Looking for a little judgement. haha Posted: 10/31/2009 11:03:48 AM
I'd say you have a good start. Some more pics would be good...as always, a headshot of you smiling is what most ladies would prefer as the main profile. Your profile is a lot of single sentences. You enjoy reading, so it shouldn't be hard for you to revise it so that it's more paragraph oriented and tells a story about you. I would consider revising 'I support the second amendment" to read "I enjoy target shooting/hunting/gunsmithing" this way it focuses on what you do rather than a political stance. Perhaps include some statements about your career or career plans or things you are doing or planning to do as fun/enjoyable? Most folks find those who are doing things as attractive. A section on what sort of ladies to whom you are attracted is always good to have after your "me" sections. ya know "I like smart/tall/short/funny/serious/quiet/talkative..." Good luck fishing.

Provide honest criticism for my profile. Posted: 10/29/2009 11:40:01 AM
Pretty good profile. I have one suggestion: Many people on here claim to be funny, but few show it in their profile. If you can be funny in your profile without being self-depracating I say, do so. I think somewhere in your profile you mention "adieus" where I think you mean "ado"...unless that was wit. http://www.thefreedictionary.com/without+further+ado

soo...I guess I'm going to ask the obvious.... Posted: 10/28/2009 11:41:43 AM
What she said. Yes..the smiling headshot is preferred. I'd lose "down to earth, simple guy"...everyone thinks they are down to earth and no one is as simple as they think are. Hence, such a statement is fluff/empty. I think you have it covered with "straightforward and honest." I agree that assertive statements about oneself like "I am such and such" are indeed much better than "I believe..." or "in my opinion." Happy Fishing.

Does my profile scream slut? Posted: 9/8/2009 11:25:37 AM
OK, so by now you know your profile isn't slutty. You might keep the "guys eyes and smile" bit..but consider dumping the butt comment. Everyone likes a good caboose on the opposite sex. yeah..you might consider losing the cleavage shot if you're concerned about pervs. Just bear in mind that nothing you do will stop all pervs. Just delete and move on...I wouldn't recommend the snappy retorts that others may suggest...why engage at all with someone with whom you are repulsed? Give time to those of your interest..not to those who are going nowhere.

US standards do not measure up on international scale Posted: 8/29/2009 7:24:31 PM
But it doesn't work as easily if you are working things out in your head. The old imperial system of 240 pennies in a British pound was used because people didn't NEED calculators. They worked out fractions in their heads, and 240 lends itself easily to being divided by 2,3,5,6,8,10,12,15,16,20, and a whole lot more I dunno scorp...as an analytical chemist the metric system is far superior to the us customary system (USCS) when it comes to working stuff out in your head. parts per million is mg/L or ug/ml or ng/ul, etc.. Trying doing that in your head using USCS.

Well who doesn't prefer metric? The only real issue I see with the switch is nuts, set screws, and having two sets of tools. I was repairing a briggs and stratton 2 stroke enigine from 1984 and was surprised that one of the set screws was metric. granted I don't work on them for a living..so maybe this isn't surprising. Must admit though..for weather I still prefer the temperature in farenheit.

OK not bad. My suggestions: Get a different main pic. One that is a headshot of you smiling. Of the pics you have now, the last one is probably the best and it's not your main pic. You mentioned that you are italian/irish but raised more italian. Elaborate on what that means perhaps - how is it manifested in you? Honestly, I'd skip the favorite TV shows bit. I'd wager a guess that most folks don't give a crap what TV shows other people watch. Talk about what you like to do instead. What kind of woman are you looking for, or alternatively what kind of woman are you attracted to? Happy fishing.

