Quote of the Day: OK Cupid Profile

The first things people usually notice about me:

Most people seem to think I'm funny... but there was one woman who I was fixed up on a blind date with who found me decidedly unfunny and demanded that I live up to the expectations set by the person who fixed us up.
 
It was then I discovered that trying to establish your sense of humor by arguing is.... also not funny.
 

Ok, I liked the fact that this guy was willing to talk about a date that was an utter failure.  This guy is RIDICULOUSLY handsome, but that's offset by the fact that he's only 5'8."  (tell me, why is having a preference for tall men considered shallow?)
 
Also, he's not looking for cougie-love, dammit, otherwise I'd send him a message.

He's 43. What's this talk of cougie-love? And 5-8 isn't exactly dwarvish.

Don said...

Oh. He's only looking up to 35. Sheesh. That's a bit shallower than preferring height.

Plus, he likes Michael Buble, and talks about cookies like he has a vagina.

The more I think about it, the more I want my friends to write my profile for me. I think I will start the drinks circuit this week to do this.

He sounds kinda gay. Am I allowed to say that here?

Aileen said...

Gay away, Paula, gay away! I said he had ladyparts, didn't I?

And Don, 5-8 is short to me. My Dad was 6-3 and my *short* brother is something like 5-11. I'm imprinted to like 'em strapping.

And I'm 5-9 in heels, and no, I won't take them off.

We can't help liking what we like. I don't see what is so much more noble about requesting a witty guy than a tall guy or a woman who likes to camp and fish vs. a blonde with big tits. Why is one shallow and one not? Who decided this?

IMO the bad thing isn't wanting a particular physical feature that attracts you, but something that has nothing really to do with the person, such as a $100K car. If THAT is what attracts you, then the person is irrelevant. Or if a man is only looking for a woman to have his kids ... she could be anyone.

But then my ideas usually differ from the standard, what else is new? :)

I have to say, if he had a $100K car, or a million dollar apartment on CPW, he would suddenly look MUCH taller to me.

Mike Bloomberg looks like a fuckin' giant, and he's what? 5-4?

Dated a guy who was 5'5" (I'm 5'3") and it was kind of neat, the way I didn't have to reach to kiss him, and his tiny little hands fit so snugly in my own little hand.

He was prob'ly the only guy below the height of 5'10" who did NOT have one of those attitudes often stereotypically associated with short men that I had ever met.

Guess I don't have a height pref, but I do have a 'tude pref.
