“Relationshopping”

In an AIM chat with we accidentally coined the term “relationshopping” with respect to my love life. This after we’d just finished patting ourselves on the back for wordsmithing another qgpa letter.

As a contraction of relationship shopping, it struck me as a beautiful term to describe the attitude that many users of online personals take: He’s too fat, she’s too blonde, he smokes, she doesn’t mention sandman and therefore clearly has inferior taste. Would his pretentions of literary sophistication go with my scruffy alternitude? Can I have her in vegetarian?

I encourage you to go forth and use this word. =)
