Yep. All marriages, no matter how many times we try it, have to surpass the 7 year itch.

You're a smart even keeled guy. I don't imagine you with a flighty psycho.

That bodes well.

You mean there are other types of women that cannot be described as either flighty or psycho?

You've never met my wife. Flighty? No. Psycho? She hasn't been tested so I can't confirm or deny.

I heard a couple girls today discussing Ph balance. I was both horrified, and horrified. Girls are kind of disgusting.

Eh **** it. Either way it tastes like the metal edge of a garden hose. Hasn't stopped me yet.


And by yet I mean for like the dozen or so times I've actually dined at the Y.

I'm too busy enjoying the ride to daydream anymore.

For every wet behind the ears male with no life experience that crosses me off their list because I'm an old lady, there's another one ready to enjoy the complete freedom of a woman that is no longer worried about what others think.

30s - all the vigor of youth, none of the emotional baggage.

My problem with women in their 30s in KC, most of them have let themselves go. And I am not talking about just being average. Overland Park does not have that problem.

I mean, if they are that way single imagine with a significant. Ladies, hit the gym. Go with your man. KC needs to get more active in working out, or doing activities outside.

The Midwest spread is gender neutral. The winters here are also very demoralizing. But I hear you. Complacency isn't attractive in either sex. That's a good reminder for me.

Katipan, maybe you can help me out. Why were these girls discussing Ph levels in the common room of our dorm. Is this something women enjoy talking about?

Not as a general rule. If the leaders of the discussion group were claiming perfection in their Ph, then the motivation was to get any listeners to think about their vaginas. If they were talking shit about other women's Ph, well then you're just witnessing classic mean girl crap. If there were tissues involved and soft murmuring then they were trying to fix someone's Ph. If you see alot of notes and textbooks and a lifesize fake vagina then they were probably doing homework.

Just tell them sperm is a base and offer your services.

This is why I don't date, but from the opposite perspective. As an overweight 40-year old living well below the poverty-line, there's just no real point. I'm not going to be interested in anybody who'd settle for a guy like me, I have absolutely nothing to offer a woman who has her shit together, and the idea that I could change in any meaningful way at this stage of my life is a fantasy that would end up killing any relationship now just the same as it did 10 years ago.

It's not always easy to acknowledge, but some of us just aren't wired right...

Well it was only two girls, and I heard one say something along the lines of "it's getting funky down there". Then there was talk of Ph balance being off, at which point, I picked up my books, went back to my room, and vomited.

I will not be offering either one of these girls my sperm as a base.

Your choice to be a fan.

I could just shake you sometimes and someday I'm going to. I could rattle off a list of traits and qualities in you that every man should have but certainly don't. But that would just embarrass you and people would roll their eyes at me. What you hate in yourself someone else may never even see. Much less care about.
