I am baffled!
For me, the best, most honest and truly enjoyable way of meeting a woman, with whom I hope to connect romantically and respectfully, would be the personal encounter. I am very people oriented and a quick-witted, cheerful, intelligent man. I do not usually meet with challenges to being honest, open and romantic. Moreover, women trust me and feel safe with me.
While this is true, and while chemistry has proven to be abundant with a number of women, the usual challenge I meet up with is "I'm not ready for a relationship", or "My priorities at this stage are ...", or, and this is the most baffling, "I cannot share myself"!!
So what's a RELATIONship?
I've also noticed this phenomenon to be born by American women, or those who become "Americanized" (sounds almost like "mechanized")! I am generalizing, you understand.
On the other hand, the personals business, for it is a business, takes the multitude for a ride. And all go riding happily, and WILLINGLY along, seeking dreams, which for the most part will not transpire.
Why this contradiction?
I will not discount the individualistic mode-of-living in this country and its negative outcomes. Nor will I deny the terrible role that chauvinistic male attitudes play. But neither can explain women’s stampede away from a relationship on the one hand, while flocking in droves to the personals domain on the other!!
Consequently, if such is the case, here I am alerting you all to my presence (Hi Mom)! (This is a joke of course).
I will not post a picture, but will send you one, when the time comes. Let me say however, I am happy with how I look and think and behave.
I am divorced and politically left. I am not a believer in any extra-terrestrial entity, or in any rituals. I am well educated and well read. Yes I am intellectually prone, but I am not pedantic. I am in good shape, though I do not exercise 15 times a week nor claim the outdoors as my strong suits to meet a woman. These are all marginal. I am looking for a fairly good-looking woman with personality, independence and thoughtfulness.
Though not confined, internationals and women of colour happily apply.
What dost thou say?
