The new Mil Mascaras in Mexico City | *Snip* I now have a letters page! Bienvenidos a PaintJobForAGirlFriend.com A Whimsical Parody and Improvement of 10KForaWife.com Because I don't have the Love Theme to Titanic streaming in the background. Yep, I am offering to paint any car for $99.95 if you introduce me to a woman who becomes my girlfriend. Don't want your car painted by me? Can't blame you. Well, unlike that that guy at 10KforaWife.com, you have options here, buddy! Oh, yeah. Introduce me to my girlfriend, and you can choose your own prize from this list:

Doing This? Why Not the Regular Approach? My good friend and relationship coach, Sarah, thought that since I'm looking for a woman with very specific qualities in my "real life," and how the city I'm in is not the greatest for finding what I'm looking for, I ought to see how powerful the internet could be. There are lots of internet personal sites out there, but the amount of guys on them greatly outnumber the ladies. That's kind of interesting since single women outnumber single men. I guess the statistic I heard of "35% of men who get personal ads are married" has some merit to it. Even a pearl of a guy like me can get lost among all that swine! ;) Damn I'm modest! Anyway, she showed me 10KForAWife.com, and I thought it would be funsies to make this site. So I'm going to try and follow Rod's (I call him Rod, even though we've never met - I feel a kinship with him) web site as closely as possible in format - both layout and subject matter (not so much subject matter as layout). I also want to say that I'm writing my own code and making my own graphics here (I'm der ubergeek) - I'm not copying the code from his site or any of his graphics. Nitpicking that really serves no purpose: Around this part on Rod's page, he mentions that 50% of all marriages end in divorce. Man, I hate that statistic because I think it's wrong, and here's why. You get a bunch of people like Elizabeth Tayor who marry and divorce over and over again, you're going to throw off the average. Liz has been married something like 8 times. Put her in a room full of 15 other people who have never been divorced and count how many divorces they as a group now have. Thanks to Liz, it's eight - 8 out of 16 is... um... don't tell me... 50%. There's where that 50% statistic comes from. The divorce rate is actually closer to 25%. "Still, 25% is pretty high," I hear you cry. I don't know about that. You can't say that a high rate of divorce is necessarily bad, or at least all bad. One needs to look at the cause of the divorces. Yes, divorce is easier now. It's easier for people who are just tired of each other to get divorced, but it's also easier for people in abusive relationships to divorce as well. All divorces can't be bad. All right, I'm done with nitpicking, and I've filled up some more space! Yay, me! At this point, Rod goes off on some tangent that I can't really follow. He seems to be saying that because of technology racing ahead while during the same time, methods of meeting the right person have not changed, teenage crime has risen over the past 20 years. This is about the most twisted logic I've ever seen outside any gathering of more than four or five conservative republicans (little slam there). Anyway, I guess it's not important enough to obsess about it, but c'mon... YOU try and make sense out of it! I'm a little teacup short and stout/Here is my handle; here is my spout... |
