Meeting someone that you might want to go on a date with is nearly impossible in a city where everyone is on the go and no one takes the time to stop and smell the roses. I was over the bar/party scene soon after I turned 21. I don't believe such settings are a good place to look for someone to date, anyway.
Most guys here are the "J Crew" type, always off to climb a 14, mountain biking, or snowboarding in the mountains. Don't get me wrong, it's great that they find enjoyment in such activities, but I'm just not that athletic. I'd like to be again, and am on a path to doing so, but I'm not there yet. Needless to say, I don't get a second look, sometimes not even a first, from the cuties out here.
I paid for a month on e-Harmony and nothing panned out. I was pretty specific about what I was looking for and very honest about who I am and what I look like. I still got matches that were outside the parameters I set up. What's the point of filling out a profile that takes for-FUCKIN'-ever to fill out if they don't even consider your answers. After I closed communications with countless "matches", they started shoveling "flexible matches" at me. There's $60 I won't get back. I could have used that money to buy Little Debbie snacks to drown my sorrows in! It would have been a more enjoyable experience!!!
So, I filled out a profile on Chemistry.com. I got an email saying, "You have someone interested in you." I log in only to find that I have to pay $50 to find out that Matt is probably not someone I'm compatible with. These dating sites have us singles by the balls and they don't even care that we might want to have kids one day as they're squeezing the life right out of our poor cajones!!! Plus the fact that I will not shovel at least $50 per month looking for a guy that may or may not be the right guy for me. Just forget it...
I'll just do my thing and pray that God and the angels will finally bless me with a man that I deem worthy of sharing my life with. I've settled too many times in my life out of fear of being alone and I won't do it again. He'll have to be everything I want. I don't ask for too much. I want him to be tobacco-free, a non-alcoholic, respectful, honest, romantic, responsible, hygienic, funny, successful and sweet. I make these demands because I've dated men who don't have the above qualities and it just plain SUCKS!!! I won't settle anymore, even if it means I will be the cat lady at the end of the street in the scary house.
Well, there's my Friday night rant. Take it, leave it, whatever. Enjoy your weekend!!!
