Trust me, MOST I knew already lol But, it's always good to see those tips posted, for there are some people who feel they have to be a certain type of girl just to get a guy. Low self esteem doesn't get anyone anywhere.

I think it was a great post and was written with good intent. And, unless you're a female you can't assume that the OP wasn't correct.
There ARE a lot of players, there ARE some telltale signs...but, like all stereotypes or assumptions, it's not always the case. I think the behavior you described is spot on, but the guys can be the opposite of the physical/intellecutal type you depicted.
Here's an example. Just yesterday, within the first three minutes, literally, of speaking to a guy I'd never spoken to before, he asked me if I wore thigh-highs. Instead of smashing the phone down, I just asked him if he thought that question was cool to ask someone he didn't know. His answer? "Yeah, I know "thousands" of girls who wouldn't think there was anything wrong with that question."
The irony, OP, is this guy doesn't fit the stereotype. He's not a muscle-head, he's very eductated, a business professional, and an arrogant prick.
So, your post was great; your intention is appreciated, I think you're on the money in a lot of what you said...but unfortunately these "types" of guys are wrapped in all different poses...
And, for the women who don't think there's anything wrong with the question, or the guys who think that question's cool too...LOL...cool. If that's the "footing" (sorta pun intended) you want to start off on...then that's fine. To me, there's a difference between flirting with someone you don't know and asking questions that convey an entirely different vibe...

question for you, guy writes 3 or 4 times. then asks how I feel about long distance lover. then asks me to email at his isp email address. am I being overly suspicious or is this just how it's all done (new to site)?

Message: Also, if you profess a dark, inveterate desire to eat firstborns after an elaborate ritual, then it may be a no-go. Posting pics of you in the act, although interesting in some craven circles, may only worsen matters.
==========================================================


Wearing capes and going "koo koo ca do! I am the Walrus" is another hint. Anyone frothing from the mouth, too thirsty (meds do that) or has a metal Pirate claw (you don't know where that "hand" has been!) also might be unwanted men.

Let's not forget men with two p enises, men with excessive hair in ears, Men from Mars, Men escaped from Mars, Men who really belong on Venus, and the worst of the worst-men who speak better *gasp* than women! Oh the horror, the horror...

Ladies watch out for men who act like men and only date men who act like women...?

The OP is gone...
But the "warning" remains the same...

Hardly! This was a self serving troll post from a bitter POFer.

Evansp - I'm sorry but if a girl has two brain cells to rub together, she knows all your "tips" already, and also a bunch you havent' listed.

In all honesty - the fact you took the time to write an elaborate post dissing other guys on the site makes you look insecure and frankly very unattractive. . You don't raise yourself up by putting others down. Be yourself, and dont' worry about the other guys out there.
