THIS Is Why I’m Still Single (In Case You Were Wondering)
December 8, 2008
I love getting the question, “Why are you still single?” How exactly is someone supposed to answer that? “Well, I don’t know, I guess I’m just completely unlovable.” Ha.
I think that a lot of my friends assume that because I live in a city, it must be easy as pie to meet men. Well, it’s not that it’s not easy to meet men; it’s just not easy to meet quality men. There’s a big difference. Don’t get me wrong, San Francisco is full of good-looking, successful, witty single guys—who all insist on acting like they’re 19 (until they reach the age of, oh, I don’t know, 40).
So to those people who would like to know why I’m still single, I’d like to offer Exhibit A, a video enough people have sent to me that I feel the need to post. It features an actual San Francisco single male in his natural habitat, at one of the Marina’s finest (sarcasm) bars:
I ask: Would YOU want to date this guy? I didn’t think so.

That video is hilarious and so telling, huh? Sounds like we share the same vibes. Great reading.

I don’t know, he seems like kind of a fun-loving guy. Uninhibited, passionate, and I’m sure a lover of hikes and organic produce if you were to ask him about those things.

What’s the word for when someone blames everyone else for their own problems?? I forget…

Fair enough, Dude, fair enough. I could see how this post could be read that way. I don’t think I’ve ever said I was perfect, though.
Oh, and then again, what’s the word for someone who comments on blogs and leaves a fake email address? I forget…

That was the scariest thing I’ve seen since “Silence of the Lambs”!

The fact that you think the Marina is “natural habitat” for a single male in SF is telling enough. The Marina is the natural habitat for douchebags so your first step might be going out in other parts of the city where real people hang out. Unless you are a cougar-in-training, then by all means keep going to City Tavern.

Hey, Mark Wahlberg, say Hi to my mother for me.

Oh good lord. I don’t know what’s more frightening, this video or the fact that the guy in it was talking straight to the camera – KNEW HE WAS BEING FILMED.
Men like him are why I had to stop hanging out in bars.

I am so sorry, but I think I know this guy from UCSB. Their initial douchebag assessment is right on! As 31 year old single girl of San Francisco, I felt your pain and then moved the hell away.
Keep away from the Marina boys…
