wait, who the hell is THEY?
So here is something I wonder... Why do people always want to give you advice by saying....'you know what THEY say.'........ Who the f*ck is 'THEY'? Who gets to be in this group who hands out information like, 'you shouldn't swim for 30 minutes after you eat...' I feel like saying...'listen 'THEY', don't tell me how to live my life.' Wait, how does one get to be a part of this 'THEY'? Do you have to try out? Is it a special club? Do I have to apply? Can I get a student loan for this? Or maybe I too can just start my own fascist regime of sorts where I can just start handing out random information under the guise of 'THEY'. Yeah - that's it!!! Like, 'you know what 'THEY' say, you should give me a dollar every time I give you advice' or 'you know what 'THEY' say, honking too much can mess up your car' 'you know what 'THEY' say, picking your nose can give you nose herpes'...really, anything - no matter how random, could be used.

Why Are You Single?
Why are you single? The Dreaded Question! This is the question that not only single people ask themselves, but usually their friends who are in relationships will inject politely into a conversation (and its always annoying). Generally the answer is as simple as it is complex. And wow isn’t that a stupid answer?
I’ll elaborate, my situation for instance I am a stand up comedian and that means I’m on the road for at least half the year. This can be is easily relatable to people who work long hours or who also go out of town for business. These schedules are more common in today’s world and require a special kind of partner, one who feels that absence makes the heart grow fonder. And also in my situation it’s important to me that this special kind of lady has a nice booty.
So in this case we have two hurdles, the fact I have a less then desirable personal availability combined with the fact that I’m picky when it comes to booty. Just sheer statistics I’m cutting out many possible candidates.
Lets say you have no problems meeting people, but you have problems expanding a relationship past that. Maybe you are committing some of these major dating mistakes.
Major dating mistakes AKA Date Killers:
1. You are smelly: Maybe you have bad breath or Body odor problems or even overpowering cologne. And now you must realize that scent is the closest sense tied to memory. Its some Mammalian reflex linked into our survival instincts; it just means that if you stink people can’t live with you. It can be hard to realize you stink, especially if you have bad breath. If there is any doubt gargle with mouth wash and Febreeze your armpits.
2. You are too opinionated: Everybody should have an opinion, but not everyone should express it. Remember very few people like a know it all but everyone loves a good listener. Score big points for calling back to points your date mentioned earlier on in the conversation (don’t take it overboard)Too Much Opinion.
3. You have too much baggage: We all have our demons in the closet and we all have regrets. But follow what are Grandparents use to do, take most of your secrets to the grave and die with a full closet. I’m just saying wait until you’re a few dates in before you mentions how your last partner cheated on you, and how you still share a dog together. How many cats do you have?
4. You are cheap: Guess why Scrooge was alone? Because he didn’t share the wealth, don’t wait for the ghost of Christmas past to come a knocking. If you are broke find ways around having to spend money, its called being romantic. It was invented by guys who had no money. Take your date for a walk in the park and have a picnic or even better make them a collage out of old magazine clippings and seashells (I’m kidding crafts are creepy).
5. You are too picky: Sometimes you have to realize that you’re not Brad Pitt. You’ll have to find beauty in places that you’re not accustomed. Try focusing on the positive; like she’s 300lbs but wow those are skinny wrists. An emotional connection is harder to find than a physical one, so remember that when it comes time to decide on the next date.
6. You are boring: Pick it up a bit; if you spend all of your time starring at the TV then what you need is an exciting hobby. Take up skydiving or scuba diving, anything with the word diving in the title should do the trick (muff diving?).
You are putting me to sleep!
7. You are constantly correcting people: (see you are too opinionated). There is no need to express your superiority of the English language or your expansive knowledge of table etiquette. That’s what marriage is for, that’s when its time to try and change someone. But for the dating stages of the relationship just make a note and deal with it later.
8. You bring your own cheese: I know they always charge you extra for the cheese, and it is usually some processed product that sucks. But it’s embarrassing carrying around an assortment of cheeses, especially for that initial dating period; leave that small fanny pack filled with deliciousness at home.
Fanny pack! oh my. In Europe they call it a bum bag... weirdos.
