Pick On Debbie Night by John O'Sullivan Hello, John. You ask me why I am still single? Its not men who are the problem - its the women I have to put up with when I go out to meet the men. Women pull you apart when you're out with them - they have issues. I might be younger, more intelligent, etc. But women are such complete bitches when they know someone like me might be a barrier to them meeting a man. Its like being back in the caves but I am civilised and don’t need all that nonsense. Of course, I have baggage - who hasn’t at our age? I'd lost several people in my life in a space of a year - these were family members and my husband. I had a bit of a breakdown. But I worked through it. That all happened in 2005 and it hit me when I stopped to reflect and that was the day I collapsed. I got over it after some hiccups along the way but some friends haven’t allowed me to get over it and get back to normal. They throw it back in my face when they want to hurt me. If my leg had been broken and not my heart and soul then it would have been easier - after all if someone wants to attack you for not getting through a broken leg months after you've been walking properly they would be seen to be totally barking right? But when I stand up for myself or show any emotion it’s back to square one. Last night in a club I was enjoying a bit of banter with two men from work who were 'allowed out' by their girlfriends. I was having a laugh and taking the 'p' a bit - I observed that a lot of men who are “attached” wear those baggy shirts bought by women who think it makes the man look better, or to hide the beer belly. But tighter fitted clothes are sexier than something resembling a sack. But the women I was with didn’t understand that this sort of conversation is 'normal' and men do it all the time. But the result was a start of a 'pick on Debbie night' where the girls thought I was being nasty to the men. Women just don’t understand banter and then the nasty drunk in the group tried to take me down a few pegs for my own good. She brings up stuff in my past, which is over, and tells me that she was fed up hearing about it. I know now I won’t hear from you I don’t hear back from many men on this dating site - men apparently don’t like baggage. By the way what size shirt do you take?
