The Game is On!

mood: chipper
It’s no secret that I’ve gotten tired of being on my own. Besides, my slouchy adolescent plans to launch himself into the world in the next few years. . . This will make my dinner table a whole lot emptier that it was. So, since I don’t want to date anyone from work (and precious few from work want to date me, truth be told) I have taken a friend up on his recommendation of a dating site that worked wonders for him. So the game is on.

What I find fascinating about this dating site is how many VERY young men seem to be viewing my profile and even sometimes emailing me through the site. The only thing I can figure is that they have high hopes of finding a Sugar-Mama to keep them in a lifestyle with which they would like to become accustomed. It’s a shame so few of them can engage my attention. Ah, bah. I can't afford one anyways. If I can’t afford a cleaner, I certainly can’t afford a Boy Toy. Then, of course, there are the Old Guys. No, not the fit and trim hot-looking steel-gray-haired athletes that you see in Geratol commercials, either. I mean the fat, gross, kinda kinky and perverted (but not in a good way) guys. Ewwwww. I’d describe further, but I don’t want to be responsible for putting that image into your head. Speaking of fat just earlier, this topic is done to death on mens profiles. Lots and lots of men mention that they don’t want to be accosted by fatties. Men from all walks of life and of all ages and races go on (and on) about this. The one thing that’s pretty consistent about these fellows? Well (drumroll) they’re all fat. Pardon my saying, but to clarify, unfuckably fat. Sorry gang. I just said a bad word. But it’s so true. I can’t help not feeling attracted to overweight people, but I CAN avoid mentioning it on my profile. Good manners, as my Nana used to say, are free. I may allude to something like, “prefers men who take care of themselves”. I think we all get the picture. So, anyways, can you spell ironic? Fat men don’t want fat women. Gee, I wonder why the divorce, huh? Huh?

Keeping life interesting

Sortof reminds me of when I was trying to get pregnant and I was kind of looking forward to having to "try" for a long time, but noooo....
Careful what you wish for! harhar, though funny because I was just thinking you should come out and visit us here, this youngish (he refuses to tell and insists, even regarding romantic relationships, that age is "completely irrelevant") carpenter dude who has done some excellent work for us (plus he took excellent care of the house and dogs first time we went to Puerto Rico, and while we were gone, he cleaned and organized our pantry and media area! He really was great) anyway, I bet you would be inspired by him. There really are some good people in the world. Enjoy exploring possibilities!

One of the benefits of being middle aged is that I'm just not in so much of a hurry anymore. Which is nice. So, by the way, I"m going to meet a nice my-age academic (a bit more my taste than the average carpenter) person here in a few minutes. I have no aspirations except to have a cup of coffee with a pleasant person. It's all good.

Re: Keeping life interesting

Well. It's still interesting. The guy seems great. Looks like Matthew Day, kinda. Fewer curls. Well educated. . . and moving away as soon as he finds a job. Oh. Okay. I more than half wondered why he was looking around on a dating site if he didn't plan on being around, but youknow. Why ask if you don't want to know the answer. So, a nice guy. A friend at least, one would hope. Onward.

Re: Keeping life interesting

Oh well, friends are good. BTW, if you do feel like a summer vacay out here you'd trip over all the single men, I think they come here thinking they'll meet someone, but the single women here tend to partner up with each other. This carpenter guy is an unusual mix of characteristics actually, like one part bluecollar worker, one part feminist, a part dog lover (he has the cutest trick he taught Lola, his rescue pitbull mix, and several parts practical connoisseur (that spelling looks so wrong). I gather his brother is keeping his other two dogs back in upstate New York, and he's more than one part neatnick. But super easy to work with, we have no complaints, he did a great job and charged very fairly. He's only lived on the island a year, but he seems to have been handling himself pretty responsibly for maybe a thirty-ish guy? Oh you should see the guy Sophi has been hanging with! Fluent in Russian! Master in Arch student! She's learning a lot from him. I think that's the best we can do anyway, is to try to learn a little something from each other. Everything else is gravy.

Re: Keeping life interesting

Unless the man/men are planning a move to Ann Arbor, then they need to be clear that I'm not playin'. That one guy you tried to fix me up with was TOTALLY not my taste, so please don't volunteer me. Noe has to get through High School in the same town he has all his friends. Besides, in this market, I'd never be able to sell the house. But vaca (what a cow-ha ha ha)? Prolly. I need to get the brakes done on the car though. I hope later in summer? Noe is still in school right now and everything. Are the others planning to get together someplace? Should we rent a house together on a beach somewhere? I'll do whatever.

Re: Keeping life interesting

That sounds like fun. I'll look around for a beach house somewhere and see what I can find.

Re: Keeping life interesting

Check with the others, and see if they have a plan. Oh, and if you can find something that I could drive to, it would be cool. That way we could bring our bikes.

Re: Keeping life interesting

Realizing we won't really be able to go anywhere this summer, unless it's to Maryland to bring Echo to college (which we will have to do twice, once for orientation and again to actually move in). And I'm so busy with the island things, can't leave the garden and dog biz without a big production. Oh well. And I don't remember trying to fix you up with anyone the last time you were here by the way. But whatever. Hugs to the kid! And Happy Birthday to him! Maybe he might like to come out for a little cheap summer change of pace? He's totally welcome...
