On the other hand, you occasionally meet some very nice people.<br /><br />Part of the problem is the "fast food" consumptive nature of it all, and, um, the bold-faced lies. And I don't mean the obvious tweaks to this or that. So yes, America in a microcosm. Especially in these days of searching for the quick fix.<br /><br />DM's idea is a good one. And believe it or not, airports <i>used </i>to be great places to meet interesting people. These days?

Doesn't matter...Online dating sucks completely. Doesn't matter if it's OKCUpid, match, eharmony, chemistry, craigs. It blows!<br /><br />Go sit in a coffee house with a good book, and bat your eyelashes while you're not reading it. A book is a great conversation piece, especially if it's something some guy had a chance in hell of reading. (Maybe pick a book that's already a movie)<br /><br />I prefer meeting women in real life!!! <br /><br />But I do enjoy your carnival story.dadshousehttp://dadshouseblog.comnoreply@blogger.com
