Thus, a woman like that dating a soldier just back from Iraq is about as likely as me dating a metrosexual, vegetarian wimp who won't get a job because he's too busy writing "poetry."

I agree with most of that but come on...don't perpetuate the myth of poetry not being worthwhile or valueable. John Milton was a bigger man then most today are.

Oh, I wasn't trashing poets and poetry, just the fey wimps who think they're too good to work and behave like decent humans just they're *poets*. You know, the wimpy, effete, pretentious types. ;)
