Winning and epic fails
Men say and do really stupid things when they meet women. Sorry men, but it’s a proven fact. Just in case someone wants to challenge this quality piece of information, I’ve got evidence:
- Does any women actually clean her house in lingerie? No! Seriously, when I’m on my hands and knees, scrubbing the floor, working up a sweat, I am definitely not in my lingerie. But, how many guys reading this right now just got a sexy visual? #epicfail
I don’t have slumber parties. I’m 36 years old; if there is a man spending the night at my house I don’t call it a “slumber party”. Nor do I take naps with strangers. #epicfail
Tinder, oh how I love thee … Some guys can’t even get through to round 1 on this app. Tinder photo fails: do not pose with a midget in a superhero costume, do not pose with a cigarette and a rifle, do not pose in a pink bunny costume, and if you really are sleeping on your ex-wife’s couch don’t write it in your profile. #epicfail
If you honestly believe that you have magical powers, then why are you single? And if you are magical, and I ask you for a new car, don’t take a picture of a random car on the street and pass it off as something you conjured up. #epicfail
The Hunger Games Dating Plan … Really? After thinking and re-thinking about such an absurd idea, I realized that too was an #epicfail.
But sometimes a girl has to take a leap of faith in the single world of epic failures to find one that might actually be #winning.
I like to take baths. I often sit in the bathtub with a bottle of wine by my side watching Netflix for hours. Sometimes I bring my phone with me and read emails, text my friends, slide through Facebook, or peruse Tinder.
I met Bathtub Bob a few months back and as we randomly messaged each other we realized we were usually in the bathtub at the same time. As things escalated we went from messages on Facebook to texting to sending photos (PG rated!!), until he mentioned Bathtub Facetime.
My first reaction was “Hell No!” First of all, I look like a drowned squirrel in the bathtub. And secondly, I’m naked in the bathtub! But … when he made his proposal he used logic: our hands are wet in the bathtub so it’s hard to keep texting, we live thousands of miles away so we can’t hang out in person and we can position our phones so there’s no nudity. So I went for it… yes mom, it was PG rated. You never know what’s going to happen when you try new things, but I can say Bathtub Bob has a leg up on the competition. #winning

At the age of 36, Jaimie has gone on one adventure after another. Getting an idea in her head she isn’t afraid to jump into action… Usually with no planning and never considering the consequences. At 17 she left her small Iowa town to follow the band Phish and live in her car, she spent time protesting logging in Oregon, got arrested for organizing a topless march in Ohio, received a Bachelor’s degree in photography, spent a month camping in the forest at a rainbow gathering, received a Master’s degree in Music Management, managed some rock bands, modeled for Playboy, slept with a rock & roll legend a few times (hey, you would too), sold real estate in Los Angeles, bought a condo in Las Vegas and lost it to the bank when the market crashed, built her house in the Hollywood Hills in a bikini after the contractor she hired stole her money, took classes to become a magician, wrote articles and columns published in several magazines and websites, ran a production company, produced commercials with huge stars like John Stamos and Betty White and currently owns a casting company. And now she’s taking her readers with her on her next adventure: Mancation.
