We all see blogs condemning the opposite sex for the way the poster has been/was allegedly treated. Some appear to be heartfelt and sincere assessments of disappointment. Others appear to be whining rationalized bitterness. Generally, it is pretty easy to connect the dots to sort out what category a blog and the poster fits into.
I was cruising through blogs and saw one with a title that sounded familiar. I don’t want to be too specific so as to identify the poster personally. It, shall I say, referred to somebody not being Mr. Right. It was a whine about being used by a player and now the poster hated men. On the sidebar of the blog post was a listing of her other blogs. The most recent one was about meeting Mr. Right, posted less a week before this one. I read it. It was short, gushy, smarmy, and, yeah, right out of a Judy Garland/Mickey Rooney movie.
I did a click back to the profile while grinning as I shook my head. My mouth kind of fell open and my eyes got big. No, the poster was not an 18 year old girl. The poster was twice that age, a middle age woman.
What is wrong with this picture? Several answers, all of them probably correct.
To me it was obvious that she got dumped. I’ve been dumped, I’ve dumped people, we’ve dumped each other. We’ve all been dumped. Reading the two blog posts gave me a pretty good idea of the reason in this case.
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, let me restate what should be obvious:
When you meet somebody and begin going out, enjoy the journey without scripting the destination.
Infatuation is the fast lane on the expressway to the bedroom.
Guys don’t like sticky women and women don’t like clingy guys.
Love at first sight usually turns into love that bites.
Realistic LTR potential is rarely determined before two months with a tipping point at six.
If you get blown off, it doesn’t necessarily mean he is a player or she uses men.
If you didn’t make the cut, look into the mirror to see the mostly likely reason.

In the remote case the person doing the dumping really is a player, just think good riddance to bad rubbish and move on. Yes there are a lot of players out there male and female who run through people like a box of tissues when you have a cold. Just be glad they are on to someone besides you and get over it. No one is worth whining over once they have dumped you. I think middle age people tend to be afraid that they are past their expiration date and try to see more than is there in a relationship because they are afraid of being alone and there are people who will take advantage of those fears, My suggestion is stop whining and find something that makes them happy with themselves rather than looking for someone else to do it for them and they might just attract the right kind of person or maybe not. But at that point it is not going to feel like the end of the world either way,

Well, Rhonda, as you transition to your new life you will come to embrace the peace of being a monarch. Being single does not mean that you have to be alone. It is just a matter of establishing new friends and companions to enjoy life with

If you didn’t make the cut, look into the mirror to see the mostly likely reason. Bingo! It seems taking responsibility for one's own feelings/actions is not a popular thing to do, but it is the wisest!
In our 'I want it NOW' society few are willing to invest time and attention in someone else without a warranty. Of course, that's illogical to expect, but some people just want the pretty package without all the work involved.
My suggestion is stop whining and find something that makes them happy with themselves rather than looking for someone else to do it for them and they might just attract the right kind of person or maybe not. Couldn't say it any better, RJ.
