Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for May 17, 2023

lol i thought she was listing her experiences with those guys lol ..then i read the punchline.

No, the ‘curse’ of anybody who tries to find a date at a singles bar

The only real psychics are single, bitter millionaires.

If she is that talented, she wouldn’t need a bar. She could walk down the street and find somebody. She could look for somebody who doesn’t drink.

Someone else in the room read this over my shoulder and remarked, “Bunch of singles by themselves in a bar? Losers all.”

What do you mean “curse”? She knows exactly who to avoid. The problem she has is picking the wrong bar to go to. She needs to find somewhere with some good looking guys so she at least has a couple of options for a hookup if she chooses to go that route.

Honestly, she doesn’t look like such a winner herself, so she might as well wade right in…

Looks (& sounds) like Beverly Hofstadter, Leonard’s mother.

Problem for her is that there are no winners. The perfect man or woman is a fantasy. Everyone has a flaw or flaws.

Pick the best loser you can and be happy you have somebody.

Cruel; cruel, but fair. Either she’s got in-built radar, or she’s been around the block a few times …

Some say the psychic Jeane Dixon, when in a single bar could size up a man fairly quickly. She hadn’t acquired that name for no reason.

All men are jerks and all women are psychos. A real woman psychic would know that she has to find the right jerk for her. When the match is made then it’s a lifetime of her trying to make him less of a jerk and him trying to keep her psycho episodes under control.

Going to celebrate the official 50th on 5/19. For the younger crowd here, the work on both sides never ends.

Looks like a blessing to me.

She lists nine losers in her mind, but there are only eight male customers in the bar. She must also think the bartender is a loser.

If she were a real psychic she might have chosen a more likely venue than a bar whose name is shorthand for, “Hangout for the desperate.”

You don’t have to be that psychic to be that right in most bars.

Today’s comment section has an awful lot of folks offended by her opinions of others that sound like they hit maybe a wee bit too close to home (aka a bunch of snowflakes) and also too many of those who are far too willing to judge a book by its cover. No wonder there are so very many INCEL’s

In today’s bars they’d all be sitting down staring into their phones

What’s the real difference between a psychic and a psychotic?

You don’t have to be psychic to recognize these guys.

I met my wife at a high school dance when we were teens. After the third date, I stopped looking. (I am not that smart. I am chalking this one up to Divine Intervention). I’ve been spared “the bar scene” and the “dating game.” Apparently I missed out on a lot of drama.

Curse? Sounds more like she’s blessed by knowing who to avoid – everyone but the bartender.

Very, very funny today. A good laugh.

The only thing to remember is…Develop a symbiotic relationship with the bartender & everything falls into place.

And yet she’d have to ask my name and what I wanted to know…

Beer will see you through times of no women better than women will see you through times of no beer.

Looking for love in the wrong places. People drink to forget: who they are, where they are, and why this never worked before. :)

Okay. Why not. I mean really. Men just glance at the B and B and decide if its worth the price of a drink to find out if she’s gonna be drama.

Try the stock market.At least you’ll be RICH and alone.

Perhaps her judgmentalism why she’s still single.

So grab #7!

Ten descriptions, nine men, so which description is hers?

So she identifies the issues of ten guys, but there are only nine in the room. So either someone has multiple loser issues, or she’s also keying in on a ghost!

Curse? It’s a way to avoid wasting a lot of time.

She should know better.

Hypergamy at at it’s finest!!!

Every single loser in the bar is looking for someone younger and more attractive than this woman. They all think they can do better, even though they don’t have much to offer a woman.

Why don’t physics win the lottery?

C’mon, she’s not psychic! She’s just reading their nametags!

Did you hear about the psychic who sued a hospital for a negligent CAT scan? She claimed she lost her psychic powers. The court of appeal overturned the judgment, saying she should have seen it coming. (bada bump).

If most women (according to many men) are psychic, how did we end up over-populating the planet?

why do i get the feeling there’s a different psychic looking at her also saying “loser”? It’s probably the bartender seeing her a the bar mirror.

I read a science fiction short story about the curse of telepathy when I was in junior high. Knowing what’s going on in people’s interior monologues can be boring, creepy, and sometimes scary.

She must be picking up a psychic reading from a guy in the restroom.

She’s including the bartender - 9 categories and only 8 patrons

But, didn’t she see this coming?

I wouldn’t call a giant time-saver a CURSE.

Curse? Looks like a huge blessing to me.

cmerb: DC RULES!!!!

Just dropping a response: There ARE real psychics and they are most certainly NOT all single or bitter millionaires. Intuition is helpful and useful in a lot more settings than those connected with making money, believe it or not. Generalizations about any part of a population are going to be incorrect for at least a part of that population, if not illogical. There will always be balance.

Plus she listed 11 possible loser types and there are only 9 men there if you count the bartender.

Isn’t the phrase “proudly illiterate loser” a bit redundant?

if a real psychic, why is she in a loser bar and instead very rich from winning the lottery since she knew the numbers???

George Carlin: I’d hate to be bi. I’d be turned on by everyone

“Singles Depot” will be the name of the bar I open someday.

The psychic’s shop was closed due to unforeseen circumstances
