Single Ladies Lament

"You start to do the 'what's-wrong-with-me?' thing," she confesses, which only undermines your confidence, thereby making you less attractive. It's a vicious cycle.

"This town is lousy with narcissism," she complains. "I get approached by cocky bastards when I'm out. I want the good guys to approach me. I know they're out there and they're sick of the club scene, too."

She's had steamy affairs with twenty-somethings ("Let's face it," she says, "the sex is really good.") but she no longer dates guys without spouse potential. In fact, she recently decided to remain celibate until she finds a legitimate, long-term boyfriend. "Why sleep with someone who doesn't consider me worthy of being in a relationship with?" she says.

I'll bet Santa Barbara's superabundant single gals know just what she means. It's too bad The Catch can't find her smart, funny, considerate soulmate among them.

"Believe me," she says, "if I could switch teams that easily, I would."
