Date Machine: I need a Frenchman

Posted by airheadgenius

 

So, I've exchanged a bunch of emails and had a conversation with a day trader turned academic.

And exchanged a bunch of emails with an academic turned lawyer. (The latter being 5 years younger than me - he says - with a face as fresh as a daisy.)

Between their schedules and my schedule, we have yet to actually meet. To be fair, my life is less hectic, but a single mother's spontaneity requires 24 hours notice. Ha freakin ha.

But it gets me to thinking.... as so many things do - that New Yawkers HAVE to be busy. It's kind of an unwritten law. Part of the contractual obligation of living here. Even if you're sitting home with your thumb up your arse, you have to SAY you have plans.

Then again, maybe internet daters are by definition busier than 'real life' daters. Maybe the reason we are on here in the first place is because we don't have time to engage with the real world beyond our jobs or family obligations. Maybe.

In any case, I am tired of the overscheduled under satisfied New Yawkers. I need to find myself an Englishman. Surely one of my own would have plenty of time for a beer, that being our own cultural requirement. Unless said Englishman had succombed to the pressure of the city and was working late rather than drinking in an approximation of a pub.

Here's a plan - I need a Frenchman. Yep -that's my new strategy. They ALWAYS have the time for alcohol.

If you are French, dear reader, please drop me a line.

They do look like that in Montreal. I'm telling you, a weekend here and you will be whisked off your feet by a man that puts New Yawk men to shame.

alot of them DO look like olivier martinez. its getting harder and harder to find lazy parisian men though... if you want someone who will REALLY have lots of time for you you need to find a non-parisian frenchman.

well, you might want to carefully pick which frenchman you meet. lots of navel-gazing covered with cheap romanticism in that culture....

It’s tough not to compromise in this city.  I mean, isn’t that why we’re all single?  Either we wanted more, or someone else did.  But there comes a time, I think, when a compromise may lead to the whole shebang.  Or maybe a quick shebang on Sunday morning.  It’s all part of that less is more concept you learn about when you rented your first cavernous studio in Manhattan with an eat-in-bedroom.  So instead of a Frenchman with a thick matt of chest hair and a cynical squint at all things American – apologies, Zeitgeitsy, but I have to live up to my American characterization that I know what the hell I’m talking about without actually knowing what the hell I’m talking about – how about a guy who likes French Fries, or French Bread, or even French roasted coffee.  It seems to me that if someone says they like all things faux French, they might actually have time to enjoy them.  Maybe it’s not the accent they use when they say they can meet for coque au vin, but the fact they can meet at all.  And then Sunday morning is just on the horizon.

Hmmm... I actually have no chest hair whatsoever... neither does my father... In fact, I don't think the french are particularly hirsute in general...

Zeit - I was thinking more of a just got off the plane, spent most of his life there Frenchman.

spjv - you know, it's been several years since I visited Montreal. I really should swing by and pick up some swarthy male.

tearsof - Men from Boston could suit me just fine, as long as they moved to New York.

vix_en- I don't want lazy. Lazy would be no good in bed. What I need is a good old fashioned 37 hours a week union man. At least he'd take August off with me.

no tv - see, there's always a catch. That's my little french bubble burst. Dammmmn.

breathing in - now there's a whole new take on it. Will ponder that further...

zeit - I don't think 2 men is a particularly representative focus group. Every last Frenchman I know is hairy like an ape.
