You're right of course....
There are exceptions to most "rules"..
More often that not --- the package hangs together..
The pattern is all too frequently observed..
Semper Fi
But there are lots of exceptions to the rules and perception runs both ways wrongly.
I dont know if youre single, but for the sake of argument, lets say you are. And this isnt just for you but for all the FR guys on here that set standards based on what they "see".
Maybe the reason they arent finding the right girl is because they are make ALOT of assumptions.
Ill give you and example. My sons peer group has only one single mom (Thank goodness) and shell make an ideal example.
Lets say you and a few of your FR buddies decide to stop by a local diner. When you arrive you see two little gals sitting in a corner booth talking. Its summer and you note that one is wearing "hippy sandles" has a tattoo on her ankle, wearing an embelished tunic, smoking a ciggerette. The other is sporting a USA shirt with the american flag. she has no tattos, no ciggerette (that you can see).
Ms flag girl gets up to powder her nose and you hear miss tattoo talking, its obvious that she is speaking with her teenage child.
neither girl is sporting a wedding ring. From what you "see" (and ya'll suggest on here) is a skanky lefty who has a tattoo and smokes, who obviously has a "bastard child" and the "all american" girl sitting with her.
You decide to ask ms flag girl out.
What you find is shes a raging lefty, pro gay marriage, anti church, has 2 children from 2 different dads (never married) smokes, dates guys like they are fast food and swears like a truck driver. she doesnt believe in cooking, cleaning or raising her own kids. she is high maintance. her idea of a "home cooked" meal is fried shrimp and prime rib at that local steak house.
The other one is me. I dont always sport my wedding ring because i often wash dishes by hand and I am hard on jewelry.
You and your Fr buddies would have been wrong on both accounts, simply by making assumptions. Had i been single as well you would have bypassed the conservatvie suzy home maker in favor of ms flag girl.
If all the girls you meet with tattoos follow the rule, youre looking in the wrong places. i bet youll find ALOT of freeper women who have tattoos.
Im just saying..........
