A Girls Pocket Guide to Trouser Trout

Albuquerque, NM, June 8, 2011 — The Twitter shenanigans of Rep. Anthony Weiner mark him as an “Eel,” a slippery fellow with questionable morals, according to Gail Rubin, author of A Girl’s Pocket Guide to Trouser Trout: Reflections on Dating and Fly-Fishing.

“Eels slither out of their commitments, philander on their wives, lie shamelessly, and usually get away with it,” said Rubin. “They’ll gloss over your concerns with smooth talk, but their actions reveal their true selves.”

According to Rubin, the Trouser Trout is a keeper, while men who make women’s lives miserable are Other Fish in the Sea to be tossed back as soon as possible.

“Representative Weiner is no Trouser Trout, but it’s up to his constituents to decide if they want to toss him out of Congress,” said Rubin.

Other Fish in the Sea include:

Carp (constant complainers)
Clams (inaccessible men)
Clown Fish (colorful critics)
Crabs (unpleasant men)
Blowfish (egotistical farts)
Bottom Feeders (abusers)
Eels (slippery smoothies)
Flying Fish (manic maniacs)
Octopus (smothering invertebrates)
Piranhas and Lampreys (predators)
Sea Slugs (couch potatoes)
Trash Fish (generally unacceptable)
Urchins (helpless invertebrates)

Gail Rubin is a trouser trout angling expert with 30 years of experience. After a “catch-and-release” first marriage and 14 years of treading water in the dating pool, she landed her trophy trout and married her second husband in 2000. During her angling career, she dated many swell trouser trout as well as plenty of blowfish, crabs and urchins. She knows, from personal experience, what puts the “ick” in ichthyology.
