devohoneybee: (methos what?)

Mostly, they suck. I mean, not even remotely arousing (so to speak) any interest. Too conventional, too bland, lacking any sort of imaginative spark, or possessing some passion that is an automatic rule-out -- conservative politics, evangelical religion, or, as one potential listed as a non-negotiable requirement, "must play tennis."

Last week, however, two ads caught my eye. Both were men in a suitable age range, with some thoughtfulness to their descriptions, companionable politics, a welcome bent for asthetic and cultural pursuits, even a bit of humour and wit. One clearly focused on his interest in spirituality, which is fairly important for me in a match. He described his involvement in yoga, meditation, and prayer, highlighting his desire for a match with similar focus on inner meaning. He listed his age as 56. I'm 49. Good, good, looking good.... till we get to the end. He would like to meet a woman aged 25 to 36. Yeah, real spiritual.

The second had details that are no longer memorable but also sounded promising at the time. Again, until the end. He specified a match who is "blonde and at least 5'6" tall.

Okay............