But we haven't evolved beyond the point where we don't call out 'God help me ' when in dire distress , say when you are drowning ? This is often laughed about but it is a fact that humans scream for 'god's' help if they believe they're going to die . I'm going to ask the question ... WHY ? Is this a rhetorical question? You do realize that not all humans will cry out to God at their demise right? And that of those who do scream out for God, some will be in earnest while others will not? That for some people this is learned behavior of language and not heartfelt belief? That atheists and agnostics I am sure have uttered " jesus christ" and "god damn it" but not in earnest.

sigh..sign..your arguments against abiogenesis have nothing to do with the ToE. We've been over this. But I'll humor you..if you insist that the math is right, then you've proven life was not originated randomly. Consequently, the only rational conclusion is that you've just proven the existence of God. Congratulations..you've accomplished what the greatest minds since the dawn of recorded history could not. I'm sure your nobel prize will be coming shortly..I suggest you start spending money now.

no, sign does need his beliefs opened up. There is nothing wrong with having religious beliefs, but when one starts ridiculing others who lack those beliefs, and who harbor scientific minds instead, then they should not be allowed to hide behind taboo. If sign wants to negate our understanding of how the world works, then by the rules of debate, he must also open up his alternative reality to be scrutinized. Just because its "religious" does not make it taboo. If sign will not do this, he has no business here Greg...you missed my point. ..if sign were to simply state "I think God made the world as it is...directing it exactly as science reveals it" you should know that we cannot falsify that right (nor can anyone prove it)? Hence, what is one left with but philosophical ramblings that returns us to square one? I'm not saying having religious beliefs is taboo (although personally, religious types often make me shocked/saddened and or disgusted and even laugh). I am saying discussing an ontological argument in a thread about evolution is not pertinent and the only crticisms of a religious argument flirt with ad hominems when it comes to evolution. It's a waste of time IMO. I understand the spirit of your point which is basically..."anyone can be a critic, but let's see your opinion if you this this other one is inaccurate." But I think we'll gain more respect and hence, ground , by keeping the debate focused on the theory of evolution though. JMO

The very fact that you have said "de-evolve" SCREAMS that you lack the requisite understanding for an informed discussion. sign, if you were offended by that.. ask anyone who does have a good understanding of the Theory of Evolution and I wager they would tell you "uttering such a statement about de-evolving indicates an ignorance about the Theory of Evolution" to the point that it requires providing a fundamental definition of evolution prior to having an informed disscussion. In its context, my statement should have been clear. One cannot have an informed disscussion about evolution if the other party remains misinformed. perhaps i should have clarified it as such The very fact that you have said "de-evolve" SCREAMS that you lack the requisite understanding for an informed discussion ABOUT THE THEORY OF EVOLUTION. " So, I'm sorry I wasn't clearer. I'm sure you are capable of having informed discussions about many things, it just doesn't appear that the theory of evolution is one of them.

Oh, just a thought to perhaps help keep the debate in perspective. We probably all do it to one degree or another, but it can change the nature of the debate when it gets out of hand. We all end up uttering irrelevant fallacies, attacking people instead of contemplating ideas. Agreed..that does happen and it's better to be avoided. I have no desire to open up some open season on sign's religious beliefs if that's where this is headed. Better to just let it end...time and time again elegant and concise explanations have been offered that have reaffirmed the ToE vis a vis sign's critique's ...or perhaps..have made an attempt to provide an understanding in place of what is a misunderstanding of evolution. To no avail however, he remains steadfast in his disparaging of the ToE based on the same arguments that have been effectively refuted IMO time and time again by multiple posters. We've passed the point of diminishing return and have reached "beating a dead horse."

OK. specifically. 1. Get more pics...until then, of the 3 or 4 you have at this time , change your main profile pic to the one of you on the couch. It's a smiling headshot and that is usually the preferred main pic. 2. Expand on your profile points. Give examples if you can. nearly everyone says "down to earth" and "funny" and "caring" but giving examples demonstrates it as best we can via a profile reading. 3. Discuss your likes a little bit more. e.g. "I greatly enjoy concerts because I admit I like to people watch and love the ambience of live music combined with an excited crowd." 4. describe the women to whom you are attracted. Leave an open ended mystery invitation? e.g. ask me about the time I made everyone laugh at the bank"...or something in that vein? just a suggestion. happy fishing.

