Whiskey and now Fred keep yammering on about how women are “pro-Obama” and how awful it is that single women refuse to hook up with “good men”. Yammering, I say, because it’s just nonsense.

Evidently they see some un-natural link between females who will vote for Obama and females who will not mate with “good men” (and I’m waiting for a definition of *that* too — no, on second hand, I don’t want to hear more yammering).

However, I have never once heard either Fred nor Whiskey comment on how men WILL NOT date “fat chicks”. Personals ads inevitably have the phrase “no fat chicks”. Or how about the age-old saying “men won’t make passes at girls who wear glasses”. That pretty much covers a vast majority of women in the United States right now, except for plastic enclaves in New York, Miami, and LA.

Given the current rates of obesity in the United State (among both women AND men), how many “fat chicks” do you suppose are sitting out there alone on a Saturday night? And how many of those lonely fat chicks do you think might be attending Democratic fund raisers as a chance to mingle and meet people? I *know* that a lot of single people see politics as a way to meet people, a social interaction sort of thing, and it might be attractive because (1) it’s not religious, and (2) there’s a nice feeling of doing something “good” or “green”.

I’ve heard young men and young women talking about attending the protest for this or that this coming weekend and who’ll they’ll be going with and what they’ll wear. There is very little thought given as to what their sign will say or who the speaker will be. AND the young men are looking for “hotties”. Yeah. Right.

But the point I want to make now is that if women aren’t attracted to “good men”, then are men attracted to women who don’t look like Brittany Spears complete with the Daisy Duke shorts, the long blonde hair, and the cute little giggle? I say no, and I also just cannot see where Obama comes into this equation of men seeking hotties and women not being hotties and so ending up alone and as a single mom.

I just think this is such a non-issue I can’t believe the two of them keep dragging it back through the kitchen door again and again and again.
