    It does depend somewhat on the thing.

    That is actually true. Cause you know what I've always hated? Post-modernism. I'd love to argue against the theory here, but I have seen post-modernism get a guy laid. Well, I say 'seen'...

    Slash!

    You're a bad man, Brown. Also,

    Bollocks to that. I was much better with the Jung. Quote that shit when you're high, and it's deep.

    Yeah, see, I'm calling 'actual sensitive pretending to be fake-sensitive to get laid'.

    a Firemans jacket on one occasion and where did I get that from? Ah haa...

    I was once confused to find a man's Perth police shirt in my brother's wardrobe. I still can't really fathom how that happened.

    Because both of them involve wheatgrass and Foucault, right?

    I think only one of them has the slightest chance of having read the Foucault.

    I think possibly my geek test might be applicable here. Work out what their passion is (or is supposed to be), and lead them to talk about it. If they become incredibly animated, and other people's eyes start glazing over, they're genuinely sensitive. (Not my eyes, I hasten to add. I find this very attractive.)

    Or Mr Littlewood is a very, very good actor.

    Also, along these lines, I sort of want to add The Giles. Distinguished, greying, glasses, sensitive, geeky, can wear a well-cut suit OR a cardigan. Repressed enough to suggest that... well, they're repressing something really interesting.

    Apparently, several million years of hominid evolution have already spoken on the subject of the ladiez preferred attributes in a bloke.

    Co-incidentally, I've just been having a long conversation with a friend about penis size. Especially re my assumptions that most 'people who shag men' have the same view as me that

    a) they're more or less proportional to body size, and

    b) they're pretty much all the same.

    Perhaps I simply haven't been discriminating enough.

    You would have to post this on the one day I'm wearing a stripy shirt, wouldn't you?

    We did try to work out why not all stripy shirts make for a Stripy Shirt, and why it's so easy to spot Stripy Shirts even when they're not wearing stripy shirts. But we were drunk.

    Ickyest guy I ever tangled with used to bathe in Jazz.

    Should I be able to work out who this is?

    By this you don't mean the "sweater over the shoulder" look that many hip-hop artists have been rockin recently?

    But that's ironic preppy, right? Right? Tell me that's ironic, don't make me cry.

    I'm with Fletcher on this one - there a basic flaw in your whole premise.

    Conflicting stereotypes. If men are always up for it, then women never are. So we're not going to pursue you without a little extra encouragement.

    What's amusing is the accuracy with which at least one of these descriptions fits at least one of Emma's exes.

    That is completely unfair. They didn't have Lynx back then.

    Hey, you missed "sensitive and understanding of women -- willing to listen but still totally up for it if that's what you like."

    And you know why? Cause I couldn't come up with an archetype for him. He was a bit more 'drinking organic wheatgrass and reading Foucault'.

    I...you've been reading my diary again, haven't you?

    I may have made some use of that evening we partially spent playing "spot the stripy shirt" outside Hooch.
