Why You Are Still Single

I went out with J and his friends last night to Webster Hall (I know! I know!) for some good ol' fashioned fun and dancing. I'm not much of a clubber, but if I do go out, I require hip hop to dance to. None of that techno business.

Anyway, it was me and all his dudes and a few of them were on the prowl. Being a nice wing-woman, I tried to scope out the few girls at the club who seemed cute, pretty and willing to talk to someone. I pointed out half a dozen of them to J's friends, and encourage them to go up to these girls, and here were the excuses:

1) She's all the way over there!
2) She hasn't made eye contact with me yet!
3) Way too expensive! (there was an auction for "sexy singles" on stage where the proceeds went to charity--even though it was a 2 girls for the price of 1 deal! And the winner would get champagne and a VIP booth!
4) Yeah, but she just walked the other way!

I watched these guys stand, pouting, drink in hand the way that either I or my girlfriends have stood pouting, drink in hand on those nights when we just HOPED and PRAYED someone cute and nice would come talk to us. And here we were, at this Bridge & Tunnel club with these horrible men around us somehow managing to pick up girls, and my friends--very attractive, non-skeezy, successful guys--were having trouble mustering the strength and resolve to make a move.

So if the single guys out there are acting like girls, i.e. waiting for girls to come and talk to them...Gee. What are all the single women to do?
