SFist Helps Gavin Get a Date

Mayor_20Portrait_202_1_.jpgWe were driving to work the other day and heard an oh-so-familiar voice on Live 105's Morning Show. Sure enough, it was Gavin, making his way to yet another morning radio show. That dude sure does get around. After talking about all the boring stuff like issues and homelessness and his new Project Connect, the conversation finally got around to the juicy stuff and he was asked about life as a single guy. Apparently, from what he said, it's hard to out there to be a Mayor in the dating world. He even jokingly said he should put up a profile on Match.com. Of course, it sounds like he might have been fronting, but you know how it is when Gavin gets all earnest and puppy-dog'ish-- how can you not take what he's saying at face value?

This made us sad. After all, if a rich, good looking, Mayor often referred to as the Future of the Democratic Party can't get a date, what hope do we have? We're just bloggers. We've never gone against the Federal Government and let Gay people marry. So in spirit of Gavin's new Project Connect, we decided to volunteer the best way bloggers can, by blogging something. Or at least we've decided to help Gavin and write up his very own profile. This way, all he has to do is cut and paste et viola, he too can be blown off on internet dating sites just like the rest of us. And most importantly, we need our Mayor to be happy-- a happy Mayor is a good Mayor.

After the jump, Gavin's Match.com profile

Likes: Wine, good friends, protecting the environment, people who volunteer, moonlit strolls on the beach, riding public transit incognito, 70 % approval ratings.

I can't believe you still listen to old fashion radio.

 

hey - do you think he would marry me so I can get a green card? I'd promise to give up smoking.

 

I'm hot and I like care about homeless people.

 

I'm hot, too, but maybe a little too young for him. Do you think my (fairly) conservative Yiddishkeit would go over well with Papa Newsom?

 

You forgot to mention that footwashing is a turn-on.

 

Dear Gawd Almighty,

Don't you think the server problems could be Karma smacking you in the arse for your slightly(?) obsessive nature over the holey gelled one?
Seriously, one way or another the guy has got to come out of the closet or Rita needs to get in the closet with him....

Dating is hard enough and Match.com doesn't work. Probably The Gavin would have better luck on ABC's The Bachelor than Match.com

He can't get a date so, maybe he should volunteer with OneBrick.org where they have social gatherings that might help...someone?

Ugh!

 

color me color-blind, but isn't his hair light brown?
