80's + dating

There were a lot of terrible things about the 80s. And when I say terrible, I mean terribly wonderful.

Mullets. Rolled sleeves. LA Gear. Neon. Jean on jean. Reebok. Aqua net. Overall cheesiness.

So, I have a guilty confession. Dun, dun, dun...I love listening to people talk about dating. Well, specifically, listening to people talk about "what they are looking for". I know that sounds strange, but I don't really know how else to put it. The 80s/90s were full of great matchmaker material - like, Love Connection and Change of Heart. And they were good and all but the all time best was STUDS. My friends would be watching Who's the Boss and The Cosby Show and there I was watching Studs! Yes, I was always a little nut night owl. My friend, Christian and I even used to read the 'Missed Connection' section of Craigslist like it was the New York Times. There is just something I find relaxing, kind of comforting, wistful, and downright comedic with what people write. It's like housebound people watching.

Thanks to my friend Lynnette - We've got a real gem (I think I use that word in almost every post) below.
