I Hope You're The One

Marriage Proposal:
Looking for a hot guy? Don't bother. No gold-diggers either. To avoid mutual disappointment, PhDs need not reply. Women entrepreneurs need not reply (tradeswomen and peddlers excepted). Perfect men like Andy Lau and Tom Cruise won't be advertising on a blog, nor do i expect to find Zhang Ziyi or Shu Qi. Even if you were a goddess i couldn't handle you. I'm not expecting a cover girl to blow me away with your beauty. Just a sane healthy woman. Modern on the outside, traditional on the inside. Slightly demure would be ideal. Don't be too young. Don't be too complicated. Proficiency in folding laundry a plus — preferably pressed and folded like they just came off the store shelf.

Am i being too specific?

Let me introduce myself: I'm no longer young. Solidly middle-class. Drink, but don't smoke. Never studied much, i slacked and learned a few survival skills. Have traveled abroad frequently. Lived abroad for six years. I returned without accomplishment. Truly, I'm what they call a "Three Strikes Returnee" — No company. No stocks. No money. Morally, i'm about 50-50. I'm no angel, just too cowardly to do wrong. All in all , i'd classify myself as a constructive member of society.

If interested, please email.

I hope you're the one.
