"Many women in the world’s richer countries appear to seek Mr. Perfect, while their male counterparts are more willing to accept Ms. Goodenough." https://t.co/O2lVhZb7XI And the trend may be increasing. pic.twitter.com/F9q2iFJpWG

Trend is definitely increasing. Women are looking for millionaires above six feet tall who will be perfect fathers with model looks.

Men are looking for a woman who might be nice to them sometimes.

I wonder what’s driving women to be so hugely selective, more so than at any time in my lifetime certainly? It’s an interesting problem because it means a few win but most lose, because the pool of men that 80% of women are looking for is only enough for about 1 out of 50 or maybe even 1 out of 100 of them to find their “perfect” match.

Any way out of that bind?

The correct pronunciation is Flor-DUH, am I wrong?

Depends on what part of Florida you’re from. If North Florida, it’s something like that, but more like “Flo(uhr)-Duh.” If you’re Latin(a)(o), it’s more like it sounds in Spanish. If you’re not from the Southern part of the state, which is in the north in Florida, it’s closer to the Spanish pronunciation but not quite the same.

And if you’re a Northern snowbird, it’s all over the place, but it usually gets on my nerves because most snowbirds here are from New York and Pennsylvania and such, so it sounds like you’re grating cheese with your mouth.

I thought the Russian invasion of Ukraine would tamp down some of the Covid panic. Instead, a lot of those mooks are still yammering on about “complete safety” while advocating starting a nuclear war with Russia.

Which, cool, I guess.

“Alleged.” Great job, NBC News. The atrocities aren’t “alleged,” no matter who you believe committed them. I mean, obviously the Russians did but nothing here is “alleged.” There’s overwhelming documentary evidence already.

Our journalism is terrible.
