Get a companion? (Eck!) Doesn't sound workable. A 40-ish woman was advising

game-over men - that is, guys who are no longer able to be players - that there are decent women out there; women of means.  Women - who in the 90s - were taking their schoolwork seriously, went to college, found good jobs, bought houses, invested in 401ks and such ...  Yeah, how about that: the "wall" is gender blind, but anyway...  These successful women are single, and some would like to meet decent men; men who are interested in going places and doing things.

Needful to say, these smart women are cautious.  They have friends and acquaintances, and so, have heard the stories: guy moves into his girlfriend's 3k square feet, lounges about (half stoned)  dishes in the sink, food wrappers on the coffee table...; gf comes in from a double shift, and he's at her to cook him a sammich.

All and all, what the lady described as a desirable companion was, basically, what the late Professor Daniel Amneus - author of "Garbage Generation" (the pdf is somewhere on the net) - described as a "housemale."

The intent of this post, is not to bash this live-in companion.  Like anyone, man or woman, when you get older, things change; man or woman, if you don't "cope" with the glaring fact, you're no longer all-star quarterback or head cheerleader/supermodel, well, down the drain ya go.  Anyway, was thinking about this poster companion, who's 30k job - not bashing that either - could barely afford him a small, rather dingy apartment, let alone a spacious four bedroom house, with a pool/hot tub, in a drama-free neighborhood.

Was thinking about him; namely, his future.  While statistically, women outlive men, what happens if she gets into a fatal car accident?  Can only hope, that his "coping" skills included stashing some of his 30k wages into savings.  Why?  Well, namely, you can about bet, that lovely house - which the deceased woman had bought, budgeted and paid for, with her money - will go to her (adult) child/ren.  Even if they were married, (and not just fornicating) he will likely have to pack his stuff, and move on.  But married or not, hopefully, the woman had thought enough of him to leave him with atleast some funds.  

But will things work out with the couple, given the not quite natural circumstances...?  The can-do woman probably did do a visit to her $300 an hour attorney... and they probably discussed her prenup draft, over top-shelf coffee and pastries.  Anyway, concerning take-charge women, what a certain preacher said, would surely set jaws a gnashing ... truth hurts ...  He had said, when women are living contrary to God's design, we "become emotionally unstable."  The preacher, in his sermon, however, did not mention men's mental state.  

Preecher didn't have to - for more info concerning men's behavior (in these twisted times) just go to any news sight.  Yep, you guessed it: it wasn't some (size) XX "karen" who robbed the bakery, and took a tire iron to the pie case.  (Why do robbers do that, when they know dern well the money's in the register?)
