		<description><![CDATA[Ah, BC, I&#039;ve been percolating on your response for some time... it&#039;s not like you haven&#039;t said that before in several other places or times so much as how my context has changed when I read it.  Let&#039;s call it a new appreciation.  :)

Out here in &quot;the sticks&quot;, with much, much, less turnover (and where NYC&#039;rs retire to raise children and drive badly) sometimes you play things philosophically, &quot;you get what you get and you don&#039;t get upset&quot;, and you let things run their course and pick up a lesson or two if not a new friend - OR - you keep playing the same-same-stay-at-home game. But yeah, I get where you&#039;re coming from I just don&#039;t want to feel like I&#039;m standing around with a clipboard checking off boxes... but I&#039;m sure as I continue to meet more and more women my expectations will be much clearer to myself and I&#039;ll be less tolerant of square pegs in round holes and better at getting &lt;b&gt;my&lt;/b&gt; needs met in addition to theirs. 

That&#039;s all very 50,000 foot sounding.
 
Feeling kinda&#039; burnt at the moment on the whole endeavor, like the return on investment is way too low, so I guess more efficient screening is already due.

Which is all very buzzwordy sounding.  :)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m always building case files on chicks.  Every day. :)

I operate from guilty &#039;till proven innocent.  I can&#039;t afford to do it in the other direction.

I live in the center of the universe, Manhattan, New York City, New York, USA, Earth.  There&#039;s too much turnover here to waste time on a chick that I don&#039;t have a great time with and have great respect for.

If they pass the test, then I know it&#039;ll always be a good time for me when I hang out with them and I appreciate and cherish them.  If they fail.. No matter... There will be more candidates tomorrow (or later this evening! :D).]]></description>
