The Simple DudeA Simple Dude in a Complex World

Today is your LAST DAY to get a guess in on my Amazon gift card contest.  If you’re not familiar with it, CLICK HERE and read up on it and put in your guess on much much $$ I am going to lose in Vegas next week.  You have to make your guess on that post in the form of a comment.  I’m going to post all the guesses on Monday so you can see where you stand against your fellow commenters!   Don’t forget the only requirement to win is that you are following me on Twitter: @TheSimpleDude or have “liked” me on Facebook.  And wish me luck in Sin City…  I’ll be there in less than a week!

We made it through another week together folks, thanks for stopping by and seeing me.  As you’d know if you’ve stopped by here in the past, my Lady Friend has been going through something a lot of people do in their 30′s.  No, she’s not suddenly scared to drive at night or addicted to old Matlock re-runs.  That would be me.  She has had her list of friends dwindle over the years and has had some difficulties finding new ones.

All of you have helped with suggestions in the past and she has been trying different things lately.  A few weeks ago she took a rock climbing class and had a blast.  And now she’s taking an ongoing class on meditation which she says helps her handle the stresses of the very busy job she has.  I secretly wonder if it has anything to do with the stresses of dating me though…  hmmmm…

Anyway, she wanted to give an update – and I needed some blog material – so here is my Lady Friend:

I went on yet another quest to meet some women. A couple of weeks ago, I signed up for a meditation class. After the second session this week, a woman from the class stopped me to chat about how hard it was to concentrate.

Before I go into our chat, I’ll explain the distraction. It was held in a gym at a local school. The first 15 minutes were great as we were the only ones in the gym (it was divided into two separate parts). Then the last 15 minutes was the boys’ basketball practice. Creating a bit of a challenge to meditate with the balls (heh, heh) bouncing on the floor and the hippity hop music. So she and I talked about why we took the class, how the first part of the class was nice but then the distractions came, etc.

We said our goodbye’s and ‘see you next week’ to one another. But I didn’t get a number. Yeah, women just aren’t as easy as Jersey Shore and Maury Povich would have us believe. I realized how much I feel for you men out there and your quest to get women.

I will say this, and I noticed other female Simpletons who’ve commented the same on these posts, that typically men are easier to get along with than women. However, they just don’t smell as nice.

She’s obviously not talking about me with that not smelling as nice comment.  Or so I like to think.
