I don't understand why woman say they want to laugh and have fun but are turned off by general humor. Granted not everyone will get my brand of humor but it is not so obscure that it goes over everyones heads.
Should I only talk about kitty cats and puppy dogs frolocking in fields of daisies?
Most profiles I read are so generic (my family is important to me, I want to have fun) yeah no kidding.
Maybe thats why there are so many good people alone in this world. To afraid to let our hair down. | |

Posted: 11/1/2009 7:28:20 AM | I know how you feel. I wrote a funny, but sarcastic profile a while back, and my main image was removed because too many people complained. I had people write to me saying some very nasty things, and when I wrote back to explain the profile wasn't supposed to be taken seriously I realized I'd been blocked!
Edit: In case you're interested, I talked about my six-pack, my software business and the sports car I drove and how all girls should bow at my feet!
The irony was hilarious, but no-one got it :) | |

There will always be those that get your humour and will be more than willing to banter back with you. Likewise, there's many who are too highly strung or serious to understand you.
Be yourself, don't change to suit others. You might end up being liked for something you're not and it may just end in tears when you can no longer keep up the charade. | |

Posted: 11/1/2009 7:54:17 AM | | Kitty cats are not my favorite. Puppy's are a lot of work (I have 2), and daisy's are lame. So, if you e mail me with that crap, I will delete it pretty fast. Maybe what you are saying does not come off as "funny" or intelligent. Maybe show you actually read about someone. Or suggest things you may have in common. Some of them men have the same bogus profiles as well. So, not to sure what to tell you. Hard to say "on line" since things can often be taken wrong. | |

I tried humor in my profile and email and didn't work so I just decided to do something loose, cool and straight to the point. I save the humor for when we talk on the phone or when we meet in person. | |

Posted: 11/1/2009 8:24:48 AM | I think you can never go wrong with humour. I've had many messages from women complimenting me on something funny, despite not being a match. The question is, does your humour work in real life? Do people find you funny? If they don't, they probably won't on your profile either!
One thing many women don't seem to find funny (at all) is poor spelling! lol | |

Yes, please! While butterflies fly overhead.
Yeah... some people don't have a sense of humour. Do you really want to date them anyways? I vote no. Have someone proof read your humour to see if it comes off as humour... and forget about it.
I just had a co-worker refuse to participate in an event because it was a 'Hallowe'en' event. It wasn't PC enough. Now don't get me wrong - the person is a lovely person - but if you accidentally stomp on their feet before you even meet - isn't that just a sign of incompatibility? I say so. | |

Posted: 11/1/2009 8:42:12 AM | I don't see anything funny in your profile, well, except maybe that you can't spell.
If your lady does get your humor, get another lady. If their profile is generic and boring... chances are: SO ARE THEY! Shocker. | |

Got nothing to do with good people being alone in the world. Has everything to do with people, in general, using good sense. There is such a thing called tact and respect. | |

No, sometimes the silent ones are funnier. You know you're really funny when no words are required; when you say nothing and still get a laugh. | |

Start with the simple stuff and then try for humor. Head to profile review and take a thick skin with you. | |

Why? Are you trying to attract “the masses” or the women who “get” your sense of humor? | |

Posted: 11/1/2009 12:40:33 PM | OP - what you consider a One-Size-Fits-All type of general humor may not be the same for the women you are contacting.
I've met many self proclaimed "humorous" men who were nothing but irritating as as wedgie when subjected to their jokes.
I prefer someone with a wry sense of humor and who doesn't have to work it like a Rodney Dangerfield wanna-be at the local comedy club open mike night.
And, btw, the spelling you were looking for was "allowed". | |

Posted: 11/1/2009 9:32:54 PM | I posted a few ideas for a first date that were completely facetious. I keep getting messages from women who took them seriously. People actually want to take a walk through a cemetery. On a first date!
I don't know what it is about those places, but they're just dying to get in there.
Thanks. I'll be here all week.
Try the Caesar Salad. It's to die for, and don't forget to tip your server. | |
