The Girlfriend Test

Like I mentioned before, I am a horrible judge of character. The only good thing I got from some of my relationships is a whole lot of good friends. From Frank, who stalked me when I tried to break up with him by standing in the parking lot of the apartment where I lived when I went on a date, and stole all my pretties so I wouldn't wear them for anyone else, and my answering machine so nobody else could leave me a message (wait--that's a whole story of it's own) I got Chuck and Kathleen. From Rick, who took everything that wasn't nailed down when he left I got a wonderful bunch of friends, including his girlfriend after me who he did pretty much the same thing to. So going through these tribulations of finding Mr. Right there have been good things that have come about because of these horrible relationships. But I just can't trust myself. Some girls can meet a guy, and instantly they have this wonderful relationship. Not me. I have read a lot lately on how to attract the right man and most all of the sources say--don't give too much of yourself too soon. Which is exactly what I do. Consistantly. Some of my girlfriends are trying to get me to introduce them to my potential guy right away so they can give a thumbs up--even they don't trust my judgement. I'm starting to think that's not such a bad idea. So I'm throwing it out there--if anyone is listening: What would you ask your girlfriend's potential mate if you had to interview him and give a recommendation to your poor misguided friend?

Another interesting tidbit: monagamy is not a natural state. The natural state was that men had lots of partners to perpetuate the species and women lived with this man in groups (with the other "wives") and these other women were their main social contact during days when the men were on the hunt for food to survive. Over the course of time it became socially unacceptable in our society for a man to have more than one wife. But they are still "hardwired" with urges that some can supress and others, not so much. Things that make ya go hmmmmmmmmm!

The Eye of the Beholder

So after studying up a little on how to present myself in an online profile, I created a totally new one. I wrote it up yesterday and posted it with the promise of current pictures to come. Without the pictures I got 3 responses and got pretty stoked that this might be the beginning of some dating action. So I ran home last night and took (what I thought) were some decent pictures of lil ol me. Now I have ALWAYS taken awful pictures and it's difficult to get one I actually like. These weren't perfect. I need a haircut. But they weren't awful, either. So I posted them this morning and NOTHING! Not even a nibble! I know I should be patient but come on! No picture=nibbles. Picture=NOTHING?????? Guess I'll get that haircut!

What goes around comes around--The karma bus has arrived.

I have really bad love karma. Seems like there is no equity for me and love. equity [ˈɛkwɪtɪ] n pl -ties 1. the quality of being impartial or reasonable; fairness 2. an impartial or fair act, decision, etc.   Either I care and he doesn't or he cares and I don't. This led me (recently) to tell a really nice man goodbye to be with (what turned out to be) a not so nice man. Who said, incidently, "he was NOT a player" and asked "do you want to go steady?". Then cancelled a date and disappeared. So I guess this is karma. And a vicious circle.
