Back in 2007 when I was livin' it up as a crazed 20 something, single girl, I would go to the clubs of my fair city quite often. What can I say? It's a great way to let off some steam, dance (yes people in wheelchairs can dance), and meet men....or at least I thought so. After several oh-my-god-annoying incidents, I decided to make a new rule for myself: Stay away from the drunk losers at the clubs!
Now why you may ask? It's simple: They're out of their mind hornballs who are NOT THEMSELVES. As they say, what you do drunk, you're likely never to do sober, and oh baby, this is so true. Let me play out the scenario for you: "Hey you're hot," says the drunk guy to yours truly. I'm drunk at the time too and take his compliment seriously. I smile. Encouraged, he asks for my number. We chat up, he buys me a few drinks, and we part ways with a sexy kiss. So what's wrong here? The next day, week, month, he never calls you back.
What I can guess is that after he's sober, he becomes embarrassed: "Oh my God I hit on a woman in a wheelchair, and I'm going to Hell!" His feelings were never real, he's not the kind of guy open-minded enough to date a disabled woman, and essentially...he's wasted your time. Truly and completely. So I've learned the hard way to never, ever, ever take these men seriously. In fact, stay far, far away! :)
Even better yet, buy a roufee and drug them. Kidding...

That's terrible, Tiff. Guys are jerks enough without adding alcohol, which is why I quit drinking. Well, that and the whole "I'm an addict" thing. I say it's their loss. Even though I don't know you personally, I think you are a very special person. Not to mention how you put up with all my lame comments on your blog!
verigoth, i love your comments on my blog :)
As a non-wheelchair using 20-something single girl, I can tell you they do that anyway, wheelchair or no! I think there is something about alcohol that makes guys lose every number they're handed!
saydrah, why am i not surprised? :)
Tiffany, although this post is hilarious at points, it has a serious undertone. Before my accident, I was a professional bartender and dance instructor for nearly two decades. I was witness to the amount of people (men and women) who literally kill so many braincells in a single outing..they only have one left. In the worst cases, the lone braincell suddenly splits in half and the two halves will now fight for territory. This can be seen in the moment the man asked for your number (one half of the braincell) and then not calling you after that (other half of the braincell). I've seen this so many times over the years and it amazes me how the "other half"...or as you put it, the "Oh my God I hit on a woman in a wheelchair and I'm going to hell!" seems to win out once the sun rises and the two halves have now called a truce of sorts. I wish I had an easy solution for this type of behavior but I don't. Shoot, I don't even know where to meet potential dates at..lol...since the library/grocery store have not produced any type of scenery that is remotely attractive in my eyes. But, who knows, perhaps those of us who are single might find a date outside of the "norm" eventually...a date who's braincells are not fighting for territory. Loved the post, ty for making me laugh today :).
glad you enjoyed my post, SD :) i heard the best place to find a single guy is at home depot during the day on a weekday.
*looking around the home office*...hmm, I could use a new door...and carpet.....and (trailing off)...rofl
