Oh, BTW...off-topic...

Anyone here think the guy who started this post's avitar's head looks ALOT like the robot head in Duran Duran's 1983-4 song WILD BOYS video?



Um... I think that's Robert DeNiro in "Taxi Driver"?

Do I get a prize??

Personally, I'm wary of men who try to verbally CONVINCE me that they're nice guys. I won't discover a man is a nice guy until I've known him for a while and see how he acts in different situations. Something is amiss when someone you've never met is begging and cajoling a stranger to believe he's a "nice" guy. True nice guys just put themselves out there, and aren't embarrassed to ask for what they want. And they LISTEN.

I'm primarily looking for guys close to my own age (and experience) who share similar interests to mine. I'm often disappointed when men with wildly different interests than mine try to chat me up. I have no idea what to talk about! That's what I thought would be better about internet dating: zeroing in on people who share your interests. Although I'd also like to find someone who I think I'd share some physical chemistry with someday. I've had several not so passionate relationships with men who were "nice", but who were far more physically attracted to me than I was to them. Not going down that road again.

Just food for thought, although I thought the other posts were hilarious. :oD

lol, sure, but it's not as funny, albeit probably more practical.

OTB: Is that my prize??

See where I live? Weird, huh?

I agree with whoever was talking about "nice guys" who verbally try to convince you. Nothing is a bigger turn off to me. Just be yourself! Your niceness (or lack thereof) will be evident. No need to talk yourself up!

I declare this thread bumped. I must do so in order to prolong the thrill.

Oh, and I'm a douche. There, now we're back on topic!

Oh and Susychestnut does indeed win the prize. Whatever it may be.

smitten: Affected by something overwhelming; conscience smitten; awe struck, she was crazy about him. he was infatuated with her.

Does this mean I should stop using big words? :LOL:


I think there are more groups than the two mentioned. I can come up with at least 2 more can you?

It isn't that I needed a definition of the word "smitten", but rather that I was confused by the context in which it was used....

sheesh I need to be more careful who I pick fights with and you've already been smitten by another

Smite: (verb) 1 : to strike sharply or heavily especially with the hand or an implement held in the hand; 2 a : to kill or severely injure by smiting; b : to attack or afflict suddenly and injuriously (past participle--smitten)

It sorta makes sense in context with that particular definition.

Haha! This is too funny...great post!

I used to get so many men sending me "pecker pics" (not here, on another chat thing) that I started a "catalogue" and i was going to post it on my own website just to have some fun with it, you know...put down the criteria, mail order, credit card info...purchase your pecker today!Only 5.99!

But alas, I had a conscience that it would be inappropriate to do so and that it would invite more trouble than anything else, but damn it would have been funny as hell to see what kind of discussion it would have brought on.

I've deleted them since. Funny how you get tired of staring at a penis on a screen...it's one of those strange things. My recycle bin has seen many a strange and unusual thing I tell ya!

Edit:

Nice guys don't call attention to the fact that they are nice. They just act nice (whatever the hell that is) and they don't have any need for labelling themselves...it's a form of advertising that doesn't work...not sure when they'll get that, but hopefully soon because they are really screwing up their chances.

The man who says he is humble is the least humble of all LOL!

Well ya know, they hope they will get you all hot and bothered...then they fantasize that you are worshipping it and well...you know the drill.

Ticks aren't very well hung LOL!

Hey I have an idea for a great online game. Have two sections of the screen (upper and lower) slide at random and then a button, the lower section contains all the genitalia that you have set up and the upper section, random pictures, of facial shots you have...then play match the dick*head!

Hmm, I didn't even consider men who might send false pictures of their penii to women.

That would come under a whole different heading of loserability. The mind reels.

Plus, it's kind of creepy to think of someone surfing the net to find just the right penis to represent themselves. I mean, what's the criteria? Length, girth, interesting curvature?
It would be much too confusing for me.
