Warning: This is a rant!

Looks like I do a lot of that nowadays, especially about guys, otherwise known as the perpetual topic at women’s gatherings everywhere. Gah, I wish I had something better to talk about for once!

So there is this guy, and there have been a couple, who sort of stood me up. I mean asked me to go for lunch with him and literally did not show up or pick up his phone or explain or anything. Later he calls and acts like “Oh, why do you sound mad?” and goes on to explain that he was phoneless at the time and of course could not be bothered to explain that he could not have been able to make it because of his bla-bla story.

It might not seem a big deal to you, dear reader, but it is to me because this is the third guy who is doing something like this to me. This year. One other one called me an hour after we were supposed to meet to hook up a back-up plan and was oh-so-surprised when I said no. Reason? He was late. Woke up late, you know. Just. He expected I would understand, I mean, people sleep and wake up late all over the world, right?

So I’m wondering…hmmm…OK. Am I not worth waking up an hour early, a phone call, a text? Like seriously. I don’t get it. Men end up going cold on me becasue I am too perfect (as if!) Apparently I descend upon the earth every morning on a crystal cloud and gently land on my sparkling wings upon mortal earth.

Oh, you didn’t hear? I am also in the business of walking around with hands clasped below my chin in prayer with a glowing halo over my head.

I heard this one the second time again this year, I’m too perfect, holy, “sorted”…I need a real man, so the guy doesn’t consider that I am in his league.

I just don’t get guys. They say they want a nice chick, who will say nice things, go to church, be there, etc etc and when I do all that now I am above their league. Why do I even give such men the time of day? These same idiots are the ones who treat me like a second-class citizen and stand me up and do all sorts of disrespectful things. If I deserve better since I am so “perfect”, why treat me like trash? Is it a way of showing me that they really can’t match up so they treat me badly so I can write them off?

I just don’t get guys and I’m so tired of trying to.
