In your case it sounds like you ended up with someone who shares some of your Dad's best characteristics, not like you made it your mission to find a carbon copy of your Dad.

The problem is not that she's picky, the problem is that she is a shallow asshole

I have to admit, I've never really understood "straight edge" as an identity. Kinda seems similar to people who make a huge deal out of their own virginity.

Awesome hair for her seems to be a thinning and receding hairline, judging from the photos.

Yeah, exactly, if it was just "he's such a good husband and father" thing, okay. But the combination of "handsome" and "je ne said quoi charm" is kinda o__O

Sorry, no.

Yeah, having either of those as a personal preference (or even dealbreaker) is one thing, but there are certainly shitty ways of expressing it.

Contact me. I'm a dyke, but one of my male buds fits that long blonde haired and creative description perfectly. He is single and straight. He liked me, but... ehh... nope. Boyparts :/

I found the way she wrote it creepy. But any woman whose father is a good man is probably looking for a guy who has many qualities her father does. The difference to me is do you want a carbon copy of your dad or do you want a guy who probably is vaguely like your dad in the sense that they aren't douches and they…

Yeah, I was almost willing to admit that I shouldn't have rolled my eyes so hard initially and then I read that part.

Sorry but I think the "no baldies" shit some girls throw out is just as nauseating as the "no fatties" shit men do.

Definitely as creepy as this.

Ugh. Thank you. This article comes a bit too close to proliferating the whole "just wait and you'll find The One" bullshit.

I think the most "prepare to be single for a very long time" standard I've heard from a woman was "he needs to never drink, smoke (anything), or watch porn, and needs to not be religious at all".

Timely. I've just written snarky replies to two well-over-my-age-limit men who figured they should be the ones to let me know that after reading my profile they're sure I'll never find a man. And my reply was "that's fine - I'd rather be alone than settle for some entitled old guy who'll talk down to me at the same…

Ethan has awesome hair

"I discovered that when it comes to love, there aren't any real concessions to make. When you really love someone and they love you back, giving in or making a sacrifice isn't really giving in or making a sacrifice — it's just something you have to do, or a step you have to take to get something that's more important…

Am I the only one who found the degree of "how does he compare to Daddy" mildly creepy?

Something about saying "je ne sais quoi" in reference to your dad...

So my dream of a quiet, passionate, creative dude with long blonde hair isn't totally blown yet? Also, I can top re-dating: I wound up on an okcupid date with a guy in HS who lost his virginity to me when we were 15. Neither of us recognized the other, though, til he got on my facebook. THAT was weird.
