Fish protein Posted: 8/1/2006 8:53:27 PM
Well, it isn't the protein persay that make fish very healthy. Sounds to me like your tv show got mixed up between protein and fat. Fish are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids. They are very healthy because like you said they can be metabolized easily and are stored as HDL cholesterol "the good cholesterol."

Why dont I get any messages???? Posted: 7/5/2006 9:01:16 AM
In addition to what everyone else has said, your messages aren't returned because they simply aren't interesting enough. If your first impression is a boring one, don't expect to get another one. That's just the way it works.

being recognised outside POF Posted: 5/25/2006 9:22:38 PM
Haha, I've been recognized a few times around town by people. Usually they are people I have chatted with but haven't met yet. But I get a lot of emails asking me if I was at such and such club or at some place I have never been. Those are usually very funny.

Phone Numbers in 1st Emails Posted: 4/25/2006 11:04:44 PM
I've been known to ask for digits only after a few conversations (ok like maybe after 5-6 emails and a few msn conversations). I ask for a cell number, if they want to give me a home number that's fine. There is no need to drag on talking to someone on msn for weeks till you both get so bored of each other that you finally decide to talk and then find there is zero chemistry. Anyway, a cell phone is very hard to trace. If this is perhaps someone you want to get to know, you should be talking to them on the phone. Msn, email etc I find are time wasters. I can get to know someone far better and if we're a good match from a phone conversation that lasts say 20min than talking to them for weeks on msn.

Wow, hmmm. It seems everyone has a different idea of what flirting is...To me flirting is all about teasing. She tells me an embarrassing story and then I merciliously tease her about it. Or she does something really silly. It doesn't matter. Now, I'm not talking about being mean or anything just poking fun. That to me is flirting.

Advice for the inexperienced/inept! Please! Posted: 4/1/2006 10:12:48 PM
Hi Erin, Actually the situation you find yourself in isn't that odd. There are a lot of people your age who have never been in a relationship. It's not even something you need to explain to a guy when you first meet or date. Maybe later, after a couple dates or so. You'd be surprised. I doubt most guys would think less of you. In some ways, it actually shows that you have the maturity to wait till someone great comes along. Anyway, to answer your questions: 1) They'll flirt with you of course. And if you're interested you flirt back. Make sure that they don't just stay a msn buddy. Make it clear to the guy that this isn't what you're looking for. Get him on the phone as soon as possible. Once you when you feel comfortable talking with him on the telephone (at least few times) then drop a few hints you'd like to meet him. If he's come this far there's no way he won't ask you. 2) Flirt, flirt, flirt. It shouldn't be overly sexual. But he should get the message. 3) Doesn't require any explaination till the guy gets to know you better in person. By this point he'll know that you're a confident young lady who has her act together and you won't need to do much explaining at all.

BJ - hmmmm, I would think the name at least would get you some attention! Well, BJ is kinda a attention grabber, but I think the 83 at the end is likely the kicker. Not just one, but 83. I can see her mailbox filling up in no time.

When I see profiles that say "NO PLAYERS" or "Don't send me full/half naked pictures" or "I don't want to cam with you" I send messages like "Do you like players?" or "Wanna see my naked pictures?" or "Do you have a webcam?" I just can't resist :P. I dunno why I can't figure this online thing out :P.

Hi, I haven't read your profile, but it looks like other people have given you good advice. About the pictures. A few of them are actually pretty good for instance the 6th one with the guitar is pretty good, also the one with you sticking your tongue out is not too bad. The 5th picture with you kissing the camera is probably not too good. For one, only a woman can make a picture like that work. Secondly, the closeup of your mustache is probably a turn off to some. I would get rid of that one and get a friend to take a few more pictures of yourself having fun and smiling.

Using a lot of humor in 1st email Posted: 12/31/2005 12:31:47 PM
1) Maybe you just aren't that funny. There are a lot of bad Jerry Seinfeld wannabes out there. 2) Maybe your stuff isn't funny to women. Or at least the ones you are writing to I disagree on point 1. I can make people laugh, although moreso in real life, perhaps it has less to do with what I say and more to do with what I am doing and how I am saying it. Most of the stuff I use is original, I wouldn't consider myself a wannabe. Point 2, I wouldn't agree either. There are some that find it funny. And sometimes I'm a little offensive. Oh well.

Who cares, what a 1000 people think? Ideally, you only need one of those 1000 to think you're all that. Of course, it would have to be mutual. Nobody I know goes out looking for someone that everyone else thinks is an 8 or a 9. It only really matters what they think themselves.

