Well, that was a waste of time...

Today at lunch I couldn't find a single good magazine, so I wound up with the latest issue of Atlanta Magazine. Cover story: "Single in the City: How to Play the Dating Game."

After reading the article, I decided the only thing worse than the singles scene in Atlanta is listening to a bunch of club-hopping, Prada-wearing, designer-cocktail-sipping, SUV-driving, Botox-shooting, Buckhead yuppies bitch about the singles scene in Atlanta.

...Ironically, despite the sorry state of my love life and the unlikelihood of it improving anytime soon (the article was just lists of bars to go to, I've tried going to bars and I never meet anyone, just sit there looking awkward, and I've got more interesting things to do), I actually felt kinda lucky after reading the article. So I'm not rail-thin and gorgeous. It's actually a pretty effective way of weeding out most of the really-unpleasant-for-a-number-of-reasons losers who are busy chasing the gorgeous girls. I guess it all evens out.

AMEN! That is how I feel. I am currently loosing weight for health reasons, but when I lost weight 5 years ago I HATED the way the Y-chromosome humans treated me.... I like it better when I can tell that people like me for who I am and not fer being a good rack on some nice curves.

Do you mind if I'm quite happy that you're not rail thin?

Having actually been dragged into some of those Buckhead clubs by a friend a few years ago, I can tell you for a fact that the vibe from those people really is creeeeeepy. It was then, I'm sure it is now. I so didn't fit in at all.

I never once had someone hit on me that I would have been even remotely interested in.

i actually think bars are bad.
i highly recommend going to clubs/hobby type places so that you meet someone who is interested in what you're interested in.
then again, i met my husband online, in a MUD (multi user dungeon) role playing game.
so i guess the internet can work, too.

I met my hubby via online gaming as well. :)

Anytime I've ever read anything in Atlanta magazine, I always get the exact same impression you got from that article -- it's written BY and FOR the Buckhead yuppies that I moved out to the suburbs to get AWAY from!

Hooray for Living Outside The Perimeter! :)

"Dating is the nearest we humans come to death." And I realized only another Munchkin girl would take that for a chuck on the chin. But substitute "Scottsdale" and "frat-boy Gravano clients" and you've got "Phoenix magazine" too. Who are these mutants?
