Possible Singles PING?

It’s too bad people don’t heed this advice— especially people who insist upon a “type.” It drives me bonkers.

College Class of ‘89?...My God you are a pup! No wonder you are confused. You have a LONG way to go sonny....hang in there!

[Krankor]

Ha! This article reminds me of the Twilight Zone episode “It’s a Good Life”. It’s good she’s not your type. It’s good she didn’t kiss you. It’s good you had a big fight. It’s good you turned that guy into a Jack-in-the-box

...he recalls. “She was a vegetarian, and I ordered a rib-eye steak. An hour-long debate on animal rights ensued.”

An hour? I'd have her threatening to kill me in less than twenty minutes.

To me a type doesn’t mean looks, although that can come into play. To me a type is the whole package, looks personality, likes, dislikes. I would never date a vegan regardless of what this article says or a frickin liberal either. Nothing worse than a left wing woman lecturing you all the time.

I once developed a crush on a man who, I swear, looked exactly like the ‘spokes elf’ of the Keebler commercials. Sure I was taller and didn’t resemble an elf but there was just something about the man....*sigh*

Years ago I had a first date with a nice woman. Hit it off well. But she was looking for the GQ man. Now she has lost custody, etc. Go figure, I’ve had a job every day since then...

Yeah, but why did you have to MARRY Dennis Kucinich?!

Michelle and Zero are worse.

For a guy "type" is important, on a scale of 1-10 it's about a 15 for most guys. Some things we can't fake.

I would have changed my order to the veal medallions wrapped in bacon and some brown gravy to use as salad dressing. I'd be rid of her in less than 10 minutes

Yes, but that would be two left wing women wouldn't it
