I'm a scary monster. Rar.

Got the following message today online:

You're gorgeous but also very intimidating I was somewhat nervous to message you but said what do I have to lose lol. The fact your on this site gives me very little hope for myself lol. I'm Ben by the way if you're at all attracted to me I'd love to talk sometime!

I've been wondering a little about this lately, because I hear this from people all the time (who, unsolicited, try to decide why I'm still single. That's annoying and insulting, by the way--don't do that). They decide that men must be intimidated by me. My initial reaction has always been that this is bullshit--I'm no supermodel. I'm very nice and approachable. People like me date all the time--why would men be intimidated to talk to me in particular?

The Realist recently did some unscientific research (a'la Facebook) and determined that when men are intimidated by women, it's because they themselves are insecure. Secure men are not intimidated. That makes perfect sense to me, but where are all the secure men? Are the really all married off already or otherwise off the market? Is this how great women get squeezed into being spinsters forever? *shutters*

I still refuse to believe that I've fallen through the cracks. Need to try some new things. Maybe I'll just start winking at guys on the train or on the street. Gotta be careful about that, though--there are a lot of creeps in the city. *sigh*

Trying to stay positive,
Skeptic
