I've got nothing....!

I would like to point out that the "I'm cranky" rant, when done properly, is an art form.

But even that one acronyms out to S.A.D. --

We may just thwart that voodoo priest after all!

But let's not tell him....

Everybody's mom thinks I'm cute. That's what I get for mocking that voodoo priest....

As Freud said, "Sometimes a wombat is just a wombat."

I do note, with some trepidation, that "wombat" does contain the word "womb."

No problem! I hope she likes Arby's....!

My parents have been dead for many years, so conversation on that subject is usually very brief.



Agreed, I'd prefer someone who had something with a little substance to say. Compliments are great but I'm more interested in being understood.



The cleavage shots always strike me as desperate and pathetic. Of course, I'm not a boob guy, so a cleavage pic is just slightly less likely to draw me in than a pic of a wombat wearing a kimono.



One of the bizarre things that I've noticed in past relationships is that their mothers almost always end up liking me more than my girlfriends do. This is just wrong, and indicates that the world is a completely messed-up place.



I never ever have any trouble coming up with something to say. But most of my exes had the intellectual/conversational skills of a 17th century umbrella stand, so things ended up being boring and one-sided. And, after three months, all any of them wanted to talk about was how much they needed to have a baby.

Good morning, although technically it's afternoon here now!

1. Getting divorced.

2. Becoming a writer.

That's about it....

I never saw it as a situation where I needed to do something to impress someone. The decision to be impressed (or not) is something that she's going to generate (or not) internally -- if I have to do any steering or "impressing" or manipulating, it's all sort of pointless.

As it's been a number of years since I've been in that situation, I suppose nowadays I could mention my writing. But only if she initiates the topic.

Seeing as how I have no plans to ever get married again, I think this would present a serious problem!

I think there's a corollary of Murphy's Law that says the ones you want to hear from are never the ones who actually contact you. That's been my experience, anyway....!

Nope, I will be all alone, working on my next book, just like every other day....

I have not been able to find a suitable partner on the internet, but there are plenty of other reasons to be here....

OK, dating WITH sex can be just as much of a waste of time.

As far as the whole "genetic attraction based on perpetuation of the species" argument goes, I have no interest in that at all -- not only do I have no interest in reproducing, but women who display the colloquially-termed "breeder" physiques do absolutely nothing for me in terms of physical attraction.

Is this because of my "thought process" though? I'm not entirely sure -- there is a conscious awareness of it, yes, but my predisposition towards non-reproduction goes back farther than my ability to dissect it as a psychological phenomenon. So maybe there's an element in there somewhere that has roots in something more genetic than intellectual. I really couldn't say for sure.

I wish you could, too!
