During a minor quarrel this morning, my one roommate says to the other (they are a couple) something to the effect of: "No wonder Reggie's single, you American girls are crazy!" (he's from Muritania.)
Ouch.
I'm sure he didn't MEAN it as an insult (to me at least) but it sure did sting like one. It's not like I'm single on purpose!

Well, not really. But, I imagine if I knew the same people you do and lived anywhere nearby, all kinds of chicks would be up your grill.

Like - no wonder reggie is single, all the girls here are too damn crazy and reggie is a smart and better man than to be dating crazy american girls...
reggie [email] said at 8:09 PM 05-21-2006: I guess y'all are right, and I'm sure it wasn't intentionally insulting but it does sting a bit. I'm totally willing to take on the craziness of y'all ladies.
marcia [email] said at 8:13 PM 05-21-2006: according to your posts you get some serious action...? girl like bumpin' uglies but not having a relationship with you? i'm confused...
reggie [email] said at 8:01 AM 05-22-2006: Serious action? Nah, at least I don't think so.
That said -- and this could be a whole other post -- I'm sure I'm not the only person, boy or gal, who does this but there are times where you meet someone and you know right off the bat whether or not:
A) you'd like to date that person
B) you'd ONLY sleep with that person
C) both
D) neither (but in a "let's just be friends" kinda way not in a "you're too ugly" kinda way)
