Married men are on the prowl....

OK, I am convinced that men are a trip...and some of them are truly dogs. Some of these stories, I couldn’t even make it up if I even tried. So, I’m convinced that some packages are best left on the shelf as in the sexy 21 year old came over last night and we hung out; he can proved to be some summertime entertainment but that’s about it. My friends who saw his picture are convinced that he’s younger than 21 but as long as he’s legal, who is counting the actual age. Onward to other adventures...

Today it was really hard to get myself motivated to go to work. Do any of you ever have that issue? Maybe I need a sugar daddy and all my problems will be solved. No, really, I am ready to have a more exciting job that involves constant interaction with people!

I had lunch with Sam and John (the names have obviously been changed to protect the innocent. I bet Sam (married guy – who I am not interested in) on the Spain – France World Cup match and lost! At least we only bet lunch so I wasn’t too upset about that. John is this good looking guy from Grenada who works with Sam and came along for lunch because we have a mutual interest in each other. We went to Red, pseudo-Mexican spot near the South Street Seaport for lunch, and had a great time talking about politics, cultural differences and dating. Then, as John was walking me back to my office he basically came clean and said that although he is interested in me…he had to be honest, and he’s trying to get back together with his ex-girlfriend of 2 years with whom he broke up about 2 months ago. Now, I gave him a stupefied look and thought…hmmm…I appreciate the honesty but why didn’t that whole conversation happen a lot sooner. Men will be men! I figured he could be a nice lunch time buddy esp. since he works so close to my job.

After work, I decided to go to TGI Fridays since I had yet another rough day at work today. I ran into some of the regulars. Then I started talking to Eric, who is a handsome man, working for a major investment bank. He offered me a drink and we start talking. It turns out that he is 34, married and has a 1 month old at home and are you ready for this?? Looking for some entertainment which is why he goes out to bars so he can pick up women on the side. I actually wasn’t shocked but I felt quite disgusted because I thought why do we as women put up with this BS. It’s really unfortunate and makes me wonder if I will ever get married!!

I left around 9pm or so and headed up to Harlem to hang out with a few of my boys. I actually took a cab there and had a very interesting chat with a young (27 y.o.) cab driver from India. The guy was very intelligent with a background and degree in IT but having a hard time finding a job (he has a green card so no worries about the HB-1 Visa). I was definitely ready to go out on a date with him!! We exchanged info and said that we would meet up for coffee/tea at some point in the future so we can chat about his career path, etc.

I definitely find that hanging out with guys is a lot more low maintenance than hanging out with women, well actually I have to be honest, I have very few single girls in NY that I can hang out with on a regular basis. Most of them are married and/or have kids and/or have some sort of drama that I don’t want to deal with. I went to this restaurant called Creole, on 118th and 3rd Ave in Spanish Harlem and let me say the food was delicious! I had coconut shrimp (huge juicy shrimp) and tried some chicken, yams and collard greens. Yummy!!! You have to try it if you live in NY or if you’re planning on coming to NY in the near future. I met an older guy who bought me a few drinks all while telling me that “he liked my rack”. OK, I guess in his book that was a compliment. He was a bit intoxicated so the conversation didn’t progress very far. Thank goodness! Then this guy’s, son walked in and boy was he yummy, and only 21. I think there’s something wrong with me because I’m clearly regressing and going through a younger guy phase. Is this like an early midlife crisis? I’m not sure. Well, I enjoyed the entertainment. BTW, the owner happens to be single as well. He’s 40, well built, handsome and lots of trouble...hmmmm...the potential is there but I think that he meets his fair share of women on a regular basis. Oh well, I can always dream!!

I left there and stopped off at Sugarcane on the way home. Sugarcane was jumping with men!! I only stayed for a hot minute because I wasn’t driving and my friend wanted to get home. I chatted for a few minutes with this gorgeous muscular guy, who I figured wasn’t single. It turns out he’s married and was at Sugarcane with his girlfriend. Is it possible that there are this many men out there with an OUTSIDE WOMAN??? This is absolutely unbelievable. I think I need to become a nun because this is ridiculous. Well I checked out the scenery, danced for a little while and then came home. I need to hit the sack now. Hope you’re enjoying these stories because I definitely find them entertaining to tell!!
