Day 27: The fix isn't the fix.

OK, so came into the summer going, you know what, my life with women sucks. They either turn me down, call me their "best friend" (which for the record I don't mind at most points), or it ends up badly because Stendhal's approach was not followed, and I have no reason to believe anything short of an act of God will be successful outside of his theory.

My proposed fix was to make a list of all potential candidates. Find the good girls, and if something happens eventually, then great. But if you make the list (Sorry Santa, stole the idea. I still want presents this year) it makes it much easier to decide if a girl is worth it or not when the opportunity arises.

The problem with this fix? That list is burning up faster than napalm-drenched cardboard. They're all taken, and will be for a long time. I mean, there are couples that look good together, but when you see someone genuinely happy and glowing, you don't want to mess that up, and it's likely to go on for a long time. So if you're not one of the two, you're hung out to dry.

And it's like that. At every turn. And it sucks.

I hate being on the outside looking in.
