Frankly, my darling, I cannot be interested in you. Why? Because you aren’t very interesting.

My God, you really are a beautiful girl, but...

Why? Why are you so incredibly uninteresting? Why are you so predictable?

Since raising my standards several months ago, I find I am attracting what I seek. It is funny how that works. Yet, my standards are also constantly evolving. I suppose that’s healthy—and necessary.

I’m discovering there are such dazzling women out there. Truly. Absolutely breathtaking.

Even in this small town where I reside. I know, I’m amazed too.

So, now I want the beauty. The Beautiful Ones. That’s fine.

I want to get to know her... only to find she’s totally predictable. She’s not interesting, nor interested in anything unusual or unique. She’s clearly not sexually adventurous.

The latter can be corrected, that is, if she’s at least curious. I’m more than happy to assist on the journey there, in fact I believe it’s a purpose in my life.

But can a girl become interesting? Passionate, even?

This lack of passion is something I notice in everyone—near and far. It’s almost like the glut of information, both good and bad, waters down their passions. Social media waters down her beliefs. Never before has there been a need to be “liked,” to be accepted.

To be divided. Polarized.

It’s certainly a different world to date in, where you can potentially learn more about a future date through a quick look on the Facebook then you could in twenty years of marriage only ten years ago.

Wow.

And again, I’m not dismissing the idea that I’m not interesting—which may contribute to her not opening up, nor sharing her passions.

I’m aware of this shortcoming in my life, which propels me ahead of many of the chodes. But there is much more work to be done. Internally and externally. Time to find my passions, and make them contagious.

And, go ahead and raise those standards. If she cannot be interesting, there’s always the next one. Beauty is more common than I imagined. Maybe I’ll find beauty and passion will be a combination I can discover and add to the richness of my life.

No, not maybe. These women are out there. Let’s make some magic happen.

Don’t make me waste my time. Don’t make me lose my mind... You were so hard to find. The beautiful ones, they hurt you every time.
