Wookin pa nub in aw de wong paces.
Kim posts about his happiness to be out of the dating pool, and I couldn’t agree more.
Fact is, for guys like Kim and I, and probably a lot of you out there, dating is the ultimate in salesmanship. We have to sell our attributes in a way that makes them endearing, and I have to say, that’s a pig what needs a bucketload of lipstick. And a couple pounds of bondo. And maybe a bra and a girdle.
The ultimate goal, of course, is to marry dramatically above ourselves. To be wed to a woman who is our superior physically, mentally, emotionally, and if possible who has a saner and more normal family than ours. Money is good too. The evolutionary advantages alone are huge- but the reality is, pimping my big ass out as some kind of prize is a task of no minor difficulty.
Lets face it: If I got what I deserved, I’d be married to a crack whore with no teeth and bad odors emanating from every orifice, who takes potshots at me every once in a while with my own guns, and regularly stabs me in my sleep.
Instead I managed, like Kim, to attract a woman who is an absolute doll; a woman who still gives me serious wood to see her naked, a good mother and wife, a joy to go to sleep next to, and wake up next to.
And I pray every night that she never comes to her senses.
I’ve plied Kelly with cheap baubbles and wine. It seems to be working so far.
See – THIS is why I just think you ROCK Og! Seriously……
Oh, and for the record? Yeah, the dating thing SUCKS ASS. I don’t even consider myself in the game……
Lucky woman. What a sweet, sentimental man you are.

So nice… :-)
You are obviously a prize… but, you are assuming adult, unattached men still want to get married. Not true.
They just want fun at their convenience. Yes, dating sucks.
Dating?? Isn’t that something they do with tree rings and carbon 14?
Og, you nailed this one on the head. Hell I married up. I’m still not sure exactly how KTreva ever fell for my sales pitch, but I’m thinking she was bored and looking for a project.
Dating? Ha. If I were to find myself single again, dating would be one of the last things I’d want to do.
Raising my kids without interruption would be #1, followed closely by FREEDOM (picture said a la William Wallace as played by Mel Gibson)… ;)
BTW, big time kudos for the Eddie-Murphy-as-Buckwheat reference. Al Sharpton will be by shortly to decry you as racist.
Love it! My husband would agree with you 1000%. Love it when both parties recognize they got themselves a catch, and hope that the drugs that their partner must have been taking don’t wear off anytime soon. (That or any sharp blows to the head to bring them to their senses.)
Oh and as for dating, I told DH that if he EVER makes me get back into that cesspool, I’ll find a way to haunt and torment him well into the next life. Ick! Sucked wet socks when I had to do it, why would I want to go back?!
“…and if possible who has a saner and more normal family than ours.”
Thank heaven my husband didn’t take that into consideration or I’d be living by myself. *grin*
“And I pray every night that she never comes to her senses.”
I think she’d say she did come to her senses when she found such a terrific man and hung onto him.

You broads are all nuts. Have you LOOKED at me?
Yes. I have looked at you.Not a bad sight if I do say so myself.And “us broads” are smarter than you think and we have great vision. I better stop before I get in too deep.
