When I grow up I want to be a rocket surgeon.

Not that you seem to have a great deal of trouble with men, but if you were a rocket surgeon, you'd be drowning in 'em. Drowning, I tells ya!

I've been performing rocket surgery for years. It's easy!

Don't look for smart first, look for funny. Funny girls are smart by default (unless they're chelsea handler funny, which is to say, not funny at all.) I don't think you're picky. Maybe whoever's sayin you're picky says so because they see you turn down favorable chick prospects for fear of scary hard work/rejection that comes along with chasing tail? I'm not postulating or proposing this to be true, just asking if you think that happens.

Now I have to go to the local tv station to perform rocket surgery on the brains of the unwashed masses.

You're just copying me because I've been listening to Nirvana.

I don't think you're picky at all. Your requirements are pretty straightforward and "normal." If you'd said "must be smart, employed, not have kids, and look like (insert name of supermodel/incredibly hot actress here)", then yeah, that would be a problem.

Personally, I've always wanted to date a rocket surgeon, too.

What time did you wind up getting off work last night?

Lessee... pretty, smart, funny, charming... all worthless if she's a back-stabbing turncoat wingnut.

That is SO true.

Metallica AND Nirvana in the same month? I... I'm so proud...

Just avoid the Friend Zone.

Sadly -- and ladies, go ahead and blast me -- smart women (most especially the physically attractive ones) tend to wind up torqued on one level or another in our society.

I, for one, will sadly agree with that statement. It's also rare to find smart, sensitive menfolks who haven't been bludgeoned into creepiness by their thirties. But you lads, and the likes of mr.darkness, are proof that they DO exist!

Heh, I was no exception when I met Mishka -- she'll tell you flat out that I said "Hi, my name is Bill and I'm a bit of a mess right now, but if you bear with me a bit I promise I clean up nicely ( ... )

These are not unreasonable wants. I would look instead at why your friends might be saying that - do they perceive you as being overly negative, are they worried that you're lonely, or are they perhaps happily coupled and not realizing how hard it is to meet people? (I think it's very hard for adults even to make new friends, let alone meet The One. If I didn't have LJ, I'd hardly know anyone!)
