Most of them lead lives of unquiet desperation, continually seeking, in sex they wish was love and in the love they suspect is only sex, a center for their worlds to turn on.

Last night my sister drug me to a Singles group that she belongs to where they were teaching evryone to "Salsa". I made it quite clear to her that I really did not want to go, but I would go for her. I also made it clear that I planed to sit in a corner, drink my beer and watch the baseball game. And that is what I did for the most part
However, for a good part of the evening, I spend watching the sad, lonely desperate men. Now that is a funny statement coming from me, since I am sitting and still pining away for da Missus. But, I was still amused.
Everything was so……forced.
It became clear to me rather early, that the females were there to socialize, have fun, and dance. If they met someone, that was just a byproduct of their primary goal.The guys however, were trying to get laid. And get laid quick.
They all talked to much. They all laughed too long and too hard. Nothing seemed natural. And very few of them seemed to be having real "fun". Oh, yeah, they seemingly enjoyed it, but, as with everything else, it presented itself as a facade.
I had people checking on me all evening, to make sure I was ok and to make sure I was having fun. I had a blast. I spent the entire evening laughing.
