I've had the occasion recently to speak with a few new women. Not new to the world, just to me. It's come to me through the grapevine that my dating disasters are good reading although sometimes painful for me. Foregoing my own mental health, I give you a simple but sad story.
Yesterday morning, I got an email from Chemistry.com, that Judy was interested in me. Who might she be? So I clicked and scrolled and clicked some more, going through the dance of love on my laptop. Suddenly, a funny looking lady aged 59 was staring at me through my computer screen. Funny looking but tall and thin reminding me of Debra, my ex-wife, although she wasn't funny looking. Same hair style and basic physique. Strange what motivates us, well me anyway. So I clicked that I was interested too!
I don't think 5 minutes when by and I got another message from the service, that Judy wants to know some things about me. I answer her 6 questions, as sarcastically as I can and let her know how silly this routine created by Chemistry.com, really is. About 2 minutes later, I get a smart-ass reply and I well deserved it. I like this! Soon another email arrives and this one is pleasant, informative, factual and I'm thinking that Judy may indeed be a real person. We exchange emails for the rest of the days and I'm developing a new respect for Judy. She has a few acres up in Troon and lives alone and is self employed and has another office in the Bay area. She loves animals, has been married twice and has a grown daughter. Those, believe it of not, are real qualifications. (But still funny looking) I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt, everyone has a bad picture and looks better in reality. Right? She has another picture where she is wearing sun glasses and looks okay. I decided if I like her, we can have her eyes operated on to make them closer together, or perhaps a head vice?
She eventually sends me her phone number sighting her possession of multiple phones, cell phones, laptops, desktops and a CB radio. I called late last night to a smoker's voice that was so self absorbed that we never did discuss me. She told me she was married twice, for 2 years each and doesn't need a man in her life, that she's completely self sufficient and doesn't even want a man, except for sometimes when she's lonely, but is seldom lonely because her days are so full and happy.
I'm listening to her and analysing her real meaning and getting, someone come and help me, I'm so lonely but cannot give up and show dependence on someone else because they'll take advantage of me. She was sounding strong and assertive and terribly wounded. Sitting there listening to her, I made a decision. After a brief pause in our conversation, I said there really isn't any reason for us to be talking. You just told me that you have everything in life that you want and it does not include others, so I'll just say goodbye and wish you luck. She replied, okay, well you've got my number, if you feel like meeting for coffee after mulling it over, give me a call. I said goodbye and deleted her number! And she was on a dating service because.......?

Oh Mel...
See--this is why I don't do the online thing. People look awesome and turn out to be fake or they look like ass and then you just can't get yourself to be interested. At our age, what is really attractive? I mean, since usually our looks are gone, what is that THING that makes us interested? I don't really know...but for me, it's usually a strange thing that cannot be seen on a computer screen. I was once attracted to a man because there was something about his hands, and the line of his shoulders...and yes, I know how stupid that sounds. So...I just think the whold song and dance we do is futile. What do YOU look for when you are checking out a new woman? I know she needs to be very sarcastically witty, but what-physically?
Happy Sunday. Thank you for stopping by my place. :)
