Anthroplogie.

Greetings to my fellow singleites–and married folk who read for a reminder why they should never attempt dating again. That, and the 30 pounds of paunch you've added while watching Dancing With the Stars over the past 4 years with your spouse is another reason. :) Life ran me ragged, but I'm back on with hopefully some more chuckles for us all!

Before I run down what I've been up to in Philly, I'd like to mention a total find in terms of potential mates per square foot. Moreover, it lies virtually undiscovered by men. I found a place where the women are educated, charmingly vocal, past their clubbing days, and mildly sexy (or unknowingly sexy - my favorite level of sexiness because this allows for a guy to steal a girl totally out of his league and knock her up before she realizes her potential) The place is called Anthrolpologie. Yes, the clothing store.

Now, I admit, the ladies that shop here probably don't own a Yankee hat, or have ever seen Chappelle's Show. Most of these ladies have never drank alone on a Friday night while watching Seinfled and woke up the next morning cuddling a box of Frosted Flakes feeling quite fulfilled... BUT, they totally would listen to you talk about it. And they might even be willing to try the experience if you worded it as some ironic date night that ended with black and white photography of something mundane in your kitchen. These women are sweet. They like lace and girls' nights out where everyone has a bottle of wine and shares pictures of their puppies.

It's not surefire. You can't spend too much time in the store, lest you and your cargo shorts wearing self look a bit creepy (tip: have an item in hand for mom). You also must strap your ballsack on and approach the girl in a most unassuming way (without the aid of alcohol mind you), but trust me, the available talent is surprising. Its virgin grounds haven't been touched by other overzealous men showcasing their sensitive side like at the dogpark. It's similar to the first baseball scout to arrive in Cuba. High risk, high reward.

Go forth!
