Was just inspired by Clark, and and entry on his Single Dad blog to post a hilarious personal I once saw on Craigslist. It was so funny I actually e-mailed it to my sister.
Here goes:
“I stopped smoking July 1st, 2007.
I enjoy procrastinating.
I drink far less alcohol then the average person.
I don’t care for sports or animals.
I believe it’s okay to spit.
I hate studying.
I use only paper plates, disposable cups, and plasticware.
I prefer to cut my own hair.
I sleep 10-12 hrs a night.
I go to bed after midnight.
I haven’t seen my parents in ten years.
I’m very organized and neat.
I rearrange my money so that all the Presidents face the same way.
I reconsider things indefinitely before making a decision.
I like Oriental Noodle Soups.
I hate Rap/R&B.
I hate Marijuana.
I’d like to meet someone that lives close to me or has transportation. If you have personality issues please leave me alone.”
Isn’t that priceless?

The adventure continues.
My single mama friend has already been on date #1 from Yahoo Personals. The man in question had so many things in common with her. They both love reading, writing, the same bar scene, etc. She followed my advice, met for coffee, and had a wonderful time. But there was no spark. Alas, just like old-fashioned blind dates the odds of catching a spark are tough. Her first question – so how do I tell him? The answer:
How to Break Up, Virtually (with an e-mail, of course).
Dear Mr. Online Dater
I had so much fun chatting with you over coffee, but I just didn’t feel that spark I was looking for. You are such an amazing person and I really hope you find your special someone. Thanks again and good luck!
Sincerely, Ms Single Mama

It’s been over a year and a half now of pure singleness and in that time I’ve been dating.
Trying all of my options, refusing to shut any doors based on age, looks or personality quirks. I’ve dated men of all ages..26, 31, 33, 37, 38 and even 47! I’m 28.
The 47 year old was an incredibly interesting single father but there was no spark.The 37 year old calls himself a monk and can’t actually be with women physically. The 31 year old had an addiction to porn. The 26 year old wouldn’t or couldn’t stop talking about himself. The list goes on and on…
I have found that no matter what the age – they all have issues. But, as they age, these “issues” become even more solidified and the chances of changing or maybe correcting them are slim to none. If they’ ve been single for most of their adult life – what are the odds they’re finally going to take the plunge and “settle down.” [click to continue…]

A new study suggests men die before women because they are natural polygamists. Meaning, that during cave man days, polygamy was the norm – not monogamy. All of the competition for women and lots and lots of sex wore those poor guys out and they still die earlier because of it.

My fellow single mama friend just broke up with her boyfriend.
Trying to distract herself from the drama of yet another failed relationship – she jumped online. Online to the land of hope…where single men await by the hundreds. I talked to her last night as she checked out profile after profile – “Oh, he’s super cute. Oh! Here’s another one! Oh my god, he just chatted me.” This morning, gave her another call, “hello???” She sounds exhausted.
“I’ve been up all night online…20 guys have e-mailed me already!” And many of them sound very promising. Her site of choice – Yahoo Personals. So… we’ll live vicariously through her for a few weeks and I’ll keep you posted. But, if she’s had that many potential matches already – that’s a damn good sign. [click to continue…]
