He needs to find a new job, lose weight, and then . . . nothing else matters because what he really wants is a relationship. Why does everyone else seem to be dating but he's still single? It's not like he has a tail, two assholes, or looks like the Elephant Man. He dresses well (from H\u0026amp;M), gives ten percent of his salary to charity (drag queen performers), and exercises regularly (exercises his right to hook up, that is). \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e He blames the gay community with its high standards and ageism. Everyone wants a rich, young, skinny bitch-so basically his boss. The other day, he chatted with a handsome Broadway actor (note: server), but after Jeremy sent him his pictures the server blocked him. Jeremy blames his pudgy face. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Things only get worse before they get better. Credit card debt, long commute, and lots of social activities.
