Dan: Ignoring your obvious facetiousness, placing ads is a bad idea - could you imagine the replies I might get!? I despise classifieds as much as I do Ebay.
Bonnie: Hold up -- didn't you just P&M
(that's piss and moan, FYI) about having to do background
checks anyway?
BTW, I wasn't being facetious. Or humorous. Your "job
description"/advertisement was for the position of house boy,
no matter how sincere you claim to be. And lose the height
requirement. It's tacky. Not as tacky as an "endowment"
requirement, but tacky nonetheless.
Dan: Ok Bonnie, (tacky) I take your point, abrasive as it was -
You thought *that* was abrasive? Well, excuse the fuck outta me. If I were posting TO THE WHOLE WORLD that I were looking for a "life partner," and then put down a bunch of frivolous requirements that would have fuck-all to do with the kind of person my potential victiiii.... oops, I meant "partner" is, I would fully expect someone to say, "Yo, Bonnie -- That was pretty fuckin' gauche. Lose the damned height/dick size/shoe size/language requirements. Give the poor schlub a shot, will ya?"
So, what if you meet a guy who is an absolute delight to be around, and really makes you feel special. Are you gonna say, "Hans, babe, you're great, but we don't have a future because you're a dwarf, despite being 5 foot 10. Toodles."
But hey -- Be as picky as you want on your search for a house boy.
Dan: still can you picture (eg) going into the best supermarket and permitted to chose say 30 items free of charge - catch is you'd have to be blindfolded. So what are the odds of getting what you want, who knows, but beginning to think this 'ask and you shall receive' business is pure hokum. And realistically, would you think no one but me in this entire group is non-selective? Hogwash! Gay (or them) it's in our genetic makeup.
Sweetie, I'm certainly NOT TELLING YOU to be less than selective. Perish the thought, Heaven forfend, etc. etc. ON THE OTHER HAND -- you may have typed "life partner," but what verily leapt from thy words was "house boy."
And from my "Been There, Done That" file -- it seems to me
that you're doing "The List" because you want to set yourself
up with an unreachable goal - finding the "Perfect Guy." Ain't
gonna happen, unless the local animal shelter just got a fresh
litter of 8 week old puppies. And then you'd still have to
housebreak him. And teach him how to walk on all fours with a
leash around his neck. Which, unsurprisingly, does sound like
several of my friends' relationships with their human
partners.
