Now I've seen everything Part Two!

So anyone who reads this blog regularly knows that I have a wicked crush on Josh Bernstein, the host of Digging for the Truth on the Discovery Channel. So imagine my surprise when I was surfing the available men on Match.com and found out that his twin brother Andrew had posted a profile online.

Cool, I thought, and clicked on more to read what the other Mr. Bernstein was looking for. Imagine my surprise when I read his snarky profile. The gist of it was that he'd moved back to New York from LA, and he was looking for some one. His friends had suggested he try Match.com. Apparently he'd tried it a few years ago, and thought it was full of freaks. However, he'd been assured that things had changed.

What's he looking for in a woman? A non-drinker between the ages of 22 and 32, with either a graduate degree or who likes dogs. Oh, and if you're out of that age range, don't even bother him. What I'd like to know is which is more important; the graduate degree or the liking dogs? And why not go even further and ask for their IQ and cup size? The whole age range thing didn't bother me nearly as much as the requirement of a graduate degree. However, after that whole Mark Phillapousis show Age of Love where older woman are called cougars, and he practically freaks out when they show up and then has the nerve to be amazed that they look good, my hackles were raised.

So the cheeky cougar that I am; I emailed him to say that it's too bad that he's not interested in older women because we can be just as much fun as our younger counterparts. I also told him that I wished him well in his search, since he seemed like an interesting guy. I'm pretty sure he won't respond since after all I'm a full decade older than what he's looking for.

I did find it interesting that his brother also has quite clear requirements for the woman of his dreams. According to an article in the NY Times, he's looking for a six foot tall blonde who's not only Jewish but who likes to go hiking, and camping and all that other outdoorsy stuff.

Good luck with that!
