The Contenders

So, who are these men folk who are trying to virtually charm my pants off? Let’s begin:

~ Professor: one of the first ones to email me. I’m hesitant about this one. He’s hot and has a great body, but he looks like a bit of a d-bag in his main pic. Very frat boy-esque. And then there’s the whole age thing. Since the past 2 idiots I’ve actually liked have both been 29 (so is he) and both gone weird on me, I’m beginning to think I was right when I was going after the old men. (Granted…I had something to do with weirding out the said 29 year olds.) He’s a high school teacher which doesn’t really speak to his being rich like I like ‘em but he’s not in “the biz” and yet has a steady job, which is somewhat of a rarity here in Hollywood. I read his profile aloud to my roommate. She deems him appropriate. I hem and haw and say I’m not sure but she insists I email him back. Fine. She wins.

~ Old Balls: this is a horrible name for a very nice man but my friend and I used it and it stuck, I can’t help it. He’s the one I had favorited in the first round and who had, in turn, ignored me. Awesome. But since I liked him the first time I guess it’s a good sign that he’s emailed me, right? He speaks a bit old school, calling me “m’lady” and such, but it’s not overdone. Plus he has 2 CUTE doggies and I am a sucker for those pics. I email him back.

~ The Actor: oh hell. I have promised myself NO ACTORS. But this one lists his income as significant and no where in his profile mentions that he is an actor (a wise move, sir). The only reason I suspect this as his profession is due to a headshot as one of the pictures he has posted. Hey, maybe he’s a real estate agent. They take cheesy headshots too, right? I winked at this guy the first round and he ignored me then but *surprise* thanks to the new profile, he responds to my wink with an email. This is starting to go to my head.

~ San Diego: I noticed this guy in my recommendations the site gives me. I think he is way too hot for me (wait! No! none of that! I am hot enough!) but am feeling rather brazen thanks to all the emails and winks I’m receiving so I agree with the site and say I’m interested. He’s a gorgeous, tall, well built black man. Coincidentally, this is usually “my type.” His profile is interesting too, albeit a little wordy. He’s 38 and makes a good living. Done and done. He sends me a very long email introducing himself which, being rather wordy myself, I am impressed as opposed to creeped out. He lives in San Diego but I love it there and it’s only 2 hours away. No big deal.

I have emailed with a few other guys but they either are emailing me back too slow or fail to keep my interest and as such, I lose them in the sea of emails in my inbox. Oops. Oh, and Crikey is still on the scene somehow. He’s on the back burner for the moment because he texted me the other day asking why I’ve got no love for him. Um, excuse me sir? YOU’RE the one who canceled on ME not once but TWICE. If your accent wasn’t so darn charming and your face not so darn attractive we probably wouldn’t even be having this conversation! But priorities first: time for me to give the new guys a shot before I start rearranging plans for the JV squad player.

Whenever I want a really nice meal, I start dating again,
