....chatting to a friend and joking that after all these years of being single there must be someone out there for me???

Conversation then moved to larking about...and the fatal question "Is there such a thing as mail order husbands?"

Yes me dears there is indeed:
Take a look but mind your eyes, now!

'I am looking for someone who can hold my attention, keep up with me, and who knows how to dress a wound.'

other than that one, most of them want a woman with money. and the 17 yo adds:

'I like women between 18-45, but would consider older if we do not have to touch a lot.'

'I got booted off Match.com for cyber stalking but I'm better now.'

Joggler · 19/05/2009 10:29

HolyGuacamole · 19/05/2009 10:29

That can't be real surely?

warthog · 19/05/2009 10:29

real catch:

'Ladies, I have a lot of love to give. I will be starting a new life shortly and want you to be part of it. I am very romantic and in very good condition,.. but I won't be available for about 18 months, but I'm happy to write letters. I'm up for parole next month, so I'm hoping to be available sooner.'

Hans of Hannover Germany

"German sailor seeks mermaid".. During my long hours out at sea I often wonder if my soulmate is near or far. I have been successful at werk but not in love. Yes, I've had too much schnitzel but I have a sexy attitude and I'm not shy about my body.
