It's all too true. When I was single (3 years ago) I often met single women in churches who would tell me there were no good guys - right after I saw them brush off a good guy who approached them!
How funny or not. Just happened to me. At church. There was a hot little spanish gal I had the wanted to talk to. My age. Single. A little roughed up seeing that we are 60 now. But nope. As soon as I spoke and announced my name she audibly shrieked or groaned or something like that. Just like the movie. To let me know I crossed the line on being overly friendly. I hate talking to single girls at church. And single guys are treated as poisonous in group settings there. Bottom line is if you are a attractive woman who people like to look at I don't qualify to be around you. I know, I am a blabber mouth. I don't care. The woman who looks like a old shoe are the ones I talk to now. Proven fact: If I flirt with older walmart cashiers they accidently forget to charge me for stuff like fishing poles and motor oil. Happens over and over. They appreciate the attention and interest I give them. And this is from over 20 years of being a divorced man in congregational settings.
I'm still looking for a Rancher Girl with big arms who can split fire wood.

ReplyDeleteI feel for guys in your situation.
DeleteEvery thinking guy who is married to a good woman realizes that luck (or God) had much to do with it.
