Single In The City

How you feeling Milwaukee!!!!! ....... Yeah..... I hear that silence too. Generally it occurs on Sunday, Tuesday and during the winter. During the winter?!? I thought those from the North were accustomed to -20 degree weather and winds up to 30mph. "Of course not, we are human" , says one of the stitchers at The Rep. Well then, since its cold as mess outside we should all be hugged up with something good to warm our body and soul. Red wine, Brueggers tomato basil soup, a man...

* SCREECHING NOISE IS HEARD IMMEDIATELY**

A Man? But where do you find a Good Single Man these days. Well I decided to do some searching. Maybe the good ol' TV situation would work. Sit at Starbucks and my tall drink of water walks in. Nope, how about just some skater kids, a mom with her three daughters, and a coworker.

Alright next stop, jazz at a really cute bar (Mikeys) with a variety of visitors. The band was hot and so was the crowd. All ten of us including me, myself, and I.

Last chance a hip bar/restaurant in the middle of downtown. Known to have plenty of people always on the weekends. Definitely had some cute prospects but apparently eye contact and a nice smile don't work in this day and age.

Ladies tell me what we gotta do? There are several accomplished, gorgeous, sweet women out here, but where are the men to fulfill our wants and needs. I'm COLD! I want a secure arm around my waist with a body temperature warmer than mine.

Maybe I should get a pet. Nope, nope, that wont fulfill ALL my needs.

Yes this is the age old question, but I mean fo' real, I want an answer. Soooo I plan on doing a lil' hunting and gathering. My homeboy told me about a book him and a friend of his are reading about how to pick up women. I am interested in discovering how to pick up a man. How to choose the right ones and not come off as a flighty. Because us good women out here are in search of something worth our time, but we (myself included) are always WAITING for it to come to us. So lets turn the tides a bit and try it the other way. Ill let you know how it goes. Be sure to stay tuned.

    You've got a cool project going here!! Humm... I was thinking about two things, one being the question of how to end after the conversation. I guess it depends on what you want out of the situation... If you are looking for an actual date, then more doors are open. You could suggest meeting for coffee or a drink at another time and tackle the subject of second dates (which are so much different than firsts), or if you find something you have in common (like a love for plays or a reggae music) you could invite him out with your crew to see a show or concert. AND if one of your other single friends should happen to pick him up at one of those events, then you could write about that.

    The other thing I was thinking about was about how to attract the fellas. I will let you in on a little secret... It's one of my hobbies to make ok cupid profiles. Some of them make sense, most of them are ridiculous. I like to read the weird messages people send back to me, or see what kind of person would be attracted to the person I create. And I can honestly say (to my amazement) that the ridiculous ones have gotten the most responses from interesting parties. And I think it's for one primary reason:

    The ridiculous profiles show someone DIFFERENT. And I think people are intrigued by that. Whether its an attraction or merely curiosity, uniqueness gets people to send an email... or maybe even cross a bar. I can't tell you how many times interesting conversations have been started in bars because someone noticed the paint on my hands.

    So maybe rather than focus on the destination you could play with your approach. Or once you have a hottie hostage you could ask him what made him cross the bar, or what he finds attractive. What he wishes women would do more.

    Finally, I think gay bars are amazing resources for pretty, sexy and interesting. And that is where I have had some of my most interesting conversations about love, sex and relationships.

    good luck, and keep me posted!!!!
