Prius Dating Service

daniel · 12-28-2005, 08:43 AM

Guess I missed this thread during the time I was away from PC. In another thread I said I'd probably not be attracted to a woman who wanted a Hummer. But I suppose if she was pretty enough...

I've asked women out after meeting them at the gym, only to find they were married, but never wore their ring during exercise. I ALWAYS look for a ring. last woman who turned me down was one I met in church. (UU church: athiests fit right in!) She had actually opened the conversation. So, as casually as I could I invited her to lunch. Turned out she was lesbian. (We're a "welcoming congregation," meaning that GLBTs are welcome.) I've known GLBTs who wear a ring, but lots don't.

BTW, the third option in this poll makes no sense as an answer to the question! But i guess that's pretty normal for polls.

Back on topic, I'd buy a Prius for my girlfriend, if I had one. A serious one, that is... I would not give a car on the first date. But my Prius is definitely not a "chick magnet." Once a man approached my car at a supermarket and asked me about it. After a bit of conversation about envoronmentalism, I told him he sounded like a UU. Turned out he belongs to my church. I had not met him because I had only been here 2 or 3 weeks.

Danny, I'll be your serious GF if you buy me a black #8 Prius

Edited to add: I'm blond, have blue eyes and petite!

Edited again to add: I would need it by sundown!

Edited one again to ad: J/K I like being single and paying for my own stuff!

"J/K" means joking? Sigh! Well you may be joking, but I'm not.

galaxee · 12-30-2005, 12:29 AM

daniel, this is going to confuse the hell out of you, but this whole buying-a-girlfriend-a-prius thing makes me think you're too nice for most women.

women in general don't understand a nice man. and in the end they see it as an opportunity to walk all over someone. don't ask me to explain, i'm not one of those, but i've seen it over and over.

Yeah, I couldn't be one of those girls who does that. That's why I told Dan I was just joking. I'm to nice to walk all over someone. Even if I got tempted to do that I couldn't because I'm not a good actress.

Sometimes I wish I could walk all over guys. I could maybe get one of them to buy me a Prius.

Guess I gotta work hard and get my own! (Glad I can at least do that!

)

Yeah J/K means joking. Sorry Daniel I though you were joking too.

Men are to much trouble for me. At 41 now and never being married I'm kinda spolied and set in my ways now. Not sure a guy could deal with me much less me deal with them. LOL

Not everyone has to eventually get married do they.

So where's the dating service? I'm resorting to Match.com but it's cheaper than buying women drinks at bars every night.
