If a gal DID write this, then she is merely expressing her frustration over dating.

I suspect that she is a perfectionist that basically wants a guy with Movie star looks and his own medical practice to come in and sweep her off her feet because that is what she "deserves". She likely feels upset that her hard work and success are not valued as highly by some of the guys in the dating public who would be happy to date the 7-11 working hottie instead of her and that's "not fair".

In reality, she rejects the advances of lesser guys with bald spots, some paunch or blue collar job because they "aren't in her league".

Simply put, she hasn't attracted the attention of guys she deems worthy and is lonely and frustrated. She will either re-evaluate or turn bitter and lonely.

I work with a lot of successful, intelligent women...my field is full of them and I see this often.

I personally think that if you are having dating woes, introspection of who you are and what you want is perhaps a better course of action than railing about the "unfairness" of what is an inherently chaotic process. <shrug>

could be.From the "letter' I can't really pin point what this woman is.But the end line is telling "I'll be waiting".


Hey I'm single and kinda like it that way,though there is a part that wonders "hmmm,wonder if I'll meet someone that rocks my world",but I go with the flow,I'm not "waiting" for it,I get on with my life just fine.

I don't need love,it is a great feeling but I kinda love myself,if I fall head over heals in the future well cool.She sounds like she needs love after defending herself.

Seriously! I had a guy break up with me because I didn't make enough money to put our household income combined into the range he wanted.

Why didn't you tell him raising his income can also get you in the desired range?

lol Don't lie. There is no shame in knowing and dating a selfish braggart. We all make mistakes.

If'n I was in the dating mode...I'd most likely pick the 7-11 chick. Why you might ask? Because she probably drinks beer. The lady in the quote probably drinks perier water and eats granola. I know what I like and she ain't it. I could care less how much money a woman makes. But if she ain't down to earth she ain't happening in my book.

Why didn't I think of that? I should have! LOL He turned out to be a jerk in many other ways, too, though, so I can look back on it now and realize it was no great loss.

DUDE, a woman can eat granola and drink beer - we just know better than to do it at the same time.

I imagine that sophisticated European woman you're marrying will open your eyes to culture, just a little. She seems like she's pretty interesting. You've done well for yourself.
