The Real Reason I Blog

Drew Tatusko asked earlier: “Do We Blog For Fame?”  Truth be told, my name already turned up some decent Google hits before I started blogging, but I don’t blog for fame.  And although I jested in Drew’s comments that I’m in it for the free books, that’s not the real reason either.  I blogged for quite some time before publishers were ever kind enough to grace me with books. 

No, the real reason I blog, as should be obvious, is for the women.  Yes, blogging is extremely attractive to those of the opposite sex.  I can’t tell you how many dates I’ve gotten because I am the administrator/author of Rightly Dividing the Word of Truth.  If you don’t believe me, then just ask me.  I’ll be honest in saying that it can be quite burdensome at times.  I mean, a lot of women hear that I blog and all of a sudden I look like husband material.  It’s gotten to the point where I have to beat them off with sticks [think "Shaun of the Dead"].  So in the past, if you’ve seen me trying to increase my Technorati ranking and things of the like, just know, that it was all for the ladies. 

But in light of my success in this area, I’m having to seriously reevaluate my motives.  I think this falls into the “be careful what you wish for” category.  Since I’ve become the Leon Phelps of the biblioblogosphere I’ve realized that it might be better for me to write some really deep stuff, and then maybe no one will read my blog, and the ladies will leave me alone.  What say you?

Oh, that’s just so wrong. And now you have provoked me. See the posting that’s either about to go up or is up by the time you read this titled ‘Blogger Fame: The Rest of the Story’

I can hardly wait. :-P

Mr. Noreally,

An active fantasy life is a bit much at your age.

I dunno. My wife kind of hates me blogging. She sometimes calls herself a blogging widow. Not good for the ladies here ;-)

Why make a post on this? It’s obvious by the number of ladies who daily leave comments on your blog that this all goes without saying…

Oh mine, another funny video!
Now I see why Nick writes 20 pots daily :)

By the way, What is love?

Nathan wins!

Hi, is this The Ladies’ Man? Are you enjoying your courvoisier? ;-)

My wife reads all my posts and has even participated in the conversation. Actually she’s one of the few people who can understand everything I write…

Chuck: Thems is the facts.

Drew: Well, I’m single. I would imagine that if I were married my wife wouldn’t like all the play that blogging got me either. ;)

Nathan: It should be, right? And don’t let the fact that relatively few women comment on blogs fool you, they read em’ plenty, and love guys who write em’ ;)

Celucien: Is not love not unlike the unlikely not it is unlikened to? :-P

Esteban: Nathan wins what exactly? I wasn’t offering any prizes, and if you were, I’m a bit upset that I wasn’t alerted to this earlier so I could compete. ;) Oh, and btw, I’ve enjoyed plenty of Hennesy in my day. ;)

Mike: Thank you for confirming that the ladies dig bloggers. ;)

Haven’t you heard?

It just might work, Nick. I did actually get engaged to a woman I met originally through a Bible-related e-mail list, the Dark Ages predecessor of biblioblogging. The bad news is that the engagement didn’t last, but it was promising for a time.

[...] I love to laugh and make people laugh. Blogging gives me the chance to flout my flapdoodle before a wider [...]

Nick, you’re heading down Peter’s path of perpetual singleness.

Not perpetual if I get the chance, David, but for someone Nick’s age the prospect of still being single in his 50’s might sound like perpetual.
