Posted: 7/2/2005 5:12:23 PM | | aroara I liked your post but take extreme exception to your depiction of women as clingy and desperate. I broke up with two guys for being clingy and smothering. Please put the word some females or even most, that kind of blanket statement I think is just offensive to women. | |

Please let me clarify, because I, like you and most of the women here are exceptions to the stereotypical female. Everything I said in the "clingy" paragraph was meant as a gereralization.As I know Woody's rules when he told men not to talk about beer, cars and sports. It's a gerneralization.
In reality, I love to watch baseball, not necessarily talk about it. I also change my own oil and do simple work on my own car. I'm not one who is much for talking about typical female areas. I can dress trendy but conservatively, and I take care of my physical appearance, but I won't sit there for hours on end talking about it--most certainly not with a man.
If I offended anyone by stereotyping females, then I apologize from the bottom of my heart. | |

Posted: 7/2/2005 5:24:11 PM | aroara No apology necessary and sometimes I slip out a generalization that I don't really mean. I for one fight or go up against these generalizations that men use all the time. It's no biggie, I'm glad you clarified. I can't stand clingy men, so I know how the men feel about clingy women.
We are atypical females, hats off to us!! | |

Posted: 7/2/2005 7:19:28 PM | | Woody you may want to add to your next dating guide a bit on foreign languages. Lucky for me, I am semi-literate in Spanish. Not so lucky for the guy sending it to me, but nonetheless. :) | |

Woody you may want to add to your next dating guide...
Wow, that was lovely to read the various new posts and thanks folks...
Yup, there looks to be a definite need for the guide part deux...and I think perhaps even a shot at the guide for gals...
Themes for the part two seem to be coming along nicely... although I think special mention needs to be made to the idea of listing the various qualities that a guy thinks he has. I've seen ones where they're listing nearly 50 of the f*cking things, from 'kind' to 'have a certificate in the sheep shearing arts'...and you know, fellas, I'm pretty sure you can just put 'nice' and be done with it...I mean, I'm not saying you are or you aren't all those things, but technically, if you WERE all those things, you'd be on Oprah for chr!ssakes. Oh, and don't put 'sensitive' and 'sex' in your interests. Well, don't put 'sex' period (as mentioned before), but certainly don't put the two of 'em next to each other...it's like putting 'Animal lover' and 'pig roasts' in your interests, the two sound at least at first glance, as if they're mutually exclusive...
Anyway, thanks for the good words and remember, lads...no sending pictures of your schlong. | |

Posted: 7/3/2005 8:18:10 AM | | woodrow I bet your inbox is stuffed! I agree with Pandy you do have a gift for writing and humor and you're handsome to boot. I'm sure you'll have great success with the ladies, hope the guys don't get too jealous but may want to prepare for some "hate mail". hahaha Good job and thanks! | |

Posted: 7/3/2005 9:23:48 AM | | No hate mail from this direction. The rules were just flat out funny. Anyone who is upset about them is probably breaking some of them and, if that is the case, you have much bigger problems than Woody writing about it. | |

Posted: 7/3/2005 10:05:01 AM | Aw thanks Bucs, and bus and stone...
No hate mail received...actually, not much in the way of any mail regarding it, but hey, that's okay...Pandy and the hollies, but tis more about the message than the messenger, so that's not a problem...
Oh, and bus...love ya too, baby*, absolutely nothing wrong with that at all...
*Footnote: The use of the term 'baby', while not necessarily a good or bad thing directed at women, is a bit risky if there is not at least a reasonable familiarity with the woman in question. When a guy refers to another guy as 'baby', however, it's just fine...assuming of course they're both comfortable in their own sexuality and don't get all weirded** out.
** 'Weirded out' and blatant homophobia will be covered in the subsequent parts of the guide, hopefully. Needless to say, fellas, get over it. Here's the thing, many women have a gay friend who they talk to about every single aspect of their personal lives...you better just be okay with it if you're gonna want to make points. Oh, and for the record, he's not going to hit on you, you f*cking moron. If gay men wanted to get in the pants of every brain-dead, homophobic yahoo they met, they would go to more monster truck rallies. They're not. They don't. Deal. | |

