The Groomer

That's what I am... I'm a groomer... I date a guy for a while and then we break up and he marries the next woman girl after me.  This has been happening since I was in high school except they weren't marrying girls back then, they were just getting them pregnant.  I chalked that up to me not putting out and them being crazy horny and sleeping with the next girl after me and therefore knocking them up!! 

I wonder if I'm grooming them into being a groom... I wonder if it's something I do or say that flips a switch and makes them put a 'ring on it' if they so much as like the next gal...

The past bunch of guys I was infatuated with gave me the same line, 'You are so great, you are going to make some guy sooooo happy.  You are the total package, you are smart, successful, fun, we love all the same things...etc.  but I'm looking for something different'.  LIKE WHAT???  Because they all ended up marrying the big-titted, dim-witted, tire-biting losers who are all pregnant now and have them and their wallets by the nutsack!  All the guys that gave me this line are now so unhappy, staying in hotel rooms to get away from their unsuccessful relationships, they are even calling fun, smart, successful me to fill some void!  EFF OFF! 

Maybe I should come with a warning, 'If you date me, you will have a ton of fun and we'll get along great but you will leave me for a tart and your life will suck!'.  I wish I could say this isn't true, but it is.

That is all.

Dumbing it Down...?

I know for a fact that unintelligent men make me run in the opposite direction.  He doesn't have to be a brain surgeon or a rocket scientist but he must be at least able to carry on a conversation.  I know that text messaging is all the rage right now but if you are going to text me and you use the words, 'to, too, two, you're, your, there, their & they're' incorrectly, you will throw me into a major fit of rage!  (This goes for my female friends too!)  If you can get those words straight, you've won my heart forever!  ;)

I am proud to say I run with a very intelligent and socially savvy group of women who are beautiful inside and out.  A guy friend recently told me that approaching a group of women like that can be terrifying.  I get that, I would feel intimidated if the roles were reversed. 

But what about beyond the group?  Let me paint two pictures for you, tell me what you would do... 

First scenario, you strike up a conversation with a visually attractive/hot woman in a coffee shop... In a few short minutes, you find out she has successful career (maybe more successful than you), she's a bright, well-spoken and witty intellectual.  Do you run or do you ask her out? 

Ok, second scenario, same coffee shop, same visually attractive/hot woman... Within minutes you find out she's unaccomplished, dim-witted, inarticulate with very little to contribute to the conversation.  Do you run or do you ask her out?  Remember... she's hot...

What's the verdict?  Should I try both scenarios this weekend and see which of the two personalities gets the call?

Yada... Yada... Yada...

Ok, so ummm… a friend of mine…had a one night stand with a guy in December... Blah blah blah... I can honestly say it's not a common occurance in her life.  She thought for sure that would be it, she would never hear from him again and spent the next day feeling bad and disgusted in herself for her drunkard behaviour.  Then low and behold, he 'texted' the next day to ask if she wanted to kill her hangover with him... OMG YES!!! Buuuut, unfortunately she was already killing her hangover at work... so she had to bail... :(  

They continued to 'text' back and forth for a few days when he asked her what her plans were for New Years Eve.  Well HOLY SHIT!  She had no plans.   They made plans for Dec. 31st... She said it was great, he made a fab dinner, drank amazing wine, cuddled, yada yada yada… She left the next day...

The 'texting' continued for one month with no phone calls or face-to-face conversations.  Yep, one month!!  Then on January 29th... after some playful 'texts' he invited her out for dinner... She obliged, and again, they enjoyed a fab dinner, drank amazing wine, cuddled, yada yada yada... She left the next day...

Well guess what???  They continued to 'text' with still no real live conversations and skip ahead one month to the end of February... and guess who wants to hang out?  Yup... She agreed to make him dinner... I think you can guess how it will go... yada yada mother f#*king yada...  

But tell me, what are your thoughts?  My personal thoughts are... She already gets one monthly visitor... why the hell should she entertain another???

Thank you Cameron….

Let me start out by saying thank you to Cameron for his comment yesterday. My blog is written for fun and amusement yet mostly for your feedback, so I really do appreciate it.  Bring on the comments!  I also don’t want to come across as a cynical, pessimistic, and untrusting woman who hates men; as I’m quite the opposite; I am confident, very optimistic and hopeful and I LOVE men. 

I had something else in mind for what I’d write about today but instead I’d like to respond to Cameron first. J 

First and foremost, how do you know I won’t meet my soul mate in a bar…? I drink socially and I want to ensure that my partner does as well.  Ha Ha!  People always say, ‘You should go hang out at Chapters, you’ll meet a guy there for sure.’  Umm… The only books I read are self-help books and there’s usually only women hanging around that area.  Eek!  I’ve explored many, many avenues; I spend my time at sporting events, comedy festivals and concerts etc. therefore surrounding myself with all the things I enjoy and my attempts always turn futile. 

Just so you know, some of the books that live in my home and are read frequently consist of the following… ‘The Secret’(which I also have in audio), ‘The Soulmate Secret’ and many, many more books of this nature.  I live ‘The Secret’.  I visualize my soul mate and all of his wonderful attributes and qualities; he’s my kind of handsome, he loves family and friends, he is really funny, a handyman and ambitious.  I meditate and do exercises to create ‘feelingizations’ of what it will feel like when I meet my soul mate and spend the rest of my life with him.  I’ve even written letters to the people that have hurt me to forgive them.  I’ve opened myself to love in every single, possible way.  Trust me when I say, I’m a strong believer in ‘The Secret’.  I know I will meet the man of my dreams. 

I trust the universe; but in all honesty I’m not getting any younger.  I am very active in my community and have a very eclectic group of friends from all walks of life.  All those friends know that I want to share my life with someone and therefore are always looking but to no avail.  Vancouver is a tough ‘market’.  That’s my point.  I wasn’t being negative in my first blog, I was only pointing out the obvious lack of decent men in Vancouver!  I love myself very much, I know I deserve true love and I will have it.  I know my soul mate is out there getting ready to meet me and vice-versa. 

Signed,

Secretly Waiting ;)

Just a Quick Intro...

I'm a successful, non-smoking, non-ugly, no baggage single girl in Vancouver and I'm so frustrated with the the lack of decent men in Vancouver and it's surrounding areas so I've decided to start a blog about it.

Let me start out by saying that there are definately more women than men here. For example, my girlfriends and I went out to a few local bars and restaurants in Yaletown last weekend and at one point I looked around and noticed that I was surrounded by other groups of girls and there were about ten men scattered throughout us all. When I looked deeper around the room, I noticed that many of the men had wedding bands on!!! Where are all the single men???? Come out, Come out, wherever you are!!! But seriously, is there a secret place that successful, non-smoking, non-ugly, no baggage single men hang out?

Which leads me to my next point... The random single men that are out these days are jerks. I think that because they can have their pick out of dozens of beautiful women due to the horrific guy/girl ratio, they feel that they can be assholes and treat women like they are disposable. This is unfair! They should be the ones sitting at home, waiting for our calls, wondering if we're interested! But unfortunately if you aren't interested in them, they laugh and say, 'Neeexxxt!'. This is so wrong. I've even read about a guy that told his friend in Toronto to come to Vancouver and 'line up for the buffet of women, they'll sleep with you on the first date hoping you will fall in love with them'. To that I say, 'WHAT?!!!!!'.

I'm just so frustrated and would love some feedback.
