Wow aren't you all politically correct and so very kind to all say you would date one of these folks. I am going to tell the truth and say NO WAY!!! I don't date nerds, klutzes, and the uncool.

And yes the definition of coolness is up to me.

Now I drool for a dude with a ph.D. but he must be athletic, hip and not lisp. I would not be able to handle a "schlemiel" . My man must not drop a ball when I toss it to him. Ewww Just the thought of it irritates me.

The question then, for the fishpool, is:
Would you date a schlemiel


Sure, as long as he wasnt a schmeckle or a schmuck.
schlemiels can be quite entertaining

It would be just my luck to find a nice schmeckley schmuck in schlemazeled schlemiel 's clothing

(try saying that five times with out your lips falling off!!!)

This site needs some better quoting options (and contacting mods too):

One question here, and not to be rude ... just inquiring as to why you don't have a picture posted here when you require so much out of the opposite sex? I think they would like to see if you can pick up a ball, should it be tossed to you...

Just asking.

I had a photo up but was dating someone for a few months so took it down to decrease traffic. I am also not into advertising I am on a free dating site. I consider it personal.
I feel it is safer that way as I have been stalked by an obsessive ex who has made my life hell.

If someone likes my profile- which I created while suffering from sleep deprevation-they can ask for one and I will send it if I like them. That is in my headline. Did you neglect to read that?

Furthermore, in general coolness cannot be assessed in a photo-just poor clothing choices which can indicate nerdyness.

Coolness or non Schlemielness is about what is inside generally. I have plenty of nerdy friends and I love them but that was not the querry.

I answered honestly and it does not make me a bad person for desiring my equal. In fact it is pure science. It is what it is!

Or, if you are a woman -- be sure not to leave with the back of your skirt stuck in the waist band of your panty hose!

Unisex -- be sure the end of the roll of toilet paper is not stuck to any part of your body as you walk out the b/r door and across the room!

Follow these simple rules, and maybe no one will know for sure if you are a schlemiel -- gotta keep 'um guessing!

I am probably the clutziest (sp) person I know. If there is a crack in the sidewalk, ice on a step, or an upturned edge on a rug, I will find it! It's as if I have "accident" radar!!!!!! So who am I to discount a guy's possibilities if he is a clutz/bungler?!

Thanks for the fun thread, magickman!!

PS MS TUDE, By definition snowboarders are not Schlemiels. It takes to much balance.

This is what I call my "Dr. Stupid" mode...IMO it would be a common ground we might be able to laugh at and build on, just keep that spandex away from me!

Schlemiel is a Yiddish word for a dolt who is a habitual bungler.


I have two left hands sometimes.I forget where I've put things or what day of the week it is. When assembling a shelving unit, I wonder why I have 10 screws left over? Of course, when I do something really dumb, I can say "it's a blonde moment". Why do you think I dye my hair blonde?
I think dating a "fellow schlemiel" would have it's advantages. He could help me muddle through all the tricky day to day "OOPSIES".
What's not to love about that?

I am very much a 'Jerry Lewis' character. I quit fighting it long ago. I've not sustained any serious injuries.

You can have em ! I got a really cute successful one I am trying to get off my back now. Will mail him your profile.
But I did steal your smoking smiley. Even though smoking itself is not cool I liked the hat. Back to practicing my Karma Sutra positions-flexibility is key!

OP, how's about if you define "dolt" and "bungler" first? Definitions of words aren't helpful if the definitions are as unclear as the original word.

As long as she knows how to fumble 'round at the right time and in the right places, why not?
