Temporary stain

It seems that singles tend to look for the same qualities and characteristics in a partner [similar to the term "boyfriend/bf" but strangely that classification doesn't sit too well with me].

I can't speak on behalf of every single individual but i do know what i MAY be attracted to. It helps that one rides on the same wave length and is able to carry a conversation instead of the typical one word answer to every question. Understanding sarcasm and being able to deliver does keep the ball rolling.

Someone who is genuinely interested in getting to know the other. I've met numerous people who have a tendency to regurgitate stored information than to actually listen. You would be surprised at how many people like to hear themselves talk... and talk... and talk.

I believe that having manners is simple courtesy. I'm no feminist but at the same time, i do appreciate when a man makes an effort. There is no need to shout unless you happen to be rounding up cattle. In which case, i doubt we'd have much in common. But then again, trying to keep an open mind is the key [advice much easier to preach than to accept].

Then there are those that put up a front and wave their obnoxious shield, as a way of easing their discomfort. Being rude will only get a person so far and to be honest, it's an unattractive quality that people take on.

Which brings me on to physical appearance. Obviously, there must be some attraction in order to move on to the next step. Why else do women spend so much money on cosmetics and enduring plucking procedures... for fun? I don't think so.

It is within those few minutes of an initial introduction that one mentally sizes up a person. Looking at ones' body language is a true sign whether one is interested. It is that sexual attraction that's not too intense where all one can think about is getting into the others' pants, it's just enough to spark interest.

But honestly, why is it so hard to find someone nowadays?

An old age question that tends to brew in the minds of all ages. And as much as i'd like to believe that if one doesn't look for "it", it will happen. My conclusion to that is, screw that! Whoever said that was obviously taken.

Perhaps i surround myself with a bubble that reads "FUCK OFF". Even portraying an image that supports that notion. And that it is no wonder that i stand alone and feed on a broken heart. Envious of someone that i'm not and always feeling like i don't belong.

My only solution is to try and remove myself, like a stain that refuses to budge. Nobody deserves to feel like this. So i take on this absurd lease on life and ATTEMPT to make a conscious effort to rearrange things in my life...
