Not quite like that, no...
Today, when I was getting a ride home from teaching aerobics (this was at a Mandarin school), the teacher asked me if I needed to find a girlfriend, and if I had one... I didn't really answer the question in full, and I just stated that I believe that the whole thing about love is related to fate, and that when the time is right, I'll find the right person. I completely didn't mention the sex of this person, but for the purposes of this discussion, it wasn't important.
Please, if I am having difficulty with women with usage of words like haggard, I wouldn't want to spend the rest of my life with one. Granted of course, they are very nice people, and I have lots of female friends, but still.

Geez, thanks for the sexist generalization. Not all females are English majors, and not all English majors are well-versed in the English vocabulary for that matter. If you'd told me that I'd looked haggard, I would've understood you perfectly. What you'd just written, however, did offend me a little.
My post was about the heterosexist and homophobic nature of the people who teach at the Mandarin school. They automatically assumed that I was heterosexual, and asked me if I wanted a girlfriend.
The second part was a little tongue in cheek, and I didn't really mean it seriously... I suppose I could have worded it better to say that I do not want to get married to a woman, because I am not heterosexual.