Posted: 7/3/2005 10:23:58 AM | Also we as females in general tend to be clingy and sometimes desperate.
no, that would just be women with no self-esteem or independance.
I think Woody could actually delete number 1 and change the "he"s and "him"s and it would work perfectly for women as well. Oh but we would want to talk about clothes, shoes, jewelry and pedicures.
errrrrr.....no.
.....that's less a byproduct of being female than it is of being vapid and shallow.....traits that move between the sexes.
I would like to move on to 79 as his comments are fresh on my mind. First off the dancing green banana is a very interesting icon. But at the same time you have the wrong approach unless you happen to be in the red light district, or you are that much of a moron so as to think this might actually bring you into favor with a woman of substance.
79dude is one of the good guys....his comments, I feel sure, were made tongue-in-cheek.
Kindly refrain from using the word "moron" when referencing other posters specifically, or I'm going to have to go hunting for my moderator hat.....and I'm entirely too lazy for that right now.
Oh, and for the record, he's not going to hit on you, you f*cking moron. If gay men wanted to get in the pants of every brain-dead, homophobic yahoo they met, they would go to more monster truck rallies. They're not. They don't. Deal.
Thanks, Woody, I needed another laugh today 
Do note that Woody can get away with the eloquent use of the word "moron" because it is not directed at any one poster in particular.....it is directed at an entire group of people who wouldn't recognize themselves in his comment even if they DID work up the inclination to actually read and managed to find this thread.
BAck on topic:
If she shoots you down politely, don't take advantage of her manners by trying to keep your foot in the door with the "just be friends" thing. It makes you look desperate, she's never going to believe that you mean it sincerely, and if she wanted to be "just" friends, she'd have mentioned it in the rejection letter. If you need to reply at all (and trust me, it's just not necessary) a "thank you " or "good luck" will do quite nicely. | |

Posted: 7/3/2005 10:43:07 AM | | woodrow I had a male gay friend and we used to exchange um...tips and tricks on giving men pleasure. Whoa, I got some great pointers from him and he from me! So I would tell guys who's lady has a gay male friend, she may just be asking him how to better pleasure you, so relax about it. At least a gay male friend isn't gonna try to hit on you or sabotage your relationship. | |

well put on the fake pic issue. However, I've noticed it's definitely not only guys doing this. Same thing goes for the ladies. If you have a fake pic, we won't read your profile. If you don't have any pic at all, there is a slim chance we will read it. There are so many profiles that sorting by appearance really helps a lot. And believe me, I'm not just looking for an easy way out. I really do wish there were more good girls with good profiles to read.
Also, I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but most of the people who these rules are for probably don't read these posts. Remember, they are lazy and have few legitimate interests. I guess that makes my first paragraph a bit futile, but whatever, maybe I'm wrong and the people you are trying to reach are all actively reading these suggestions. | |

Posted: 7/3/2005 6:11:34 PM | | 79 I feel sorry for someone who can't recognize or appreciate when someone is joking around. That's a sign of someone who takes themselves too seriously and will probably die young and most likely alone. Humor and laughter has an extreme healing affect on our bodies and is the tonic that makes life bearable at times and more enjoyable. Laughter truly is the best medicine, I take it daily!! I thought your post was funny and got a good chuckle out of it. | |

Posted: 7/3/2005 7:12:25 PM | now that the rules have been posted, we want to know about the exception as there has never been a rule with no exception.
And woody, you may want to think about writing a book " Internet dating for the dummies " and make some money off it. you're giving all the secrets for free. maybe you don't need the money but in case, you change your mind, I'll be happy to introduce you to publishers for a small fee. | |

Posted: 7/3/2005 10:19:19 PM | | You're all great, this has been a most memorable 3rd of July. I laughed my fanny off, won't have to run all week. To think there are people 'alive' that are brain dead and need rules to follow in the dating arena, makes me personally ponder what their upbringing must have been like????????????? U Hew, a person learns what he/she is taught, some figure it out, but most live as they've been taught. Thus, pa waved the ol' flag pole openly and with great pride while ma was, well you git my drift,and the wee ones watched in facination and awe.....and then taught another generation........thanx again | |
