Are there really no men or are all women blind?


I witnessed something quite perticular while working one day. At my job there are several men of varying ages who treat the Bucks like a bar. These men have different occupations and thus different incomes. They dont drink alcohol on any regular basis. So for them the bar scene wouldn't work. But as social beings a need for outside interactions always seems to arise. Hence, the Bucks becomes their bar.  

There are all these magazine and newspaper articles, blogs, self-help books giving single women advice for finding single attractive men and they all seem to suggest for women to go to places where men might congregate. Places like the grocery store, the book store, the gym, music venues and so forth. Now I see these single women and these single men in these places all of the time and yet there still seems to be no connections between the two.

On this particular balmy evening one of the single, attractive, working, non-drinking men approached a woman ordering in the drivethru. He greeted her and asked a few questions including if she were single. She loudly and pridefully announced her singleness. To this he laugh and then asked her to dinner. Instead of accepting or declining she began to chide him about his job and age.

Red light! How do you move from declaring your singlehood to ripping a promising date to shreds? Ladies, before you go off the handle understand what I am saying. The perpetuality of your singlehood could stem from your own inability to recognize a genuine chance at love. Perhaps if this woman had resisted the urge to question his source of imcome and focused on simple points of interest like: does he make me laugh, do I find him attractive, is he into crazy stuff she might have found herself out of singlehood.

This whole situation struck me as odd. The scene lent itself as a perfect canididate for several romance novels and movies and yet some glitch occured prevented the happy ever after. Do all single, black attractive, got it going on, can't find a man worthy women have this issue. What can we do to remove the malfunctioning in our programming? This deserves further research and pondering.
