AARRGHH!!! THERE IS A GOD AND SHE HATES ME!!!
So I walk into my second Starbucks of the day, the flagship store at the Galleria, and look for a table close to an outlet. At the one free table happens to be sitting a reasonably attractive young light-skinned African American woman, and for some reason we start up a conversation. Turns out we had a few things in common, like having gone to the same elementary school (magnet program) and having recently visited London.

She finishes her lunch and gets back to her pharmacy studies, and start up my Scrabble study and decide it's chilly. I go out to the car for a long-sleeved shirt, and when I get back I see it--she's chunky. Beautiful face, not a 9 or 10 but definitely someone I would consider attractive, but she's definitely packing more than a few extra pounds around the mid-section.

(I'd post a pic, but invariably she would be creeped out if I tried to take a photo of her.)

Anyway, I instantly knew why she had even been talking to me. Had she been slender, she would never have given me the time of day, in accordance with my curse.

More examples--go to HotOrNot.com and do a search of all women in the Houston area aged 18 to 40, and look at how many hotties there are.

Now look at the ones who want to meet me. See a pattern?

So what I am going to do? Of course I'm going to try and ask this girl out, because I don't really have a choice. Unless I've got money to offer her, no truly attractive, fit, woman is interested, which means I have to settle for fatties.

I was an unplanned pregnancy. Why didn't my mother just abort me when she had the chance instead of subjecting me to this miserable existence???

Of course I can't really blame her when I myself am too weak to just go ahead and kill myself.

AHHHHH. NOW IT ALL MAKES SENSE!!!

You're in HOUSTON!!

Okay - now I get your misery.

I lived in Houston most of my life, and moved up to DFW (Arlington specifically) in 2000. I spent a few years living in New Zealand and have globe trotted so I think I can present myself as a pretty well rounded individual.

GET OUT OF HOUSTON.

One of the things that I find when I visit Houston (my mother specifically as she's the only one of my family that stayed there) is that - in GENERAL - most people are not friendly, but are suspicious of conversation. EVEN PEOPLE IN CUSTOMER SERVICE JOBS. Starting a conversation with ANYONE, for me, was like pulling teeth. Nobody wanted to do it.

Without oversimplifying and making a judgement against the quality of women in Houston, but it is MUCH easier finding friends (period - not just girls) in the Metroplex. The ratio of girls to guys is much higher up here.

Houston is depressing by itself - without even saying that finding a girlfriend is very, very, very hard there. Houston was ranked #1 in fat people a few years ago (and still manages to rank high annually) so slim peoples is slim pickins'.

The best advice I can give is move away from Houston.

Thanks for the advice, but I've only been back in Houston for two weeks. Prior to that I've been working in plenty of other places. I don't think Houston is that bad, really.

Yeah, I know you've made your way around nationally, but having Houston as a home base just doesn't work for me anymore.

Well, it's not my favorite city either, but it's got one great quality--more strip clubs and massage parlors than you can shake a stick at. As long as I've got money, I can at least get an attractive women to pretend to pay attention to me.

Dude, God doesn't hate you, she loves you, but she's fat too, and possessive.
