“Bad Lesbian Dates” is My Pick for Blog of the Week

My choice this week is Bad Lesbian Dates. For all us guys who thought we had a tough time meeting the right woman, it comes as a surprise to find out we are not alone.

While I’m certainly not unsympathetic to Lesbian Dater, I find her continuing saga not only honest and enlightening, but also highly entertaining and amusing. (Sorry about that Lesbian Dater)

I’ve reprinted this partial blog post below. But everyone who thought it would be easy to be a lesbian should go to her blog and read all her entries. As a writer, I think she has a good writer and has a great start on a fascinating book. Click here to go to her blog.

Bad Lesbian Dates: "Ways to Meet: Networking"

I was never very good at math, but I can tell you this:
Sub-zero weather
5 looong avenue blocks
an empty stomach
a powerful Cabernet wine
200 lesbians talking loudly in a tiny bar

do not go together.

Actually, this networking event was almost enjoyable. It was set up in such a way that it felt comfortable to talk to people I didn't know. Sadly, there were way too many people I did know. Because there are--apparently--only a couple of hundred lesbians in all of New York. I recognized many familiar faces. Knowing a lot of lesbians should be a good thing; it should mean a nice sense of community. But it doesn't. Most people who recognize me do not say hi, or if they do, we are both equally embarrassed. ('Ah, I remember you from last month's Desperate Dating. Still looking, eh?') And of course, I saw the famous girl who went out with me once and hasn't acknowledged me since--even though I constantly see her. I swore she was laughing at me. I'll see that face in my nightmares for the next 50 years."
