Honestly.

I'm at a loss for words. Well, obviously not, because I'm writing. But still! I thought for a while I was just overreacting, but damn. I've been here a year, and I haven't been able to lock down a date with a single woman in the Savannah area (one particular saga notwithstanding). I just got flaked on again. What is it? I'm not completely sure, but I'm going to attempt to figure it out.

I think part of the problem is that Savannah is, in and of itself, a paradoxical location for the type of women that many of us are looking for. Or at least, that I am looking for (since everyone else is wise enough to import from out of town. For example-- If I desire a mature woman, I'm probably going to start by looking for women the same age as me, or older. Except for that despite the supposed maturity of the woman, nine times out of ten, she's going to share in that giddyness implanted by movies, TV and society in general that the sooner she gets married the better. Whatever it is that's in the water that makes women fantasize about getting married as a young girl, and pre-plan things to a T, simply leaving a big "Insert Guy Here" in her visions. Which is detramental, because there are is myriadical plethorad of Urslike proportionality (read: a fucking lot) of men in the area who are willing. The majority of which (but not limited to) are military men. There are a number of bases here, we all know that. And I won't go into what I percieve to be common knowledge amongst us about the suspiciousness of separation-pay based romances.

So, in short, if I find a girl around the level of maturity I'm looking for... often that means they think they are mature enough to get married and have kids as well (which to me, isn't really that mature at all.)

But then, if I roll back a little, and maybe go a year or two beneath my age, that generally results in the resurgeance of the games and BS from high school that I'm tired of dealing with. And with the sheer amount of guys around here, it's stupidly easy for guys to find a girl around here. Except for me (which admittedly, is my frustration speaking.)

Perhaps it's just me, and my specifications are a bit too rigid. Which I've come to understand. But at the same time, my rampant impatience is damning when paired with what it is I'm looking for in a woman.

All in all though, I guess what I'm trying to say is "GODDAMNIT!!"

(I am susceptible to frustration. You knew this.)
