    Avoid guys who wear anything ironically.

    If he wears an "Ithaca is Gorges" T-shirt he better have fucking bought that shirt in Ithaca, because he genuinely likes Ithaca, a lot. Liking Ithaca better be his weird, quirky, adorable obsession. If he wears an "Ithaca is Gorges" T-shirt and has never been to Ithaca, he is a hipster turd who probably doesn't have a bank account.

    @Lysergic Asset: Actually the bar I go to has a deal where you can get four carlsbergs for 12 euros. So, what I do is do the four carlsbergs with a few shots until happy hour starts and then nail the pints.

    I usually end up spending about 30 euros and get decently drunk.

    Figure 12 euros for the the four carlsbers, another 9 euros for three happy our pints and then three or four zubrovka shots.

    "Avoid any guy who shaves more than 20% of his body surface area."

    Ok, you've gone over the line there.

    Some of us consider the "shaving" a dating ritual that usually leads to the marriage ritual.

    And in closing--generally speaking, avoid anyone who makes long, long, long lists about people other people should avoid sexually. If you have fucked your way through that many losers, then your taste in sexual partners is shit, and no number of knowingly "cynical" entries on your blog will convince me that you're other than an idiot.

    Although if you smashed John Carney and Melissa Lafsky's heads together, the empty clang would probably be redolent of Christmas bells and put you in a holiday mood.

    So.

    I expect it's not all time wasted.
