So I was talking to a couple friends last night on this subject.
I have never been “set up” in my entire life. Not to say that I *want* to be set up. But I find it interesting, and even a little disappointing, that none of my friends have ever suggested that I be “set up” with one of their friends. However, I have a couple of guy friends that my friends are always “pushing” on their girlfriends.
I have a couple theories on why this might be. One is that the majority of my friends have known me as a single guy – they associate Mugsy with “single guy who doesn’t have a girlfriend”, so they figure that I’m content with that, and they’re more worried about the friends of mine who they associate with being in a relationship. If that makes sense.
Of course, the insecure jackass part of me thinks that it’s because the friends they encourage to meet their girlfriends are more attractive and interesting than I am. I was discussing this with a buddy, who pointed out that most of my friends probably just think I’m asexual. I don’t know. What’s the deal? Please be honest. I won’t be offended, and please don’t reply to this just to placate my ego. I really want to know the rational behind this phenomenon.
