Me too, more or less. But in my case, they think they're being kind.

I've been flat out told that the population that would find me as an attractive mate is really very small.

Me too. I hear that as well. I'm okay with being alone in a way I wasn't before, but it'd be nice to find someone, you know?

I feel like my hypocrisy is being angry that people i think are beneath me intelligence-wise are insulting by thinking they have a shot with me. I mean, I am sure that there are lots of people who think I'm beneath them physically-attractiveness-wise, are they angry when i send them a wink?

I don't know. Maybe it's unfair to be angry.

I don't have anything to add to this topic except that I am happy with my level of picky. Which is very very very.

ION, holy hell, I've got to run a tour of muckity mucks because my bosses are all going to be gone. Do not want. And am getting butterflies about inviting people over after work tomorrow. Must hit send. lisah, please be there to hold my hand.

Really msbelle? Gee but aren't people assholes sometimes?

Also? I think this country is really big on telling women how much they suck and how crappy their odds are of finding either love or happiness. There's a whole industry out there that feeds that kind of thinking.

more than one, actually.

I'll not argue that the population may be small. I will argue that I shouldn't be surprised.

I think I'm fabulous and so are most of the choices I make - it wouldn't make sense for me to be anything other than surprised that people don't want to be a part of it.

When I look out do I see a lot of me-ness? - nsm, and yet always, surprised.

And I should add the caveat that yeah, we're hard on men too in this country.

God, people are rude and just mean. What kind of shitheel tells someone this kind of crap?

Oh yeah. I'm with you there, msbelle. I have an awesome job I mostly love, work for people I adore in an industry that fills me with wonder and excitement. I'm a published author. I've had television characters named after me by my fave tv writer. My friends rock, my family is pretty neat, and I think my life is fairly interesting.

I'm a good friend, not so hard on the eyes, have a sense of style, and I'm pretty damned funny. These are all true things.

Tim always says I'm a catch and is amazed that I have so much trouble in this area, and I trust his opinion on such things.

I'm surprised by it, too.

Did I post here when I was rejected as a client by a matchmaker?

Anyway, you only need one! (Or whatever...)
