Can you explain the card carrying man thingy?
People can be male or female, but being a man, that's a member of an exclusive club. A man has many attributes, that makes him part of the club. One of them is; meaning what he says, and saying what he means.

Fixed your post for you.

No woman can transport a good trophy in just a mere car.
If you have to put zip ties on my hands, and a black hood over my head, I won't argue. I'm sure it's for the best if I think there could be bacon.

Now days, it's the card you have to show before an attendant--or the legal system--will let you in to the proper public restroom.
I thought it didn't matter anymore, what head you used.

Maybe my problem is I'm too down-to-earth or unflashy. I'm not skilled at being coy, mysterious or flirtatious... or whatever it takes to convey availablilty or interest. I'm pretty "no-frills". I only know how to be affable. :p

Well crud.

Tommy just listed every single one of my usual favorite hunting grounds.

I guess I'm going to have to start checking out Bingo Nights instead of Boogie Nights. :eek:

What a bummer. :(

("C-4!!! YES!! I have C-4!!! Me, me, me!!!")

Hold up... What do you mean, there's no "C" in "B-I-N-G-O."

No wonder I've never won a game yet. :(
You could go to produce stands my grandmother once met an ok guy that way.

THANK you! I was thinking that about C-4 too, but nobody else mentioned it so I thought maybe I just played too many stealth action video games.

when does God send the right man into your life too pursue you?
For the record, it's not the "being single" that sucks. Sometimes life just sucks, whether you're single or married. Sometimes being married can be the part that sucks, like when you and your spouse can not agree on a matter you both feel is vitally important to your lives. Sometimes being single sucks, like when a problem comes up and you are dealing with it alone.

If you're depending on the right man to make your life not suck, you are going to be VERY disappointed. And if you try to make that man the kind of man who will make your life not suck, you will probably lose him. No man can live up to expectations like that.

I don’t think God gives us people, that would negate free will. Besides, I would hate to think some bozo is praying for a wife, and God says “I’ll send La_Vie_En_Rose to you and shoot her with a love arrow so she will love you against her will.”

I’d rather pick out my own bozo than be sent to one I don’t want. I imagine men are the same way, they’d rather pick out their own headache than have one foisted upon him, just because she is a good prayer.

I agree with you, Lynx. Being single (or being married) does not suck. There are challenges that come with both situations.

I also agree with your second point, although I think it's fairer to say:

"If you're depending on the right person to make your life not suck, you are going to be VERY disappointed. And if you try to make that man or woman the right kind of person who will make your life not suck, you will probably lose him or her. No person can live up to expectations like that."

What can I say.

I know how to turn a game of Bingo into dynamite.

I'm guessing the people there won't really notice, though.

After all, they'll probably have all their hearing aids turned down.

I'm sure I'll know the right guy in the exact same way you know about a good melon:

If you are single, it is because that is what you intend, regardless of what you think you want. It is the same with being lonely. If you think this isn't true, observe your thoughts down to the root, you will find that what you have, is what you intended. Life is abundant, even in the opposite direction.

Are you one of these people who believes in the “power of positive thinking”? Like, you “speak it into existence”, “name it and claim it”? If so, PLEASE go to St. Jude’s hospital straightaway and claim healing for all those children stricken with cancer. Or maybe they had negative thoughts, and that is why they are sick?
