Ok ladies- is it just me (because I live in Augusta) or is it like this everywhere??  Do you find that all the good guys are taken?  They are either married or have girlfriends.  And then the ones you don't want are as single as can be and wanna date you, but you want nothing to do with them.  Is it just me??

Glad I can boost your ego. 

But...to clarify, it seems like all the great guys (not just any guy) that I'm interested in are taken   You can be taken, but if I'm not interested in you then my comment doesn't apply to you

Good luck.

Good looking, nice smile, a triathlete, good looking, willing to help others with friendly advice, good looking, sincere, available for the right guy.....did I mention good looking?

Hmmm, what's not to like? Must be a lot of guys in Augusta with blindfolds on!

Hang in there Janelle...when you least expect it, someone will come along and knock your socks off. Guaranteed!

I agree w/ you Janelle! I'm no longer single but when I was (all 20 years) the only available guys seemed to be nasty stalker dudes. Or in the words of the Barenaked Ladies, Jane is tired cuz every man becomes a lovesick jerk.

All single (and looking) BTers:

Uh, why not date each other? Do I have to be the one to say this? I know it's long distance, but why not start emailing each other a bit? Agree to meet for, let's just say, a race? Agree that the one who does not make goal buys dinner? How perfect is that?

You just might find out that your soul (or sole, ha ha) mate is RIGHT HERE IN FRONT OF YOU!!!

If any single women would like to be set up with any of my adorable gym boyfriends (I have 5 single ones who are so freakin cool, it kills me that they are single-- one complains that he is just too focused on being healthy to meet women bc they all want to party to much.. WTF? I am actually on a mission to find them dates...) pm me. They are, of course, in Madison, WI area, but they are all so cute and smart and fun. ages 27-32.

Janelle, I think the same way about women. All of the good ones are gone or live too damn far away. I feel your pain.

There does not seem to be any good women in Nashville.

It's just you - and every other single woman I have ever met who says the same thing a few years before she gets married.

There are plenty of good guys out there. They are working as garbage men, laying brick, framing, pipe fitting, making pickles, butchering meat, putting out fires, driving trucks and for the last 35 years they have been told by every media outlet that they are unimportant, unnecessary and suffer from testosterone poisoning.

Just walking onto a university campus anywhere in the western world is enough to make any man want to run for shelter.

Women want men who are men so they say. Any dating man will tell you that, that is a load of codswallop. Women expect men to change - men expect that women won't. Both groups are hopelessly deluded.

There is a great line in the movie Straight Talk with Dolly Parton and James Woods where Woods is complaining about his relationship with women. Dolly tells him a story about a man who buys canned vegetables and no matter what is on the label each time he opens the can there is corn inside. Basically people sometimes think they are looking for one thing and keep ending up with the same thing because they either don't want something different or they don't bother to check the insides before buying the package.

I still think it's just one of those random things that you have to be open to.  Like Wookie said, they are out there.  Maybe you're just limited yourself to the jerks because you're looking in the wrong places. 

I can't say, really.  Like I wrote in Shellee's post the other day, I met my Mr. Wonderful at his house.  Basically, it was a chance meeting through a friend, that wasn't even intended to happen.

Before Mr. Wonderful, I met Mr. Will-Do-For-A-While at a coffee shop.  A chance smile, an offer to have him join us (I was with a group of girl friends), and 10 years later my life was completely different.

My mom met my dad because she was the proctor in his sister's dorm and he has to get "checked in" before he could visit his sister.

As for "all the good ones are taken"... that may be so.  But not forever.  "Good ones" are like the one card you need to win at Gin Rummy.  You have to wait until someone else puts them down and then snatch it up before anyone else can.  In otherwords, you have to be ready to jump the minute you see one. 

And, like Gin Rummy, you can't be too timid or afraid to pick up something you're not 100% sure will work.  Take a risk.  Go out with someone you may not find attractive at first.  You never know... and the worst that can happen is you have a mediocre night out.  If you're open to it, you may at least have made a new friend who can introduce you two his two friends, and so on and so on.
