"I enjoy sateen shirts..."

Totally inappropriate work activities #37: Looking at Match.com

Okay, so a while ago I joined match.com cause I thought it would be funny. And believe me, it is. I have a folder on my hotmail account called "Match Duds." There is no "Match Superstars" folder. Though, not everyone is totally bad, most of the e-mails I've received just don't fit with me. Anyway. A few months ago, I took my profile off, but then I realized I missed getting the electronic attention - however infrequent it is. But I didn't want to run the risk of having to meet any of these guys, so this time I posted my profile in Portland.

I just got an e-mail today. They guy seemed very nice and normal, but then, in his profile under the "Favorites" category, he had actually written: "I enjoy sateen shirts, khaki pants and the gentle smell of a woman's perfume." Okay. Now, khaki pants, that's fine; cheesy remarks about gentle-smelling women, I can live with. Sateen shirts, not acceptable. Sateen = shiny shirt = something wrong in the head. Unless you are a)female, b)flamingly homosexual, or c)a well-built Latino Salsa dancer, you should NOT wear shiny shirts. Much less list that as number ONE of your favorite things. Good grief. I feel very strongly about this.

Back to my patients. They wear nice, sturdy cotton gowns. Not a shiny shirt among them. Wait! I take that back. One gentleman wears shiny, sateen pajamas. I wonder if that would send match-boy into fits of rapture?
