Now, my first observation for the day is that The Palace is somewhat similar to the page of The Misanthropic Bitch. I could choose to find this disturbing, for I enjoy originality...but naturally, since it is like The Palace,...I like the site. Why not be amused? Indeed. So I am.

Odd. There is a girl in my class that has never showed up before. It is the 6th week. Hilariously, we have yet to learn anything.

Right. So on to my amusement of the evening. I just read the rant of a friend of a friend. This kid Miller (has been mentioned earlier in the commentary--the one with a liking for the skills of his hand) wrote about how men and women don't seem to understand why the other won't go for the "nice" ones. He points out that people are generally shallow and just go for people who are attractive. This leaves both unattractive guys (wanting an a attractive girl) and unattractive girls (wanting an attractive guy) at home watching Friends, either hoping Rachel and Ross will get together or break up.

Why do I find such a pathetic situation funny? Because it is so TRUE. Generally, couples are at about the same level of attractiveness. If they are not...it is remarked upon. What are those remarks. "Oh, he is so nice for dating her." "It is cool how she looks beyond how he looks." "I'm MUCH prettier than SHE is." <--presumably, this means they would make a far better girlfriend.

So...are you fat, unattractive, and generally boring? Yes? Well, guess what...throw away that romance novel because Mr. Right is probably equally fat, unattractive and boring. That is why you'll be the perfect couple. See, I'm being positive here. You won't be single...you'll just have to settle for less that you deserve.

Some people right now might be annoyed with me. I, after all, have a perfect guy page and I have made it perfectly obvious that I am not going to settle for less than the best. Don't I need to listen to my own advice and lower my standards?

HELL NO!!!

If you have been paying attention at ALL--I have said that people generally get someone on an equal level. In demanding the best...I am not reaching. Also, do note that even I am single. It might take awhile for me to find the one, what with all the requirements he has to fit. However, this is not a problem for me because I am doing other things. If YOU want to hook up, though...you'll really have to pay attention to where you're at and pay attention to others on that level.

What do you want? Your standards or a date? I want standards...I suggest you do some thinking about what it is that YOU want.
