Pick-ay

We've been there, or some of us have.

I found the description of the desirable mate to be telling. I hope it gives you a hoot.

Yahoo: Are you being too picky?
Me: otherwise easygoing SF, 29, in desirable neighborhood near excellent schools and world-class cheese market. You: 31-36, Ivy League (except Penn), minimum 5’ 10", maximum 180 lbs., pectoral-to-waist ratio .33; fiscal conservative/social liberal; profession: law, medicine, banking (employer must have innovative paternity leave policy); hobbies: pan-Asian cooking, helping the needy, foot rubs; civil to (but not “friends” with) ex-girlfriends (maximum: 2); informed, witty, self-starter: equally comfortable chatting at state dinners and changing tires. Send introductory email along with photo, high school and college transcripts, 3 recommendations (1 academic, 1 professional, 1 non-threatening friend-girl) plus two 750-word essays on the topics: (1) “A Man of Quality is Not Threatened By A Woman For Equality” and (2) “Why I Always Share My Feelings.”

LOL!! She's 29 when nobody answers her absurd ad she'll start to realize yr. by yr. she's no longer prime breeding stock. Her ad @ 45 will read something like this: Me 45 S and desperate. Large 401K and pension, great job. You Male any race, any age, with or without job, just breathing will do. Call, e-mail, stop by, I'll come to where u are. HELP!!
