Good mates do not just stumble across you at some coffee shop. You have to hunt them down, hobble them and then hump them into submission.
I hope this clears things up.
In reading the article about Zenster’s capture the neighbors said “He always seemed like such a nice, quiet man but he was very private. He always kept the shades drawn and when we asked about he funny squawking noises coming from his bedroom he said he was practicing the saxaphone.”
How do positive predictions of love in your future equal condescending and smug?
This is a hijack, it does not concern Pollyanna’s, or annoying advice about future love prospects. Eve, I just wanted to say that I have seen you around the boards and wondered what you looked like. I always pictured you as a classy beautiful women. Now that I have actually realized that you have a www link, (Stupid me, I don’t know why it took me so long,) I had no idea you were so gorgeous. I just had to share that. If Mr. Jeeves and I(me[I never understood the grammar rules governing that]) lived in NY I would have to attend a NY dopefest and meet you. I wish that most of my friends were as smart as you.
Agree with the OP. I suppose it’s hard to resist the urge to try to say something encouraging.
For what it’s worth, there seems to be a serious shortage of straight single men in the NYC area.
Ever been at Costco with a very short and simple list of things to get that you know are cheaper at Costco, let’s say sheets and printer cartridges, and you’re not gonna buy anything that’s not on your list, and then you pass some weird display of, say, an assortment of 15 cucumber-scented candles of various sizes, in a box, for only 3.99 and it just calls your name, and you buy it (along with your printer cartridges and sheets) and get home and say to yourself, “WTF? Why the bloody hell did I buy this? Cucumber flavored candles. Jesus.”
Can’t even blame hormones for that one. But for marriage you can. I certainly do. !!@#$%*&@!!! hormones.
Just the other day, in this thread, you said you hated your job! Care to elaborate? 
As for the OP, it’s good that you’ve decided to do what makes you happy. But I feel sorry for all the men you must be turning down (who wouldn’t be attracted to that coruscating wit of yours?)!
I hate it when people say the way to a woman’s heart is to “just be yourself… but be more outgoing. And dress differently. And get a haircut. And smile more often. And start a new hobby. And learn to dance.”
In other words, DON’T be yourself. Be someone you’re not.
Ha.
exactly. huh. damn how can we ever get anywhere?
Oh,alright Eve, I’ll stop trying to work my hand up under your hoop skirt.
Besides,my prince has come,and guess what,he’s me.
And guess who made him come…yup,me again!
I always wondered what these opposable thumbs were REALLY for.
[hijack]Take “Mr. Jeeves and” out of the sentence and see which makes better sense: me or I. Whichever one it is, is the one that belongs in the sentence with the compound subject. In this case it’s “If Mr. Jeeves and I lived in NY”, but it would be “That Komodo dragon belongs to Mr. Jeeves and me”.[/hijack]
My god! Someone read my mind! I keep saying I’m never going to get married simply because well, men only treated me badly so why should I subject myself to that? I got better treatment from my animals then I get from people in general so I’m a huge skeptic and this didn’t come recently, this has been years and years of pain and heartache (along with alot of insults).
And I really hate it when friends and people (especially family!) tell me, “Oh you’ll find someone” or “You haven’t found the right person yet” or “You’re so pretty, you’ll get a guy just like that.” Well guess what? I WON’T! There are barriers and reasons why which I won’t get into.
But at least someone came out and said it. 
I don’t see why not. As an alternate paraphrase, how about, “Men often make passes at any girls’ asses.”
And, if I marry someone, I expect her to faithful. It makes no difference whether she’s not sleeping with other men or whether she’s not sleeping with other men or other women. Either way, she’s having sex only with me.

Ummm, december? You do realise that transgendered =/ bisexual, don’t you?
As for the OP, I thoroughly agree.
BTW Eve, was your OP consciously or unconsciously referring to the George and Ira Gershwin song, “It’s Not for Me”?
*Old man sunshine, listen you
Never tell me dreams come true
Just try it
And I’ll start a riot
Beatrice Fairfax, don’t you dare
Ever tell me he will care
I’m certain
It’s the final curtain
I never want to hear from any cheerful Pollyannas
Who tell you fate supplies a mate
It’s all bananas
They’re writing songs of love
But not for me
A lucky star’s above
But not for me
With love to lead the way
I’ve found more skies of gray
Than any russian play could guarantee
I was a fool to fall
And get that way
Hi ho, alas and also
Lack-a-day
Although I can’t dismiss
The memory of his kiss
I guess he’s not for me
That slid right by me. Thanks for pointing out my error.
The title of this thread is “Mr. Right will come along some day.” and the last person to contribute is December. This amuses me.
**Eve], if you’re just not interested in the complications of being in a relationship, that’s fine, and if you’re not looking, then case closed.
But I’m not buying #s 1 and 3. OK, the transexual issue may be startling, but to someone who truly, genuinely loves you, it will not make a whisper of a difference. I find it hard to believe that Renee Richards, Jan Morris, Tula, and Wendy Carlos, just to name a few transgendered folks off the top of my head, moved into a nunnery immediately post surgery.
As for being an unprepossessing middle-aged woman, HA! I say. Look at Fanny Brice–she was a middle-aged woman and still chasing off boys with a stick (mind, she could have had better taste in men than a gambler and a disreputable showman). I have met you and think you are A) beautiful B)loads of fun to be with.
If you enjoy being single, good for you, but don’t think for a minute that it’s becaue you have no alternatives.
