Personals Phraseology

It’s too bad this dude got flagged down by CL users but some his interpretations of personal ad phraseology is definitely worth a chuckle and maybe more (via Ang's Wierd Ideas). This strongly tempts me to do one of these lists from a woman's POV.


* Strong woman - Bitch with a severe case of self entitlement.
* Classy - Bitchy 45 year old real estate agent type.
* Seeking gentleman - Looking for rich guy who isn't interested in sex.
* World traveler - would love to go to Europe as long as you're buying.
* Intelligent - She isn't but thinks she is, and you'd better entertain her.
* Rubenesque - Fat
* Sarcastic - Bought into the whole Gen X irony thing and is really a miserable bore to hang out with.
* Make me laugh - You're expected to be highly entertaining right away.
* Sick of bar scene - She doesn't get hit on at bars due to one or more physical flaws.
* Friends first - Reformed slut
* Tired of games/jerks - I fucked and sucked my way through fifteen counties, but now I want a docile schmuck to pay my bills and not pester me for sex.
* Shapely - Fat
* BBW - Grossly, morbidly obese (Bring Burgers With)
* Must like kids - I want a putz who will break his ass paying for another man's cast off progeny.
* Loves the Outdoors - Closet Lesbo
* Snuggling and Warm Fires - No Sex
* Enjoys Traveling - You're paying, right?
* Fun Loving - Fucked 100 guys
* Meaningful Relationship - Slavery
* Nurturing - Smothering
* Sassy - Insufferable by the third date.
* Bubbly - All fuckin happy all the damn time to the point of annoying.
* No games! - I won't put up with your games, but I will gladly infuriate you with mine.
* Eccentric or quirky - Psycho...
* Grown up man - Sucker willing to marry and support my lazy fat ass.
* Financially Secure - You should own about 200,000 shares of MSFT.

CL lists are funny, even with the misogyny. I'm laughing at the fun loving interpretation. Can you imagine interpreting a shaadi.com ad like this?

You got to come up with a list from a woman's point of view. There were some gems in the best of CL last year on different categories of men.

Part Liberated Woman

An expat desi friend and I were discussing what it means to return to India when you have cobbled together a life in a foreign country no matter how flawed and imperfect. We have both spent over a decade outside India and have kids who were born abroad and have spent very little time back home. Returning "home" is something a lot of new immigrants like L and myself think about. We want very much for that to be an option because a full assimilation into our country of domicile is likely never going to happen. L has visited India more often than I have and has a much better pulse on what's going on there. For me the strongest drag force working against my desire to return home is my experience of life as a woman in India. I neither want to live that suffocatingly sheltered existence myself nor subject J to it. The freedom, independence and safety I have had in here in suburban America was not even something I knew I could expect to have in India. I never knew what it felt t

Cheese Making

I never fail to remind J that there is a time and place for everything. It is possibly the line she will remember me by when I am dead and gone given how frequently she hears it. Instead of having her breakfast she will break into a song and dance number from High School Musical well past eight on Monday morning. She will insist that I watch and applaud the performance instead of screaming at her to finish her milk and cereal. Her sense of occasion is seriously lacking but then so is mine. Consider for example, a person walks into the grocery store with the express purpose of buying detergent because they are fresh out of it and laundry is only half way done. However instead of heading straight for detergent, they wander over to the natural foods aisle and go berserk upon finding goat milk on sale for a dollar a gallon. They at once proceed to stock pile so they can turn it to huge quantities home-made feta cheese. That person would be me. It would not concern me in the least that I ha

Under Advisement

Recently a desi dude who is more acquaintance less friend called to check in on me. Those who have read this blog before might know that such calls tend to make me anxious. Depending on how far back we go, there are sets of FAQs that I brace myself to answer. The trick is to be sufficiently evasive without being downright offensive - a fine balancing act given the provocative nature of questions involved. I look at these calls as opportunities for building patience and tolerance both of which I seriously lack. Basically, they are very desirous of finding out how I am doing in my personal and professional life to be sure that they have me correctly categorized and filed for future reference. The major buckets appear to be loser, struggling, average, arrived, superstar and uncategorizable. My goal needless to say, is to be in the last bucket - the unknown, unquantifiable and therefore uninteresting entity. Their aim is to pull me into something more tangible. So anyways, the dude in ques
