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?

[handk]

Not all that great looking, but judging from the picture we do know one thing: she's outstanding in her field.

[Little Bill]

I agree, the woman is looking for what she knows not.

[webstersII]

"I actually know some Manhattan women just like this, same age and everything, which is kind of scary.... No
man is good enough, and nothing ever lasts long for them, dinner is an exercise in seeing how many times
she can trip him up or he can't make her laugh on cue or whatever".

What you are describing is rampant selfishness and self-absorption. She never once stopped to think if she had anything to offer this guy. She never once stopped to wonder if he was having a good time on the date; if she had, then she might not have been so surprised when he bolted.

There's a reason women like this are lonely: they have nothing to offer. They are sponges, only taking and never giving.

BTW, there are plenty of men out there that are just like this. And most of them are just as lonely and complain just as much about how awful women are these days.

There are a few exceptions but this applies to alot of single baby boomers.

I know my comments won't be popular with some people here, so feel free to flame away.

I'm just mind boggled by the people I meet these days. In their 30's and 40's acting as if they are 20 years old. It's really pathetic.

Relax. I'm single and thirty-six, and I don't see anything wrong with attending a Metallica concert, for example. Now, if only they'd advertise these things on talk radio...:-)

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Thank you, God, for seeing to it that I met, dated, and married a beautiful, down to earth girl 27 years ago, and needn't worry about meeting and, even worse - DATING, monsters like this one.

Interesting handle. Combined with your post, it makes you sound like a female perv (no offense).

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

BTW also add on the list to shoot the person who said Library is a good place

I agree. Shhhhhhhhhhhhh...

[riri]

I am pretty relaxed though not relaxed enough to be in complete denial about my age. (33 btw)

Yes, I agree I see nothing wrong with attending a concert. What I am talking about is a general mindset, I see more and more frequently.

This chick is still living the lifestyle I had when I was 24. There just isn't anything cool about being 32. So, when I see 30 somethings still trying to live it, it makes me cringe.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

When it was time to leave, he picked up the check and TOLD ME WHAT I OWED FOR MY SHARE OF THE FOOD.

AAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh! Thank G*d I don't think of doing that!

I drove to see him, I rented the room and he didn't have the class to pick up the tab? Uh uh. Character Red Flag. He called me after that but I never went out with him again.

Good.

[NYCVirago]

I know it sounds crazy, but I was musing that if I start dating again, I ought to ask right off the bat: "What party do you belong to, and who did you vote for in the 1996 and 2000 elections?" It would save so much time.

No kidding. Someone should set up a conservative dating service!

"How does this gushing, female-oriented nonsense fall under the heading of "News/Activism?"

"Sorry gramps. I was just getting my football. I'll try to stay off your lawn in the future."

You do that punk! Take your damned "football" to a more appropriate forum for things that don't really matter!

[sauropod]

Ping!

[presidio9]

I can think of 391 reasons why you are wrong.

"I can think of 391 reasons why you are wrong."

You need to look at your math again whiz kid! I had a previous post in there, remember? Thanks for stopping by!

[presidio9]

Fine. Subtract 100. You are clearly in the minority. The news isn't just what YOU want to talk about. I may make a point of starting a Britney Spears thread today just to piss you off.

[Destructor]

You are a good example of what the Publik Skool system is producing these days! Start any thread you want. This is still a relatively free country!

Please add plenty of your thought provoking commentary, and mathematical calculations as well! I'll just stand back and watch (and laugh).

[Cuttnhorse]

I called a liberal woman a sexist after her rant about hating men, women are great, men are pigs blah blah blah...

Stop dating babes from Missoula and start hanging out in Dillon.

[kidd]

...I e-mailed him my three-question test...

Good grief. I'm glad I don't date anymore.

[At _War_With_Liberals]

A jerk? It sound like he was dying to get away from the crazy leftist.


I meant HER. I dated a few women like this, and their treatment of men borders on abusive. Men are just things to them.

[longtermmemmory]

Given the fact that the writers of the show seem to be homosexuals, it seems more the homosexual lifestyle rather than a single woman. (they are actual one female character's aspects split into four constituent parts)


It must be that NYC woman do not realize that leftist / feminst / democrat party woman are not marriage material. They have morphed themselves into an unattractive mess.

Bzzzt! So sorry.
Sixteen years of Catholic school here.
But thanks for playing.
Don Pardo, show him what he's won.
