Maybe leaving out the part about being married five times would make your story a little more beneficial to the OP. Your friend is broken, and it's only a matter of time before Chanel No. 5 figures this out, too. Classes are great, though. None of the performance anxiety that comes with the club / bar scene. Go. For. It!

Edit: Down vote all you want but it's true. To paraphrase the old trueism: "Marry an asshole and, well, you married an asshole. Marry four assholes? you're the asshole."

I have a friend who was married five times (he's sticking with lucky lady No. 5) and what he did between wives to find the next one was the tried and true suggestion: taking classes.

Look, even if you don't meet and match with someone in the class, taking them enriches your life and makes you a more interesting person (which will help your overall presentation).

My friend took so many! Even ballet (and he'd been a Marine 😆). There are so many great classes / workshops to take! Look for workshops at first -- you know, the one-day or limited-session ones.

Cooking, wine, mushroom growing in your basement, wildflowers of Rhode Island, The Steel Yard, glassblowing, seal watching, day sailing, Save The Bay, rockhounding. Volunteer to be an usher at PPAC or Trinity. Check whether AS220 has workshops.

And remember, anyone at any of the activities might not be "the one" but might have a sister who is. So just go to the activity and strive to be open and friendly to everyone there. Because any of them might know someone who's looking, too.

Good luck! ❤️

They are very nice people, both have degrees, but have a weird relationship with money. They both grew up poor, so they feel like the best plan for money is to spend it fast before it runs out. It sounds crazy because it is, but people don't always really "get" the concept of saving money.

Cops are like mushrooms. Feed them shit and keep them in the dark.

Online dating ?

I’ve had success with Bumble and Tinder. Have to weed through some bs , but I’ve met real ladies on them 🤷‍♂️

If you like history there's a farm in I think it's Lincoln/Smithfield on 126 N that is looking for volunteers, I'm introverted as well but have been pushing myself to get outside more online dating is dismal at best and can't meet anyone sitting at home . ( I'm almost 53 single for years) I'm working myself up to joining a group of some sort this spring to make area friends ect . Good luck

This I was thinking too. My son 33 is in the same boat OP. I know your pain I see him sad all the time he also doesn't want to be the creep at the bar alone.

Super helpful! Thanks!

We kissed the middle-class goodbye. Now the hurdles to owning a home are beyond reach if you already floating just above the Government and State rated poverty levels.

Worked my whole life paycheck to paycheck. What do you think female office workers make? Only vacation was a couple days on a car trip. I keep my cars till they die a natural death. My clothes are from Walmart. There's no $100 a week extra.

The weather is going to improve in a month or two. There's lots of nice parks and places to walk around. I met my current husband gaming, so I'm no help. But there's unicorn666 up there. Say hi.

Would love an update from time to time. I’m rooting for you.

You don't have to be much of a dancer to go to salsa. A lot of times they have a free class beforehand where they teach people how to dance. Very non-threatening and lots of beginners and then you stay for music and drinks and can practice. It's really fun and salsa is not hard, the moves are very simple. Great way to meet people that isn't just drinking at a bar. And perfectly fine if you go alone and plenty of women to meet. It's a lot of fun.

No problem. I am glad I could help. There are instructions on contacting an inmate being held at the ACI. Getting an attorney is probably the best way to help him.

His brother is also a successful attorney; so I don't know how much he relied on that 100k.

His family is full of lawyers and RI history. I'm sure he's not too concerned about the money.

Yep, he's in the aci. Being held without bail at the moment but no charges listed. Thanks for this. It's unfortunate but at least I know now.
