I just got another reply on a dating site!

And this one is from someone who is only 5169 miles away in Lima, Peru! Guangzhou is 6571 miles away according to the intarweb. Lessee, my car has 14,200 miles in 6 years. That means I could make it to Lima in almost three years. I did end up chatting with her online. Thuy bet me that she’d be Chinese and Thuy was right! A bit stiff, but then again English is probably not her first language.

Speaking of Chinese women, the slightly goofy-seeming Chinese woman from the gym said she worked in a lab, and then yesterday she made the offhand comment, “I’m not THAT kind of doctor.” I finally asked her what she meant and she’s a postdoc in molecular biology. Or biochemistry. Or something. (Don’t ask me to describe it since I gave up on chemistry a while ago.) In a lab at OHSU where I used to be the lab slave back in the early 90’s! So, not so goofy, but a smarty pants! Too bad she’s not tall. She’s from Canada, I think.

What is it with me and foreign Chinese women lately?

Oh, and I saw an even taller woman at the gym today. By tall I mean taller than me, probably over 6′ 3″. Yow.

Contrary to popular belief, I talk to lots of women at the gym. I just don’t ask any of them out.

Oh, and I DID NOT VOID THE WARANTEE ON MY SISTER’S COMPUTER. I DENY THIS IS HER LAPTOP.

If it was my sister’s laptop, I’d resolder the power connector and make sure the cable from the power adapter was OK and reattach the plug.

  1. yeah you TALK to lots of women at the gym. uh huh. do you consider things like ‘hey don’t forget your ipod’ to be talking, is question #1.

    question #2 is why on earth you think talking to women at the gym is the place to be doing it. helloooooo i never look like more warmed over shit in my life than when i am at the gym with my face all purple and sweat dripping off my eyelids. i would avoid LIKE THE PLAGUE any boy who appeared to be flirting with me in that condition.

    and question #3 is helloooo big dorkus. you go on some dating site and you are wasting time replying to girls who live nowhere near you. it’s like you actually don’t want to be dating!!!

    i think you need to start reading cool books instead of prOn, hanging out in coffee shops and perhaps talking to girls who aren’t in workout clothes.

  2. So, I’m wondering what’s wrong with the slightly goofy-seeming molecular biologist? Are you not interested in her because she’s not tall enough? Or is she married/seeing someone?

  3. Don’t do it man.

    There are enough “cool-book-reading, hanging-out-in-coffee-shops-trying-to-meet-girls” kind of guys in Portland as it is.

    Anyone that can see past the ICK of sweaty workouts and still want to flirt gets high marks in my book.

    Go for the smart girl and spike your hair!

  4. I think Duff is planning on kicking your hinny. first let’s get real, you are not going to meet the woman of your dreams on one of those sites. Maybe you should do something with your hair. And I wouldn’t date some one your age who is living at home, Sorry but that is the palin and simple truth. And try working on what you are saying to the females in they gym. And don’t discount those of us who are shorter.

  5. so does that mean you like or don’t like chinese women?

    from a “not-from-lima, not-a-doctor, not-tall, not-not-goofy” chinese chick
