But you just described being single in Los Angeles as well. When I was more actively dating, about 150 years ago, it seemed that the first question from every woman was astrological. (I was about to work in a joke about those women in the Donner Party starving for affection, but that would be in bad taste so I won't.)

Jebus! Surrounded by potential Sarah Winchesters* but unfortunately all of them lacked her spectacular...assets.

One difference - Skeptic's Society meetings, where the women had their own hilarious stories of being courted by Qi Warriors, Knights Templar reincarnated as accountants, etc.

*California inside joke. Non-Californians should just Google "Winchester House San Jose" for yet another depressing look at the Power Of Woo.