Opinions about your profile or your approach? There's a distinct difference. If you are happy with your approach, why inquire about the opinions of others? If you are asking if your profile could be improved I would say yes. Yeah, the profile should be mostly about you..but also consider that you are asking someone to read it. As such, should it not be an enjoyable read (for the reader) also?

Who said that the reference to this experiment was supposed to "invalidate the theory or evolution?" You've made that inference repeatedly..that this horsehockey white paper casts doubt on ToE. Stop being disingenuous. You've even gone to the lengths of examining abiogenesis models as somehow casting doubt on evolution. It was presented as an avenue of further exploration, as another possible contributing mechanism to evolution. wait..I thought you didn't believe in evolution? Now, which is it? I really do believe that you have a complete misunderstanding about what evolution is. The very fact that you have said "de-evolve" SCREAMS that you lack the requisite understanding for an informed discussion.

I agree with above response (except for the Hemingway remark - Hemingway's writing is best described as short clear sentences and a lucid story) - but it is better to "be funny" than to say it. The lion's share of people who don't think they're funny are also clinically depressed. ; ) Over the top funny is good ..ya know..humorous obvious exaggerations. self-depracating humor can be tricky..it should be twice as funny as it is a slam on you. and don't overdo it...almost everyone prefers self-confidence to insecurity/negativity when it come to attarctive qualities. SHOW your creativity. The first date section is a good place for that IMO. Expand your profile. I'd lose the "getting attacked in vegas" photo. Most folks here want to be "the one" not the "one of many" I'd lose the "constantly hyper" in favor of "very active" or somthing in a similar vein. what sort of woman are you looking for? would be good to add that.

http://www.zemirahealing.com/pdf/ConsciousIntentiononDNA.pdf Firstly....that was ~15 minutes of time I wish i had back..speaking of which..did the same guy publish a time travel paper? Frog eyes' critique of that dubious effort is spot-on. I fail to see how it follows that these unsubstantiated and spurious claims of psychokinises are an invalidation of the Theory of Evolution...even if they had some truth which, I am sorry, is absurdly laughable without real data. At this point..after reading Frog's, bright1's, boxsox's, and verzen's (among others..rhino etc) informed and carefully crafted responses it should be clear to most that you are adamant in some effort to discredit evolution in spite of an enormous body of evidence which supports evolution and a real lack of any volume of evidence contrary to the theory.

So far nobody has been able to demonstrate exactly how matter evolves spontaneously towards an ever-increasing complexity in either evolution, or abiogenesis. This does not invalidate either the idea of abiogenesis or the theory of evolution.

sign, The origin of life (first self replicating molecule) and the Theory of Evolution are not one and the same. If it were, why limit the discussion to biology..why not trace it back to the origin of everything? A disconnect between the understanding of quantum mechanics and relativity does not invalidate the theory of evolution does it? It's my guess that the theory of evolution is one of the most widely misunderstood theories going. Most folks seem to think they know what it is...but they really do not. I've heard crazy statements like "man couldn't come from apes, if we did why don't women give birth to monkeys every so often?" Folks have little grasp of things like phyletic gradualism, punctuated equilibrium, punctuated gradualism, etc.

As others have pointed out..Cy Youngs record for wins. Babe Ruth still holds both batting AND pitching records - why he is and always will be the greatest player in baseball. Nolan Ryans strikeout record should stand for a long time, but I can't say it's unbreakable...I don't see it happening anytime soon. One would have to average over 300 strikeouts a season (that's one killer season) for 19 consecutive years. Weird one..Don Bradman..Cricket batsman. His average is more standard deviations away from his qualifying competitors than in any other sport..apparently. "His Test batting average of 99.94 is by some measures the greatest statistical performance of all time in any major sport.Charles Davis The Best of the Best By way of comparison, the second, third and fourth best Test averages are 76.56, 60.97 and 60.83.M.E. Hussey, R.G. Pollock and G.A. Headley (These statistics exclude players who have completed fewer than 20 innings.) This disparity between the best and the second best exceeds that in other sports."

