We decided to stay local and go out close to home. We ended the night in a dive bar near the beach. I am a lover of dive bars... the people watching is always the best. As terrible as it is to say, and don't act like you don't agree, some of the people in dive bars make me feel pretty good about me and my life. Don't judge me. You know you have thought and felt the same thing at some point in your life as well. Tonight was no different.
Meet Keith:
Keith was wearing a suit. Isn't he fancy? Yup, I thought so too.
Keith went on to tell Joelle and I all about his lack of a sex life and how he is currently on his "man period" due to his current dry spell. According to Keith, women use their cycle as an excuse to be extraordinarily bitchy so guys get to use their dry spells for the same. Keith is a scholar, CLEARLY!
For most of the conversation I was speechless... which says something because it takes a lot for me to be at a loss for words. As I continued to listen to Keith and Joelle exchange words - most of which consisted of Joelle making fun of Keith and Keith not realizing it - I couldn't help but laugh. Laugh and die inside a little bit.
THIS IS WHO WE HAVE TO CHOOSE FROM!?!?
I mean, SERIOUSLY.
I wish I could say that Keith is the exception, but I am finding that Keith is actually the rule and I am looking for the exception. Now I will say, I was out in a part of town that tends to beckon Keith and men that are just like him, but I also know that "Keith" is in every bar, at every club, and is always seated at my table at weddings and events.
So, as long as Keith is who we have to choose from... I will likely be single until this Zombie Apocalypse that everyone keeps talking about happens.
