Alone In Atlanta (AIA) - The Bailout
Money is becoming more and more scarce. The stock market is the worst it’s ever been in years. Everyone is robbing peter (who has nothing) to pay Paul (who has even less) just to try and make ends meet. Even the rich, who are usually out somewhere getting richer while the poor are somewhere getting poorer, are losing sizable chunks of their fortunes due to the unfortunate circumstance that is our economy. At the same time potential mates are becoming scarce. Not just for women and not just for men but for everyone. With awkward ratios, incarcerations, violence among each other, etc. it is becoming nearly impossible to get a date, let alone find that special someone. Even those who are usually lucky in love are questioning the monstrosity that has become the dating world. With money being scarce, jobs are even more unavailable. Individuals with post graduate degrees are finding themselves struggling just to find a job beneath their credentials, while others are finding it close to impossible to find a job at all. At the same time screening potential applicants in the dating world has become the equivalent to finding a job. With interview questions such as: What do you do?, Can you cook?, and Do you have any kids? (just to name a few), one individual or another are left waiting for that call back to see if they got the job...I mean date...while the other is left feeling that this person does not meet their credentials in some form or fashion and are moving on to the next applicant....I mean...potential mate. So with the economy being in the state it’s in, the world is forced to find options to pay back the deep debt that we've gotten ourselves into. Who do we turn to? Where should we even start looking for monetary replenishment? Similarly, daters who have been coming up short are left looking toward alternative methods to the dating scene: Should I try online dating? Go to church and find a good Christian mate? Let someone set me up on a blind date? Where should I start looking for replenishment in love? With new leadership
this year, I hold on to the hope that we will be alleviated from this
financial hardship that we've had to endure. And with the New Year, I
hold on to the optimism that new and rewarding opportunities will be
awaiting in the dating world. But in both situations, I pray that The
Bailout or some solution will be implemented to bring us prosperity and
make us plentiful...not just in our pockets...but in love as well.

(By
Brittany Manson) - Atlanta (along with the rest of the world),
is in a state of emergency. Words and phrases like: recession and economic
crisis are being used as normally and daily as one would use the words
and phrases: hello and how are you? But just as our economy is suffering
and is in serious need of a bailout, so is the dating world.
