Post post-op musings

I'm recovering nicely. Still a bit sore in that special place but it's better than it was. Have to be careful moving around but it's getting better daily.

I didn't mention that my doctor is a really funny guy--prior to the surgery he came by and made a mark on my abdomen with a pen. "Wouldn't want to take out the wrong testicle." he said.

"The wrong cyst. Off of a testicle." I corrected him, while wondering how many times he's made that joke.

In the recovery room I got a pleasant smile from a cute nurse. Right.  Now women want me. Let me guess--in a couple weeks I'll go back to not existing from the waist down in most women's minds.

I did make sort of a decision about that sort of thing recently and this is something that will probably piss some people off. Regarding my dating life--before I had just taken myself completely out of the picture. Now, I've decided that I'll get back into it. However, I know going in that nothing long-term will result from any new women I meet. I know, you're saying I shouldn't say that, but trust me, I am certain about this. There are reasons I say this, and they are good reasons, and maybe one day I'll go into them, but I can tell you now that there isn't anyone new I can meet that I'll want any sort of serious long term thing with. So, my goal when I meet new women is simply to get laid. If I'm not interested in her in that way then it's already over. She'll lose me at "hello." Basically, my only criteria is, "Is she cute?"

And I know it has to be a two-way street, and I also know that in the looks department I'm really nothing special. I'm content with this knowledge, and striking out is no longer a big deal with me.

And really the only difference between me and every other guy on the planet is I'm actually saying this, and plan to make it clear to any new women who come into my life. So they'll know where this is going. Yeah, I know this will result in a lot of failed attempts at dates. It'll also, though, get me laid, a couple of times, anyways.
