> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by welby \* > **You got picked?** No. Thatā€™s my point. You start out with this tiny ray of hope that maybe, just maybe, _this_ time someone might actually want you. And then, as name after name is called, and youā€™re still just standing there waiting and waiting while that familiar sinking feeling settles into the pit of your stomach againā€¦ [sub]I hated fucking dodgeballā€¦\[/sub] Sorryā€¦what were we talking bout? šŸ˜› ---

Iā€™d pick **Crorex** because he seems like the type of guy Iā€™d get along with. Plus, Iā€™d always have an interesting time hearing about his day, and I would be more than willing to have a man cook for me. ---

Most of the Dublin Doper men\* are lovely and were I not married, I would find them all fanciable. \*Leaving out a detailed a list, as it could get me into trouble. [sub]I will take my payment in Brown Thomas gift vouchers, thank you.[/sub] ---

Iā€™d marry Scylla or Welby in a heartbeat, were I attracted to persons of my own gender. You both make me laugh, and thatā€™s better than sex, where I make _other_ people laugh. But, seeing as Iā€™m not gay, nor do I believe they are, I think Iā€™m going to have to stand in line for Vanilla, solely for her wit and her name. But alas, this is a tough choiceā€¦ Iā€™m attracted to brains and wit, which means I love most of the Doper ladies so very, very much. Not that Iā€™m that much of a Ladiesā€™ Man, in any caseā€¦ "I gots my Courvoisierā€¦ " ---

I havenā€™t been following this thread, so I donā€™t know whatā€™s been said about them to date, but off the top of my head Iā€™d pick (in no particular order): **Washte** - well, Iā€™d be a cad not to, wouldnā€™t I? Besides, we have similar tastes in food. **Eve** - because sheā€™s so classy. **FairyChatMom** - I like her sense of humor, and sheā€™s handy around the house. **jinwicked** - something about her just strikes my fancy. **cjhoworth** , **jarbabyj** and **Kn(\*)ckers** - just because. šŸ†’ ---
