MEN: Buff VS LA

As my girlfriends from the Buff can attest, there are no available men in the Western New York area. When I say available - I mean intelligent, independent, sophisticated, stylish, fun and sexy men. Sure, there are a lot of pot smoking, beer drinking unemployed loosers who still live at home and consider high fashion khakis and a baseball hat but come on...So here I am after years and years of struggling to find anyone interesting and attractive flooded with male opportunity. At first, I was trying to label each guy I met - placing him in categories of marraige material or not - but I am sooooo over that. I think meeting "dirty texter" helped me get over that - as he aptly stated the last night I saw him that he is a man living in LA and therefore has no need to grow up and settle down. I figured if that is the mindset of the Angeleno male, then why should I grow up and settle down? Can't I be allowed to have just as much fun as the men? HELL YES! So last night I brought #3 home for dinner and a movie. He is only 23 girls, but has a very successful business and is absolutely NOT my type of guy. The perfect specimen for my little LA dating experiment. The hypothesis is: Try to date as many men as possible who are nothing like the men you usually pick (musicians, artists, musicians) and don't let any of them get under your skin. In time, I will be cured of my constant need to take every new relationship to the alter of perfection, only to be devestatingly disappointed by date #3 or month #2, which ever one comes first. We'll see how this works. I am trying to take my head and my heart out of the equation for now and just enjoy it and have fun.
