Dear all,
 
The other day I was casually browsing the 'men seeking women' section in  
the Stockport Times and an ad caught my attention. It read:
 
"Caring male, 44, 5' 11", stocky build, goatee beard, seeks similar female  
for good relationship".
 
---- What does 'similar' mean? Is she expected to have a goatee beard,  too?
