Some things you never say to a woman! I was in CVS (pharmacy) and I ran into this little old lady that used to volunteer at the Police Department a couple of years ago. I was like, "Hey Rena" and I could tell by the blank look on her face that she had no clue. I was figuring old age, so I held out my hand and said Heather from down at the PD. blah blah blah.... I walked away. She followed me a ways before she finally caught up to say "I did not recognize you, you gained weight. " My jaw hit the floor and, and a ton of dirty mean thoughts went trough my head, I almost punched her in the middle of CVS, I restrained myself, and said well it was nice talking to you, and turned away. Old Hag!
It was a blow to my self esteem, though I know she was probably just covering for her memory lapse. I lot has changed since then, I got a hair cut, and I did gain about 20 pounds thanks to prednisone. But I am going to the gym three times a week, drinking 100 ounces of water a day, and taking vitamins to flush that shit out of my liver. That's it, I am just never eating again. WTF! I am not beyond recognition, and I am by no means fat! B****!
Someone said to me a couple of days ago, that I should make time for a guy, or I will wake up tomorrow and be 50, and alone. It is not that I won't make time for a guy, I just won't make time for the bullshit. Where have all the decent guys gone? I am not looking for a perfect hunk of burning love. Just someone who can h0ld an intelligent two way conversation, who cares for more than just himself, with a healthy sex drive, a good sense of humor, ahhh the shopping list goes on. And I guess the point is that I am not really looking. I am single, and I am okay with that. I miss the good morning kisses, and scary movies (where you can cuddle down in your mans arms and not be afraid...) and all kinds of stuff.
I realize that I am a busy woman, work, school, studying, gym, life... but it would be nice to find a someone who you could just be yourself around, who you could call for no reason other than the fact that you are bored, who would laugh at your corny jokes. I always end up with bums/ self absorbed pricks/ alcoholics/ closet drug addicts/ or just plain ass holes! But they always start out the nice guys.... if only it would last. Just be your self. If you are an asshole, save me the grief, and just be an asshole. No, I won't date you, but save me the trouble.
What ever happened to the days of Chivalry, opening doors, not expecting a woman to put out on the first date?
Last two boyfriends for example: We will call them Joe and Bob.
Joe, started out great. For the first three months, he was consiederate, on time, did what he said he was going to do, then he just revealed his true colors. He is a self absorbed prick.
Bob: Started out a little bumpy... but he recovered. Then I found out he was an alcoholic. He even started keeping Amber Bach in my fridge. Now I am down with social drinking. But drinking every night... uh that is a little much!
I actually made time for both of them. Blah~ I give up!

I know what you mean. You shouldn't be with someone just to be with someone. Then the worries of finding someone good enough. The thoughts of lowering your standards... okay, maybe this is just me, imposing my issues on anyone else... anywho.

I have been on both sides of that coin. Self absorbed prick/good guy who tries. Both sides made me appreciate the women I date today, but ya I agree with Justin, you shouldn't be with someone just to be with someone. You are a busy woman from what I've read, and I think thats a lot better than being a settler for the sake of it.
I would have punched her in the face!

I certainly understand where you're coming from... although I've been married for 10 years this December, I recall how it seemed to me there were no "good women" at one time. I used to say that if there was one person for everybody, the person for me must be in China, because I sure wasn't meeting them.
I've always been one of the "good friend" types and it took a while to find somebody who appreciated that. My only unsolicited advice would be to make sure you're not overlooking alternatives that are there that may not seem obvious at first.
Don't worry about the strange woman's opinion- from the photos I've seen posted, you're above average looks-wise, as if that is what counts. The fact that you are intelligent and a talented wordsmith should add to your appeal.