Help me out on this one Posted: 12/25/2005 8:24:50 PM
Hi, I think I might need some help on this one. I'll give you some background. I started talking to a girl on another website last March or February. We hit it off fairly quickly and talked on msn together for a few weeks or so. Then it fizzled out till our conversations became more and more sporadic to the point where they ended completely. I still kept her on msn and she still had me on hers. A few months later sometime in the early summer, I sent her a message on msn. Turns out she was still interested; and so was I. So we started talking again, about 3 hours or so a week. We agreed that we were very attracted to one another. I wanted to meet her. She would agree in principle to meet but she would back out a few days before. That happened twice. I decided to give her one last chance. I called her up and set it up; we decided to go out bowling. This would have been the last week of September or so. Well we met. I arrived 5 minutes late. I know, not a great thing to do. But I called beforehand and apologized in advance. She was already there. But when I arrived, I didn't see her anywhere. Turns out she had seen me pull up and had ran across the street after me, but it was dark and I didn't see her. I went in, sat down, and waited. A few minutes later she walked in. I didn't recognize her at first because she had dyed her blonde hair a dark brown. I wasn't sure if was attracted to her at first. Anyway, we were both really nervous for the first 15 minutes. We could barely get more than a few words out of each other. I felt really silly. Finally, we started warming up to each other. We ended up having a pretty good time, I began feeling fairly comfortable with her. We flirted with each other a bit and then changed each others names on the electronic scoreboard while it was the other person's turn. Things were going well. I could tell she was into me, she ran her hands up and down my thigh a few times. We decided we had enough of bowling so we drove around for awhile. Then we decided to go to the mall. Unfortunately by the time we got there everything was closed. We ended up alone riding an elevator to an unknown destination. When the doors opened we realized we were in a hotel. Wups, my face turned a bright shade of pink. I knew what it looked like. And I didn't want her to think I was that kind of guy. But she thought it was harilious and joked about spending the night with me. I laughed. We rode the elevator back down and drove around a bit. She took every opportunity to joke about every strip club and sex shop we drove past. I didn't mind, I joked along. We got back to our respective cars and decided to call it a night. She was already planning our next date. I wasn't sure if she wanted to make out, now that I think about it; she probably did. I guess I should have made a move. We ended up just hugging and going our seperate ways. By this time I had decided that I was definitely attracted this girl. I didn't say anything. I guess I should have. She has almost exactly the same cute face as the girl from Godzilla. A week later, I was on an airplane on a trip to Europe. I thought about her often. I sent her an email once. However, ever since I returned our conversations became very brief. I decided to let it be for awhile and see if she would come around. She didn't. And she didn't want to do anything with me anymore. I tried to get it out of her. Finally she told me that she was scared to be in a relationship with me. Other guys have hurt her before and she thought I would do the same thing. There wasn't anything I could do to convince her I wasn't like that. So I told her that we should just be friends. She was happy with that and told me that maybe one day things would change. We haven't had much contact over the past few months except for a very warm text message that she sent me on my birthday. I don't know what to do. I like her. But every time I make an effort to reach out to her I get the cold treatment. It's kind of frustrating. What should I do? Should I move on? Everytime I have, I feel like she draws me back. Is she just a world class tease? Where did I go wrong? Sorry about the long thread.

Does my profile suck? or is it my face? Posted: 12/21/2005 8:48:02 PM
Hi, I think you might just be messaging the wrong guys. Try to match up some of your interests with your prospective matches. When you write messages try to talk about these things. As far as being pretty; you sure are. The only thing is that the first and second pictures are blurry. That wouldn't stop me cuz I can tell your not trying to hide anything but you might be getting fewer hits on your profile because of it. I really like your profile. If you lived nearer I'd send you a message. The only thing which would stop me is this line, "actually a little more than normal because im bi and that you should know right away, im the first to point out the hot chick." It's fine if your bi, but if you are looking for a guy, I'd take that out. You can tell them later. It will also reduce the number of guys you might get looking for threesomes.

Is Money What It takes to get Women? Posted: 12/18/2005 12:06:58 PM
When people ask what I do, first I tell them. People often assume that because of the field I'm in; I make a lot of money. Not true. After I tell them what I do if the subject of money comes up, I tell them that "I have chosen to do something that I love instead of chosing something that will make me loads of money." And to be honest, I have never had anyone reject me because of that. The key is I make sure my lack of wealth is a reflection of my character. It is important to make it clear that it is well within my grasp but there are other things which motivate me. I think thats a lot more attractive than having a lot of money.

