Ha, I'm such a dolt.
So tonight I'm going to a friend's place for a girls' night and I'm the only one who's going to be there who's not single. After apps and drinks at her place (I'm actually making my nut fingers again, since dinner isn't dinner without dessert), we're going out and they're manhunting. One friend joked that I'd be the wing woman and I'm all for it... only I had no knowledge, past a general idea, what a wing would actually do. So I asked E. LOL, how pathetic am I? He laughed at me. Loudly. Good thing is, it's already what I'd do and have done naturally in the past. I just have to remember to not make it about me and take over the conversation... my biggest pitfall.

I LOVE playing wing woman!!
Well, it was an interesting night! I had an absolute blast, despite that my services as wing didn't turn out to be needed. This is probably going to be long.
I picked up my friend, and the night already got interesting. She was bouncing off the walls, screeching and screaming every word out of her mouth, and slurring. She had me really worried.
Turns out, she's taking pain meds for a bad back... and she doesn't like the way the full dose feels... so she cut each pill in quarters and took 1/4. So I asked her if they were the time release pills and maybe they weren't supposed to be cut. She wasn't in any shape to even tell me what they were.
Honestly, I was scared sh!tless that I was going to get into an accident on the way to our friend's place from the constant distraction in the passenger seat. She was out of control.
Thankfully, there was a bottle of wine open when we got there, so I was able to have a glass and calm down my racing heart.
Eight girls all together, from ages 30 - 44, and I was the only one not single, as I anticipated. It was a really interesting perspective, hanging out with them. They're great chicks, and I'd hang out with most of them regularly if given the chance. But listening to the trials and tribulations of dating... I'm so glad to be done with all that. But I don't know, I remember dating being kinda fun. Am I just forgetting the crappy stuff?
Oh, and THREE of the eight women there are already getting botox, including the 30-year-old! WTF?! Am I nuts, or is that as crazy as I think it is? And these women are seriously, most decidedly, not hags. They're attractive women. I don't get it.
Anyway, after some awesome freaking food: skewers of shrimp, beef, and chicken with different sauces, bacon-wrapped dates, sausage cheese puffs, tiny tarts, etc... and a lot of fun just hanging out, we went at about a quarter to 12 to the bar, called Martinis.
No action there. Hardly any men at all, in fact, and the couple there were either with woman or already hitting on them.
I was home just after 1:30 a.m.
Funny thing? I was at a friend's house and then Martini's with a slew of attractive single women. Eric was at the local brewery - NJ Beer Company - with a slew of single guys. Do you see the issue here?
Guys hang out in breweries where they're not meeting women, and women hang out in frou frou martini bars where they're not meeting men.
Next time, they're coming with me to the brewery.
Oh, and once my friend came down off her medicated high and was able to tell me what it was she was taking? I googled it and wouldn't you know it - there's an admonition that under no circumstances should those pills be cut or crushed. They are, as I suspected, time-release.
Sigh.

Exactly! You gotta go where the men are.
Wild about those pills. The "take only as directed" instruction isn't just there for fun.
