So, my exploits this week. Well....started off with me meeting this really boooring female who told me that she knows someone who got married through "shaadi.com". So me thought, well, why go far. Rediff's got it's own matchmaker service right here. So I searched for a few minutes and found around 80000 eligible females....*grin*. What's next, I decided, I'll put up my profile online. So there I was, creating a profile for me using the wizard. Filed up my name, age, sex blah blah blah etc etc....until I came to the section where I was s'posed to describe myself. Well, put in a few modest lines which went thus....
I'm 20, funloving, happy-go-lucky, and a real live wire when i'm with someone. I like adventure sports, nature and wildlife. I've been trekking, rock climbing etc etc. I would love to be with someone who's caring, affectionate and who shares my interests.
To my delight. I got a reply pretty soon. Though it wasn't quite what I expected....read on...
Dear Joe,
My name is Karen and I fell in love with you the minute I read your profile. I share all your interests and more. I'm the most affectionate girl you'll ever find and I dont mind hugging and kissing you in public. And all the kids around me think I'm the funniest creature they've ever seen. Blah blah blah....
Boy o boy, was I in seventh heaven again (I must stop that though, it's happening every time I see a girl). Until I read the last lines of the letter
....I hope you like hairy females who love bananas and swinging on trees
Love Karen
Needless to say, I deleted the profile....and Karen, I don't like bananas.
