Finding that Special One

Being single and window shopping is not easy. And Resident Traveler is clearly frustrated over the process. He has posted his clever albeit slightly wistful blog entry “That’s the End of That” here about the things he believes cut a coupling down before it gets going.

A few of the elements he presents as relationship stoppers:

They say every pot has its lid. But whenever I look around:

She’s a frecha* – and that’s the end of that.

If she’s not a frecha, she’s a neo-hippie – and that’s the end of that.

If she’s not a frecha, nor a neo-hippie, she’s either the over-driven career type, a scantily-clad, deathly-thin Mars-creature, or a sour-faced urban burnout – and that’s the end of that.

If she’s not (any of the above), she’s not physically attractive enough (hard as I try to overlook it), and that’s the end of that.

If she’s still not any of the above, she lacks heart. Or any kind of joi d’vivre (joy of life), and that’s the end of that. (Lots of these. Lots and lots and lots.)

ISSNAOTA, she’s married, or has a long-term boyfriend. She does. Trust me. No “that” to end. (OODLES of these.)

* – Frecha: the Israeli equivalent of whatever they call brain-dead women with an intensely juvenile fashion sense in your country.

….and so on and so forth.

Resident: When you’re not looking, your lid will sneak up and surprise you. Until then, live and enjoy it!
