Sometimes people ask me why I’m still single. One guy said he can’t believe I haven’t found anyone (he repeated himself several times for emphasis). My Dad said he’s not sure how I’ll ever find anyone (given the losers that he’s seen running around). These comments were not prompted by me. Others have said I am intimidating, and others still say unapproachable. My former sister-in-law once said she hopes I’ll consider dating men who aren’t necessarily white collar and sporting a luxury car. I’ve broadened my scope, I really have, I tell her. Now I’ll go out with any guy who knows how to spell and write a decent sentence. I didn’t think I’d ever date a man who hadn’t graduated from college, but I have now, twice! I’ve totally lowered my standards, I tell her.
But when a handsome man popped up on match.com recently (I’m not a member but still get their spam), I clicked his bio to find this beauty that he must have written by himself,
“I am looking for a attractive young woman that knows how to treat a man good.”
I can’t respond or point out the error of what I’m sure is some kind of Southern charm, but my sister shared what her response would be: “As soon as you begin treating the English language with the same degree of respect that you are looking for, we can talk about how you should be treated.”
Wurd.
Oh gurl, that made me laugh OUT LOUD, it did.
I was just thinking the same thing… a good laugh-out-loud laugh!!!
i love your sister’s response!!!!
I’ve now corrected my own mistakes (though there may be more!)! I really should be more careful when casting aspersions; it always comes back somehow!
Glad you laughed!
Hi Emily !
Just learning how to leave comments so as you can see by my previous non-post I don’t know what I am doing. Anyway, this cracked me up LOL!
