Below is an excerpt from his rather lengthy profile:
...
I appreciate a good sense of humor, I really do.
I don't understand why the women out there in POF land aren't falling all over themselves trying to "catch" this "funny" guy.
Well, here is a quote from my original post:
Well, first and foremost, don't take this, or any other dating site, so seriously. Online dating, like horoscopes and psychics, should be used for entertainment value only, and not the basis of important life decisions.
My profile is an example of this attitude in motion. No, I don't take this site seriously, and as far as women falling all over themselves, I get magnitudes more first contacts and responses with my profile as it is now than I ever did when I had your standard 'nice guy looking for nice girl' profile. | |

Posted: 12/16/2007 4:51:39 PM | "You walk in, immediately head to the isle that has what you came in for, scan the shelves until you find what it is you wanted. "
That would be AISLE, not ISLE. Although I would rather be on an ISLE.
Women do look for men who can spell and use their words correctly.
Another comment to the men who are looking for women 20-30 years younger than they are - I can't imagine what my daughter, or her friends, would want with you. They have fathers. Do your children need friends? Do you need the flattery of arm candy? That would equate to me being with someone in their 80's, or 90's.

Posted: 12/16/2007 4:57:24 PM | Just go to Home Depot and watch a guy shopping. He goes in for 2x4s and that is the only item he looks at. Never mind all the 1x2s stacked there looking good. If it doesn't meet with his exact criteria, he passes it by. At least women go up and down the aisles hoping for a good buy that will catch their eye. We may go shopping for a pair of shoes and come out with a new purse - now that's versitility!

Posted: 12/16/2007 5:06:16 PM | | Yeah that's true. And I know that women change their mind a lot. My mother picked a new color for her wall and once my father finally finished painting it she decided that she didn't like it. So if the color isn't just right, the woman will look for something else. | |

Posted: 12/16/2007 5:10:46 PM | All you've proved by your post is how absymally little you know about online dating and women. My advice would be to read a few dozen or more threads that are a bit more spot on, may spare you being made fun of. I have to say those that did... well let's just say I got a good giggle out of it myself. 
Oh and just for the record, there's many women that don't appreciate being intruded on (approached) while going about their business, whether it's shopping or running any other errand. IMO it's just a sign that the person doing it is having to resort to hitting on any women they come across that isn't accompanied by a man. In other words, desperate. So that explains the rust, perhaps...what about the carbon?

Posted: 12/16/2007 5:21:45 PM | This might help also, it makes sense! Compare this to internet dating, to a woman it's like a Husband Store.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Husband Store
A store that sells husbands has just opened where a woman
may go to choose a husband from among many men. The
store is composed of 6 floors, and the men increase in positive
attributes as the shopper ascends the flights.
There is, however, a catch. As you open the door to any floor you may
choose a man from that floor, but if you go up a floor, you cannot go
back down except to exit the building.
So a woman goes to the shopping center to find a husband.
On the first floor the sign on the door reads:
Floor 1 - These men have jobs.
The woman reads the sign and says to herself, "Well, that's better
than my last boyfriend, but I wonder what's further up?"
So up she goes.
The second floor sign reads:
Floor 2 - These men have jobs and love kids.
The woman remarks to herself, "That's great, but I wonder what's
further up?" And up she goes again.
The third floor sign reads:
Floor 3 - These men have jobs, love kids and are extremely good
looking. "Hmm, better" she says. "But I wonder what's upstairs?"
The fourth floor sign reads:
Floor 4 - These men have jobs, love kids, are extremely good looking
and help with the housework. "Wow!" exclaims the woman, "very
tempting. BUT, there must be more further up!" And again she heads up
another flight.
The fifth floor sign reads:
Floor 5 - These men have jobs, love kids, are extremely good looking,
help with the housework and have a strong romantic streak. "Oh, mercy
me! But just think... what must be awaiting me further on?" So up to
the sixth floor she goes.
The sixth floor sign reads:
Floor 6 - You a re visitor 3,456,789,012 to this floor. There are no
men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are
impossible to please. Thank you for shopping at The Husband Store and
have a nice day. | |

