Signs your first date isn’t going well….
1. She’s cool with any place you suggest – as long as her cats are allowed to come.
2. Her mother is following you to the restaurant.
3. A few minutes into the date she answers her phone and proceeds to arrange a blind date for later in the evening.
4. When you jokingly suggest flying to Vegas to get married. She informs you with a straight face that her parole conditions do not allow her to leave the country.
5. She just called you Tom, for the third time. Your name is Dave.
6. After chugging three martinis she throws up into the potted ferns and then asks you to take her home. Problem was it was a lunch date on Monday.
7. After several hours listening to her life story she realizes she’s been dominating the conversation. She apologizes by saying, “I said enough about me; what I’d really like to hear is what you really think of me.”
8. She hands her phone number to the valet and asks him when he gets of work.
9. After a wonderful evening you ask her out again. She answers that she’d love to but she’ll have to run it by her husband first.
10. You’re pretty sure you guys went to high school together – except back then her name used to be Mike. | |

Visit the "Profile Writing Tips" thread highlighted in green for a whole load of great and politically correct advice on how to write your profile over again. | |

| OK I changed it.
Posted: 7/2/2008 10:41:25 AM | | Return the the "Profile Writing Tips" thread. A profile is not a list of googled quotes and sayings that you found online. Write a profile about yourself and what you are looking for, without using regurgitated "jokes", according to the very good information and guidelines set out in the "Tips" thread. | |

Posted: 7/2/2008 3:48:08 PM | | I'll repeat...do what the nice lady said and go read the tips thread. The headline is unoriginal, people were emailing that list of bumper sticker sayings in the 90's. We can all google humor, the ladies may want to meet a gentleman who shows more of himself than copy/paste skills. You changed it to make it still the same. It's not appealing or enticing, it tells someone nothing about you. That's what a profile is supposed to do. Read the thread and show that you have. | |

You're half right - humour is attractive.
Where your theory is breaking down is thinking that recycled jokes = humour.
It's too bad, because I actually loved your username. I thought "wow, I bet this one is fun/interesting/creative /can write and spell". I was actually looking forward to checking it out.
Looks like you've nailed the "can write and spell" part. But the rest... yawn. | |

If you want to find someone to date, fill in your idea of a good date. | |

Posted: 7/2/2008 6:53:40 PM | Dude...are you trying to attract 7th graders that would even think that stuff is funny?
OK, so you're 40. I don't know what women in your age range want for sure, but I'm assuming stability and some sort of career...or, maybe you want girls my age. Either way, your profile's not gonna cut it.
I don't even know where to start. It's all wrong...Just...start...over. Ctrl+A then the delete key. Seriously.
Try something basic
"my background"
"my hobbies"
"my future plans"
Then move from there. Trust me...girls like funny and ORIGINAL, not thrice fried emails, like another poster said. | |
