This is so funny and I can sooooo relate. When I started dating again after my divorce, my match.com and yahoo personals profile stated that I was looking for an Intelligent Barbarian (TM). Then I found my husband (via yahoo)! Whose ancestors are the original "barbarians" (what the Romans called the people who inhabited Sardinia). oh, and yeah, he's smart....
So yeah, keep looking for your Viking Ninja Pirate and ROCK ON!
This is the problem with men...they expect all women to be make-up using, per-oxide blondes who are into fashion, being an air-headed brainless twit and looking after kids (though the last one is undoubtedly ok...) - they don't expect us to be scientists, mathmatians, writers, artists, or like the outdoors and into real sports, so it throws them off when we are. (And they then construct this stupid motion then that we have to either be gay or not interested in men at all!) Funny thing is, I have more male friends than female because of my interests, but if it wasn't for the fact that I already had a boyfriend and was actually interested in any of them, they probably wouldn't even notice because of I'm too much like them. Good luck in finding your Viking Ninja Priate. Don't be too disheartened, though - finding a good man whose not already married is hard anyway. (That's why they're married already!)
Not ALL men want the stereotyped airheaded blonde, but the ones who are interested in something else tend also to be a bit quieter and not approach women so readily. So they don't get noticed and grumble that all women are airheaded blondes who are only into men with big cars and stupid shit like that. If only people could learn to look around with open eyes..
The 'no single men available' problem just gets worse with age, unfortunately. The best bet is to look for the ones divorcing after their first marriage at around the age of 30, and then go for a quick catch before they are taken again.
So this soundtrack cricket, the icon of the otherwise empty universe, chirping quietly in the room, your only companion this cold night, is TRAPPED WITH A CRICKET-CRUNCHING GECKO!!! Egad, woman, go rescue that lil bugger! Name that fellow at once, and get him his own cage! I suggest christening him Buddy Holly. Jiminy's been taken. :-)
Here's a thought for you, as you ponder the nature of solitude: It can be much less lonely than being with the absolutely wrong person. And even when you find a mostly right person, you may find yourself as lonely at times with him.
Primates are weird that way. I wish I had the self-sufficiency and social sensibilities of a cat some days....
You're absolutely right about loneliness with the wrong person. I think you joined my friend list shortly after my last boyfriend moved out: It was a short term relationship between me and a hitchhiking european and we tried to make it last longer than it naturally should have. Did not work.
I wish my cat was self sufficient! Every day when I come home from work he's already meowing at the door before I even open it. Does he miss me? Or is his food dish just empty? Stay tuned...
