Here is the crux of the matter.
In msg 1 you write:
Here it is ladies, a few tips that we men would like to pass along:
... {snipped}....
We don’t want to read all the excuses about why you are trying online dating. It’s ok to be a loser. Cut the crap and come to terms with yourself. You're not a 10. You're a 6 and you need the Internet to help you get a date. We never said we were any better.
which implies you speak for all men, have assembled a reasonably well gathered sampling of opinions of men, or perhaps are an expert on these matters.
In msg 25 you admit:
At least I gave a true guide to how I think...
So evidently this thread is merely your opinion. More importantly you state:
3. Kickboxing is for men.
If you are a women and trying to pick up a man, listing kickboxing as one of your interests isn’t going to work. Its not a turn on even though everyone and their dog claims to be a kick boxer these days. Take up cooking instead.
I've yet come across a profile of a woman who lists kickboxing as an interest. It sure isn't one of mine either. However if I did meet and form a friendship with a kickboxing woman I'd be okay with that. There are tough times, one where having a body-guard around might be prudent.  | |

is that under the section for of disposal of:
used house hold items/ Ex'es/ male/female or
used house hold items/sex toys
used house hold items/cooks/cleaners/ maid
used house hold items/gardeners/auto mechanic/ home repair
isn't the great fun and entertainment of forums that every thread takes off on ASSUMPTIONS, MISUNDERSTANDINGS etc and takes on a life of its own??? | |

Posted: 4/16/2008 10:16:05 AM | I think women who can kickbox are hawt 'cause they're probably in excellent physical shape & strong enough to take on any man who disses them for being into kickboxing ... ahem ... chad ... cough! cough!
So evidently this thread is merely your opinion. Tyeee, aren't most threads based on opinions anyway? | |

Posted: 4/16/2008 12:05:20 PM | Yep, pretty obvious it was a copy and paste...but I really didn't see the author claim he wrote it. How many other threads on here are the same? A lot.
It is all in fun, if you took it serious...well...umm..sorry about your luck? lol
I have seen a few kickboxers. | |

Yes of course threads are based on opinions. Generally folks present them as such and take ownership of their opinions. If the opinions are those of some other source it is typical, or at least courteous to give credit or acknowledge whose opinion one might be presenting.
Do you disagree?
I think a gal who kickboxes would be awesome to have as a fishing buddy, esp. when its time to haul up the prawn traps.

Posted: 4/16/2008 12:46:52 PM | Tyeee, I don't kickbox but I've been known to kick my bedmate during the night & quite violently ... unintentionally & while sleeping soundly of course.  Would this qualify me as a good fishing buddy? | |

You might have restless leg syndrome. Sometimes when I'm dozing off my legs twitch pretty hard too, waking me.
Good fishing buddies don't sleep when fishing, or hauling up prawn traps. They have to stay awake and keep the boat on course, out of weeds and other flotsam, off the rocks, etc. so I can get some shut-eye on the sleeper seat.

Must we critique every thread that is not our own?

multiple choice question
a) now is that something you conceived on your own
b) or something you read and passed on,
c)or your opinion
d)or scientific fact
e) none of the above
f) all of the above
right on BCboy who gives a hoot where it is from... or do we have a copyright police here
the whole forum is fun, assumptions (most), opinions (lots), stuff one read and remembers (lot), mixed up thoughts, misadventures with car dealers......
awww and the funnest stereotyping, labeling, bragging ...
and look here here I am all assuming
all good, carry on as is | |

Posted: 4/16/2008 10:51:33 PM | The answer to the above is F.
A friend of mine and I put this together and yes it was posted in craigslist too at the same time in the rants forum. Since it pertained directly to this site though I felt that this was the place for it. My friend didn't want to post it under his name on here, so I volunteered to do it since I don't really care if people see who I am.
If people are that anal about copyright infringement feel free to message the poster email on craigslist if you want to verify that it is (partially) original Chad content  | |

Posted: 4/16/2008 11:15:15 PM | | #16 - Don't post photos of you at the shooting range with a gun. Who wants to date a girl that things this is a positive image to post of herself? Actual you know what, post it. Makes it easier to move past your profile. | |

Posted: 4/17/2008 11:51:02 AM | ... and here it is guys, some tips for you, courtesy of my favourite blogster Rachel Lucas: http://www.rachellucas.com/2007/05/rachels_helpful_guide_to_onlin.html
Remember, it's only partly funny - the rest is both sad and true. | |

Posted: 4/19/2008 12:14:33 PM | Here are a few rules for the guys.
1. Take the damned hat off. We aren't idiots, we know that when you say you still got your hair and you are sporting a hat or bandana in every photo that isn't 10 years old it really means that you have SOME of your hair and not ALL of your hair.
2. SHAVE. Please for the love of god, be clean cut, or if you MUST sport a beard and mousetache for whatever reason have the good sense to clean it up BEFORE posing for your dating profile pictures.
3. Cut your hair! Pulled back and in a pony tail is not a style for men anymore than it is for women. Basically if its short keep it short. If its long, make damned sure it makes you hot and suits you and isn't a throw back from being cool in the 70's.
4. NEVER pose with women, or children. The reader will assume you aren't over your ex, or you have no respect for your child.
5. Don't list off a bunch of your favourite hobbies unless you partake in those at least once a month. If you did something once, it does not make it a hobby.
6. If you have a few extra pounds. Don't ask for a thin or average girl to respond. Either get on the freaking stairmaster and lose those few extra pounds or date people in your own weight class. No 100 lbs soaking wet woman wants to be crushed by a 230 pound gorilla, thanks.
7. Don't say you are romantic unless you have maintained romance for longer than 3 months in any of your past relationships. All men are romantics in the early days, but 3 months down the road we know we are gonna be sick of picking up your socks.
8. Wear clothes that fit and are clean.
I'm sure there is more, ladies care to add? | |

"Don't say you are romantic unless you have maintained romance for longer than 3 months in any of your past relationships. All men are romantics in the early days, but 3 months down the road we know we are gonna be sick of picking up your socks."
Oh my gosh - you and I must be the only two people on the PLANET who like holding hands and walking on the beach. ) And I bet I only need one of them to count the number of times you did that with your ex!) | |
