Some women would settle for a spellcheck and punctuation, good alpha males being so scarce now.

Any wimmens that have punctuation as thier top mate selection criteria,  be wired wrong

It would be nice if there was also a male Native American candidate.

Well, I'll ask him later what he thinks. As he is the man, I will defer to his more knowledgeable opinion. :P 

@Nature Boy 2.0, I asked just now and he said he didn't buy into the whole alpha male business, and that it's usually men and women who are insecure about the evolution of gender roles and gender conformity who put much stock in the concept. Then, he said, right, woman, enough faffing about. Get me a brandy and your ####### in bed.

I'm generally not that much of a nuisance -- the only thing that happens is that I start weeping at the thought of the following: babies, kittens, sunsets, a really delicious cup of coffee, my stepdaughter-to-be, a decent plate of nachos...

It is understandable to be moved to tears by the sight of tiny love letters made of corn and inked with cheese that you are about to mail to your stomach.

Once, when my ex and I were visiting Budapest, I had a violet crème brûlée that genuinely did make me cry it was so exquisitely beautiful, and it wasn't even my special time!

You’re very lucky. The only time food has made me cry was when I underestimated the heat of Culley’s Carolina Reaper ramen noodles.

Hard pass for me. I enjoy spicy foods but not at thermonuclear meltdown levels! 

 

But now I want ramen for lunch. Proper ramen though.

The husband just got back from BKK. We went for Thai and he sent the 5 star back as too weak. I need to get him back on. Meatballs and Herring with lefse with cream potatoes. He gets too excited with spicy food.
