Go green to get the girl?

[borrett71]

Well, I am a female from uk and I laughed just now because it might be right. I used to want someone tall dark and handsome, and nowadays I'm only interested in men that are tall, green and handsome!

I went on a date a while ago and was offered a lift home in his car. It wasn't a hybrid so I said no (honest).

Good for you, and even better for the environment!
I haven't dated a guy with a car since I was 15. Cyclists are sexy.

My dream man would have a rickshaw and would take me home in that, to his carbon neutral eco house.

Oh, and he would have built the house alone, with his own bare hands, out of scrap metal and old bits of furniture.

.. and cook you a delicious low impact dinner just before the "poetry reading" (I just love Moulin Rouge..).
Have you visited Amsterdam? We have quite a lot of those rickshaws here.

well, I've been looking for a second hand one on-line today. I have 3 kids and will never get a car, but I'd like something to get them out and about on, and bring supplies home in without relying on expensive buses. I didn't find one.

I think they have not caught on yet in the uk, though pedicabs are getting more popular in London it seems.

The face of dating may have changed down the years, but the laws of attraction have not changed since the days of the Neanderthals, a new study says. Basically men go for looks, women for money.

I don't go for money. I go for minds. I think a good mind is a lot sexier in a man than what car he drives, or how big his house is. In fact, those kinds of things are a turn off, because they mean he might be shallow, or arrogant, or completely insufferable.

i took the apple of my eye to the heathrow camp AND there was a ceilidh! in yer face!
although, to be honest, the ceilidh did my sauvity more harm than good.
