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!) | |

Posted: 4/22/2008 11:02:57 AM | I agree with dooly on most of the listed points. I like clean shaven faces but also love to rub my face against a soft, well-trimmed, sexy beard. Lone moustaches stuck to the middle of a guy's face just look weird IMO.
On #6 ... the weight issue, some guys who are overweight have said they like being with a slimmer woman so she can do all the work during sex because the guy can't due to his excess weight. Also, if you put two overweight people face to face, it's harder for them to get physically close with two large bellies in the way ... not to mention that sexual positions are a tad more limited.
#9 ... Quit leading pre-first date conversations into sex chat ... I mean there are so many other topics one can chat about.
#10 ... Quit the sob story about how you haven't had it in years & how your ex-wife hated sex or refused to do this or that when you were married, then attempting to get your date to give you a hand job or BJ before the end of the date. I've heard the ex-wife sob story from just about every guy I've dated. Doesn't work for me anymore. | |

Posted: 4/22/2008 3:16:34 PM | omg this is so typical...
women ask for it, then cant handle it when its given...
like that infamous "do i look fat in this?"
my dad taught me as a kid, if you have to ask if your cool, then your no where near cool, cause when your cool you know it...
in other words dont ask questions you dont want answered | |

Posted: 4/26/2008 11:07:45 PM | | So, the last guy I met asked me "Am I cute?" and his looks weren't that great - what could I say? "Hey buddy, if you have to ask, then you already know the answer!!" | |

Posted: 5/14/2008 6:24:18 AM | Chad, "Average" is open to a broad range of definition. I'm surprised there's not more controversy over the term, "athletic". After all, does society in general not consider 300 lb Sumo wrestlers or 80 lb Jockies (I won't even get into pre 80's East German women weightlifters!)? Why even have multiple choice? By definition we could all be "athletes".
I do strongly agree with the "make me laugh" statement so prevelant on the ladies' profiles. Almost makes me want to list my occupation as 'Circus clown' or 'Dentist with portable NO2 unit'. Do we consistently post criteria such as, "must look gorgeous and sexy frumping around the house in tattered slippers and a thread-bare housecoat, sans makeup"? Of course not. That's a given!  | |

Posted: 5/14/2008 4:43:23 PM | This thread is called "A Must Read Guide For Online Dating In Vancouver" but so far it only contains the male perspective on dating. To keep this thread fair, we need to post a similar list from a female perspective. Any volunteers willing to take on this task? - FunnyAndSweet48
I was hoping someone would suggest that! 
Here's my interpretation of the ladies' version:
1) Don't have pictures of your ex (or any woman, for that matter), with you, in your pictures. It's lame & gives the
impression that you are trying to convince us how attractive you are.
2) Listing your body type as "average". Fair enough. Plenty of folks of both genders tend to fudge on this one.
There's really no point in lying about your weight (or your height, for that matter), if you actually want to meet people.
3) Bullshit! List whatever interests you have. People want to find someone that they are attracted to & have interests
in common with. I am a woman, but I happen to L VE hockey & more specifically, the Canucks (better luck next year,
guys)
4) Can't argue with you there. Not a dog person personally, so I can't argue this one.
5) Matter of personal opinion/taste. I've seen pictures of guys here (shirtless), featuring tons of beautiful art. A turn-off
to some, smoking hot to others.
6) I wouldn't worry about this, because most of the time, you're not that funny! We're just trying to be polite 
7) I have certainly noticed that the majority of guys (in my own experience) do not read profiles. No news flash there.
(ps- take a cold shower, kid!)
8) I really don't think this one is even worthy of a retort. MYOB!
9) I am not looking for someone perfect, just the one who is perfect for me.
10) Now, that's just obnoxious! There's plenty of reasons for online dating, that do not imply being a loser! For me, the
reason is that I am just too damn shy to get out & meet people, IRL. Perusing profiles, chatting via email & IM prior to
meeting, is SO much easier! | |

Posted: 5/16/2008 12:16:44 AM | | Kickboxing chicks are indeed hot. If there are any listed female kickboxers out there not feeling the love, send me a message. Forget dinner and a movie, it's all about dinner and a sparring match! | |

Posted: 7/12/2008 12:39:14 AM | 1. post pictures with whoever you want in them - it's your profile
2. listing body type as average? didn't know this was the Sears catalogue, excuse me
3. kickboxing is for whoever wants to do it. this is a free country
4. own as many dogs as you like, and train them to tear the throat out of hairnets
5. who cares what you want to see? go on to the next one if you don't like it
6. you don't want to make us laugh? i'm laughing right now AT YOU - shoot me
7. getting multiple messages? i guess you don't - maybe it's the PERSONALITY FACTOR
8. missing teeth? disclose? are we buying horses here? or slaves off the auction block? feck off
9. if you're not perfect, then don't expect US TO BE, jagoff
10. Admit to ourselves why we're online? Why are YOU online? nya nya nya. Are you a "10"? no, just an ***hole
thanks for coming by...mr personality | |

Posted: 7/12/2008 11:29:53 PM | Sensing a little bitterness by the OP. Cheesy lines from men in the dating scene:
“Great legs, what time do they open?”
“You must be tired because you’ve been running through my head all night.”
“Hey girl, what’s up? Guess what? It’s your lucky day. Out of all the girls here, I picked you to talk to.”
“That shirt’s very becoming on you. Of course, if I were on you I’d be coming too.”
“Can I buy you a drink or do you just want the money?”
“Can I have your phone number? I seem to have lost mine.”
You don't need car keys to drive me crazy.
Remember me? Oh, that's right, I've met you only in my dreams.
I'd better get a library card, because I'm checking you out.
Do you know how to use a whip?
I rest my case. | |

Posted: 7/13/2008 8:54:44 PM | RR- please tell me you are joking!...those cheesy lines sound like they come from a 10 year old!
Dooly- 230# is a gorilla?, damn!..To all other big guys out there" Please keep your weight off women, especially during sex!!
I know I would not want a woman even equal to my weight on top of me...which brings me to my #1 concern about women's profiles. So many are seriously overweight, especially my age, (men too- don't get me wrong) and it's sad, mostly due to fast food and easy living.
Yes, the inside is most important, but fat is unhealthy and unattractive, especially to those knocking themselves out to get into shape. | |
