To begin this story, I'll first share with you the text of my online personal ad narrative:
-----------------
Settling into my latest job as a customer service rep for an insurance company. I'm very content with having my own living space in the city, and love eating organic foods and enjoying natural health. Have thought deeply about what my wants and needs are in a relationship, and about my unique things to offer. I like dance-pop music, cruising, dancing, computers, reading interesting articles, walking for an hour at Lake Hefner, and thinking. Am honest, down-to-earth, sensitive, sweet, creative. Am an individualist and feminist, and just enjoy being myself.
Searching for that independent, self-assured sweetheart -- a woman who isn't afraid to live her life for *her*. Must be confident, intelligent, candid, and attractive. Should share my individualistic relationship values and my passion for dance-pop music!
-----------------
Next, I'll show a short "brainstorming" tidbit I wrote awhile back. When occasionally meeting a local woman online, and after we've exchanged a few "icebreaker" e-mails, I often share this piece with her:
-----------------
Here's a fun topic to ponder: What's so great about having a relationship with you? In what unique ways can someone enjoy a relationship with *you*, which they might not be able to enjoy with most other people? What makes you so special (i.e., different in a positive way) for a person to be in love with?
As for me...
She would be able to live for *her* and not get chastised for it (as long as she doesn't lie to me or cheat, or keep secrets from me). She would enjoy positive encouragement to think for herself -- to question anything and everything in her own unique way -- wherever it leads. She would *never* be expected to "change" her nature or her needs.
She wouldn't have to worry about going through pregnancy, childbirth, or raising little rascals, nor would she need any kind of birth control. (I've already had a vasectomy and don't have any kids.)
She'd never be expected to cook for me, or to perform all of the housework by herself. We'd either dine out or fix ourselves simple meals (or cook a meal together), and we'd *both* clean our house or apartment occasionally. Also, I have a tendency *not* to slop around or make messes, and almost always clean up after myself.
She wouldn't have to worry about her weight (as long as she doesn't become very obese, such as >300 lbs), since I adore the pleasantly-plump figure and I care significantly more about a cute face than a "perfect" body. She could relax and eat as much as she wants, and I'd be lying with her on the couch feeding & kissing her!
And while she's lying on that couch, she'd never have to go through the trouble of painting her fingernails or toenails, because I would always do it for her as often as she wants -- kissing each finger and toe as I go!
She practically never would be bombarded with body odor from me, because my organic lifestyle produces very little B.O. or bad breath. She could hang out and cuddle with me in peace without aromatic annoyance.
She would experience the greatest dance-pop, hard & soft rock, and country-pop music of the '70s, '80s, '90s, & '00s with my collection of over 400 albums containing more than 5,000 songs, along with great sound systems in my living room and car. Even when we're making love!
Finally, she'd always have a warm set of arms to fall into when she's feeling anxious, frustrated, or hurt. She could discuss difficult issues with me in the safest setting possible: sitting down together holding hands and partially embracing each other, while never being criticized or judged during the dialogue.
There you are....
-----------------
(I'd also like to mention that I work at a large call center where 60 percent of the employees are women, and when appropriate, I'll casually mention to my co-workers that I'm single and looking. I also enjoy frequenting local dance clubs every few weeks that play disco and '80s/'90s pop -- where two-thirds of the patrons are usually women -- and spend most of my time on the dancefloor without drinking alcohol.)
So anyway at this point, you might be thinking that a guy like me "probably has it made" among American women, right?
Well, it has now been 176 months since my last girlfriend. How could this happen?
