It all seems so "packaged"...

Since first trying to start a craft group for singles, and keep it more or less a grass-roots thing, I really am starting to feel like a lone David trying to slay a Goliath who's way too big for me. People's general reaction (yes, even other singles who want to meet someone!) is typically, "what, take on the big dating services? Are you kidding?"

It's almost like there's some evil billionaire hiding in his tower somewhere, who dictates what we singles are and aren't allowed to do. Any independent action that the evil billionaire guy can't control, is a dangerous little bug which must be squashed. At least, that's the way it feels to me... I'm one little calf who doesn't think he should be processed along with all the other cattle.

The ones who will eventually lose out in this little game are the high-end dating services, but only because they're doing it to themselves. They don't want to accept that the standard of living in this country is in decline, and if most people had $3K to spend, they'd pay bills with it, not spend it on some dating service. If these outfits were smart, they'd have a price-cutting war, and shoot for the working class singles, because there are plenty of us around. But, facts is facts...

Meanwhile, don't anyone feel sorry for me, I'm still exploring my options. I may have gotten my butt kicked for now, but I have an irritating way of rising phoenix-like from the ashes. I know that somewhere in Los Angeles with its 10 million people, there's a woman somewhere who'd love to settle down and go into the craft biz with me, and all she'd really have to do is give me a hug a day and believe in me: she doesn't even have to have my baby. There now, that's not such a huge list of demands, is it? :-)
