I aasked my best friend about it and he said he thinks men are intimidated because I'm educated, have my own stuff and take care of myself. He said that they may think there is nothing they can do for me.

Ok, so the fact that I am unemployed and sleeping on a friend's couch means that I am totally a guy magnet? In some ways, I feel like I cannot put myself out there to date because here's my opening line: "Yeah I'm unemployed and crashing on a friend's couch." Are guys into chicks who are unemployed activists?

We'll see how receptive damosuzuki is to that idea. After a long day of work, the poor guy just wants to come home and listen to his Scud Mountain Boys albums.

Oh is that annoying music?

Yeah, probably...I mean, I quite like them myself, and they're probably not as terrible as you might think judging by the name, but I'm likely a minority of one in holding that opinion.

Sexton isn't painting a very flattering portrait of me!

No he isn't, is he But what does he know, right?

At minimum, he knows I live in a frozen backwater & I have questionable taste in music.

I'm not sure if he knows I'm a little obsessed with ants.

If you add all that up, I think you're looking at some showstoppers there.

Wha? That just makes you a catch. Shit, I may not be good enough, but then that would just make it a challenge to get with someone so good and together, and I'd surely have to raise my game to do that. If not, yay me for getting someone so good and together with my lack of goodness and togetherness. I'd be dating above my station! Aren't we supposed to aim high, for the best or at least someone good? It's absurd to run from that. Probably then complain about the crappy partner they end up with but who they at least don't feel intimidated around.

That's just weird.

There is always one thing they can do for us.

Well and what's the opposite? An emotionally needy gold digger? Yeah, that's attractive.

I'm only goofing on you two because I like you both a lot.

Like how Fauxie does with JustErin.

Except he doesn't really like her.

Are there any men here on the Org who would honestly fall in love with an unemployed, activist who sleeps on a friend's couch? LOL

If you are a kind, sharing person and feel good about yourself, you will certainly find love and happiness. Don't underestimate what you have to offer someone!

And just to be clear, showstoppers are the opposite of dealbreakers, aren't they?

I actually meant it in the 'business-speak' sense, I guess - a problem that can't be worked around.

How confusing

I work for myself in the room that I sleep and rarely get out

I don't talk much, I'm married and have 3 kids

I guess those are my showstoppers

But I can cook well and exercise on a trampoline

I meant to ask you something about ants. I've noticed (much to my kids amazement and amusement) that when I cut the kids toenails out on the back patio, that ants come and take the clipping and run off with them into their nest. Why?

It depends. Is the question theoretical? If it is, sure, why not? If it's specifcally about you, of course not, you're an idiot.

I can’t recall ever reading about that behaviour before (going after toenails), but most ant species are omnivores and will go after almost anything. I did a bit of searching and found a good number of pages where people had witnessed the same thing. They’re probably going after either the dead skin on the nails, the protein in the actual nail, or (likely) both.

Not me. I thought you were a lady for only 3 years.
