While I may be very biased, I truly believe that my female friends and I are a bunch of gorgeous, intelligent women who just happen to be single. But as the years progress and we're still single I can't help but wonder... are we "single and fabulous!" or "single and fabulous?" That one little mark of punctuation speaks volumes.
I know a boy who never had any game, overall he's not a catch, and in fact on many occasions I felt the urge to knee him in the crotch as he invaded my personal space one too many times to make stupid comments. Yet he's been dating a woman (as equally not a catch as him) for over a year now. They seem happy - great for them; but as I looked at photos of them posted happily on his myspace I had to wonder, where's the fairness in that?
Why am I ('cause let's face it, I'm an only child so my plight is far more dire and important than those of my friends) and my friends unable to find decent men? Sure I'm picky, but over things I truly don't think should rule out all available men.
How is it possible that the non-catches are able to become a couple with their perfect match while the single and fabulous women I know are left without even a Friday night date?
Perhaps delving into the Pandora's box that is that question requires a large bottle of wine, dim lighting, and Joni Mitchell.

You've definitely been watching too much S&TC lady!! Face it, we say we want boyfriends but we obviously don't because if we really did, we'd both have them.
I don't buy it. While I know I need to focus on myself right now and figure out what I want out of life and more importantly, who I want to be. I am ready, willing, and able to be in a real adult relationship. I want to be a girlfriend, I want to use "we" statements. Yet when the option arises it's always with a nice guy but one who I'm not ridiculously attracted to and I refuse to settle just to be in a relationship. I haven't found a person who can keep my interest and that's why I'm single not because I don't want a boyfriend.
Sure I bark up the wrong trees and then end up crying wondering why he wouldn't commit to me more than a casual night of sex. And that's part of the learning process.
But in the long run? I refuse to settle for a guy who I CAN stop thinking about just so I can be Ms Bowie +1. It's not worth it. I want someone I CAN'T stop thinking about.
I'm just saying that lots of people do settle for the sake of being in a relationship so if both of us wanted to settle, we'd both be in relationships.
Okay So my complete theory on why not-so-fabulous people get married is the old song..."If you want to by happy for the rest of your life- never make a pretty woman your wife... take it from my personal point of view- get an ugly girl to marry you" Or something like that :)
Of course now I have that song stuck in my head. So thanks for that. :-) Then here's my question to you... what happens to those girls who are in between? They aren't ugly but they also aren't beautiful. Do they fall in the crack and get lost forever?
