The *only* way? I've never explicitly looked for it, but have had periods of it dropping unasked into my lap.

On a regular basis?

I would imagine that's easier for the attractive, but still -- you can be as hot as you want and sitting at home alone isn't going to get you laid, is part of what I'm saying.

I mostly just seem to attract Nice Guys. And they're so angry.

Me, too. I get "nice guys" who are angsty. My mantra for the dating in the future will be "under 50, no angst". The rest is negotiable. (My last two boyfriends were 15 years older. Not too bad when I was 30, but seriously I am not ready to date people nearing retirement now.)

but have had periods of it dropping unasked into my lap.

Here is how my mind works: I envisioned naked Taye Diggs falling from the sky (much like Angel did in that one episode) and landing on your lap, whereupon you remarked, "Well, hel-LO there!"

Make of that what you will. And if it ever happens, share pictures of naked Taye Diggs, please.

When I was single, I attracted guys who were smart, nice and funny, and who wanted to be my friend so they could ask for my advice with the girls they actually liked.

On a regular basis?

Yup. It wasn't extended, but it was regular.

Yeah. I gotta get out more. Unfortunately, none of my single friends are interested in prying themselves out of the house, either.

I used to attract alcoholics and problem drinkers. Now it seems to be people with control issues and a certain level of OCD. ::shrugs:: Ooo, I did date that one Nice Guy who turned epically nasty after we broke up, including the immortal email to my sister - "Tell your fat bitch of a sister she's better off sticking with dykes, and the same goes for you." (the memory of which message now cracks me up to no end)

I know cookies are following me around

Oh, yeah. Two weeks ago, I was getting ads for Lifetime and Bally's, and now I'm getting all car ads.

Speaking of, I'm finally picking up my Mazda3 tonight! Signed all the paperwork on Saturday, and they're delivering the car from the Rockford dealership today. Monthly payments are going to be $9 more than I expected due to the fact that when they told me that I was eligible for 0% financing, they lied, and then when they said I would be getting $500 back since I didn't qualify for the 0% financing, they lied again. But, I did end up with 2.8%, so I can't complain too much, and I did resist firmly when they kept pushing their various warranties and maintenance packages at me. The only extras I got were the iPod cable to control my iPod through the steering wheel, and the remote starter which will make the car much warmer for me in the winter and cooler in the summer.

Awww. Do you think all that misogyny keeps him warm at night and makes him eggs in the morning?

She's not sitting around waiting to be tapped on the head by the chosen schlong. She has to like him too, and the topic has to come up.

Actually, that's my point. They are billing her as this girl who is just trying to go out and get laid, but she's having soooooo much trouble.
