Couch Potato Standards Version 1.0

Response I saw to a personal ad on Craigslist, scroll down for the original ad itself...

"No thanks to the crusty old hag who couldn't pick a good man and keep him happy. No thanks to the clueless 51 year old leatherbag who thinks she deserves a Knight and a Gentleman even though she's a bitter old over-the-hill-and-into-the-valley Queen. No thanks to the women who followed their genitals in picking their first husband and can't see that the "nice guys" have started to figure out the game and aren't interested in you anymore for anything but sex, because you weren't willing to look beneath their surface the first time. No thanks to the mirror that broke to keep us all from seeing that we perceive what we project. No thanks to myself for wasting another second on this... And no thanks to the misogamists who will undoubtedly flag this, for enabling women like this to keep living in their fantasy land."

"No thanks to the guy who's wife was out of town and wanted a quickie, no thanks to the guy who wanted to try the "Big Love experiment", no thanks to the guys who sent cock shots, no thanks to the guys who got their knickers in a twist because I was able to accurately verbalize my wants and desires and my dealbreakers in my W4M post last week, no thanks to the guys who still live at home with their moms, no thanks to the guys who still live with their exes but insist "its over between us" no thanks to the guys between jobs, no thanks to the guys who want a pic first and aren't even artfull about asking for one, no thanks to the guys who demand a young skinny girlfriend but don't see the baldheaded overweight loser who stares back at them from the mirror..Period. And for those of you just tuning in...Late post add...and hell no to the guy who just emailed me his wife wasn't out of town, he's just unhappily married...shut up and deal with it or divorce, if I wanted a loser who cheats on his wife, I would have stayed married to my ex....like you'd be a catch... No married guys!!!None, no exceptions, nada, zilch, zero...did I mention I don't date married men? Well, I don't. My wants are simple. A SINGLE MAN, Conversation, outdoor activity, some common ground of hobbies that we might share...mine include most but not inclined to watch sports on tv, or things to do with cars (strictly point a to point b), couch potato lifestyle...everything else a possibility. Hoping for good character, no games, open and honest, willing to be real and try new things...Affectionate with eventual possibility of intimate relationship, self-sufficient, financially stable, and you need to like animals, specifically cats, I have one. Oh and the major requirement is sense of humor...the sexiest things about a man are humor, intelligence, and the spark that he makes me feel when our eyes meet... Me? Lots of good things in a good looking package...I just know there are great guys around Austin...looking for a knight, a prince, or a gentleman..."
