Perhaps I should post a sign--no women on board without a WM gift
certificate! I bet they would bring them.

We all have out little fantasies....

This is sooo true! So, one must cultivate aloofness without complete
lack of interest. It's an art form.

I find that if I act interested in a woman, the woman will lose interest
in
me.
When I am not interested at all, like when I have a steady girlfriend, or
I'm
just too busy to date, they suddenly get interested. It's proof that
women
don't think logically, but rather react to being ignored by turning up the
heat. Any man will tell you that.

Lately I've been telling women I have no money to date. The inside of the
boat is a mess--I really don't want visitors right now. Yet twice in two
weeks women have dropped by the boat with a bottle of wine and romantic
notions. This time of year boats are better bait than a Corvette.

Now if I could only get them to stop by with West Marine gift
certificates!

That's weird....you seem like a nice guy...maybe you weren't looking in
the
right places? Know what you mean though...a lady stopped Mr Sails in
the
parking lot of the grocery store when she saw our yacht club parking
sticker
on the rear bumper of my car...she started yammering to him about how
much
she enjoyed sailing yadyada and didn't see me crouched down behind the
door,
picking something up off the ground....I stood up and he immediately
said
"
It's my wife's boat...."

What's weird is I just had this conversation a week or so ago with someone
else. It's been my experience that when you are looking for someone, you
must send some sort of bad vibes or something. The most fun I've had is
when I wasn't looking for a date.

Case in point, when a girlfriend and I were younger, we would go to this
club and we seemed to never have anyone ask us to dance, etc. Years later,
we met back in the city for a drink and the same place, but this time we
were both happily married. We couldn't even carry on a conversation without
being interrupted by suitors or the waitress bringing us a drink from some
guy across the room. We both laughed as we left the club together, with
around 20 full drinks still sitting on the table.

Well, perhaps they felt they shouldn't interfere with the course
of true love.

See? they must have been right. So, why didn't you marry her
earlier?

Oh, my! I was almost to "mark all as read", then I come across this post.
LOL

When did you start playing matchmaker, Katy? Anyway, I'm scared of Bart!
;-) Plus, he gives lashes for not getting the questions he asks right. Not
to mention I don't have any points accumulated...

I'm sure you must have a couple of points you could put forward.

I've met Bart. He's a great guy. I'd sail with him any time, and I know
a couple of women he sailed with who had a great time.
