NBA vs. MBA: Pro-Athlete or Average Joe

Hello! I'm back! It's been an "interesting" month or so. If you're a friend and/or subscriber you know what's been going on. If not, let's just say that nothing in life is certain except, that you will get kicked while you're down. Repeatedly. Moving on...

For anyone close to me they know of my infatuation with one certain very tall, very German, very successful Dallas Maverick. I understand you think he looks like Cro-Magnon, I DON'T CARE. I think he's beautiful! Anyways... It has suddenly dawned on me that in today's dating market it is probably more likely for me to land a pro-athlete than it is to find a normal guy, a "Mr. Middle of the Road". Now you really think I've lost it? Someone is currently calling Dirk and telling him to lock his doors. Hear me out...

Actually, either athlete or average joe are equally impossible to find. Per my previous post, (if you didn't read it you should so this one makes a little more sense), men aren't really living up to their name. They've regressed into perpetual boyhood due to lack of responsibilities and motivation to think of anyone but themselves. With that said, please understand married friends, I appreciate your sentiments of "you'll find someone" or "your time will come" but honestly, you have NO IDEA how bleak the dating scene is right now. Unless you're "enhanced", spend your every waking second in a gym, have legs from here to Botswana, or could double for Heidi Klum you're passed over. Men seem to think that they're going to find a Victoria's Secret model on Match.com or out mingling at a happy hour. And nine times out of ten if I meet someone at church they assume all I want to do is argue theology and ponder the ways of the puritans. There has to be a middle of the road, you have to meet us normal girls halfway or something. You're simply asking for too much and giving too little.

Let's break it down here...
There are two extremes. One is a woman that looks something like a "sister-wife" that wants to pop out 23 children, home school them all, and happily makes her own clothes a la Little House on the Prairie. The other is someone that looks like she rolled out of the Kmart cosmetics section, eats like a micro-organism, and will hop in the sack with anything that doesn't run screaming from their hyper-colored pigmentation. So what's a normal girl to do? We can't compete with our over-sexed counterparts because men are so visually driven they turn into slobbering beasts and my weekend attire of jeans, a tank top, and flip flops and lack of desire to sit in prayer all day is too "secular" for such a good and holy man.

So bottom line is, if I spend my time pursuing a celebrity basketball player or a normal guy in today's dating world I will probably get the same result. Someone who thinks I'm just too normal for them. Oh well. "Normal" I shall be and "normal" I shall remain. Someday my ordinary will be discovered as extraordinary by someone. Your loss dudes. Just remember who runs the world...
