That 20 year old photo trick is often used on those
internet dating sites like Match.com and eHarmony. Some hot
honey in photos turns out to be a 250 pound former all-pro tackle for the Kansas
City Chiefs with a psycho ex-husband and 4 kids in the penal
system when you agree to meet over coffee.
I suppose it is all subjective,
eh ?
**************************************
Hmmmm, a female, former all-pro tackle...or
he /she is now a female formerly male
all-pro tackle... WOW ! I know if
I were single I wouldn't be using the dating sites
***************************************
Well, as long as we are
discussing systems of judging and interpretations thereof
....
These dating websites issue a
standard form that all "members" must fill out, to describe themselves. I
think they call it a "member profile". (and you thought "profiling" was illegal
!)
Anyway, .... the website
has a list, not unlike the Old Car weekly, where a person checks
off WHICH body type they have, and like OCW, the list is
constricted and wildly up to "interpretation".
The choices given are:
1. Heavy
2. A little
overweight
3. Curvy
4. Athletic
5. Slender
I wasn't looking at the men, but
I supposed they have a similar set.
Since the age of about 15, my compadres and
I have compiled a list of body types to describe those females we wish to
describe, and of all the terms used by the websites, only "curvy" crosses over
to our list.
Where does one list
"linebacker/all-pro tackle" ..... the gal with no hips and shoulders the envy of
any football player ?
How about the gal with toothpick
legs and a round upper body ? The one that resembles an apple on a stick
?
In recent years, the anorexic
look has become popular amongst the younger ones. When they lose so much
body fat they look like a 9-year-old boy we just call them "skinny britches"
(without the "r").
And then there is the
inexplicable belly-roll thing that can hang down as far as to cover the knees
! The medical term for this is "apron". I could not find anything to
address this accurately amongst the given website choices.
And then you get a 20 year old
photo.
Hmmmmm ......
Does this sound anything like
the old car hobby ?
