'“Maybe there are a lot of good guys out there who don’t listen to music or read more than a book a year. I guess I could figure out how to be okay with that.”'

I didn't think it was funny...

Sorry guys

ah well, humour cant appeal to everyone.
Its taking the piss.

I have had low standards since I started dating OH

Out of who, though?

The men for not being good enough?
The women for expecting too much?

(not being awkward. just don't get it)

I can't get past the fact she's 29 and worried about being left on the shelf. Really?!

I think that's what I got stuck on, Fairlylea

I think The Onion is a site that you either get or you dont. Because of its writing style -and often subject matter -it seems like a real tabloid and people think its serious.

Well I am not 29 and have never been on a dating site but I can see the humour ( and some truths) in this. I like it

its taking the piss out of the way people say to women 'Oh maybe you are too fussy" when they haven't met someone special. and the presuption you should lower your standards

but if you dont get it thats FINE!

One WomAn

Two WomEn

The Onion is American, and it's one of my favorites!!!

oh yes fair point
gets out rubber

( thought you would realise it was a typo!)

I enjoy the horoscopes on The Onion. Spookily accurate!

No, I don't believe in tyopos (left that one in for you)

GretchenWiener: gets out rubber

I believe that is something that you should do a few dates in ...

Oh yes, getting out a rubber is a standard that should never be dropped.

Ahh... So neither of my options then

I see...
