She comes to the front of the stage to deliver speech as monologue to the audience. Both girls and two men move chairs forward for Single Man/Cause I'm A Guy. Maria: I tried online dating once. His name was Larry. We had a lot in common, I guess. Larry had two cats, I love cats. I went to Mexico last summer, Larry loved enchiladas. “How about a few drinks?” he asked. "Sure". Turns out liquor and Larry weren't too well matched. By the time it was nine thirty, he was near-passed out on the sidewalk, pants round his ankles singing “Natural Woman”. And do you know how long it took to wash the vomit out of that blouse? Jesus Christ. Needless to say we didn't see each other again. I haven't touched a dating site since. Decent single men are a dying breed. What's a girl to do? SINGLE MAN DROUGHT - Juliette & StaceyWHY, CAUSE I'M A GUY - Ryan & Tyler Monologue after Why, Cause I’m A Guy - TylerPhillip is an arrogant, self-assured guy. British accent. He describes the date meticulously with absolute confidence.Phillip: It was the perfect date. Wine, candles, a gentle piano sonata playing in the air. She was petite with dark skin and this beautiful, long black hair. And her dress, how I love a pretty woman in a tight red dress. He mimes her body with his hands. Oh she wanted me, I could tell. I couldn't wait to see that sweet little red number on my bedroom floor, if ya know what I mean. So I made my first move. I leant over the table and I whispered: "I've always had a thing for Chinese girls". He shakes his head. She was from the Phillippenes. Oh shit.
