sure i'ts great to own all those shoes-try having to sell them!And yes-I do own a bunch, but in my defence you have to know the product to sell it!

Hmm...One pair of sneakers...one pair of flip-flops....one pair of slippers...two pair of dress shoes that I never wear (one brown, one black, but they hurt my feet too much to wear)

What was that about too many shoes again?

Although, I admit, I am definitely NOT a girly girl.

Well, if we get past the really obvious atuff, like all women breathe oxygen, and all women have DNA, and all women own too many shoes, then I suppose you could say that there are some areas where a blanket statement could apply.

I don't own too many shoes. I don't have very many at all. But I DO own to many clothes.

You know, I think there's a reason why the initials of "Blanket Statement" are B.S.

I was looking at a thread -- one in an ongoing series of millions -- in which the original post was thematically constructed around the idea that all women are the same.

Well, if we get past the really obvious atuff, like all women breathe oxygen, and all women have DNA, and all women own too many shoes, then I suppose you could say that there are some areas where a blanket statement could apply.

But -- these "nice guys," these unfortunate victims of feminine wiles, these repetitive repeaters who endlessly drone on and on about how there are NO good women in the world (without, I might add, making the prerequisite SURVEY of every woman in the world to CONFIRM their suspicions) -- these people are totally off the mark.

Because, if you examine the reality -- the actual women on this very site, to choose a convenient (and potentially inflammatory) venue -- well, I have NEVER seen a more diverse group in my life.

Here we have women of all types -- all varieties of heights and weights and ages and races and beliefs and religions and marital statuseses, from all kinds of places, doing all kinds of work, buying all kinds of shoes (albeit too many), driving different cars, reading different books, watching different shows on TV --

"All women," indeed. I will thank you, cranky gentlemen, not to bother me with this insidious inaccuracy again!

To claim that all women are the same is, as Winston Churchill once described a lie, a "terminological inexactitude."

In fact, the ONLY, all-inclusive, all-encompassing thing I can think to say about women, in general, is this -- they are all incompatible with me.

As Linus from the Peanuts comic strip could tell you -- we're all entitled to ONE blanket...!!

And guess what Lex, I get to dispell the notion of too many shoes too. I only have a pair of sandals, a pair of tennis and a couple pair of dress shoes....lol So I am the exception to that rule also.

All the topics are always the same old recycled crud all over again! Redundantly.

We are all guilty. We get out of a relationship that ended badly and we're scared. We are reluctant to go into another one because we are not quite sure when we've let go of everything, and honestly some folks just don't know how to. It's much easier to blame others, especially an entire gender, than own up to our faults and responsibilities. To be hopeful, to be optimistic, and to truly treat each person as an individual (while simultaneously looking for actual red flags, dealbreakers, and behavior patterns)every time.

Dating is hard. It takes a lot out of you.

If I ever get married again, you have my permission to shoot me.

Please.

I'm on "F" in the alphabet. I've started over again and I'm stopping on Lexy Fonteyne.
