my favorite response is DEFINITELY "Well, I’d offer up my son as a potential match, as he fits many of the criteria:
1. No older than 25 at present (Check) 2. Conservative (jury’s still out on this one, but I’m teaching him right). 3. Would prefer to share musical taste, but C&W would be okay (My son, like his dad, has a wide variety of musical likes). 4. Religious, as long as her agnosticism isn’t a problem (he’s a Roman Catholic and doesn’t mind his father’s agnosticism or his mother’s atheism) 5. Must have a sense of humor and a keen sense of the absurd (that’s my kid to a “T") 6. No tattoos (Check) 7. Non-smoker (Check) 8. no previous marriages, no kids (Check) (Check) 9. no criminal record (Check) 10. preferably pale-skinned White guys, with dark hair a plus (That’s him exactly. He got his mother’s Irish complexion and my Italian dark hair. In the interest of full disclosure he will most likely inherit my male pattern baldness, although he currently exhibits no signs)
The only areas he misses are thusly:
1. chubby but not obese, and not skinny (he is quite skinny, but one look at his dad should tell Wendy that it ain’t gonna last).
and
2. taller than 5’7” (Not yet. He is still growing).
There is one slight drawback: He’ll be five in February. He does have a preference for redheads, though…
I dunno, I have a feeling that any dads with military tradition would do so. After my dad decided we were too old to be spanked, he'd make us do pushups or run laps.