Posted: 12/16/2007 5:53:30 PM | Hey guys:
Women don't like sitting home alone any more than we do . They don't sit home telling themselves , "I'm so glad I'm still alone! Yet another holidays with no one to create special memories with." We are picky as well. I know I am. I might have to put my store in a building with 20-30 floors. I don't think 6 would be high enough. She has to meet a lot of criteria as well. Our we all going to pretend we don't have certain things we need to be compatible. I don't know , it just seems like people go over this, over and over here without many constructive results. Just jokes and laughs. I guess that's better than nothing. | |

Posted: 12/16/2007 6:26:42 PM | Women, on the other hand, inspect the product in minute detail. They open the box or the package and look inside, checking for manufacturing defects and making sure what is advertised on the box is really what's inside. They don't want any surprises when they get it home. They also like to try it on, if applicable, to make sure it fits, looks good on them and matches their accessories.
Think about how you, as a man, use this site. Probably a lot like you shop, huh? You have a purpose, you know what you want. You walk in, immediately head to the isle that has what you came in for, scan the shelves until you find what it is you wanted. Maybe compare one or two similar items to find the one that meets your needs (and budget) better. You make your choice, put it in your cart, and head for the register.
So, now I know what my problem is.... I did the "female type" shopping, checked them out on the inside for defects, etc.... and returned them for "unsuitability".... I figure I have done my research, and am now ready to "lease with option to buy" as a previous poster so eloquently put it.
So, now that I know what I want, and am ready to do my "male style" shopping, there are none out there.... or they are all gone, bought up by smarter shoppers in the "early bird special."

I seldom disagree with you bucsgirl, but this just isn’t true. Eye contact, a smile and a simple hello will never go out of style. Most of the people I know can be traced back to someone I passed by chance at some point in time.
Life is going on outside - I just like to chat about it here. | |

I understand what you're saying. When I got out to run errands, I'm not unfriendly and do often chat up people while waiting in line, etc. Just that, a friendly chat to pass the time while waiting in line. Also had the abrupt "hitting on", that was intrusive. I doubt it happens as often to men. A friendly chat in a grocery line to wow, you're hot can I get your number...not the same. | |

Posted: 12/16/2007 6:57:28 PM | So do mine... Sheesh, and to feel like it is mutual, because I have written guys, no response... Spent hours getting ready for a date, made sure I was all spiffed for the photos I have taken... Thought out my whole sales pitch and for what? What has my pay off been... A few want the option to test drive, or test view well before they even get permission to warm up my engine.
Another batch like to see me as some backburner, gal, that is just sitting waiting for them to gain enough interest to either ask me out, or stop writing. Just when I think they are interested enough to get to know me, they sudden disappear like I never even existed.
So here I seat wondering about the odds around here... I think perhaps I am going to end up in a basement bargain store marked 75% off, and I am still in good working order...
What the heck give????? | |

All you've proved by your post is how abysmally little you know about me. I have no problem getting dates from this site, or in the real world and, I would wager that I know far more than you on what it is like for a guy to be online dating. I was not lamenting my own situation at all! My post was a pick me up addressed to my fellow men, who I felt needed a little smile after reading the dozens upon dozens of threads on how they get ignored and passed by on here.
Now. to everyone who made fun of me, I thank you. The purpose of my original post was to bring a smile to my male comrades. The fact that I was also able to bring a laugh to the skirts is a added bonus, even if it was at my expense. | |

Posted: 12/16/2007 7:15:34 PM | and like clothes, women judge men only by what they see
Simply put - Women ARE only interested in looks
I have NEVER recieved a response to any of my personals that did not ask or demand a picture !
Women could care less about anything else - just appearances
So damn shallow | |

Maybe it should be more like animal rescue. (man rescue) Imagine it. You walk through the lot of us and the one who licks your face and humps your leg goes home with you.
Hmm, I thought more about this, and I am not so sure. Worst case scenario you end up euthanized after occupying a cage for too long. Best case scenario, some old cat lady takes you home out of pity, but not before you get neutered.
Hmm, actually, it's not so clear cut which is the worst case scenario!
