A GUY WITH NO CLUE WHO LEFT ME IN A STEW (WHY NYC IS FULL OF LONELY LIBERAL 30-SOMETHING WOMEN)

I lay awake in bed for three hours straight this Thursday, panicking that I have become way too choosy when it comes to blind dates. After all, isn't New York full of lonely women in their 30s who think no one is good enough?

I told him he had to be able to party with me at a muddy music festival for three days

What chemicals pray tell help her to "party...for three days?" NY Post might want to get her to pee in a cup when she gets back from her next little music festival.

I read her column every Sunday, probably because something about her irritates and fascinates me at the same time.

I know just how you feel

Nerd is a hipster style since the mid-1990s.

See, as examples, all the members of the band Weezer and/or some incarnations of Elvis Costello.

Thanks for the info.

Damn! That's the exact kind of picture I'd like to have of me, with a tornado in the background.

Where the men are men...lol

That brings up an old line I used to hear in Colorado about Texas Men.

"Where men are men and....sheep are nervous."

BTW...one could say that about anywhere....in ski towns in Colorado back in the 70s, they liked to pick on Texas a lot.

I could probably tolerate dating a liberal woman IF she respected my opinions, and was willing to either not discuss politics OR engage in civil discussion without vomiting out the leftist line on every subject. But she'd have to be pretty moderate for me to even consider a long-term relationship of any kind. Even then, I'd be wary. The last thing I would want would be to marry someone who undermined everything I believe in. There's something to be said for complementary partnerships, but not to that degree. You have to be reasonably on the same page philosophically. Complement each other in other ways (division of labor, or in parenting style), but you can't be happy with someone who is as foreign to you as someone in China.

Having said that, I can't figure Carville/Matalin. The sex must be fantastic (sorry for that awful mental image).

Here's another as seen on the back of an old, but reliable little Datsun pickup where only last month the driver had a very fine GMC pickup, a late-model Polaris, a great dirtbike, a 4-wheeler with attached .375 magnum, and in fact a lot of great Alaskan toys: In Alaska you don't lose your woman, you just lose your turn.

"What I find most telling about this woman is that even though she drops what seems like several dozen hints in this short column to insure the reader knows she travels amongst the veddy veddy important Manhattan media circles - a subculture which is quite sizable - she's forced to rely on blind dates for any hope whatsoever of finding a partner. She's literally exhausted her entire Rolodex, except to ask for referrals."

That's a good point. The whole "blind date" social addiction is pretty foreign to me. Who has time for such random nonsense? I mean, if you aren't meeting interesting people at your job, or at one of your favorite social causes, or associated with one of your hobbies/sports/past-times or travels, then who are you really kidding?

What she's really doing is abusing her casual, social, and professional acquaintences. She's getting them to set her up with people who don't know her, her reputation, or her foibles. In contrast, whatever people whom she is in contact with in her own daily life, be they casual, professional, or social friends, all know better than to date her or even spend non-mandatory time with her. It's Friday night and her friends aren't asking her out?! She's got a free night to waste on yet another blind date, why, exactly?! Her friends haven't planned anything with her, that's why.

And who do they set her up with? New guys fresh off of the boat from Israel, not people whom they've established long-term friendships with in NYC, that's who. In other words, they throw meaningless people at her to busy up her "free" nights rather either invite her to be with them or even warrant risking setting her up with someone whom they care about. After all, they *know* her.

The big clue for her is that the people she meet aren't going out with her. The minor clue for her is that they are quite willing to set her up with people whom they barely know themselves.

What's probably happening in liberal social circles is that their personal relationships have grown rather immature over time. Wasting time on endless blind dates is indicative of such.

Professional hitmen. They hang out with Rush. (That's a hint)

You set yourself up when YOU OFFERED TO PAY for the dinner.

He knew right there he wasn't getting any. He probably made tracks to a night club after escaping her.
