ooh I hated that question. while not corresponding with him from this point on may be a bit harsh, I can understand the sentiment. in my case you can add to the list: he smokes, he is intimidated by the fact that I was working on a PhD, he's mid 30s and has no plan for his retirement.....

but please share more about fucking plush carnival toys!

Hey carnival furry are we still on for that drink?
I'm lucky in that I don't get that question, maybe it is all that talk about becoming a nun....

1) Welcome Back

2) Being picky is not a bad thing, Mother Nature is even more picker and harsher in the wild. So Kudos for your Pickyness

3) When Mr. Right makes the scene you will know it.

4) Try some wasabi or soy next time ;-)

and oh yes please do tell about this furry thing :-)

Dating in DC is just really hard. It's hard enough to meet people, as they don't like to actually speak to one another. Then when you do talk to them, they are constantly absorbed with their careers, unwilling to let anyone into their lives, and/or holding out for something better to pop up next week. I mean, just try to make plans with people - good luck. Leaving DC was the best thing for my dating life. Thus we have the eminently date-able Jimbo single.

*Totally Owning My Shame* Alas folks, I am the fuckin' LOSER that posed that question to Jimbo. Damn, I so did not mean to hurt feelers or be uber inappropriate.

It was just that I find Jimbo so amazing like someone I would kill kittens to date. =) And he is so authentic and that is really hard to find in the gayberhood or so it ha sbeen for me and my peeps. A lot of guys are image or body obsessed and lack the desire to go deeper and they also are lacking in the hilarious factor unlike Jimbo, our blogger.

Man, I feel horrible and have leanred a valuable life lesson: Never ask that heinous, why r u single question ever again.

May I please be absolved and be in Jimbo's graces?

I HATE that question as well. (If I knew the answer, do you think I'd still be eating canned soup for dinner in front of the TV and falling asleep alone?)

I also hate this comment, which I seem to get with alarming frequency: "You could have any guy in this bar you want." (Is that so? So why are those guys not talking to me and I'm stuck here with you blowing smoke up my ass?)

WHEW. Thanks. I feel better now.

I too hate that question; but, playing the devil's advocate here, it is often merely a device to keep the conversation going. My experience is that the question is usually asked by another single person in the context of dating. (In contrast, I would be REALLY offended if my mother were to ask me that question.) Perhaps the person asking is breaching the topic in the hopes that the question will be turned around to him.

It's possible . . .

In any case, Mr. 'Bush Must Go' guy seems very sweet from his posting above. To humble one's self like that (in power-conscious DC no less) is not easy. I find this quality very admirable. Also, he's kinda whipped on you, and appears trainable. Two more good qualities.

Ron: Point taken, 'booboo', or "Bush Must Go" is heretofore forgiven, especially for being concerned about my "feelers".

So maybe other people might not be annoyed by that question, but I can be, if it's interpreted in the wrong context.

awwww...how sweet... I like sweet...

While I have never asked the question of anyone myself that I can remember, when asked of me, I choose to interpret it as an innocent (and safe) feeler to inquire if, in fact, I am the settling down type as opposed to the one-night-stand kinda guy. If one seems obviously "a catch" to another person, then it perfectly normal to wonder why that person hasn't been "caught". Take it as an oblique compliment rather than being offended, Jimbo - you definitely do seem to be "a catch".

Whew! Thanks =)

Wait. A guy you met from MATCH.COM asked you that? WTF? why is HE single? LOL

I can add a few reasons here as well (besides all of the above):

He's (or She's) boring, bad in bad, a bad kisser, a bad fuck, slow when trying to form words, fat, very fat, smells bad, won't wash his greasy hair, gone back to school, MARRIED. And on and on.

Yawl get the point.

Dude, don't knock Saskatchewan, there's plenty of woofy dudes up here! Cowboys, ranchers, lumber jacks, miners, construction workers, etc. We may be in Canada, but at least we know how to keep warm at night! There's even a NATO training base near home. Norwegians, Swedes, Italians, and Canadian pilots just waiting to be shot down for the night. My tongue is fucking sore.

I wasn't knocking Saskatchewan, as there actually has been interest from there in the past...it's just that the interest is always from somewhere other than DC.
