Some new information recently came to light regarding two different posts...I mentioned a friend of mine who had a girlfriend of 2 years and how I hadn't even met her yet...he's incidentally the same one who matter of fact stated, "Dude, it's not my job to hook you up."....right....well...it seems as if his girl is friend's with the girl I randomly ran into at the bar...the one who I texted at the bar...read my "Fate Walks In" post for more....
What makes this particular story even more astonishing is that he knew I liked that chick years ago and knew all about that encounter and my soft pursuit of her....back then...sure he probably forgot about it...but when he tells me he saw her this past Halloween...and how good she looked...and that his girl "talks to her all the time"....well...that was a bit much for me....clearly...this guy isn't the friend he claims to be....and clearly...he's about as self-serving as they come...after all...what good will come of it...for him.?????....by saying something to this girl or to his girl.....I even suggested it might be kind of funny for him to tell his girl about my blog...not referencing me specifically or what his relationship is to me....just to see her reaction to the blog and to see if she ends up forwarding it to any of her girlfriends....but he wouldn't even go that far.....
A part of me thinks him...as well as others I know...don't want to make the extra effort because they don't feel I have enough to offer....besides of course, being a generally good guy with a good heart and.....fun....like that matters anymore...guess not enough....because I don't drive a fancy car or make a lot of money....or have an established career...or worse....still pursue meaningless sex.....oh the horror...."they" don't deem me as a good enough catch.....yet "they" wonder why I complain......hmmm.....I wonder why....
Back to the married friend's wife who is the one person who will set me up....I've concluded part of the reason is because she's Jewish...that's what real Jewish mothers do...they make "shit-ahhchs"...I know I misspelled the Yiddish.....in English....they match make....but it's more than that with her...one...she actually likes me and respects me.....that helps....but two.....she gets me....she knows what I'm about.....and what I go through.....she's also secure enough with herself and in her relationship with her husband (my friend) to not give a shit what "happens" between me and whoever she introduces me to....she even tried to set me up once with someone she never met...but knew her Aunt and was getting harassed by the Aunt to help find someone for her niece....believe me..."harass" is the right word...you have to be Jewish to understand.....naturally I had to see a picture of said niece first and when she turned out to be on a 'lil on the chunky side....my friend couldn't believe it...not my reaction...she agreed with me...she couldn't believe what a fuss the Aunt was making over her niece despite her being more than a 'lil overweight...especially when she's trying to get athletic thin Jewish guys interested....my friend wanted to say something to the Aunt like tell your niece to lose some weight first....and then we'll talk.....now that...is a cool chick....
Basically...I've had a nearly exact opposite kind of conversation with another married friend's wife...now...keep in mind...she's not Jewish...and I'm not going to sit here and judge her relationship with my friend....but certainly...she doesn't "get me" the way this other one does....well maybe she does get me....she just doesn't respect me....and of course is very concerned about herself...here's the scenario...
I was in town visiting them and somehow their baby sitter came up...relax...she's in grad school...as in over 21.....and I said let me see picture...and she showed me an on-line profile...and yadda yadda...she's a nurse...her mother hates her current/former boyfriend....and she's Jewish....guess what?....the boyfriend wasn't....I tell her how Jewish Mothers all love me and that certainly won't be a problem....but then she objected to our age difference....granted...our age difference is a factor...but not for me...I'm just as comfortable being with someone 15 years younger as I am 15 years older...I relate well to all ages and all kinds of people...I think that makes me more admirable....not less...I said, "Well...that should be something for your baby-sitter friend to decide...not you..."...now...this whole discussion was very hypothetical....because I did not live in town...and nothing serious was ever going to happen here...it was more like a what if I did live here discussion......
The "baby-sitter" factor played a big role because she proclaimed, "Steve!...She's my baby-sitter. She watches my babies! They love her"....as if to say...I can't have you deflowering my kid's baby-sitter...it'd be much better for her to have some random dooshbag college guy over while she takes care of the kids than someone she actually knows....in other words, if things went bad with me and her then she'd be out of a baby sitter...I don't see how that could happen.....the other factor was that my friend's wife worked with the baby-sitter's mother....and if things went bad she'd get blamed by the mother...making it impossible to work with her.....that's when I reminded her about all Jewish Mothers loving me so that wasn't going to be a problem..but with her not being a Jewish Mother..she couldn't quite grasp the concept....
So basically...it became about me potentially fucking up her life by going out with this girl....I never thought of myself as having the ability or more impressively...the power to fuck any one's life up...so I guess..in some weird way...maybe it's a compliment that she feels so strongly about me...it is interesting to me how she immediately went to the negative side of things...instead of thinking positively....like OMG...these two could actually hit it off...fall in love...and live happily ever after...and they'll have me to thank for it.....no...she couldn't go there....why?....cause she's not Jewish....of course.....the irony being...I myself prefer a non-Jewish girl.....fascinating, huh?....I am an enigma.....
