The Experiments....

Recently, Single Chick and I visited Seattle. To sum it up our trip was amazing! Seattle is beautiful, friendly and the men talk to you! In the 5 days that we were there we talked to so many men that by the end of the trip we were all talked out.

On this trip we learned:
1) Our Single status would change within a month if we lived in the US
2) We need to sit at the bar

We chatted with JJ the bartender at the Whiskey Bar, and he told us that since we are sitting at the bar it means we are open to conversation. If we had sat in a booth we would be sending out that message that we do not want to be bothered. Hmmm such simple logic, I have no idea why we never thought of this. We have always sat away from the bar, though we are putting ourselves out there we have been sending out the wrong message.

Or were the guys in Seattle talking to us because we were from another city? If we pretended to be tourist in our city would the same thing happen? Or is there something to JJ’s bar theory?

We have decided that in the next month we will:

1) Hit the pub scene after work one Friday and sit at the bar, will someone chat with us?
2) Go to the bar and pretend we are tourist?

I hate to be pessimistic because it is not usually my way but I think as tourist we will be a big hit.

What do you think?

Cheers!

Online Dating...WTF?

Well it is not 1.5 months later on eHarmony and there is still no improvement in my dating life. Online dating seems to be an outlet for the socially challenged or the over the top romantic ( A.K.A The Cheese Ball).

For the socially challenged, eHarmony is great because you have to communicate by sending sets of questions to the woman of interest. It gives these poor socially challenged males security. They can communicate with numerous women and never have it go anywhere. Yet at the same time it fills their delusions that they are out there socializing and are actually quite the stud because they have been chatting with 3 potential matches.

Then there is the guy that puts down that “creating romance in a relationship” is one of his best life skills!? What the hell does that mean, seriously is that to impress the ladies? If that is your greatest life skill, then why are you single? It just makes me think that he’s the guy who’s always hanging off of you, who can’t just chill and have a drink without having candles and a fire. In my experience, guys that go out of their way to create romance have nothing else to offer. Everything is over the top because they don’t know how to do the little things.

This is the worst type of guy because they live out this fantasy in their heads then when reality hits and their fantasy doesn’t match the illusion, it’s all downhill from there. At this point the self-absorbed ass comes out and all he does is whine and complain because you should be blown away by the trail of rose petals leading to your car. PLEASE!!!! I rather someone hold my hair back after having had 1 tequila shot too many on a night out with the girls. Now that’s romance!!

Lets not forget the guys that don’t post a picture, I know he’s probably thinking “if that special someone is serious about meeting someone then they should not worry about what a person looks like”…actually Jack Ass we do worry! Posting a picture gives us a sense of who you are, a smile does say a thousand words, besides, why should you be able to check out everyone else’s pictures but they can’t look at you! PREVERT!

Now my favorite is the guy that only puts up a picture of his abs. What are you trying to say with this picture? Are you seriously looking for a relationship or a booty call? If it’s a booty call I have two words for you ‘Lave Life”.

You’re probably wondering where I fit in on eHarmony…to be honest I’m not sure. I am in no means socially challenged and nor is one of my life skills “creating romance in a relationship”. However back in the day I have held the hair of one or two of my long haired rock star wanna be boyfriends after he had one tequila shot too many. So maybe I do create romance??!! Oh no I’m just another Cheese Ball! I guess I should change my profile and put a picture up of my ass which looks great in my Lulu Lemons. Hell if you can’t beat em, join em!!

Cheers!
