“F” Settling

So lately I keep meeting what feels like the same Larry.  They look different, they sound different but at the end of the day, the end results remain constant, Larry doesn’t move me, he is not the Larry I want.   Could it be I am experiencing “dating fatigue”?  Maybe my receptors have had to process so many different Larry’s the system is now broken.   Is this even possible?  I think in this city there are so many options of Larry’s you can date, so many good looking options, it’s easy to lose sight of what you are into, what you truly want.  Maybe there is something to be said about making a short list of what you want and don’t want in a relationship.  But how do you put in a list “the feeling I haven’t had before”.  You can’t write that.  Instead you make a list of the qualities you can identify, which may or may not culminate into that “feeling”, that subconscious feeling that you can’t put into words.  And with the end of each Larry, you add something to the list you thought your list was missing, as if that would have made it work.  I think the list really just results in dating profiles, profiles of things you think you want, that in theory, should do it.  I don’t operate with a list, though I might need to reconsider creating a loose outline.  

As I approach fatigue, I wonder if this is around the same time women settle aka Trade Up to a Ford Larry.  I read on AskMen that there is a trend for women settling (lol, DuH, what trend, this has been going on for ever).  AskMen listed the Top 10 reasons of how men can know they are being settled for.  What a horrible list to make, this should “F” up a lot of relationships.  I’m sure some poor guy is out there right now coming to the realization that he has been living a lie.  One thing I found interesting about the list was that of all the things they had on the top 10, “she is way hotter than you”, wasn’t one of them.  I immediately flagged the list as rigged, as I can’t imagine how that would not be on there.  Is one to assume that we really want to hook up with a guy that has sub-par looks? LOL!  You can check out the list here.

 Fatigue or not, settling is for wimps, unless of course your eggs are rotting and you haven’t been on a date since the Titanic.  I’m not there, Korean Larry is back in a week and I’m getting on that.  Sticking it out with sweetness Larry (still no sex), and leaving the door open for latest Larry! “F” Settling!!!  Happily Married Settled is not an option.  I want my Lamborghini of Larry’s.
