Mr. I'm a "catch"

If you have been keeping up with my posts, you will recall that last week I spoke of having met, Latest Larry.  Well, we are now going to call him, “All about me Larry”.    Larry and I have now gone on two dates and both times, Larry spends the entire time speaking about himself and/or his business.   On the first date I let it slide, but by the second date I was just annoyed.  Having decided that this guy is no longer “dateable” I start quizzing him just to peel back yet another layer of the male psyche, what I found was quite telling.  I asked Larry, “what do you want from me”.  Larry says, “well, I’m conflicted, my penis wants sex, but my other side craves connection”.  I said, “which side do you want to listen to”.  Larry says, “I don’t really want a relationship, so I’d like listen to my penis”.  To this I say, interesting,  so you want to just have sex with me.  I’m not sure when these type of conversations became ok, but in L.a., I’ve learned not to be surprised and just take whatever comes.  In further discussion, I question, well, why you are not seeking a relationship.  To this he says, “I’m a catch”.  Wow.  Really guy.  Ok, Larry is cute, but I had to understand what he really meant. Tell me more I said, he says, “in L.a. 90% of girls would want to date me and they aren’t bringing anything to the table, so I don’t really feel the need to pick”.  I was floored.  Clearly I’m in the 10%, but that’s irrelevant, he plans to spend time exploring the 90% before landing on one.  Additionally, he didn’t seem to care that I was in the 10%.   Needless to say this Larry is history.  And if you are asking what he defines as his being a catch, he means, “cute and I manage up and coming artists”….OH OK. That’s what the “big catch” looks like these days.  Got it!
