How Many Fish per Person is Allowed?

This morning, at church we watched a video where we were encouraged, when we felt some discontent, to say "It could be worse". Now, I am not particuliarly a fan of that game because we need to deal with our hurts and discontentments, not just minimize them by saying they don't matter.... that we don't matter. Honor your discontentment and then find a positive solution to move closer to contentment:  help someone else, go talk to a friend or counselor, take a bubble bath, clean a closet or two, you get the drift.

However, one of my discontentments is that I am a single woman in every sense of the word. I haven't had a date since my last encounter with that tall handsome boyfriend I used to have a while back, and sometimes, in case you haven't noticed, I feel a bit lonely and certainly a little sorry for myself.

I was reading my email on the dating website to which I belong - no, I am not embarrassed to admit I am looking online for a man who shares my interests, goals, life situtation, and desires. Where else can you find eligible, single men in the right age group and know they are interested in knowing you are single. Anyway, I digress...

Today I came across this man who has posted a profile to find a second woman for his life. And I thought about his wife, from whom he needs to keep "this" all discreet, and it was easy for me to say, "It could be worse".

Here is his very real profile I found on the dating webiste. Perhaps if you read it with astonishment, you might laugh. As for me, it made me want to find his wife and tell her. BTW:  in all his discreetness, he's 42 and from Benbrook. Do you suppose any of that info is true???? What a cheat and liar and creep! Oh, and he says he is not religious. So, here's to hoping there are NOT plenty of fish for Mr.-Need-One-More-Woman-But-I-Gotta-Keep-My-Job-and-Family-In-the-Dark-of-Who-I-Really-Am-Way-Down-Deep-In-My-Soul-Man.

"Hi. I am married and not interested in changing my marital situation because of children and other reasons. My marriage has evolved into a platonic or more of a sibling relationship over the years. We are good friends.

I am looking for a dynamic, intelligent, beautiful woman to develop a genuine friendship with benefits situation. I hope to find someone in a similar situation to myself.

I am a professional person, with a corporate job in healthcare. I need to be very discrete not only because of my marriage but because of my job as well. I have had opportunities to have friends with benefits with women at work or in my community. However, I prefer to remain more discrete. I will share a picture, but am a little paranoid about sending my picture. I hope you understand.

I tend to be very intellectual, especially when I am nervous. I can be a bit shy; but love goofing around and love to laugh. I am a very passionate person.

I am an average looking guy. I am 6ft tall, 240lbs with an athletic build. I am not an unattractive person. I have a full head of hair, straight teeth, no tattoos, no facial hair, and dress relatively conservative. I am drug free, don’t smoke and have no diseases. Most people say a look a lot younger than I am. I certainly feel younger!

Maybe we can email and talk on the phone for starters?"

Well, as long as he is tat-free and shaves everyday....... Oh, for goodness sakes.

Shake his oily-dift off, girls! There are better fish in the sea. I am certain!

Namaste.
