Hey Ginger,

I was thinking of going out for take three? Four? 89? Whatever, take next on the man hunting front again over the weekend. You know, when I'm not actually hanging out with my boyfriend because it would be weird hunting for another man with him. (He'd probably come if I asked him to, he's stupid that way.) You up for another round of telling me I'm too bloody picky?

Smurfette,

Again? Nope, not surprised at all. I fear I am going to regret this, but okay, let's do it.

This time, though, a mole on his neck and his pinky finger being too long isn't going to cut it, got me, Bluebell?

Just because you don't have standards doesn't mean the rest of us don't. Some people find moles very off-putting, you know. That mole could seriously undermine my ability to get close to a mark and then it would be all your fault and you'd need to go into their head and violate their privacy on my behalf to dig out what I need to know just to make up for it. You wouldn't want that, would you?

Hey, you were the one who called it a mole, not me. It was a tiny little dot. Looked more like a freckle than anything.

Okay, so maybe his teeth were horrible once we saw him smile. Yikes. The glaring ones I definitely understand.

It's not that I don't have standards, it's that you have standards high enough to make the modeling industry do a double take. What happened to 'we don't want him too perfect?'

[x-copycat.livejournal.com]

I don't want him too perfect, but I do want him to appeal to the broadest demographic possible. And not just the female demographic. It's perfectly possible to be broad range attractive without being model pretty. (Plus, pretty men are less useful.) Garrison's a good example, actually. Or Bishop, but I can't risk racism from little old white ladies.

And after what feels like hundreds of times out trying we still haven't been able to find that "broad-range attractive" guy that meets your specifications yet.

I have no doubt he's out there but I think there's this image in your head that you aren't able to see past, perhaps. We might want to think about a new tactic or open up the possibilities a little.

Any ideas for new hunting grounds?

I was thinking of Central Park. It's big, it's warm out, people flock there. The problem is I don't really want to nab a local, but then again in a city this size I could probably get away with it for the most part.

If my specifications are too much for you I can always go alone or drag someone else along for the ride. Jean-Paul endured about 15 offices with me so I could find the one we've got for X-Factor. Also, the realtor thought we were married. He makes such a pretty Mr. Carlysle.

Whoa whoa whoa, didn't say I didn't want to go.

I went through six trips so far and I am going to see this through until the ruggedly handsome end.

So count me in.

Brilliant, then I'll see you on the Park side corner of 59th and Broadway tomorrow around 1.

Alright, see you then.