It's dubious at best to label any tobacco user as un-athletic. Drug use or the lack thereof is incidental at best in determining what sports are more althetic than the next. Severe acute or chronic usage can affect athleticism for certain, but it's inaccurate to say "If you smoke/drink, then you aren't an athlete." Bryan Fogarty was a promising hockey player...who drank his way out of the league, but it doesn't mean he wasn't an athlete.

Why aren't there more women involved in math and science? Posted: 7/3/2009 1:00:04 PM
CassaGo, You are learned in anthropology, so I figure you may have an acumen to share about natural selection and humans vis a vis gender differences (I'm assuming that you hold with evolution and not creationsim/ID). Relative to some species it's fair to say the differences between men and women are minimal for certain. The issue I think is trying to quantify the observed differences between men and women on a basis of how much is cultural and how much is genetic. That's a bit sticky. As I see it, it would be great if we could remove any cultural roadblocks that are prohibitive for either gender when it comes to life/work/behavior. many studies have examined certain advantages for one gender over another in humans for certain tasks/aptitudes. But even for those studies, those are just observed differences and still have trouble sorting out the reason why - nature and/or nurture? It's certainly fair to think that there would be more women in the fields of math and "hard" sciences if cultural roadblocks/pressures were nonexistent. We're making strides in that direction...and that's a good thing. One the flip side...if it were to be determined that if biology alone did provide certain advantages for some tasks/aptitudes in general...that's not a big deal if we don't make it so.

OK here's my two cents: Get a main picture that is a headshot of just you smiling. Your main pic now is you and another guy (who is who?) giving "the shocker." Then later you state sex isn't everything (I'm paraphrasing). I'd suggest dumping both the shocker pic and the mention of sex. I suggest losing the "little games people play" comment...I don't know anyone who claims to like "games." It may leave the reader with the feeling that you may be a little bitter. JMO, but I'd trade in "I don't expect too much" for "cautiously optimistic" or "mostly carefree"....but do talk about what is important to you. I think you've done that with the honesty statement, so, props for that. I'd really consider eliminating the bit about giving too many flowers, or rewording it. You don't want to come off as the wishy-washy too nice of a guy. Don't get me wrong - romance and flowers are awesome and most ladies do love that. But too much of anything is a bad thing, that's why they call it "too much." I think it would be wise to include: what you like to do or are doing..try to keep profile current with periodic updates. what plans/hopes/dreams you have what kind of woman to whom you are attracted.

I think my profile is good, but... Posted: 6/6/2009 9:04:41 PM
It's brief. lengthen it a bit. Elaborate on "anything outdoors" for example: water skiing? rock climbing? biking? volleyball?. I'd eliminate successfulness and replace it with success. A paragraph discussing what kind of women you find to be attractive or desirable for you would be good. Good luck fishing...."tight lines."

can i have some profile advice Posted: 6/4/2009 6:33:19 AM
OK. Not a bad start. I like how you discuss yourself first, then what you find attarctive in women. you have a section on goals..that's good. My suggestions: Get a main profile pic with a headshot of you with a SMILE. "generally a nice guy"...hmm..can you reword this? It's not all that bad a statement, but IMO such a statement won't really add anything to your profile. Almost every guy thinks they are "nice"...consider "respectful" or "polite" instead? I'd much prefer to be considered a "good man" over a "nice guy." JMO but when I hear 'nice guy" I think...someone who is unoffensive, but who also does not excite others...i.e. bland. And I'm sure you don't consider yourself to be bland. "Care too much..too sensitive." While it's great to be with people who have acepted themselves, I don't like seeing profiles where people start listing their negative attributes. Perhaps state that you are caring and provide a brief example? Ordering: Move the section listing your hobbies to after your introduction but before your paragraphs on what type of women you find attractive. Consider revising your profession to be "musician/restaurant" instead of "fast food/musician." Seems to me that music is what you love, but working in a restaurant is what you do as a day job...a small detail perhaps, but couldn't hurt. Good luck fishing.
