DAY 522 - Beer vs Wine.. Call me a Wino

So I have been back in Canada now for almost a week, and i am trying my hardest to not get the vacation blues. But its HARD ok! I mean, there is a huge, and i mean HUGE fundamental difference between men in Italy and Men in canada. I am not knocking Canadian men here, lets just chalk it up to lack of century deep history, or the fact that we live in a cultural melting pot that causes lots of morals and values to be ever diluted with time, or perhaps its the fact that we are in Alberta and well.. lets be honest, its land of the "Dude".

You see, Italy was a land of wonder for a women born in Alberta, at least one who wants a little more then the average albertan man. It was full of Rugged, Handsome men that actually believe a women should be taken care of and served. (Typically i wouldn't like this being the oh so feminist, independent, i can do it my self type of girl.. but they serve you in a way that makes your inner goddess buck up and say Hell Yes pour my wine!! )  This is a place where you wouldn't dare pour your own glass of water or wine, thats the mans job. You wouldn't dare open a door or pull out a chair or carry a heavy bag, this , again, is a mans job. Yes a Mans. A man that likes music, history, art, would go to watch theatre, opera and have a conversation about world events and 15th century architecture. Yes and the SPA!!  Unbelievable. On top of this, they dress like they just stepped out of a GQ magazine, ALL of them. They all have wonderfully full, wavy thick dark heads of hair and beautiful eyes. Also, i must note the vast majority speak multiple languages. This isn't something that necessarily matters, but it sure is enjoyable to fantasize about. Still now, a week later, i am in heaven every time i close my eyes.

Then there is Alberta.. back to the land of the "Dude"  Its a vast heaven for Men that like to drive big trucks, wear "no affliction shirts" , cover themselves in tattoos that don't mean a damn thing because its a trend, wear dirty sneakers, baggy jeans and clothes that don't fit, guys that smoke, guys that eat poorly, guys that think women should serve them barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen, guys that can't string together an actual compliment or real pick up line to save their lives,  so everything has to focus on how much money they make, where they work and how many houses or toys they own, oh and my personal favourite, "wanna go to vegas".. please.. Men who think the idea of a good time is playing beer drinking games in a garage with there buddies, dirt biking, snow mobiling, bar fights, dinner at burger joints and lets not forget the ever so enjoyed crap movies that involve guys farting and tasteless nudie scenes or mindless hours of hockey.

Now i am really trying hard not to paint a completely horrible picture. But i find it interesting that since posting this blog and stating my 524 day no serious dating of any kind rule, the amount of tasteless Albertan individuals that have creeped out of the wood work with an actual half assed attempt to try and drum up a date.. can you not READ, do you not respect a Women's wishes? common people.

Unless you are some ruggedly handsome, well cultured, speaks several languages, knows about history, current world events, art, music, and literature, oh and is firmly grounded and in touch with your inner self kind of man. Unless you can manage to hold up a conversation that doesn't involve talking about just hockey, the new truck you want to buy or the last good party you went to, i am NOT interested. Even if you were the above, i still wouldn't be. 522 days and counting!

Alberta :


Italy :



I am sure the above blog statements will get some negative press from every man i know. But just be open minded, sometimes we want MORE.. sometimes we don't want to settle for well... LESS.. sometimes its a turn on to have something to say that actually matters.. Or that your at least trying to better yourself continually.

Anyways, for now.. i will continue down the road to 30 happily fantasizing about my perfect man that does not exists... and continue to be pleased by none other then yours truly.. I mean lets be honest here.. the Majority of you Albertan, Man loving women out there are pleasing yourselves more then your man is anyway, or not at all. Generally the "dudes" don't take the time to sort us out properly anyway.. we Albertan women are the best Actresses around ; )  (Women, you know what i am talking about! )

until next time..

Jenny
