The girls my friend Wendy works with have posted a personal ad for her. They gave a very good description of her and what she was looking for in someone she would consider dating: must have a long-term stable employment, must have his own place, and must be between 45 and 52. Wendy, like many women in their 40’s and 50’s looking to date, has a problem finding a man who can keep a job, or a place to live. I can’t tell you how many of my single friends have this problem. We’re so tired of men wanting us to take care of them. It’s not just cleaning and cooking anymore, it’s housing, paying bills and spending money! This is the major contributing factor us still being single. We’ve raised our kids, kicked out our deadbeat husbands. We’re ready for mature relationships with people that can and do take care of themselves. -- I hear all my sisters out there saying, “Amen! and Halleluiah!!”
Often people see a women in her 40’s, or older, who appear to have things well in hand and figures there must be something wrong, or she would be married. Guys figure she’s a real ball-buster or a lesbian, of course. If expecting a grown man to be able to take care of himself is being a ball-buster, then I guess we are.
As for being a lesbian, I’ve often thought how much easier that would be. I know a good number of lesbians, all with good jobs, long-term employment records, and their own places. Unfortunately I just can’t swing that way, I’m just too attracted to men, damn it!
Of course there are probably men out there wondering where are the women that aren’t looking for a man to take care of them. Women who can take care of themselves. Apparently we’re living in parallel universes, or on different plans of reality. And you know what that means……. we are not going to hook up until we all get sucked into a black hole. What are the odds it’ll be the right black hole?
