I've been absent largely because in the last five days, I've struck out with three women who had previously expressed an interest in me.
I shall now pause so that you, too, may reflect on just how pathetic that is.
This is a latter-day record. What a scathing indictment of my personality. Nowadays, getting to know me causes women to lose interest. I've tried being myself. I guess it's time to try being someone else. Maybe Clooney.
