Reno Woman Writes Oprah A Letter!

My friend Dana, showed me a letter she had printed, which was sent into the Oprah Winfrey Show. I have never watched the Oprah Winfrey show, but I do know she's quite popular, and her show is on during the day. In the letter, a lady from Reno wrote about how she couldn't find a decent man in Reno, and went on to declare that all the men in Reno were either "Washed up High School Hall of Famer Jocks", or "HornDogs who only want to have sex".
Hmmmm. Okay, let's absorb what isn't being said, given the information we have:
1. This Woman watches dayime television. Does she work swing shift? Have odd days off? Or live her life vicariously thru her "friends" on TV.
2. This Woman trusts Oprah to guide her. Does she have no real friends to discuss her hardships with? Does she ever leave the house, or is she enjoying a daily regimen of TV.
3. This Woman must hang out in "Sports Bars", where else would you find an abundance of, as she puts it "Washed Up High School Hall Of Famers".
4. Since women like sex too, does she not like sex? Sex is a 2 way street, and with a great partnership, it's a enjoyable to both people.
I am a straight man in Reno, who adores the women I know, or have known. I have been lucky that many women have taught me how to dress, and groom myself. I don't sleep with every woman I meet. I believe in Love. I treat women with respect, whether you're hot, or not.
I asked many of my friends, both men and women, how they felt about the Oprah letter.
One man said, "every woman I meet in Reno is a Tweeker (crystal meth nostril sauce)".
A woman said "every man I meet in Reno is an alcohlolic gambling addict".
Still another "All the women in Reno are lesbians".
Finally, one guy added "if I could find one nice girl who isn't tattooed".
One woman told me that after listening to the radio all across country, (while on vacation) that she knew she was home in Reno when she heard a commercial stopset on the radio that included: Tattoo shops, Payday Loans, and Strip Clubs.
I love Reno Nevada. In every city on earth there are all kinds of personalities, in every Atom, a Proton & Neutron. I don't judge people, for I have been judged all my life. I actually get to know someone, and then decide if I like them. However, I respect people for who & what they are.
I grew up in a fish bowl. I have been on the radio since I was 19. I have friends in high places & low, but remember perception is 90% reality. It doesn't matter if you have tattoos or are a horndog, what matters is who you are inside. I have heard all kinds of stories about me, and some are true. Try being a celebrity, see how long you last.
America is all about the Freedom. Freedom to make your own choices. Freedom to be who you want to be. It's you you have to live with. it's you you have to make happy.
If sitting on the couch and spending your days with Oprah makes you happy, so be it, but there are all kinds of awesome people out there, In Reno, holding that one dream in common. To find the one who makes them whole.
