I have been thinking recently about maybe getting a new boyfriend at some point in the future.

As the only men I ever meet are wankers, I don't know why I crossed that out actually, yes, most of the men I meet are wankers, I have decided to start having a little look on Guardian Soulmates to get an idea of what is out there.

Basically, what is out there is men like:

"Crazy Creator
Intuitive, playful, spontaneous, celebratory, he makes things - sometimes for 'the world of culture' but many times for you, songs, poems, cards, perfumes, he will get the tube carriage to sing happy birthday to you, hold a gigantic airport placard with your name on or when you are ill he will dress as a doctor...he will jump without thinking!!!!."

This. This man talks about himself in the 3rd person and is a dickhead.

Can anyone find me someone who is NOT a pretentious arse please?

This is whyIamsingle brilliant.

Am genuinely puzzled as to hy tree-climbing would be considered someone's central good point. Unless you're 8 or course

I always want to post one of those brutally honest ads on there, I'm thinking of: "Sarcastic woman with all features in roughly right place seeks blue-eyed dark-haired non-fatty smartarse to cook for her."

ElephantsAndMiasmas · 06/05/2011 13:06

It would attract feeders but frankly I'm down with that.

"I would like someone funny, bright and gorgeous to accomodate this schedule as much as she can, with a view to falling in love, worshipping me in some way and letting me 'get her pregnant' so we can pass on our genetic inheritence, including but not limited to: looks, manners & philosophies to our children ( Ideally, four. Failing that, three and a puppy...although I would like to avoid an odd number of children if at all possible )."

"Odd" number of children = ten and three quarters.

Jackdaws love my big sphinx of quartz

Err, piss off Manatee. In the nicest possible way. I am not dating someone who looks like Satan and has a big quartz sphinx and boasts about it.

SarahStratton · 06/05/2011 13:18
