I kind of expected something a bit more full on for Israel's counter attack on Iran.

Looks like it might all just be a set up to get the Israel & Iran thing de-escalated without either side losing face.

Character can vary also but often very beautiful girls can be a bitch to be with. You can get some with decent character traits but that usually just means that even more men are after them.

Ah... trenchie's pussy pad Where to base that? What locale? Hmmnnn

Depends, Looks, Brains, Character are a tough mix. Usually won't that are beautiful or exceptionally beautiful may not have brains so much, either because they just don't have intelligence or never had call to use it. A girl who is beautiful tends to start dating sooner so less time for studies, she tends to get stuff easier and probably gets wealthy guys come up more, or she goes into party mode as she is constantly invited to them, takes up drugs, etc or gets good paying modelling numbers so intelligence is never needed.

There are some beautiful Hollywood star girls who have tried the intellectual route but usually it is a waste of their time, if they do it and it breaks up the best part of their acting careers (when they are young) it usually either screws up their acting career permanently and/or they lose out on big money. While someone can theoretically be both beautiful and intelligent it is usually not often they are high in both. If they are then they are likely to be even more difficult to get.

Some people can get someone who is reasonably attractive and reasonably intelligent. That's a more easier find and likely more easier to keep hold off. Always a case of remembering how you stack up also?

It's easy to get carried away, it's natural that we may think decently off ourselves but if we are only reasonably intelligent (at least reflected by our abilities that others can ascertain) and reasonably attractive then unless other factors weigh in strong for us (big wealth, etc) then how the hell are we supposed to keep content a very beautiful highly intelligent woman? There may be ways but it's probably not going to be on the cards seriously getting with such a girl and keeping her unless she has other big negatives weighing her down she'll have much better options ina frequent basis. So being realistic is a big deal here I think.

One interesting question on this topic is, how long can a guy keep up the Playboy lifestyle if he isn't overly rich/famous? So no Hugh Heffner kind of more like CG.

Can he end up too old that good time girls don't want to contemplate it? There's fillers, hair dye and stuff that can make a guy more reasonable looking but what if all that isn't enough when the guy gets real old? How long can he keep the Playboy lifestyle? Or does he just go with older women in their 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s 70s, etc either permanently or carrying on the same playboy lifestyle?

So can a guy set up he's Playboy Mansion (pussy pad?) somewhere in a warm exotic enough pleasant climate that is scenic enough and bus girls in from abroad on a ongoing basis till really old age and be happy from it?

one of the things that the 49ers had to learn wuz to tell "Fool's Gold" from real Gold!!!

my first trip to the Yuba River in the Mother Lode, nearly gave me a heart attack
cuz when I climbed down to the river, I could see that gleaming gold specs were all OVER the bottom of the river

thought I wuz gonna be rich with this Gold Bonanza!!!
but unfortunately, those gold flakes are called "iron pyrite" aka Fool's Gold
real Gold OTOH, ain't found on the surface like that, cuz it's too dense
so ya gotta dig deep for it

whatcha learn in one domain can sometimes be applied to others

I'm sorry, but today's Republican Party is NOT The Party of Lincoln, instead it became the party of "big business" at the end of 19th century
you could've pitched that argument about democrats way back then
but not today
