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

NY Post ^ | November 16, 2003 | BRIDGET HARRISON

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?

[Poohbah]

Hey, it's how I met my wife.

Bottom line: someone as shallow and vacuous as this woman is will only attract equally shallow and vacuous men.

Pilot: Well, I certainly hope we don't have a crash.
Co-pilot: They say its safer than crossing the road.
Pilot: We have to do that too!
Co-pilot: Best not to think about it.

Yeah right...those places are awlful.

A cross-section of the better side of mankind -

- and such is more a testament of the state of mankind, too (flawed, fallible, imperfect *yet* striving to overcome and do better WHILE living in an imperfect world).

Might I ask you where you (or have done) your 'shopping'? Statistically, I think work is the where most people meet/size each other up. My parents met that way ...

[_Jim]

Hey, it's how I met my wife.

Congrats ... starting out with a common faith (or at least a common belief in God) is a good way to start. A group is also a good way to 'mix and mingle' while participating in activities without undue 'pressure' on either party ...

[TheAngryClam]

No kidding.

Yuck, it's almost as bad as crusing for barflies.

[Centurion2000]

They want a man THEY can control, who will not get in the way of her career, disagree with her in public (or in private, come to that), and who has ESP about her mercurial temper and mood swings, always doing and saying just the right thing.

I hope they find men like that ... because they will HATE them. Just watch.

Liberal feminazi woman means NEVER being satisfied with the man you are with.

[Centurion2000]

A substantial percentage of American women in their 20's thru 40's are either this or this.

Ex wife was definately the second one :-)

[McGavin999]

Gee, did it ever dawn on her that her lack of morals (charging her date to her employer) might have turned him completely off?

Or maybe he thought as long as she was going to cheat by charging their meal off, she might as well charge the taxi as well.

[TrappedInLiberalHell]

I hope they find men like that ... because they will HATE them. Just watch.

There was an article in "The Onion" a year or two back. It was about a woman who finally succeeded in 'domesticating' her wild boyfriend, and then she expressed dissatisfaction with him, and started lusting after his still-wild friend. As Homer Simpson says, "It's funny because it't true."

[Young Werther]

Kim Cattrell is a hottie nevertheless. Are you suggesting that her role in "Mannequin" was somehow cryptic?

[nightdriver]

"MAY I make a suggestion - get into a church-sponsored singles group ..."

Yeah, right, James, suuuuuure.

Nothing like having a woman who knows how to stomp on a guy's spirit as well as his ego and self-esteem in order to be the one in control.

Like trying to cultivate a close relationship with a porcupine.

No thanks. Been there, done that and got that "T"-shirt.

[jackbill]

And if he went ahead and married this girl,

She called him her ex. As an old fuddy duddy, ex means ex spouse. Was she or was she not married to Aron?

Regardless, I suspect that Aron is happy to be out of the situation, whatever it was.

By the way, could I get a job at the Post if I described all of my marital and dating problems? What does it pay?

[Cicero]

Let me get this straight. She dumped a date not because he was a suicide bomber, but because somebody had nearly suicide bombed him?

Would she have agreed to a second date with him if he told her he was in the habit of strapping on dynamite himself?

Hard to tell, with these liberal feminist checklists.

[_Jim]

Yeah, right, REST of insulting post abruptly clipped

Well .. go ahead and meet barflies and hookers and those that have NO interest in things spiritual -

- WHAT is this - a board full of PAGANS?

How did you meet YOUR girlfriend or wife anyway - swap meet? Rodeo? Kroger's?

The other side of this coin is - maybe some of you *are* Neaderthals who neither bathe nor shave for weeks!

[LibertarianLiz]

I e-mailed him my three-question test.

What I can't believe is that this guy ACTUALLY TOOK this test. If I were a guy, and some idiot sent me a three-question "test" before they would agree to a blind date; I'd be saying no thanks.

[_Jim]

This question is still on the floor, too, dear:

Might I ask you where you (or where you have done) your 'shopping'?

[adam_az]

Gosh, I hope so!

[DragonflyX]

I lived in Wyoming for almost 2 years before I got a date. I had two friends there who had the same experience. I don't know about Idaho or Montana:)

[anncoulteriscool]

I dont go anywhere. I just live my life and dont concern myself with the dating routine. Its all a big game anyways.

[Rainbow Rising]

They were not married. I see your point about ex meaning ex spouse, however. That's the way I've always thought of it as well.
