O.G. Playas! How Homantic!

I meet a lot of different people at work. The most recent one is this contractor dude who was hired by my building to clean/steam the carpet.

Man, this guy is in his late 40s and still goes out every night trying to hook up with chicks. Yes, he does talk like that. Yes, he calls middle-aged woman chicks. Yes, he says, "That's what she says." Yes, he shows me his freaking dance moves when he's taking a break from his work. Yes, he flexes his biceps and bounces his pecs and asks chicks if they could do that too. Yes, he says life is so homantic!!!

Funny thing is, this guy is actually a pretty nice guy. But it seems like he's been in a lot of bad relationships and it's like the problem of the chicken and the egg. Did bad experiences changed the way he views women or was he always this way and it caused him to have bad experiences?

Who the hell knows, but one thing is for sure, it's a little unsettling to hear stories of how these women (moms with teenage kids) go out every night "hooking up" with these dudes. Maybe I grew up in a traditional household, but I'll probably barf if my mom goes out every night getting wasted and taking these dudes home when I'm trying to do my homework! People always try to place the blame on the guys but it's a 2-way street and the guys won't be acting this way if there aren't any women out there to socialize with.

Now I'm not judging one bit, people should live their lives how the hell they want, but this reminds me of the movie "The Wedding Singer" starring Adam Sandler. In the movie, Adam has a friend who is like this: Middle-aged, single, and still out trying to "bag" chicks. But in a scene where they're in a sad dive bar, he reveals how lonely and depressed he is because he just wants someone to hold him and tell him, "everything's gonna be ok."

That's the way I feel about this contractor dude. He tells me how he's having tons of fun, but he really want to have kids. Only problem is, all the good ones are taken and he has to mess around with these women who are anything but "mommy material." He's always telling me how everything has changed and it is just so complicated nowadays with relationships. I have solace in knowing I'm not the only one who feels this way.

This is Carrie Bradshaw, and that's sex in da city bitches...
