I was born an ugly child. As time progressed I grew to be an ugly teenager. I went through high school without a girlfriend, very few dates even. After high school something amazing happened...I went to college and discovered...I had become an ugly young adult.

In my lonliness and misery I lowered my standards enough that I did manage to get a few dates. Actually there was one girl that would have met anyone's standards, but she dumped me for a cowboy from Montana the first chance she got.

Some time in my twenties I married a girl who suffered from various mental illnesses, the least of which was extremely poor taste. Eventually happily ever after became not quite so miserable for short periods of time.

After my divorce I started trying the online dating thing. I made the mistake of posting my picture in my profile and in the first year I had only 1 woman who was interested in me. She was way out of my league so I pretty much ignored her. (I think she thought I wasn't interested in her, so ladies if you have had something like that happen to you I'm sorry. It wasn't that I wasn't interested, just too intimidated.)

Then, at the start of my second year on the dating sites I met a beautiful woman, and surprizingly, she was interested in me. We met and she swept me off my feet. She was perfect, there was no way I would ever do better. I had found forever. The only problem was, how could ugly old me ever hold on to a wonderful creature like her? My jealousy was too much and she was gone.

I was devastated. I went back to the online dating sites, hoping that maybe there was a desperate crack whore out there who had lost enough brain cells to find me appealing. I know I was rushing things, and I was looking for love for all the wrong reasons, but I figured it would be at least a year or two before I even made contact with anyone. Wrong!

Somewhere along the line something had happened. Women started approaching me in RL. I got phone #s just walking through Walmart. Online my mailboxes were full. I was camming, IMing, and talking on the phone to multiple women at the same time. I actually had to turn dates down because of my dating schedule.

This is the point where I should deliver a punchline or try selling a program or pill that could make this happen for you. Sorry I don't have a program or a pill. There is no punchline, except maybe a great karmic/cosmic punchline. I'm sure God is getting a chuckle out of all this. I know I would be.

See, the great joke is this. When I couldn't have a woman in my life I would have done anything to have one. I would have given you anything that was in my power to give. I would have been your adoring love slave forever. Now that I have opportunities and actual choices in who I date, I really don't care all that much. I think I'd really rather be alone. I actually have learned to like myself and I enjoy my life.

Maybe there is some one out there that I really want to spend my life with. Maybe...but if not, oh well.
