'Who Wants to Marry My Daughter'? Southbridge family holding auditions for possible suitors

If it's true that a woman has to kiss many frogs before she finds her prince, then Kimberly Devlin's lips must be turning green. Recent first dates -- they usually end there -- have asked her to pay the check, have lied about owning a car, or have fibbed about their line of work. The last man who asked her out, though nice enough, was a walking billboard for his tattoo parlor and wore more earrings than the 22-year-old Devlin could count.

None of my familys bars are drug cafes or houses of prostitution.

How do they differ ?

And to suggest such is offensive.

Don't ask. Don't tell.

You should be ashamed. Slinging slander on those you do not know must be a hobbie of yours.

You are the one bringing your family to the thread. Leave them home.

[Phantom Lord]

If you can not tell the difference between a neighborhood watering hole and a drug cafe and house of prostitution you have a very limited and blinded view of the world.

And I bring my family and myself into this because you have attacked our honor and I am here to defend it.

I don't comment on your familys asking "do you want frys with that" where they work.

Is this one of your business clients ?

I don't know about the girl being a loser magnet. I have a daughter who has had terrible luck with guys and she is beautiful, tall,thin and blonde, college educated, an elite athlete and a nice girl, but every guy that she goes out with turns out to either be a total head case or engaged. I mean she has gone out with a guy who turned out to have a gambling problem, about three who were already engaged to someone else and numerous other losers who always misrepresent themselves and what they are looking for.

[KantianBurke]

has she ever considered dating dorks, poor guys or fellas that aren't model material? Big part of one of the earlier marriage threads was one poster refused to "date down."

I think that is the problem on both sides, where someone wants the extra looks or earning power in a potential spouse.

What is a "drug cafe"??????

What does a bar have to do with a whore house and why are you comparing the two?

Just because you may not drink or go to bars doesnt mean that anyone who does (or owns one) is some kind of criminal or deviant.

[af_vet_1981]

Why does the alleged 4-year-old have (Gawd, I hope they're rub-on) tattoos?

She does not (yet) have a parent to teach her otherwise. Are you available ?

[Phantom Lord]

And i notice you have been unable to provide any specific answers to specific questions.

[Eva]

No, I know that is the problem, she's looking for the wrong kind of guy, but still.... I mean one guy turned out to be a con artist! Another dumped her for a fat Mexican girl because his mother thought he should stick to Hispainics.

What is a "drug cafe"??????

It is a watering hole where you can self medicate.

[Eva]

I know you're right, it like that old song, make an ugly woman your wife. Beautiful women are high maintainance.

But that doesn't explain the number of guys who were already engaged and still dated her, until she figured out what was going on.

What is important to her ?

[shaggy eel]

My opinion is that someone should not rely on two best friends and a professional relationship coach to choose a spouse. That is not a decision that would attract me to a potential mate.

I'm not saying you're wrong at all, but what do you get if you cross a donkey with an onion?

Most of the time you simply get an onion with long ears, but every once in a while you luck out and get a piece of ass that brings tears to your eyes.

[Bon mots]

Photographed in front of a trash dumpster??? Classy.

[dennisw]

the mother had that dry cackle laugh that long time smokers have........



Heh. You are sooooo cruel. And perceptive :)

[FeliciaCat]

Ok, so what your saying is that ALL BARS must be a place for ILLEGAL activities to take place??? Guess what if a person wants to "self-medicate" or have sex they dont need a bar to do it.......parks, bathrooms, houses, hotels, cars, church...I'm sure all those places would do just fine.

What is your beef with bars?

[Bob J]

A bit young to have those tattoos on her forearms, too.

They're not tattoos, they're cigar burns.
