    I remember seeing an ad once from someone once who listed 'watching my lawn grow' amongst his other (equally exciting) interests. :D

    I thought it was quite a funny ad :) and he's kind (well says he is) I like kind men.
    What do GSOH and WLTM mean?


    GSOH = good sense of humour
    WLTM = would like to meet

    On dating sites I sometimes used to see absolute gems of wit and intelligence on men's profiles . One that you posted here would be weak 4 out of 10 compared to those. Sometimes it literally made me.laugh out loud . It was helping in not losing will to live in the midst of usual "looking for a nice woman , like to stay in with DVD and like to go out " drivel .
    The word "dilemma" comes from Greek where "di" means two and "lemma" means premise. Refers usually to difficult choice between two undesirable options.
    Often people seem to use this word mistakenly where "quandary" would fit better.

    I think Robinette is right - I too as a single 60 something would be tempted to reply to someone with such a good sense of irony - at least I hope that's what it is!

    Funny ad, I note he does not say what he is looking for out of such a woman, (i.e. for relationship\companionship) so I can only assume he is merely looking for an Odd Job Lass :D.

    "Marleyboy you are a legend!"
    MarleyBoy "You are the Greatest"
    Marleyboy You Are A Legend!
    Marleyboy speaks sense
    marleyboy (total legend)
    Marleyboy - You are, indeed, a legend.
