Think about it. A good dater. Can’t you just see him now. He knows exactly when to fake being quirky and self-conscious, but even that is a contrived act.

(function(d, s, id) { if (d.getElementById(id)) return; var js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = ‘//cdn4.wibbitz.com/static.js’; d.getElementsByTagName(‘body’)[0].appendChild(js); }(document, ‘script’, ‘wibbitz-static-embed’)); This is something many women don’t want to admit, and understandably so, but here goes.