Ladies, What do you think? Posted: 12/11/2005 3:19:21 PM
You look really sad in your pictures. You might consider using a picture of you smiling or having fun as the main picture. The about me is ok albeit a little boring. Give examples of how you have made boring situations fun. Also, you say you can read women well. Again give examples and tell us how you go about doing this. Simply saying so isn't really good enough. I would also consider taking out all the ...s and just ending your sentence with a period. Well you could leave one if you liked. I think it's great that you talked about your daughter, she's obviousy a big part of your life.

In real life, it is way easier because you know the person or you can watch their reaction. So if you've said something terribly offensive then you can apologize. Honestly, I'd go light on the humor till at least the 2nd email.

Lately, I have decided to try to write funnier and wittier first emails to women. So just as a tip to all the guys (and possibly gals) out there, it really doesn't seem to work very well. Especially if it is not overtly obvious or can misinterpreted in any way, don't do it. Everything I have written was in good taste I thought. But for whatever reason it doesn't seem work. Writing a thoughtful, intelligent first email seems to work much better. Save the jokes and the witty banter for later. For whatever reason, it just doesn't seem to work. At least for me. Perhaps it might have something to do the other person believes that I'm trying too hard to impress them although the content is still essentially the same as a more thoughtful email. Any thoughts on this? Perhaps, I'm just not that funny. And for the people keeping track at home, I wrote about "funny" 15 emails over the last while like this and also changed my profile to reflect this style. Most were not returned. Much fewer than before. Anyway, I must say I'm going back to the way I was doing things before because I had much more success. Also note that I wrote emails to all different kinds of people. I did not care if any were returned I had very little interest in that. I merely wanted to see if this would work better. Cheers.

Please share your most weird, obxious, and slightly disturbing transit stories. I have plenty so I'll go first with one of mine: So, today I didn't have a car to get to work so I had to take the bus. I stumble onto the bus at 6AM and sit down. My eyelids are starting to shut when all of a sudden I hear very heavy raspy breathing in my left ear coming from the seat behind me. And I mean very heavy. I didn't dare turn around as i could even feel it on my neck. Needless to say, I couldn't sleep at all during the entire ride as I think I had Darth Vader riding inbehind me. Please share yours :).

My list looks similar to yours. Actually probably every guys does. I get caught up in comparing people to my ideal list. I've decided that it's fine to have such lists however it is better to choose two or 3 qualities from that this person MUST have. You are unlikely to find someone with all of them. But if they meet that simple criterion then I would definitely give them a chance.

So I'm waiting in line for like 10min and when they get to me they say "sorry, we can't serve you because it's 6:00 and we aren't accepting any more orders." Like WTF? You couldn't have told me when I was standing in line 10min ago that you weren't going to let me order? And what about the guy in front of me who ordered his burger at 5:59. Couldn't you have just thrown mine on the grill with his? Grrrrr. I might add that this is the Pit at UBC. Stupid place, don't go there.

Yes wierd behavior if they don't want to return your messages then astalavisa. Doesn't matter. What I find even funnier is when someone adds you but then never talks to you only to remove you at a later date because you never contacted them. Favourite lists are dumb anyway, personally I think the number shouldn't be on the profile anyway. It isn't useful information and people misuse it.

Hi Ivonateaseya. Nice nick btw. You sound sweet. I would only reply to the ones that show a genuine interest in you. "You're hot" and "Nice ass" don't count. BTW I sent you that last week, why haven't you responded? I think a couple paragraph email saying what you have in common and why you would click should be reasonable expectation. Maybe kinda funny too wouldn't hurt. And yes, I would just respond to ones you're interested in because lets be honest you're going to get lots of mail.

Hi Lori. You're a great girl. And you're going to get through this. And I just wanted to say congradulations on the baby. Its exciting but it's too bad you are having problems. I can't offer much advice. I've never been in that situation. I've known people in similar situations. I think what worked for many of them was to get their bfs involved. Which could mean going to class for new and expecting parents or something like that. You could meet people who are in a similar place as you which could provide support which you may not be able to get from anyone else. Remember that as a guy we sometimes don't know a lot about how these things work so our first reaction is eckk or to be kind of shy. If we start to learn a bit about things it might help. I hope you guys can work things out. Try to find someone you can trust that both of you can talk to. Hang in there, .
