It was the first time I have been into Ruby Skye and I lasted about 5 minutes. Definitely not my scene.<\/p>\n<p>We then popped into <a href=\"http:\/\/www.anu-bar.com\" target=\"_blank\">An\u00fa<\/a> but that was slow so we cruised over to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.marsbarsf.com\" target=\"_blank\">Mars<\/a> for a glass of wine. Our talk turned to why such fine women as these two did not have boyfriends and I launched into my standard reply of &#8220;You must not want one.&#8221; I went on to extol the virtues of two ladies being accompanied by a wingman (any male who is not dating them).<\/p>\n<p>As if to prove my point, I was saying how Courtney is in a different space than Suha and that she is more open and accepting of &#8220;The Fantastic&#8221; in the universe, when a very nice gentleman walked up and asked for a light. Seeing as how none of us smoke, we were not able to help him.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If the two of you were sitting here on your own he probably would not have had the cajones to walk up and chat.&#8221; They laughed it off and said he just wanted a match. &#8220;No man is going to walk up and speak to strange women unless they hold some interest for him. I am not saying he wants to sleep with you&#8230; but he is definitely interested.&#8221; Courtney says; &#8220;But I am not attracted to him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And that is when it hit me&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That is the beauty of our Karmic existence. It is rarely a one-to-one relationship. Suha said earlier tonight that we were going to meet your boyfriend tonight. Well we just did. It was not that guy&#8230; but it was his friend. You were one step removed from meeting the guy you were about to date.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You have to start talking with Mr. I-Need-A-Light in order to get to his friend. Men get that. They ask 10 women to chat and 9 will reject them. If one ends up chatting, they have had a successful run. Women want to be ASKED and then only want to talk to the one who will eventually become theirs. But women fail as often as men. The difference is&#8230; they WAIT to be asked to chat. This means they mostly end up chatting with guys who are willing to walk up and ask to chat with them. More often than not, they guy they really want to talk to&#8230; is his friend.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So after another wonderful night of FreeForm (the monthly party thrown by The West Bank Duo of Jeff Ziskin and Iyad Kaddour), my friends Suha and Courtney and I ran through Ruby Skye to Hernan Cattaneo.
