Marcia: So can you come to my singularity ceremony, Mike? Mike: I wouldn't miss it for the world, Marcia. Marcia: Great. You can't imagine what a relief it's going to be to finally call off the search for the perfect male and get on with my life! I'm a changed woman. In fact, last Friday, I made my last official pass at a married man. Mike: Oh, yeah? Who was that? Marcia: It was you, you jerk. Mike: I was the last? Oh, hey, I'm very flattered.

She should have stuck it out seeing as how Mike and his then bride would end up.

WOW, Marcia reminds me of Terry from the office. Terry locked on to a middle manager and followed him out of state when he was transferred. There she graduated from office bitch to home wrecker. Then he, hubby number two, was transferred back and we were stuck with her again. Office life went from Heaven to Hell in a second. I had lunch with him shortly after he returned. There were four people at the table, one person with a severe case of Married to a Bitch (MTAB) and three people with an equally severe, unkind case of schadenfreude.

They go out with married men because they don’t want anything permanent

I loved the idea of a singularity party, But this approach seems like a fantasy. My experience is that often “she came on to me” is an excuse, mis-perception, or simple rationalization. If a woman is pleasant, maybe she’s just polite. If she seems distant, she may not, in fact, be a frigid bitch—maybe she’s been burned by married/attached men who think she’s fair game for their flirtatious behavior. Seriously, I’m a grandma in my 60’s, and hardly a hottie, but still have to discourage other women’s husbands.

Mike’s oblivious. He’s not alone.
Sheila Hardie about 9 years ago
Maybe she’d have had better luck if she threw passes to UNmarried men.
