Oh really?

Like a bunny in the headlights I somehow found myself watching a piece (it ain't no story) on Today Tonight entitled "What Women Want".

Well, what a table-load of Sydney blondes* and a magazine survey say they want, at any rate.

While biceps, a convertible, honesty, integrity, chemistry and "a dislike of Aussie Rules" all seemed to be absolute necessities for these bleached chardy-swilling cafe leeches, I was disturbed to find that intelligence, personality and a sense of humour played no part at all in the search for a mate. Clearly I've been doing it all wrong.

(*) There was a token brunette at the table but she was very quiet.

I didn't watch it, however, I have read a well done piece of research that looked at variables vs relationship 'success' (longevity). Number one was shared sense of humour, number two was shared values and number three was shared goals.

You're one blonde I would trust.

that would be why you've been happily married since the early 90s, yah? Sounds like a good way of doing the wrong thing to me.

Yah, shocking, how clumsy of me.
