Hot ProspectThis man from Hot Or Not has indicated that he wants to meet me. And people say I'm only single because I'm too picky. Sheesh.
To meet his Mum and Dad, of course. Hell, why don't I bring all three of them to the next Toronto MeFi meetup. Imagine the photos and the comments in MeTa.
Actually it'll just be mom. You'll have to make allowances, 'cos she's fresh out the clinic. Pops is currently in the pen for the mail fraud. Pretty impressive, considering he can't read or write.
Even if the results are not ego-swelling (I think Hugh has done that quite nicely, thank you), it will be entertaining at the least.
Did I mention things at work are a little slow?
There's a nod to you all in my introduction:
I like trees, gin, reading in my big cushy chair, cooking enchiladas, shooting pool, singing the blues, nature documentaries, my houseplants, comix, Nat Shermans, and bunnies.
I could probably come up with something better than that, but I just don't think it matters that much.
I was trying for a shot of Homer thinking, "Makin' bacon on the beach," you know, to go with the winks and nudges and enchiladas. But then I saw this garden of Eden one, and my search ended.
hot or not, match, all of them frighten me. i have browsed but i can't see myself putting my profile/picture up there. i expect mostly weirdos to reply and even if there are a few good ones thrown in, it has always made me uncomfortable finding an excuse not to talk to/go out with some person. i guess i could just act nuts when someone uninteresting contacted me.
Whoa, 40 people have rated me so far already! I'm a 7.1. Not too shabby. I mean, I figure if someone doesn't think I'm perfect in every way, they have a phobia of shaved heads. Right?
when the site was brand-spanking-new, i submitted a picture of my cat's anus as my photo. i think it was hot or not, at least. one of those sites. it was rated a 9. soon after that they began moderating.
i rated you top hot.
compared to the weirdness i get sent (for reasons i'm unclear on from places i don't go to emails i rarely check) he's manwhich (as in more than a meal or "whichwhathuh?")
we should make trading cards:
"i'll trade you to erect penises freom norway for the guy wearing nature's butt warmer"
Orange Swan, I'm lost on the cat anus reference, but I personally like your pic and as for the guy whose pic you originally posted: a guy can dream, can't he?
Speck, WHOA, that guy most definitely 'dorable - good luck! I was on the phone with my favorite ex-boyfriend the other day, who still lives up the (albeit in B'ton) and it was all I could do not to tell him that there was this super groovy chick he should meet. He's wicked smart, a great painter, getting a degree in cognitive behavioral therapy to become a family counselor and has the wackiest little boy on the planet. If you two are still single when I come up again, I want to get you two in the same room.
Fris! I'd way waaaay rather meet your guy than this guy. This guy looks gorgeous, but he misspelled "thoughtfull". Your guy, on the other hand, is studying cognitive behavioral therapy and, even better, was involved with you.
32, 33 maybe? He's a truly amazing person, there just wasn't quite enough of the right stuff for it to work romantically between us, but I really want to see him with someone good, ya know? And he's definitely happiest in a relationship than out of one.
*wheels turn in FG's head*
Ftr, it's been nearly six years since we've dated, so no weirdoness lurking in the shadows.
i notice that most of the females i have seen that were rated 8+ all look the same to some extent. saw one woman i would call stunning and she was rated a 6. i do not get it.
I'm told that women always get lower ratings than men, for some reason. I've talked to guys whom I thought were less attractive than me (I consider myself average) and they always seemed to have higher ratings.
