Once again, it's guys at fault for not being earthbound gods.

Yes, I speak of this article from the reporting genius that is The New Zealand Herald.

If you're not planning on reading it here are some excerpts for you:

"There are just no guys around. There's a definite drought

So basically a bunch of swamp donkeys are mooing about not getting swooped off their feet, wined, dined and given hot hot Johnny Depp cunnilingus, and someone has decided this is news? Fuck me running, uggos have been bitching about not getting the good-lookers since deformed protozoa whined at their neighbours about the lack of svelte single-celled hotties stroking their flagellums...

I blame reality television. Whereas once there was the us-and-them split between actors and proles, now we're being told the bronzed fuckpigs on telly are Average Joes Picked from the Street and as such every mutant bushpig expects them to walk down THEIR street with their cocks out JUST FOR THEM. Which is a lie. We are lied to by television. Wherefore art my five-minutes-a-day-rick-hard-abs?

The point is, people have to set their sights lower. Sort of around, say, my height. Helooooo, desperate laydees.

I still find it funny that no less than three email responses you've had used the word "vapid" in reference to such women.

Well, I can relate to an extent. However, I wouldn't put the problem down to bad shoes but a complete lack of a backbone. Guys these days are complete pushovers! Submissive, clingy, doe-eyed puppy-dogs ain't attractive.

Also, a couple of friends recently said in regards to my single status that there's just no-one single or good enough.

Hey, they said it, not me :P

[megalumpy]

Unfortunately people have said that about me too.

Go figure.

Maybe we're just too good for everyone out there. Yeah let's go with that theory and start our own elite club.

Another thing to note is that these days a lot of us have succumbed to the society's pressure of being the perfect male/female by adapting roles of the other. Men are not asked to be big, tough and masculine but sensitive and caring, women on the other hand are seen as weak if they display any feminine charactaristics and are more often strong and independant. And yet, male or female, we want someone who will fit into the traditional gender role; guys want someone submisive, docile and motherly, us girlies want a big strong man who can protect us.

(personally I don't think sensitive has to equal weak. The quote "pull your head out of your ass, just don't pull your spine out with it" is one of my favourites)

It's not a shortage of men. It's a shortage of men who would want to sleep with these women. Go go men with standanrds!

I would like to be known that I am no short.

And I could be described as 'standards compliant'...
