Searching for a gal to spend Valentine’s Day with? You’re in luck—we have more personals for you today! Today, we would like to introduce two lovely ladies—Aine and Alyssa. If either of them seem like the girl of your dreams, email us at tips@bwog.com and we’ll set you up on a romantic date you won’t soon forget (it may involve a 9:15 am screening of 50 Shades of Grey.)
Name, Year, School, Major: Aine, SEAS ’16, Earth and Environmental Engineering; Sociology Minor
Preference: Girl for guy
Hometown: Brewster, NY
Your nightmare date in seven words or fewer: The first question he asked: “Are you a WASP?”
What redeems you as a human being? The fact that nature exists and is beautiful without trying. And that wine can come out of a box.
Library room of choice: Butler 209, always
Beverage of choice: Coffee or wine
The components of your ideal Westside salad: A large bed of greens & cheese, cheese, cheese (I am lactose intolerant, however)
Where can you usually be found on a Saturday night? After 2 am, Koronets probably
Historical Hottie: JFK – my Irish-Catholic Grandma would be so proud
Name, Year, School, Major: Alyssa Menz, 2015, Columbia College, Sustainable Development
Preference: Gal for a Guy
Hometown: Binghamton, NY
Nightmare date in seven words: Egoist who hates dessert, laughter & adventure
What redeems you as a human being?: I’m a springboard diver, country music fan (does that redeem me or condemn me?), and Ron Swanson is my uncle
Library room of choice: Butler Reference Room – love the light and open space
Beverage of choice: Chocolate milk
The components of your ideal Westside salad: Kale, salmon, mixed nuts, apples, blackberries, celery, chickpeas, corn, goat cheese
Where can you usually be found on a Saturday night?: In season—either the pool or at home watching movies. Out of season—anywhere exploring NYC (dancing, concerts, museums)
Historical Hottie: Babe Didrikson Zaharias – true triple threat!
P.S. the shark in my pic could be you ;P

@gurl i think you misunderstood “what redeems you as a human being?”
@Anonymous Nah didn’t you know she created nature and boxed wine?
@TBH …she’s the heiress of the Franzia fortune and owns every tree not the Eastern Sea Board
@10 in. dick haver lactose intolerance is a deal breaker for me
@truth teller AINE IS AN IRISH QUEEN
@Anonymous I wouldn’t date any girl at Columbia and especially not at Barnard. You’d be in tabloids branded a rapist and her a hero faster than you can say “false accusation”
@Anonymous I am certain the C-B ladies weep for their loss.
@Anonymous aine rocks!
@Anonymous So you are a wasp, so why would you be offended by that? Should your date be in the dark as to who you are?
@Nuance! (It exists.) First off, no. Ethnic background no es importante.
Second, even if it was important, you don’t bring it up right off. “You’re not Irish, are you, Irish?” or ‘checking for traces of Bulgaria’ whatever. There’s such a thing as subtlety. I’d prefer to date someone with good health. I wouldn’t go checking their teeth.
@PS She’s _not_ a WASP, either, you illiterate. Irish-Catholic Grandma? Not an Anglo-Saxon Protestant, I’m thinking.
