Make Mine A Double
October 10th, 2009Actually, I don’t think we’re in an “I told you so” situation here. This is unexpected, coming from me, the ultimate hater of blind dates. I was 100% ready to not only say I told you so, I also looked forward to hearing one of your classic nightmare date stories because they are usually so damn funny. But, it sounds to me like you didn’t have such a bad time after all. In fact, it sounds like a pretty damn good time was had by all. Two good looking guys, two hot women, drinks and laughter – nice work if you can get it, in my opinion.
Now, let me stop right here and say the least attractive thing to a man? A woman with no confidence. Extra Large Jerk IS a jerk, and if you still really believe anything that dumb-ass had to say, then you’re not the woman I thought you were. So get over that whole bruised ego shit and move on with it.
Being that I’m more like your friend’s date, with the divorce and the kids – “baggage” as you call it, I get what you mean about set-ups suiting each other. You may have been more physically attracted to her date, but I guarantee you wouldn’t have wanted to sit talking about his divorce and his kids all night. It’s always a tough call when someone doesn’t share your interests, unless she’s just smoking hot and you don’t need her to speak. Just kidding.
There is something to be said for the never-married types to mate, and the divorcees to hook up… The woman I’m currently dating is divorced (almost) with kids. And you’re right, she totally gets me. She gets when I have to pick up my kids from school, or answer my phone when they call, or not make plans for the weekend until I hear from them. She gets it, and by her getting it, I dig her that much more. More on that later — maybe.
When in doubt, you should always hook up with the funny, single guy with no “baggage.” You’ll be glad you did. You guys can fall in love, talking about your careers and sports and traveling. You can get married, and pop out a few kids. Then when you get divorced and have “baggage,” you can move on to the guys like us; you know, the sexy as hell ones, with salt and pepper hair and long lanky bodies.
Guys everywhere are throwing out their boxes of “Just For Men.” Who knew chicks dug the salt and pepper? Thanks for the tip.
