How I Spent my Saturday Afternoon

No one can say that I am not actively trying to find a boyfriend. I have just spent 4 hours looking through every single male between the ages of 25 and 35 on Match.com. 4 hours! Did you know that there's only 500 eligible men between the ages of 25 and 35 online on Match.com within 20 miles of Pittsburgh? That's it. That's all. 4 hours and I have gone through all of the men available to me.

Out of 500, only 165 of these men received a wink from me. That means that they were relatively cute and they met my height requirements (at the very least 5'8").

You might be tempted to say "Kristy, why only a 20 mile radius? Don't you think that's a little too small. That there would be more men if you make it like, 50 miles?" Well, let me tell you that I have encountered my fair share of men from Butler, Connellsville, Ohio...I'm not driving to Ohio for a date. That will never happen. The cute guy from Connellsville - I never texted him. It's too far. I'd never go. It would be rude of me to get some guy's hopes up when I know damn well that I am lazy and cheap. I'm not paying for gas to go all the way down to Connellsville. The guy had a kid, too. It would have been a precarious situation to begin with.

So now, instead of pre-ranking my fantasy football team, I have spent my entire afternoon checking out men on the internet. And out of the 165 winks that I sent out, only 1 response so far. So I'm apparently the only loser sitting on the computer all afternoon trying to get a date.

And now I am out of men. So if you know of any cute ones between the ages of 25-35, tell them to join Match.com because I'm out of men. What am I going to do next Saturday afternoon?

Why 35? Wouldn't 40 be better?
