--ditsy seeking machismo--

There should be a dating site where instead of listing your "selling points" people post their shortcomings. Most can agree there's a good side and a bad side to everyone. It's just that when people become attracted to one another they discover a negative quirk that they either can or cannot live with. When choosing to be friends with certain co-workers I find myself unconsciously choosing those that I can deal with their downside the best. Wouldn't it solve a lot of problems? It would minimize undesirable surprises and maximize pleasant surprises. Actually this goes against all human tendencies and innate desire. But I'm sure there's a guy out there that looks like a Zack Morris, doesn't know how to clean up after himself, expects a woman to cook, and loves cars more than anything. Nobody would mention this on eharmony.com; if this comes as a surprise, in the end there would be no matrimony for this man or there would be a foreseeable divorce. Isn't it good to know why in general you're not perfect? If it's acknowledged you're half-way there to solving it (although my shopping habits have been well acknowledged for years). At least it creates a window of communication where absence of recognition means it doesn't exist for that person. If acknowledged, what's annoying to some can be quite charming to others. People change; often times they don't. This site would be for all the unperfect people who are I suppose finished with their youthful flighty romance stage and ready to move on to a lifelong investment of their devotion. But I guess if you don't want kids, you can do whatever the heck you want.

Good Hunting.

Small Talk

Small talk is just about as comfortable as a pap smear. Like visits to the woman doctor, getting my hair cut is something that has to be done periodically. I dread the questions, and as I emit my awkwardness it tends to unnerve those I'm conversing with. My experience has been that the more money I spend on a haircut, the more likely the stylist can hold their part and my part of the conversation. "Did you just come from work?" here we go... I feel bad at the end of it all, I take a quick glance at my new do and I dash out of there like I have a kid to pick up at daycare. I slam a huge tip and hope it makes up for a graceless thirty minutes or leave a little bit of mystery.
