So this latest "meet a woman online and underwhelm her" episode makes me think about what I want from a woman and a relationship.

That's even assuming I want a relationship at all.

The thing is, I don't really think I have all that much to offer a woman. They all seem to want active and excitement and doing things. What do I do? I stay home reading books, watching TV, playing my horn. The only times I go anywhere are to buy groceries or go to work. My idea of a fun night out is to hold a bar stool down.

Now it's true that if I had a woman in my life, I would do things with her. Probably cook more, and different, things. Go meet friends at the bar sometimes. Go for walks together. Go on small trips (there's a lot to see and do in Wisconsin).

I don't know, maybe that sort of thing counts as "active". Maybe that's all anyone has to offer. Perhaps I'm just overthinking this.

But I'm just not sure I have enough to offer someone.

With the sites, perhaps I'm just not contacting enough people. Only a few will ever write back. For every woman remotely attractive, there's probably a hundred men that will contact her. So standing out from the crowd is a little difficult.

It's been ten years now. I suppose I have a few years to go before I completely give up.
