Reality Setting In....

I have to admit that the reasoning behind this endeavor stems from the fact that as a 35 year old man, I ask myself daily "Why Am I Still Single?". I have had this question broached to me by friends--married and single ones, ex-girlfriends, ex one-night stands, lovers and women that I meet in passing...the questions and people are endless. I mean, I am fairly attractive, I work-out to keep my body in shape, I am intelligent, pretty funny, gainfully employed, self-sufficient...you get the idea. More importantly, why would I want to broadcast this fact for the world to see and the answer, to my utter disdain is this: I, like many men that are in my situation and are too afraid to admit it, is that I am hopelessly and utterly stupid. We, the collective "ignorant" are still thinking that the things that got us over in high school will get us to the ultimate goal of finding a partner and confidant in life--WRONG!!!!!

I have seen alot of the books written by women and even a few of them written by men that are supposed to show the true insight to the mind of the man: He's Just Not That Into You, It's Called A Breakup Because It's Broken, Emontional Unavailability, Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus (good one by the way), but none of them speak to the truth of the matter: most of us men, if not all of us are "STUPID"--plain and simple. It is the few lucky ones that recognize that they have to fight daily to defeat the "idiot within".

As you can see, I am still learning (like an infant learning to crawl) and we will all explore my growth or possibly the lack thereof together to see if I can at first come to understand what the hell it is that I am actually thinking, feeling, doing (I hear that it is all about your actions with women) and believing when it comes to the fairer sex.

This is not going to be one of those "dog men" every chance we get blogs, but let's be honest, there are a lot of us that can stand to be critiqued. Who knows, this thing may spread and grow and one day I can actually find and maintain a loving relationship and possibly get on Oprah--haha! One day at a time!
