How did I get here?

If you had asked me 20 years ago that I would be the one; I would be the woman -- "that woman"-- that's 42 years old and man-less.

20 years ago, I was a hot lil' number. I had my choice of men. Of course, at that time, I didn't really care much that they were not so savory, but there was a slew of them. And they kept comin'....like buses. Hell...It was like that just 2 years ago. Now...Nothin! What the hell is going on???

In the last year, I have dated (if you really want to call it that) the full monty of men:

• The Granola/Bike/Ex-Thuggy Chef Dude (I still like him...he takes his ghetto superstar status seriously---LMAO!)
• The I'm the King of Cowtown (a.k.a. Fresno) I got a little money and I am so proud of myself I could burst. I am so boring and full of myself that I can't hold on to a woman but that's because I shouldn't have to. All the women in Fresno know me and love me because they think I'm a good catch so why should I really attempt court a woman Guy.
• The Bitter Nice-Guys-Finish-Last Poster Child
• The Baby-Booming-Barber from Hik-town USA ( And by the way, I'm married, living separately, but not legally separated. But I still love you guy... *I still think I should call Thuggy Chef to get Da-Da and dem after this guy*
• The Married Republican (who just happens to be my first boyfriend in life- we were 10 yrs old)
• The I-think-I'll-attempt-to-date-someone-my-own-age-for-a-change guy
• The I-think-I'll-date-within-my-race-and-throw-the-fuzzy-headed-bad-ass-young-kids-at-this-woman-that's-a-grandmother guy. And by the way...I'm still married but I'm not gonna tell her.
• The I love you even though we only met on the INTERNET and I have never laid eyes on you.

I don't even think I have captured all of them but those are the most significant. With that said...what a bunch! Is this the best I can come up with? Obviously, I am fishing in the wrong pond. What's that you say? There's only one pond and it's contaminated? Yeah...I think you're right.

I have now thrown all caution to the wind and have decided to get on Match.com or something of that nature. Blackpeoplemeet.com....Hell...I may go on the prison dating site, because I tell ya. This sucks!

This past new year's eve, I found out just how much it sucked. I have never wanted to have someone to call my own as much as I did a couple days ago. I guess because it is so boring here and everyone is coupled up. I just feel so out of place. Where just last year, I was so happy with the freedom that being single brought me; this year...not so much. I have had a full year of Cow-Town and boy...what a difference a day makes!

Someone please tell me that this dry spell of men and this incomplete feeling will pass shortly. I gotta get back in the game. I gotta merge into traffic.

Ladies----Is it just me or are all of the men over 35 contaminated and/or damaged goods?
