Transaction cancelled

When I stopped to put gas in my car the other day, I stuck my credit card into the pump, answered all of the questions then punched in my zip code. For the first time ever, the machine said "Transaction cancelled." What? Cancelled? Why?

Then I realized I had typed in my old zip code of more than a decade. The one from my old married life instead of the one of the last three months of my new and fabulous single life.   

How many other transactions are cancelled because of a number?

So many things related to dating are measured by a number. There's age (or at least what age you look like), weight, net worth, the 1-to-10 appearance scale, and of course bra cup size is a big one for many guys. And at this point, we're only at "hello."

The other night a couple of my guy friends were talking and they agreed they would sometimes have sex with a 5, especially if they had been drinking. But they typically strive for at least a 7. I guess a 4 would be enough to cancel their transaction.

And then last night, there was my conversation with an almost stranger who called all women "crazy bitches." His measure is clearly level of craziness since we're all crazy bitches to begin with for him. Wonder if strives for a 7 at the crazy level, too? Personally, I think he deserves a 10.

Ladies, admit it, the measurement continues. We measure a guy's manliness -- his ability to take control in a gentlemanly way. And the size of a cock can be a deal breaker to some. For me, it's more about what he can do with it. Speaking of 7, he needs to be at least at the 7 sexual skill level. Wouldn't you agree?

I'm particularly sensitive about the number of emotional bags we carry. And for me, 7 would definitely cancel the transaction. What would cancel your transaction?

Love to the single girls,
