Found a couple yesterday just out walking around. Or, they found me. One was entirely too young (for me that means younger than early 40s, and he was about 30), and was most likely just flirting. The other one was in his late 40s/early 50s. Regardless, I disengaged both with a pleasant, "Enjoy your day!" because I'm not dating for the time being.
Best part is I'm not exceptionally good-looking. Just happy to be here, and it probably shows.
P.S. My phone was nowhere in sight when both approached. I'm convinced that a lot of people who complain about not being able to connect with people never really look anyone else in the eye because they are too busy with their phones.
Snap, I was hoping you were into Japanese . I have a 2JZGE and have a valve cover gasket leak. I was going to take it to the shop but I picked up a manual and will take it on myself.
Changing oil with ole girl is actually a nice Saturday morning affair- followed by all you can eat at IHOP... Deeelicious!
Jasperjade, maybe they were just being friendly. It doesn't sound like they were remotely interested. Did they ask you out? They probably are married, have girlfriends or are gay. I am not sure what you were "disengaging."

Hahahahaha.. your pessimism just doesn't quit. Doom and gloom. Its kind of cute at this point.
But in this case I agree with you. Just because a man engages you instead of ignoring your existence.. it doesn't necessarily mean he is hitting on you or is attracted to you.
I do it all the time. I even flirt sometimes with women I am not interested in at all. Mostly I just enjoy female energy.. even if it doesn't lead to the bedroom. Women are fun to interact with! Shocker right?
The ratio is so bad in DC that a man can be a troll and land a great catch.
Yup! Troll on Troll on might I say!

Muffy1, you got it all wrong! DC needs more straight, heterosexual straight men! There is a very large contingency of gay men in the district that are dating, and now, marrying other gay men.
Question? So, you're not going to explain to me that this isn't competition for women when they are searching for husbands?

She's not being realistic when it comes to this whole situation. Not taking account other working dynamics that is hurting woman's choices and decisions on finding mates. It's not just the ratio, or the quality of men that are available; other variables are at play.

*Well, that is quite unfortunate that these women feel this way. Some men like playing the field and don't want to be tied down to just one woman.

Correct!!! DC has a lot of men, males and shims! And truth bares witness, that some of these men want other men as mates. That is cold hard reality straight women can't seem to except on how this arrangement might decrease their pool of eligible men to engage with. This is not a statement against gay men or the lifestyles they lead, but, it's a staunch reality on how this impacts other relationships. It's the same way the mass incarceration of Black males in US pri$ons, is playing a supporting role in the sustainability of Black families (this includes marriage and pro-creation).

You are too entitled. I remember asking you what YOU bring to the table and you still haven't responded. You just keep going on and on about how you are a victim of outside factors. Nevermind ever looking in the mirror for even a second and taking SOME responsibility for your situation.
Sheeesh...
