I know this gay guy in Kirksville named Neal... He's kind of in the closet because of his job, but apart from that you guys would definitely hit it off...<br /><br />At least your friends fix you up. Mine leave me to fend for myself. I just had an idea!

The well-meaning straight friends. When they say, "I know someone who would be PERFECT for you!", it really translates as, "I know ANOTHER gay man!" Yeesh. My sympathies, Matt. Ah, lovely.

Yep, sucks all around. :) This seems an interesting parallel to my parents’ firm conviction that any woman they meet willl be perfect, as long as her lineage traces back to the Indian subcontinent.

As a "regular" Jewish single guy, I have found that well-meaning(?) individuals will try to match me up with any woman who is Jewish and single (or often merely single), proclaiming her "the perfect match." It doesn't matter if those individuals know nothing about her (or me) other than that we're single-- that should somehow be sufficient. Pairing up any two random single people should result in a match, and if it doesn't something is wrong with one or both people. On the other hand, if you have enough random encounters you're bound to get a Date From Hell out of it at some point. Good for a laugh or two. Matt, I don’t think this is in any way peculiar to gays.
