: Have any of you tried using the Willy Week?  I would be curios to learn

: stories- where the person was out of the question- but sometimes it's
: nice to hear the fairy tales of where it does work out.


My best friend and next door neighbor met her mate through WW about
3 months ago. They've already got a wonderful relationship, and it
wouldn't surprise me if there are wedding bells in the near future.
They're both over 40. I figure they're old enough to know what they
want!   &:)

Their success story (she answered his ad, by the way) prompted me to
try it a couple times. I've met a couple nice guys, a couple I wouldn't
want to see again, but that's the way it works. Problem is most guys
that place those ads are looking for the Barbie doll with no brain.
I'm not trying to insult anyone nor stimulate a big debate, here, but
if you read those ads you'll see what I mean. Men (and women) set their
expectations so high that it takes a lot of nerve to answer an ad and
subject yourself to the scrutiny of a stranger.

However, there are indeed many happy endings out there.
