I sent a friend an email yesterday, asking him about his recent holiday in Jamaica and jokingly asked whether he had hooked up with any of the ladies there. His response, this morning - "yep...I did."
I mean, is this some kinda personal crisis that everyone and their mama can meet someone and I cannot? Maybe I am not putting myself in the right places to meet the right people - like maybe Hawaii was a poor man-picker-upper choice of vacation/birthday spot cause there was nothing worth my time - or maybe I am still just too selective. People make selective seem like such a bad thing. Okay, tell me...let's look at my current man basket and you tell me if I am being selective.
Tamale's Man Basket - I am looking at the main players, and not the passersby. I have indicated how we met and a bit about the man.
Bomb - Met through work. 40-something, not young nor hard bodied, handsome though, separated from the missus, too busy for the average Tamale, too rakish and flirtatious for the average Tamale. Very Rhett Butler-esque. Has a bit of a bad boy quality to him - though he is more like a bad child who likes mischief. Non-committal, especially dealing with newfound freedom from a bad marriage. With a wife in the past and kids, the man has some baggage.
Adonis - Met on vacation. 30-something. BO-DEE for days. He has some awesome awesome specs - great ass, great abs, great pecs, great arms, great legs, great piggy. He is a specimen of physical perfection. Handsome too. Very smitten and adores the Tamale very very much. Very kind and loving. Great sex. Typical male issues like cannot properly communicate his emotions. Lives miles and miles away in London. Single but has 3 kids. 3 Kids = a farm. Farm = baggage. lol.
The newcomers - former colleagues we will call Burt (lol) and buddy we will call Ace.
Burt - Met through work. 40-something. No hard body unless you mean the hard pot belly. Great happy hour buddy. Great limer. No attraction to him though - not in that physical sense. Not the sexy kinda ole man I like. Some men are old but sexy, like bomb, even with a full head of greying hair, even if the body eh all there, but there is an aura. Burt has an aura I am sure, but his aura does not attract me. Kid somewhere out there in the world. Kid out there = baby mama somewhere.
Ace - Met online. Yes...you read it right. Online. lol. 30-something. Again, the body is just not there. Hairy beyond belief, except where it matters most. On his head. I must admit, I am a McDreamy kinda hair girl. I love a man with some hair. When you're doing naughty things, you wanna run your fingers through some hair. Or just play with some hair while watching tv. You don't want to apply sun tan lotion to the spot where there used to be hair. lol. Very laid back, very sweet, kind, thoughtful, affectionate. Husband material I think. No kids. Never been married so no family type baggage. The sex - well...there's a deal breaker right there. This is something that may need to be explored again in the future - to make sure. But a lifetime of bad sex is not something I am willing to accept to beat loneliness.
So friends, what do you think? Overly picky? Only Burt actually lives here but I am willing to relocate for my man, but are any of these men worth it? So far...not too sure.
I always hoped it would work out with Adonis... you seemed to happy when you met him. But London/Trinidad sucks (like with many other JS'ers... ooops bloggers). Sometimes you find the ideal person when you stop looking. I know, difficult to do {hugs}
ReplyDeleteP.S. I like lots of head hair, too, but prefer no hair anywhere else, especially on the chest or, heaven forbid, on the back!
Oh, well Ace has hair on the back and it grosses me out. He says he wants to do the electrolysis bit. How such a sweet guy could be so wrong physically is my cross to bear. lol.
ReplyDeleteAdonis...gosh. He is like Mr Tamale but we will see. I am hoping he will visit me this year. We will see, dearest Westy...we will see.
I'd choose the richest - with the worst cough.
ReplyDeleteFailing that - the one you can most easily manipulate!
Time to clean out the basket for 09.
the basket needs throwing out. not just cleaning. lol
ReplyDeleteI don’t think anyone would call you picky.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds as if Adonis is the one – but perhaps that’s because I’m a Brit and feel I should show a bit of national unity.
I vote for Adonis. Have you ever considered moving to London? I know he has a farm but the older we get, the less chance we have of meeting someone with baggage. Dutchie may not have kids but his other shit makes up for it hahahaha
ReplyDeleteOooops, I meant to say WITHOUT baggage.
ReplyDeleteWhat's keeping you in Trinidad?
ReplyDeletenothing
ReplyDeleteYou are NOT being too picky. A girl has got to have standards. And if you "settle", you'll never be content.
ReplyDeleteI'm not voting for Adonis like the others. He seems like the love 'em and leave 'em type. And with 3 kids, not overly cautious about birth control either!
My vote is for none of the above. As Lermontov says, time for a new basket Tamale.
I vote for the Adonis, hands down. Kids can be a lot of fun too. ;)
ReplyDeleteGood luck!
"And with 3 kids, not overly cautious about birth control either!"
ReplyDeleteKimmy...you hit the nail on the head. I mean, glad he's so fertile but God! Use a condom! And I always tell people, I am not stepmama material. It's my kids or no kids. lol
Hrmmm. From your descriptions it sounds like you a put a lot of emphasis on looks. Perhaps that is part of the downfall. I still don't think you should consider a man with whom you cannot have good sex, although sometimes it takes a bit for that to break through (at least in my experience). Can you communicate with the Ace-man about it, maybe see if he's got more tricks up his sleeve or something? :P
