 23 years and to have known him for the 10 years before that so we were really together in some sense of the word for 33 years. There are a lot of predators out there looking to take advantage of lonely middle-aged women and I have a huge amount of work to do at this point and do not need or want any drama, any predators, etc.Since my husband passed away in November 2016, my friends, some family are started to “ease” the word dating into their conversations.

Yeah, a lot of our recently married CAFers met in their late 20s/early 30s.
Weeell, but then if that same young men had gotten PTSD or some sort of other life-changing injury from military service, it could be just as much (or more) of a setback than just debt.
