If everyone looking to date is so wonderful then why would they be available? Why would they insist on dating the same type of duds over and over and over? Heck, if I was so wonderful, why would I settle for you?

Keep overlooking what IS there, keep on searching for what will never BE there...then whine about how "Mr. Shallow-but-oh-so-cute dumped me after we had sex."

Monogamous, if it ever got to that stage. But it won't. 'Cause I'm not perfect, or "good enough," or you're not gonna "settle" while Mr. All That is out there waiting for you. I am fairly competent in the kitchen, good with a grill, mostly adequate with carpentry/electrical/lawncare/etc (years of building and heavy machinery maintenance). Domesticated and potty-trained, capable of having an embarrassment-free evening with your parents, your boss, your priest, your pets, or whomever you decide to throw out there as a test.

Who am I kidding? You'll go for for the multiple-baby-daddy with prison tattoos, several addictions and no job...he just needs the right woman to settle him down, and you're it. You know you are. Plus you get to beat out all his other girls - you win!

Go shopping for a puppy and a vibrator. With your basic needs for slavish attention and unlimited fun met, perhaps we could then get to know each other.
