Dating profile of a superior cynic:
I'm a muscular, tanned, tall and handsome. Even though I never work out, I have a naturally hard body. I made my money in the property business and I'm worth millions - many of them. By day I'm a helicopter-flying, speedboat-buying businessman. By night, I fight crime.
Not looking for a typical busy girl with a job she loves. Don't want to know about anybody who just got back from travelling the world and wants to do it Ozzie style. Not interested in pets, poetry or painting. Sports bore me.
I am not looking for a girl who likes to let her hair down. Not looking for someone to enjoy cosy nights in with a movie and a bottle of wine. I despise walks on the beach. I hate all music.
Not impressed by outgoing. Not attracted to easygoing. I can't stand chat. Oh and, no binge drinking types - you know it's not sexy in your profile pic to be swilling beer.
None of your game players. A guy can't be too careful these days. There's no such thing as "fun". "Non" to one night stands. I'm not that type of guy and if that's all you're interested in, well you can just move along right now, missy.
Sorry the club and bar scene is not working out for you but if you are not part of the solution, you're part of the problem. That's what I tell all my apprentices just before I shoot them.
I am romantic though, helplessly so. But for pity's sake, spelling matters! Real women know about apostrophes and where best to stick 'em.
I'm not looking for anybody. Don't bother to send a picture, I won't reply anyway.
FIRST DATE
Eh, you're not going to blag dinner out of me on a first date so GET REAL, toots.
