Also, to put things in perspective, I pointed out to a girl on here that she had a major typo in her profile that could be misunderstood and taken the wrong way. So eventually we talk on AIM and I find out that she gets 32 emails a day and the only reason she even responded to mine was that it didn't say, "Hey, how r u?" and thats it.

32 emails a day. That's 224 emails a week. I've not even crossed the 150 mark yet and I've been here for 2-3 weeks.

It is pretty obvious to me that I'm not going to be able to retain anyone's interest on here if all we do is talk over the internet to get familiar with each other. I'm not "hott", not especially tall, and definitely not rich. So all I've really got to go by is my wits and personality.

Some days I go to work from 10pm to 8am the next morning and stay awake until 10, fall asleep and wake back up at 9pm, just in time to go to work. (Days I don't have class)
Needless to say, maintaining any kind of aquaintance over the internet long enough to set up a meet with the type of girl I usually hit it off with is pretty hard. So I really need to learn how to catch interest fast, set up a meet and get phone calls going.. Hell.... I've technically had better luck at 2am in the morning at Wal-Mart. :/

5. You need to think of at least 2 words that describe your personality. Then do the same for her. (Go look at my profile,if you don't understand what I'm saying.)Funny,fun,honest,caring,loving,loyal,etc. are NOT acceptable words to describe you or the woman you want to meet. Some examples of acceptable words that are UNIQUE discriptors, adventurous,geeky,oldfashioned,aggressive,introvert/extrovert,passionate,intense,
meek,layed back,etc.


I see one word to describe YOU and NO words to describe HER.

You DO NOT change introvret/extrovert by replaceing introvert with a synonym. IF you are in fact THAT then it should NOT be hard to exxplain WHY in a sentence.

You continue to "ask for input" but seem to be having difficulty implementing it. Am I waisting my time here? I will check back in a couple days, if I do not see the changes I have just "suggested" I am going to conclude YES I am waisting my time,and will not comment further.

best wishes

Whoah, chill out brother.

No, you are not wasting your time. I've heeded about 95% of the advice I've been given, and I like the way things are going.

Did you not see my part at the end where I described an adventurous, geeky down to earth yet quirky woman I would like to meet?

I am still thinking of words to describe myself, as well immersing myself in other posts on the forums.

I have actually had 2 women email me(in the same day, wow) out of the blue wanting to move things to AIM since this rewrite happened. I'm quite happy with that and thank you and everyone else for the well guided input.

The fact of the matter is, I'm still deciding where I want things to go..
I will delete the "introvert" part of that paragraph for now..

By the way, any opinions on me adding my favorite quote from a novel? The quote is "War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength"


Thank you.
