Paging Mr. Right...Mr. Right...

Don't misunderstand this, but I think Mr. Right ads are terribly ironic and thoroughly amusing.

Let me explain something: Ms. Right is married to Mr. Right, and they have cute little Right children.  They have a sense of humor, the Rights do.

Just a quick grab of some listings from Craigslist (with commentary in italicized parentheses):


  • "Were is MR right???" (He may be looking for Ms. Spell Right.)
  • "Pretty Lady Looking for Mr Right."  (At age 50, you might be gorgeous or beautiful, maybe even graceful and sexy, but "pretty"?)
  • "Mr right."  
  • "Looking for mr. right!"  
  • "Looking for Mr. Right not Right now!"  (No worries if you're not looking Right now, Mr. Right is preoccupied looking for Ms. Correct Grammar.)
  • "Looking for Mr. Right."  
  • "Mr Right, Where are you."  (Looking for Mrs. Right upstairs, that's where.)
  • "Looking for my Mr. Right...LTR."  (At least this woman implies that she's looking for someone who's right for her, and perhaps wrong for someone else.)
  • "BBW looking for mr right."  (OMG, why do people believe that being morbidly obese is beautiful?)
No one ever looks for Mr. Almost Right or Mr. Decent, because almost right just doesn't cut it.
