I have learned that I am better off single.  And in many cases, better off alone.  I feel like that I am so unique and odd, that there will not be a woman that I am to be compatible with.  I am not a good looking guy (though I don't believe that I am ugly).  Despite having a good rating on <a href="http://www.hotornot.com/r/?eid=AMHUBYA&amp;key=NUA" target="_blank">Hot Or Not</a>.... The picture I used doesn't show my face completely... it is partially hidden.

My Hot Or Not badge... Currently an 8.1... was as high as 8.5 and as low as 7.4... so, 8.1 is a good average.  The previous try, my score was around 4.5 or 4.7.  My looks haven't changed, but I used a better picture.

But looks aren't everything.  Right?

Just for comparison...

Christian Bale  or me?

Brad Pitt or Me?

So, yeah, looks DO matter... but how much?

Anyway, that's kind of off the point of this post.  Finding somebody that I can get along with and am compatible with and somebody that finds me attractive is a challenge.  For right now, I don't even feel like looking.  I think that being single is the best for all parties involved.

Just look at my <a href="http://www.myspace.com/webpoet73" target="_blank">MySpace</a> profile and see just how odd I am... but that's me.  The real me.  I am not a persona.  I am a real person.  I am not a robot.  I am human.  Believe it or not.

I spend time on <a href="http://www.digg.com/users/webpoet73" target="_blank">Digg</a> and on <a href="http://pownce.com/webpoet73/public/" target="_blank">Pownce</a>.  I spend time on MySpace.  I watch video podcasts and listen to audio podcasts.  I am a heavy metal-geek... I work in Healthcare Technology.  I program (from time to time) in Visual Basic .NET.  Yeah, that's exactly what attracts the girls.  A heavy-metal geek who programs.  I enjoy technology in my everyday life.  It's not something that I look at from afar.  It's something that I enjoy.  Video games, high def television/movies, music, computers/internet.  How could a girl go wrong with me?

Thus, all of this added up = just stay single and alone and I'll be fine.

Some of you may try to convince me otherwise, but until it happens that some girl actually falls for me and it stick, I won't believe it.  It's like the X-Files... "I want to believe."

Comments welcome.
