Another man turned off by the BLOG

As part of my 2003 New Year's resolution to go on a date, I have posted my "profile" on several websites and despite being a young fresh kitten of 36, the only men who find me intriguing are over 50. The first geriatric inquirer got a gently positioned "you're slightly over my age range" email. The next guy got the delete button. So the third I said hey you're old but whatever check out my website and email me I'm up for anything. This is his response after seeing Irishbelle's website/blog (and reading about the Egyptian):

"I took the liberty of looking at your website as you suggested. It is a very nice and impressive piece that you have put together. After looking at it, what I sense is that we are probably more different than I initially perceived. You seem a lot more action-oriented and 'outdoorsy' than I am. I tend to be quieter, more reflective, and perhaps have different interests. I'm sorry if I sent false signals. I did not intend to."

Readers--let me translate: I'M WAY TO OLD AND HAGGARD FOR YOU AND YOUR BLOG FRIENDS! I'm not sure what exactly on my web site translates into me being "outdoorsy", maybe it's the book reviews or the pictures of that crazy Barry Manilow concert, afterall ladies, we did hike up that very large hill from the beer stand to our seats. So listen up OLD MEN: the Irishbelle ain't interested in all you viagra popping fart walking coupon cutting bastards. Give me the number of your 20 old sons and stay out of my life.

Bar Bitches

Alicia is to shy to post so I am posting for her. She has turned me on to a new site of ladies who clearly should have a blog. They call themselves Bar Bitches, http://www.barbitches.com/. I have taken an excerpt from their "Glossary" It's funny, check it out.

Bitchtease: An unceasingly nice girl who claims she can be a bitch but never follows through, i.e., Renee Wagner.

BR: borderline retarded

Dodge: As in, get the hell out of it.

Double-booking: Making two different plans for the same time period. Don't do it.

Edgy: A veiled attempt at being slutty.

Expiration date: A built-in time limit for a relationship

"Get the train back on the tracks": Get back on topic

Merkin: See http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a3_232.html

Roommate Special: The ultimate in convenience.

Sexiled: Your roommate's getting some and you're sleeping on the couch.

STR1: Short Term Relationship

STR2: Sexual Transaction Required

TC: Tom Collins. The manna of all drinks.

To scale: When what a particularly small or particularly large boy is packing in his pants is to scale with the rest of his body. Sample usage: "He's only 5'6", but I assure you he's not to scale."

Visual violation: The unwelcome undressing of a girl by a boy with his eyes.

Whoa!: Only to be used in an emergency.
