Lolo Jones has a problem that I just can't understand. It's not that I don't empathize with what she is going through, it's just that I can't understand how a woman like that has a problem like this.
You see, Lolo Jones can't seem to find love. The world-class American hurdler has been on so many crummy dates that it is surprising that she is not more jaded than she is.
Sensing an opportunity to bring a hot female athlete to the masses with a great story, ESPN asked Jones if she would indulge them in some speed dating.
The lightning quick hurdler was game for the speed dating challenge. Two things happened that are of no surprise to me. One, she did not find true love.
This is hardly an earth-shattering revelation as speed dating has to be the worst ways to really get to know somebody.
Second, Lolo Jones handled the ordeal with a sense of humor, class and dignity. You can't expect any less from an Olympian that fell short of her gold medal dream, only to handle the stumble in the most dignified of manners.
The most telling portion of her exchange is when she identified the positives of speed dating. She stated the following.
They have to talk to me. I've talked to everyone from A-list celebrities to top athletes. Pros have courage, but they deal with the emotional roller coaster of their season; it's hard to deal with mine too.
There you go. The problem lies in the old adage that nobody wants to talk to a hot woman. While true, it should be amended to, nobody would dare hit on a hot woman who also happens to be a world class hurdler.
It has to be hard running around the world, never staying for long in one place. The life of a famous athlete is sadly a lonely one.
I am confident that a classy lady like Jones will not be lonely for long though.
