Dateless wonders of the world unite!

We have nothing to lose but our chains!
:D

when I go out as my alter ego. The chains, the half-way unbuttoned shirt with the big collar... Really drives 'em wild!

:D good old Karl.

I'm still looking at that nice picture of Kucinich. He is cute.

:D

SAN FRANCISCO, California (Reuters) -- Are you chubby and looking for love?

A good destination might be Portland, Oregon, where, more than any other place in the United States, men and women state a preference for going out with someone who carries "a few extra pounds."

Miami, Florida, and San Diego, California, on the other hand, might best be avoided. People in those cities have an unusually strong preference for the svelte.

That, at least, is according to recent data from the online dating site Match.com, which can use its data base of 12 million members to come up with all sorts of random trivia on singles in different parts of the country.

....

Men and women with red hair, for instance, are most in demand in Austin, Texas, and least in demand in Miami, according to the Match.com data.

Men in Denver, Colorado, prefer women with long hair. Men in Miami and Houston, Texas, are most turned off by long hair. As for women's thoughts on men with long hair, it is considered hot in Denver, not in Chicago, Illinois.

San Francisco, meanwhile, has the curious distinction of being the scholarly city. When asked what level of education they considered suitable in a mate, more men and women in San Francisco than in any other city said they were seeking a PhD.

Doctorate degrees, by the way, are least in demand in Portland, Oregon, and Detroit, Michigan.

And if guys who are a little on the short side feel they are being short-changed, they might want to consider relocating to Texas, where women have responded in disproportionate numbers that they are willing to date men 5-feet-6-inches or shorter.

....

Perhaps more interesting, when asked about large age gaps between partners, Match.com found more men who said they were willing to date a woman 15 years older than women who were willing to go that much younger.

"Women may be underestimating their opportunity," said McDermott, who conceded there was also another possibility that women who responded to its surveys were simply being more realistic than men.

She also offered that men who were regular social drinkers were shunned most often by women in Detroit. Women who drink regularly may be out of luck in Miami. Divorced men and women have some of the best chances of getting a date -- at least an online date -- in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

I wonder why that is...I thought everything is supposed to be BIG in Texas.

:evilgrin:

Every time after the hop in the sack, they are always talking about the myth of skinny men.

Dunno, I guess when it's attached to ya all your life you see it as normal.

:shrug: What about skinny guys, I am a middleweight, never been skinny, was overweight briefly.

That only one body part is big.

:shrug:

At least you don't have to hear it and try to explain otherwise.

:eyes: I am 16.

You're *wink wink* 18 *nudge nudge* RIIIIGHT?

:D

I bet I could pass for 18 though.

Yeah, probably would....
