"Everytime you see a gorgeous female by herself, just remember that somewhere, sometime, somehow, some guy didn't want her for some reason.."

... so she finally came to her senses and left that poor, crazy idiot and one day she'll meet a smart man who'll realize he's found a treasure.

(I know a couple of those stories.)

Sounds like someone found Mr. Right.

Good for you.

Nah, I have no respect for her after she did that nude shoot for Playboy.

Wall, first day in the office. Not much to do. No email yet. Havne't put my Brittney Spears poster up yet.

them there's green eyes. (Which all right-thinking, good-hearted Irish should have.)

Being down there in Texas as you are it's understandable that you wouldn't know this....but *real* Irish almost universally have (very) fair skin,freckles and red or strawberry blonde hair.I know because my family is as Irish as they come and with the exception of a couple of "black Irish" (with green eyes),we all fit the description I gave above.

But then,we're not usually thought of as right thinking or good hearted. ;-)

[agent_delta]

That should get an email or two headed your way.

How do fair skin, freckles, and red (or strawberry-blonde) hair exclude green eyes? :)

(I'm Irish. I am neither right-thinking nor good-hearted, but I do have green eyes.)

Well,Teddy Kennedy has blue eyes.....(sorry,couldn't help it)

But seriously...my experience with the very large contingent of Micks we have around Boston,blue eyes tend to go with the "standard" Irish and green tends to go with the "black" Irish.

I'll take a course in genetics and get back to you. ;-)

Could be.....

He's pretty sweet.

I'll go up to a guy and say, 'I think you are so beautiful,' but it doesn't work

I have the same problem

[wallcrawlr]

try not to get fired for sexual harrassment...give it a day or two

[Maximus of Texas]

It worked with when you did it me, you big gay boy.

[04-Bravo]

Now I want to watch her movie "Sirens" again.

I think most Texans of Irish decent are Black Irish and this one has blue/hazel eyes, much like my Brothers and Father.

[Fairview]

I don't take this too seriously either. Sure, a lot of guys will move on if they think they don't have a chance with someone because she's too beautiful, but there are always guys who think they're top notch stuff themselves and wouldn't hesitate to go after her if she's alone.

Good point. My sister was/is really lovely. When she was younger nice guys would be afraid to approach her. The only guys who would ask her out would be arrogant jerks who thought they were God's gift. Even when she got the nerve to approach some nice guy, often the nice guys would flee in terror. I saw it a million times--men would have no trouble approaching me and I was nowhere near as pretty. (Also helped that I'm not pushing six feet tall.) She eventually ended up marrying one of the arrogant jerks out of desperation and you can imagine how that turned out.

My guess, assuming there's any truth to this, is that she just has extremely high standards --- and at 40+ is finding that the men who meet them have mostly gotten snapped up by other women.

Or if she just has ordinary standards and expects a man to be kind, faithful, and employed, she may find that most of them have gotten snapped up.

Take me for instance. Lets say I found myself alone in an elevator with her. I would say Hi but I would not actually think I could date her.

wimp. for all yer "i'd hit it" remarks, you'd be afraid to actually TRY to? :P
