Yesterday I was having a conversation with someone regarding the current dating pool in the western Wisconsin area. I shared a recent "bad dating" experience and she shared hers. Our comparison of the two dates spurred the desire to write this blog.
She dated a crazy guy; I dated a dirty guy. So, of the two, (which seem to be the only available men out there right now), which would you choose? The guy lacking hygiene or the guy who is off his rocker?
I should probably explain a little bit. It will help you make your decision.
The gentleman I had gone on a date with wasn't, you know, Pig-pen dirty. There was no halo of bugs floating around him and while I didn't care for the smell of his soap, there was the smell of soap present, so that's a win. What I didn't care for was the slightly stained t-shirt and when he brought me to his house, it was filthy. I knew going in that he'd been remodeling, but it was filthy. Beyond the usual dust and clutter from home remodeling. I won't say much more than that...but needless to say, I didn't want to touch anything (let alone him) or sit down.
So while having my usual morning coffee at a local coffee joint, I got into a discussion regarding the aforementioned "dirty guy." The woman said "well, at least he wasn't crazy! I dated a guy who was crazy and didn't take any meds for it...really!"
I need to make a sidenote here. Given the fact that I am *technically* crazy, I can understand where this dude is coming from. I will say, however, that everyone has a responsibility to take care of themselves. If you didn't know me, you wouldn't know that I am *crazy* as I take care of my mental health quite well. Moving on....
She explained that he was bipolar and he didn't take any meds due to his lack of insurance. He'd call her and say things like "I'm gonna kill myself if you leave me..." and whatnot, therefore making his problems her responsibility. Who knows what else he was doing!
So that leaves the question - if you HAD to choose between the two, the dirty guy or the crazy guy, which would you choose? I'd really like to know. I know which one I'd choose but I'll save that decision and theory for after I perhaps get some feedback....so tell me...
Dirty or Crazy?
