One day, as I was checking my snail mail, my neighbor watched her boyfriend leave in a puff of motorcycle smoke.

She turned to me and said "All I want is Orange Arrows".

I asked. She said "I want to be able to go out any where ... and every where I look, the good men are identified with orange arrows floating above their heads. That would rock." She turned back to her house without another word.

You know ... I like the idea. Just think: go to a mall, walk around. Just think about the approach. "Hi, I see that you are a good man. What do you like to do in your spare time?"

What would be your system?

So I take it the boyfriend soon to become an ex? Glad to know that she is thinking ahead!

I'd say if women on EH are as brutally truthful as ehA here...that would move the elimination process much quicker and saves me a couple bucks from paying for my dates

I want the bad ones to wear a red tatoo on their forehead and a sign that says kick me on their back. ; )

The thing is...literally almost everyone thinks they're a 'good man' or 'good woman'....so I think your system needs to rely upon something other than self evaluation or input. Maybe people's profiles would have to be filled out by matches who have previously dated them. Now there's an interesting idea.

You see that was her idea for a system. But it got me thinking.

I like to ponder.

So, I would like the new

LLBean Catalog of Worthy Men

I could peruse the pages, find one I liked. Read the description, finding out about the composition, intended uses, and durability. I could log onto the website and get customer reviews. Ratings.

I would order him. You see, there is this promise of satisfaction guaranteed. Lifetime warranty. If I were not completely satisfied, I could return him.

But I don't want my money back. I WANT MY TIME BACK.

I'd like some sort of indication of sex drive and habits (when, what) tattooed on the forehead.
