The only thing this Grape is severely lacking is... (drumroll)... men. Actually let me re-phrase this because there are statistically 14 guys to every girl... REWIND nem ...(llormurd) ...si gnikcal ylereves si eparG siht gniht ylno ehT PLAY The only thing this Grape is severely lacking is... (drumroll?)... decent/not gay/real.... men. WESTSIDE MASSIVE SIGH.
There is probably a lot of eye rolling at this point.. be careful, eye rolling is actually bad for your cornea, just letting you know. We've all heard it, sad single lady bitching about men in this town. ha! I may be single and I may bitch.. at some point... but I am not sad! Nope, I am just curious, I want to know why it's like this. Because it's not just me, it's most of my friends, their friends and their friend's friends.
Yes, welcome to the tragic/frustrating/interesting/hilarious/dumbfounding life of a 23 year old, single, brunette in Cape Town... AKA The Big Grape.
So let's get to know me a little better:
1. I am 23
2. I am Libran
3. I work in advertising
4. I drive a 1989 Merc called Dallas
5. I don't do shots
6. I love beer but hardly drink it
7. I love wine even more and drink it too much
8. I am Jewish
9. I am a morning person
10. I am single
11. I have never had a real relationship
12. I like dogs, I don't like cats
13. I cant take care of plants at the moment, this worries me.. slightly.
14. I secretly wish I was a fighter pilot .. UUUH NOT.. I hate flying.
15. I recently joined an online dating site
16. My first date from the site was a disaster
17. I like watermelon
18. I can play the guitar
19. I made the mistake of watching the second season of Gossip Girl before the first
20. I like Arsenal
So my online dating disaster? I'll keep it brief because it's sunday and I'm lazy.
Lawyer/diver guy.. was a little shorter than I expected, he also spoke like one of my ex's.. He argued with most things I said.. thinking back on this I figured it was because he is a lawyer, He also told me his ex girlfriend was Roxy Louw.. yes and my ex was Brad Pitt. Anyhoo.. I ended up sleeping with him anyway.. which was awful. But I did it for two reasons:
1. I wanted to get over H ( an ex who I have known for 5 years, but whom I only got together with last year June..who also just left for vail to ski last for a year, who I think I fell in love with and who broke my heart, very often, and still does..in the form of random phone calls "I miss you" sms's and drunken "I miss you" skype chats. sigh)
2. I wanted to have sex, I needed it, it had been a while (since last year November).
Anyway's .... haha.. totally never seeing that guy again.
Online dating is like going shopping. Actually, it's like getting a catalogue from the men-store. Most people are weird/are only on it for sex/are waaaay too old. But there are some diamonds in the rough.. Lawyer/diver guy wasn't one of these.. but hey...
So I have now decided to do this properly. I have my list of components below and will tick off as I go along. This list may include men from the real world as well as the online dating world.
1. Stellenbosch guy: 23, Studying at Stellenbosh University, cute, but isn't staying here when he finishes. ODW
2. IT guy: 25, semi-cute, a bit too forward, dated somebody from my high school, fun ODW
3. D: 35, lives near me, good-looking, cancerian, witty, successful ODW
4. H: ex.. but not, always drunk, always calling, always missing me, always disappointing me RW
OK so the ODW outweighs the RW.. but HELLO this is what I am trying to point out with this whole "lack of men" in the Grape.
This is the reality people.
Till next time
TBG
