*snigger*

I wasn't sure whether to put this on dot_poly_snark, but it's not that unusual a situation, I suppose. I have a profile on polymatchmaker.com, which I've logged onto for the first time in several months (more to stop it expiring, than anything). Anyways, I had mail, which was interesting since I haven't posted on the forums for even more months. A couple of guys wrote. The first one sounded sane, but the second... oy.

Excerpts from my profile:
Seeking: A Female , FF Couple , Group , Friends , Not Looking

BIO:
... I'm pretty left-wing in my political beliefs, so if you have a problem with that, don't bother. I'm not a Hot Bi Babe, alas - I'm not particularly girlie, but I'm quite happy if you are!

LOOKING FOR:
I initially had M/F couple ticked in the "seeking" box above, but I'm getting fairly clueless messages from people asking me to go off and be a "wife" to a man and a woman, and that concept frankly makes my hair curl. As does being a "wife" to anyone. If you're a woman and you're with a man, I don't care. If you want me to be with you, I expect one-on-one time, with you, the woman. Since I tend to prefer more feminine women, I don't usually have the same tastes in general as my lovers (since to fancy me, you need to fancy butchish women). This means the possibility of my participating in a tightly-interlinked triad/quad/whatever is pretty slim.

(Later on I explicitly say I'm a DYKE, with DYKE on top)

And here's one of the messages I got:

( reproduced in its entirety because it can't be beaten )

Methinks someone has been reading too much Heinlein. And I do confess that I actually didn't mention the fact that I have never ever had any desire, ever, to have babies. So maybe I should tell this man, honestly, that unfortunately gumption isn't quite enough, nor the fact that I might have the fabulous opportunity to correspond with a polygamist from Florida, goddammit. Alas, this probably means I won't be having his babies either, but at least he won't have to shell out for a third wife.

I'm still trying to figure out his first para, though. Is he actually saying that being a dyke doesn't matter if I'm willing to breed? How nice of him!

ETA: My reply featured terms like "breeder", "baby factory", "harem" and "underwhelmed" - well, he's a man who appreciates honesty, after all.

Life in NZ

An ad for a new "adult-oriented" channel on Sky in NZ:

I counted more than 20 naughty references after a couple of goes - I had to look up the more women-hating references like Tony Danza and Sanchez... and a "rusty trombone" was a new one for me! But I have no idea what the lost watch is referring to - help please!
