Where are the mates of good stature?? My friends ask...

Every time I have a conversation with any one of my single friends, they ask, "where can I meet a nice person". My answer to them is, that people are everywhere, just open your senses [eyes ears,mouth nose(forget about touch until you finally meet the person)] and be flexible. Most of the single of my single friends have an idea of what they want in life. The main reasons my friends are single are two. First both men and women are not willing to budge from the idea of what they want in a mate or spouse. Second people looking for mates, are not looking for people that match their qualifications. Apples and oranges do not mix. The only way to mix the two would be in a blender and make juice. The blender of life is compromise, be flexible. Flexibility is a major part of life, and allows for every one to coexist harmoniously. On the other hand cats and dogs can like together harmoniously as long as they know each others boundaries. If you cannot afford the maintenance of a Rolls Royce then buy a Chevrolet. The same with people. How many times have we seen mismatches of couples? Fat short old man kissing a tall lanky blonde bombshell of a woman. Another example, Tall young athletic male hand in hand with and much older raggedy lady. Many people say that money is the motivator, maybe. What it really is, is personality. More times than not, charm wins over money. I say be yourself, when out looking for a friend for life. A person goes out a good time and the possibility of meeting someone be straight cut the fluff. The more truthful you are the better the chances of finding what you want. As a bartender I see many people trying to meet everyday at my bar. There is a song and dance being performed all the time by someone. For me the best place to meet any person would be in the daytime without the influence of alcohol. I met my wife at a church picnic on a Sunday afternoon. There is no religion involved when you go to such a gathering. The supermarket deli-counter is another spectacular place to talk to a person while they are waiting for their order, when they are off guard and natural. The car wash while you are waiting for your car to be cleaned inside and out strike up a conversation about your gas-guzzler versus a hybrid or the tires and mileage. The most unique way to meet a person would be standing in front of a parking meter and ask a passerby, if the had change in return for your paper money, to use for the parking meter. Opportunities are everywhere just try not to let them go. Remember be flexible and don to let chances go unexploited...And unless you are completely relaxed stay within your league. But if you are not relaxed you will never be happy. Tension is sensed by both sides and this is an unwanted trait.
