Well I suppose we women aren't much different then many of the men who are looking in cyberspace. How sad. I miss the "pow-wow" and "mIRC" days when people didn't have digital cameras, webcams and scanners. My girlfriend has been happily married for ?? 6 years now to a man who she said that, had she seen his photo before she met him, she too would have closed communication. In fact, even once they met, she was trying to figure out how to get out of the situation. Well, his personality DID win her over. I wish men would give women the same chance. And speaking of which, I suppose I should change my photo because someone has mistaken me for a man too! Ultimate in judgemental. I should of posted a picture of my manicure instead. At any rate, no more whining. I'm smart, funny and better looking in person and I'm all of you are too. People who judge instantly by photos - well they've really missed out, haven't they?

Woodrow you're a phony with a pompous superiority complex. Women fall for all your crap though. Way to go.

Hi
Thanks for some good laughs on a serious matter, that is how to treat other people with the respect they deserve. It's a pitty that your writings aren't available as audio books so the people that really needs to hear this can enjoy your sayings .
/Regards

I usually won't follow another man's advice when it comes to women but Woodrow, you seem to be in the 1% who know something about women. Thank you very much for the pointers.

Thank you, Woody, I appreciate the effort you took attempting to educate your brethren. I do, however, believe it was lost on some folks tho. I have to Bow down to your sarcasm!


~~~~~~ Tricia bowing down ~~~~~~~~~~~~

I too have posted things attempting to show a woman's point of view. I think that in most cases, people just have NO IDEA that they are behaving in ayway that is unacceptable.
Keep up the good work. Do you have a BLOG somewhere? I would love to read it if u do.....

Woody: Both posts, part 1 and part 'Deux' of your "Online Dating Guide for Men" were a great hilarious read. Certainly, they show you as a talented humorous writer and, also, they may have won you some more fishes in this pond, lol.
Even more, the threads that followed were enlightening as to how some wannabe baits put in profiles may work for some, may not for some others.
Regarding your "Online Dating Guide for GALS", when I see profiles asking to be 'real', to me it isn't about being 'physical' as opposite to 'virtual' or 'cyber', as I take it was what you meant. It is more about deceived expectations, about gaining someone's trust by means of lies, which is a game some players play, either online or offline, perhaps due to a twisted and selfish understanding of what may be rewarding (or fun). Then, being 'real' would be not being into those games.
Cheers Woody !! Keep up the good posting.

Love, laughter, and happy fishing to all.

Freaking kick ass job you did. Waiting to see Part Treis (Pardon My French). People still need some pointers I believe. Maybe you can give me a few pointers on my own profile. Somehow I think I made a couple of those mistakes unintentionally and really can't even see them. To all and all a good

wow! a guy wrote that! good job! i couldnt have done it better. but i do need to add one tiny detail about pictures..... to all the hunters out there, most girls dont mind a guy who hunts but we really dont want to see that cute cuddly bambi we all love so much dead with blood dripping from his mouth while a really hot guy holds up his head. You see that really hot guy just got pushed into the back ground while our hearts broke for bambi. if that is the one picture you think you look the best in, then simply zoom in to your face. we will respond alot better, i promise.

Kudos to you dude! It's a well written well thought guide you all the men out there. It's so deep and provocative. I must read for every man hoping to be successful in the internet dating scene.

Online Dating Guide for Women: Partie Trois?
Posted: 12/26/2006 2:34:48 PM
Woody,

First of all let me applaud you on both parts of the Online Dating Guide. In short, it's all just common sense. It seems a lot of people (women included) seem to lack this little gene. I agree with everything you had to say and I do hope that all men follow these rules. It’s the ones who don’t that make the “intelligent” one’s look bad.

Now there is one request I have. Would it be possible that you could write an Online Dating Guide for women? I know it will not be as lengthy as the Online Dating Guide for Men but something that would set some guidelines that women could follow would be nice. Here are a few examples:[I]

1. Respond to all emails. This is just courtesy. Respond to all emails whether you are interested or not. If you’re not interested, just write a simple email saying that you’re not interested. Wouldn’t you like the same if you wrote a guy? Wouldn’t you want to know if he is interested or not?

2. Hispanic/Latino does not mean he is looking for a “Green Card.” (Ok. So this one applies to me but I have talked to several of my Hispanic friends and we’ve all gone through it. They see we’re Hispanic and automatically assume that all we want is a “Green Card.” To me, that’s an insult. I was born I the good ol’ U.S. of A. Washington DC to be exact. Can’t get any more American than that, can I?) So if you have doubts about being the guy you’re talking to being illegal, ask him!
[/I]

That’s about all I have for right now but you are more than welcome to add more to the list. Thanks for your time.

Prican

Parts one and deux were amazing. It was very well written, although I think reading that much off a computer screen has left me temporarily crosseyed. I can't agree more with your third comment in part deux. I have found that women are more likely to go out with a "nice guy" if he has confidence and direction. The definition breakdown between nice guys and door mats gave me a good laugh.

Woody, great job.

I have to applaud Woody for the content.

Having followed (actually it's all common sense really), I'm still single, still looking and going nowhere fast.

Is it me or the way I'm going about it but after 3 years and virtually no replies at all I begin to wonder. And that's not just on this site.

I, personally think, that you are a VERY RUDE AND ARROGANT, AND A BIGOT, AS WELL!!!!

I, ALSO, DOUBT if you will be able to find a suitable partner or even friend, with all that conceit that you carry around. It must get pretty heavy. WHAT AN ***hole YOU ARE!!!

A simple read. I wouldn't consider it a "Guide" to anything. You ramble along trying to be funny (or is it whitty you're going for) but you're just not quite making it.

It gets boorish and snippy. I'm thinking you use this forum as a way to show how smart and whitty you are!!

You must have lots to talk about with your shrink.
