Everything that's said in the first post is common sense. I don't see anything ground-breaking about it.

Insightful at times...but the overarching demeanor does no real favors for men in general...not even the troglodytes. I thought, sometimes, your writing comes off like a thinly disguised and oblique means of gaining favor among the ladies...but, I suppose, overall, it's a service to women as made evident by the positive response. It'd be great, however, if that was done without "twisting the knife", so to speak...perhaps with a little more fraternal tone than something between Michael Moore and David Sedaris.

Here is another psychology lesson for you. Any guy who continually tries to make himself look better than others by using words like moron, idiot, etc. Has his own self esteem isssues usually related to his mother not loving him, having no father, and myriad others. So listen genius, save the relationship advice for people who need it and stop trying to pick up chicks with the its us against them ploy, it's overdone.

You remind me of a peacock spreading its tail as wide as it can hoping to get noticed by any passing female. But remember that tail is just a facade.

The truth is a judgment call in your mind on a particular opinion or item,
but only in this point in time, time changes everything.


....but I did like the line about.....and on the 7th day god rested.
Must be the immortals get tired?

As for the rest of your speech........yawn. It's all been said before.

Virus, You need to use your brains and learn how to use "spell check" and grammer. I for one think Woody is very "intellegent" !!! lol


Translation: “Why won’t –some girl – go out with me? Why is she going out with another guy that I’m SURE is a big, fat, poopy loser that I hate…”
Now, I know and you know, fellas, a lot of women go for the dangerous type…the ones with the ‘edge’ and yes, they’re a bit silly for doing so. But that’s for the women’s guide and we’ll discuss that with them a bit later…for now, you guys just have to realize first off…it’s reality. Some gals will do that. And secondly? They’re probably not in this case. They’re probably going for someone they think is just lovely, thank you, and the issue is more the fact it’s not you. Get over it. Because, truly, it doesn’t sound like you’re a nice guy when you post those things…it sounds like, well, you’re just bitter.


Women go for the dangerous type??? I'm glad you put "a lot of" because when we become mature, we usually stop acting like a teenager and thinking that the "bad boy" image is sooooo cool. This could also translate into why women become so frustrated about men only wanting the "barbie doll" type. Older, more "full-figured" women are just as loving and lovable as some little size 2. And the sad part of it is, the guys that specify "slim, slender, active, fit, etc" sure don't look like they are very active or fit. Must not have any mirrors in their homes. I know I am an armful, but I also have a lot to give the right man and am tired of being passed over due to my size.

its a funny read and some guys would get benifit from it but hey all this about english men being aregent i think you should just pat your self on the head for being so condesending, and aregent yourself. Seriously though some good points for the socialy obsine no need to be insulting.

...lol... I was in hurry... if you got the point then that is all that matters... lol.. your post isn't perfect either!... but lets not get picky.

btw... I never said woody wasn't intelligent. I just think his advice to men is not going to help them... of course you are entitled to your opinion.

Man that is ****ing hilarious and so painfully true. You should seriously consider writing a novel, a self help book...something....anything.

they may not owe us an explanation but it would help many of us out
by that i mean those of us that actually pay attention to and put to use any advice or criticism in which we may receive and try to change the way we do things and mean it sincerely

Unfortunately, the topics you discussed are all too real. In my line of work, they’re referred to as, “small d$icks, smaller intellect, and swelled heads”.
Is it any wonder the male human species is looked upon with disdain by their female counterparts!
I know I can never conscientiously do any of those 12 year-old actions and be taken seriously by any woman of any age.
I would look forward to a forum on how men should deal with the issues of subtleties and emotions as many men (myself included), are a subtle as a sledge hammer and as emotional as Spock from “Star Trek”.

well i dont know if you check these things anymore but just recently joined the pond/river or watever the hell you want to call it. Well al i have to say is before i was reading fantasy, now im reading books about womens minds and trying to tope the articulate article above, truth be told i will never be able to top that unless i had some kind of magical power to delve into the midns of women and men.
thought id drop you a line mr. woodrow anyway i like squirrels and my friends hit a boird with his car today.....god........my mind is running away again and i cant seem to atch it. well before i ramble some more write a book or at least start a website called, "Women and the weird things they say and think" well at least to taht extent.

A positively riveting read, very caustic in parts...Of course, I am sure that any of us giving our accolades are not the people you are targetting, but commiseration with a common state of affairs is another groundwork for online communicative agreement. Some of the points may have been a bit belaboured, but some people require repetition to really consider a point well. Some people require repetition to...Ok.

Sadly, as the turnover suggests, this text will not necessarily improve the conditions of online dating, and in particular, the attitude of some men who will engage in the abominable behaviours you describe. However, an amusing read! Kudos!

So much of this is common sense. I follow the obvious guidelines outlined in part 1 because, well, duh! I'll admit that I am a little bit cryptic about what I do for a living because I'm a bit weary about telling the online world what I do. I'm not a cop but I do similar work and not everyone is keen on that. I also don't really want people recognizing me at work and saying "aren't you on a dating site?" I do, however, have a good job, which means I don't live with my parents, I have a car and I can afford dinner out on occasion. I do have a shirtless picture or two but as luck would have it, I work out from time to time, eat well and get a bit of sun. Other than that, I would say I follow the guidelines. I make an effort to have something interesting to say. I actually read women's profiles and don't just look at their pictures and take a stab at it. I attempt to say something relevant to their profile when I contact them. I try to take rejection in a mature manner and I wish those who are not interested in me the best of luck in finding happiness. Funny thing though; I don't get a lot of responses. I've had both male and female friends evaluate my profile and pictures and they've all said the same thing when I tell them how many positive replies I get: "really!?" Does anyone have any constructive feedback for me?
