On the subject of my extremely reasonable standards - Day 5

It's pretty easy for me to come up with a lengthy list of things that annoy me about other people. By the same token, it's easy to list 100 petty deal-beakers for girls I meet on the internet. In reality, most if not all of the deal-breakers have exceptions. A girl with an annoying voice or a bad laugh could still be awesome, in theory.

And really, it makes a lot more sense to fill a Craigslist ad with a list of things you don't want. I mean, why say you want someone attractive and funny? Doesn't that sort of go without saying? And more to the point, if you're going to either be surprised after the fact by the good things or the bad, wouldn't you prefer it be the good?

Just the same, I recognize that listing only the things I want to avoid makes it seem, first of all, like I think I have my pick of attractive single women and can turn them away on the basis of their questionable grammar or love of Nü Metal. Second, it implies that I don't like anything about dating... or, you know, humans. I actually do, or I wouldn't be posting, entertaining as it usually is.

So anyway. Ideally speaking, of course:

I'm looking for a girl who enjoys bourbon and classic rock. She probably enjoys cable television, TV on DVD. I like girls who read, I guess, even though I don't really read much myself. I usually date girls with glasses, though that's more of an observation than a requirement. I don't actually have any documented myopia fetish. I like girls whose hobbies tend to involve drinking, sitting or both. I like enthusiasm without intensity. If you haven't seen Die Hard, but would like to, that's a plus, too.

Hi. I'm Dan. I'm probably free on Friday.
