So, who wants me?

Petey, I know you do, my wannabe metrosexual.

The amount of pro bono education I have to do around here is simply unreal:
Most importantly, I am "metasexual".
Besides, we would never work out as an "odd couple".........like, what would I tell my Amish relatives/friends ??.....Like, I live with this guy, and he is "different", but I am not ? :rolleyes:

I'm allergic to cats.

I didn't know this was a requirement if you're the perfect catch... ;)

So, if MDJAK is the perfect male catch, who is the female version? How would the female version be?

If they could only clone me. (Wait, is that patting on my own back I hear?)

I'm such a perfect catch, if I do say so myself. I'm just average looking. (There have been pictures of me before here) I keep myself in shape and always have. I'm a gentleman. I'm married for 26 years and still open the car door for my wife. Every time.

I have great respect for women and their happiness and satisfaction is a major concern of mine. If they're not happy, neither am I.

I still make my wife breakfast in bed on the weekends and love doing it.

I've got a steady, high paying job, but plenty of time for my son and two daughters and three dogs. I'm allergic to cats.

Drawbacks? Other than the fact my hair has gone from dark brown to what some call gray. I've never been good at color management or white balance, as others swear it's going gray. Uh-uh, say I, blonde. That's what I see.

Oh yeah, I need glasses to read now.

And my wife has told me I'm starting to snore a bit.

So, who wants me?

Petey, I know you do, my wannabe metrosexual.

Mark, you haven't mentioned my biggest requirement in the "perfect male species". Do you do housework? Now that is sexy to me;) ;)

OMG, snort, snicker, guffaw!!

the perfect woman catch?.. I don't think there is one anymore. If you think about it the requirements of being an ideal woman turn on their ear every ten years.. for example in my aunt's age she was the perfect woman. Smart, honest, beautiful a wonderful wife mother stayed at home had dinner done by five etc.. Now, a woman's ability to also contribute to the family's income is a great asset. they also have to be self-aware, educated, feminine without being aggressive, beautiful able to change a car tire, and a diaper without an attitude about each. Understands the stock market and can make up a thanksgiving dinner.. strange how that works isn't it?..

that's sweet...

It's cold enough out here that one of the chef's left some outside vents on in the fine dining kitchen.. a half inch piping behind the ice machine froze and snapped off flooding the whole kitchen.. I guess -20 something cold for eight hours will do that... I don't think I understood how cold cold was going to be...

And, here I was complaining about the Northeast US Winters! We're supposed to get snow on Monday, but right now it's 59 degrees out! :)
