Chances of finding my (future) Mrs on MSE?

Comments

  • I need a wife. To stop my husband moaning that I haven't done the hoovering/washing up/deloused the goldfish and sorted the socks into colour sequence as she could do that ;)

    All my socks are black so that's one job a future Mrs wouldn't have to worry about. ;)

    6' 1''
    average build
    not previously married
    no children
    quite good looking
    useless
    see, this is what puzzles me about lonely-hearts ads.. if someone's tall, good-looking and comes with 'no baggage', wouldn't you think the ladies would be queueing up.. (even despite the 'useless' bit:D)

    You'd think so, wouldn't you?

    Of course, you may have underestimated the level of my uselessness. :)

  • In what areas are you useless, useless git? Knitting and Scottish dancing are fine, but cooking...

    Nothing else seems to be working!

    Change your user name!
    Then: don't be a useless git! Especially the "git" thing!

    Sorted!:D

    I'd say your chances of meeting your future Mrs on MSE are better than zero as I met the furture Mr Hovel on here :D (although he does say that he will be known as Hovel Lord :rotfl:)

    You really have been away from a woman's influence, haven't you? Don't you realise that there are many, many different shades of "black"? And a black sock worn and washed twice in no way matches a black sock worn and washed ten times. Oh, no. You may not be able to spot the difference with your inferior male eyes, but get it wrong and you are constant source of veiled sniggers and embarrassed glances until you get it right.

    Come on people, it's not difficult: lose means to be unable to find, loose means not being fixed in place. So if you have a hole in your pocket you might lose your loose change.
