Three Men and a Lady

I was in a meeting with clients, three men, with whom I’d become rather chummy.

One of them said, “I don’t get it. Why are you still single? You’re good looking, bright, outgoing. It doesn’t make any sense to me!”

I looked at him, quite accustomed to managing this question. “Well, you know, I’ve moved around a lot for my career and I guess I just haven’t found someone I’d want to settle down with.”

Another of them said, somewhat cautiously,“I think you have to be a pretty strong man to date her.”

The third quipped, “Are you kidding? You have to be a pretty strong man just to be in the same room with her!”

I’ve been called intelligent, strong, an idiot, annoying, entertaining, obnoxious, kind, crazy, hilarious, a sociopath, a narcissist, beautiful, ugly, hideous, insensitive, a robot, intense, an insitgator, a mediator, logical, friendless, undateable, hot, creative, retarded, professional, leggy, fat, skinny, short, tall, blonde, blue-eyed, brunette, crass, vulgar, classy, crude, rude, inconsiderate, socially unacceptable, socially adept, talented, skilled, curious, and ridiculous.

I’ve also been told I have presence.  And horse teeth.  And that I’m “too much”.  Often.

I have no idea what the truth is.
