Need some advice on my profile
Posted:
10/5/2008 10:55:32 AM
Yes, those are bad pics. Get a haircut and try again. Also, when you post multiple pics they should be in different locations with you wearing different clothes. And what's up with the foil wrapped thing in your pic? Is that a baked potato?? Is it relevant?
Be more assertive in your description of a first date ("I haven't dated so I'll do whatever you want to do" just makes you sound WIMPY!). Get more descriptive about what you do for fun. When you hang out with your friends, what do you do? Where do you go? Finally drop the part about being self-critical. This is supposed to be an upbeat, positive profile (think magazine ad) that draws people in, so being self-deprecating is just a turnoff.
Good luck!

criticism and advice please
Posted:

Dump the torso shots - no one wants to look at them but you. Your primary photo is grainy and poorly cropped - drop that one too, and for now use the car shot (it would be better if you took a new photo that shows your face, no glasses, and kept your clothes on too).
Add white space (paragraphs) to your profile and since you don't have time for ignorance try to make your profile sound a little less so as well. That means, for starters, using proper grammar and punctuation, spell checking, cutting up the run-on sentences, and working on content too while you're at it.
Finally, add some more interests and a first date scenario. Chicks dig that.

My turn to do this request thing
Posted:
10/5/2008 10:36:27 AM
Ok, well, since you asked.
1. Lose the rubiks cube picture and make the boring but nice head shot your primary.
2. List your interests. Telling people they change alot simply isn't compelling, nor does it reflect on you. I don't care if you change your list weekly, but make a list. Here's a start:
sci-fi, cartoons, Worlds of Warcraft, video games, anime, puzzles, star trek
- try to add a few intellectual interests to that so you seem more rounded.
3. Get a headline.
4. No one cares that you chew on ice.
5. Dorks should know grammar and spelling. Aint ain't a word.
6. Make up a first date scenario, or leave it off. Telling people you don't date or telling them you get your rocks off playing video games, well neither of those things is likely to rope you a calf any time soon.
Good luck!

Good for men but bad for women.
I disagree. I think that depends on the man, and on the woman. I personally favor this type of relationship over sleeping with someone who ISN'T your friend first - I'd rather KNOW someone and LIKE them before I make them my lover.
My 2 cents.

Our Coffee Culture
Posted:
10/2/2008 10:03:59 PM
I love my coffee, and possibly any man who would bring me a cup in the morning (especially since I live in BFE!). Bonus points if you know how I take it!
Don't do Starbucks - it lost its charm shortly after I left Seattle in the early 90s. These days I pretty much make mine at home (Seattle's Best a specialty Sumatra), since South Dakota is not known for its coffee culture. Occasionally, I brew up DandyBlend - an herbal alternative to coffee with all the kick but no caffeine... hot or cold ... or Chai (also hard to find in South Dakota, but I smuggle it in from Colorado!).

One week after a meeting, he wants to come to my house
Posted:
9/23/2008 2:47:22 PM
Are you really that naive? Yes, he wants sex. Or he's a sociopath. Or both.
You've known the guy for all of an hour IRL, and you got him from a dating site - yeah, inviting him over to your house sounds like a REALLY GOOD IDEA (not!).
... it puts the lotion on its skin ...
Got a basement he can bury you in when he's done with you?

never internet date outside your local area
Posted:
9/13/2008 11:02:51 AM
Well, if she's really the "love of your live" then you should be willing to take a chance and move to be with her. It makes absolutely no sense that you would engage into a long distance relationship then whine about the distance, and choosing your apartment and a job over the love of your life sounds to me like your priorities are more than a little messed up.
As for telling others not to have LD relationships... just because it didn't work for you doesn't mean it doesn't work for other people. And to think what you would have missed, if you had avoided meeting her in the first place based solely on her location.
My advice, stop whining about it and decide what is the most important thing to you. If it's your relationship then take the plunge and go out there to be with her!
Good luck!

Sounds like a manipulative b*****d and I'd venture to guess he was previously married or in a LTR (thus the first I LOVE YOU was probably just a reflex - he was used to saying that to people and probably forgot the context wasn't quite right). Anyhow, it sounds like you made the right decision - was 11 as high as you could go?!
So much for thinking that guys you meet IRL are any better than the ones in fish!

Yet another damn reason why i hate dating
Posted:
9/9/2008 9:05:48 PM
Actually, peterhoover, TIPS = To Insure Proper Service (ignoring of course the fact it should be ensure not insure).
And yes, you should tip at the table at buffets if you have someone serving you drinks or taking away your plates, and also at the counter when you're eating at Dennys, and usually for coffee if you're served by a barrista (not necessarily if you're poured just a cup of house blend though).
On the other hand, it was rude of the OPs lady friend to make a big stink over it. If she had any class or grace she would have simply tipped, no need for eye rolling or an etiquette lesson.

How bad is to ask someone out by email?
Posted:
9/9/2008 8:54:32 PM
Nothing wrong with the medium, it's just a matter of how you're asking. But this presumes you've already had a few email conversations back n forth - not that you're emailing this person out of the blue to ask them out.
The fact that you got her email address from a 3rd party sounds a bit stalkeresque to me... think you'd better at least ask for it in person before you write to her. If you haven't already.
StarreGazer, please stop giving this poor guy advice. He'd be a FOOL to follow it.
OP, good luck!

Maybe that offended her (it would me, and most women I think). Or maybe she ran for it when she noticed on your profile you said:
By the way, the age is wrong, I am ten years older

Why do some men act interested, then pull back?
Posted:
9/9/2008 6:52:41 AM
OK, so I've heard that natural human instinct is to RUN when being CHASED.
So, if you really like a guy (and I do), how do you get them to initiate the chase? Especially if they are very shy?

No, Mr. Amateur BodyBuilder, looks don't count at all. If a guy have a really compelling profile, I'll correspond with him regardless, at least initially.
But it's creepy trying to have a conversation with a faceless guy, so what are you scared of? If you want to meet the love of your dreams, sometimes you have to take a chance.

Kick him to the curb. With behavior like that, he's NOT your friend (much less your "best friend") - friends don't treat each other like that. You deserve real friends and a real man who can give you the type of love and loyalty you deserve.
My 2 cents.

he's very, very gay.
We spend a lot of time together and he always wants me to cuddle with him but when It comes to having sex he always has a freaking excuse.
Kick him to the curb and find a man who is ready, willing and able to give you the lovin' you deserve!

Just Stop It!
Posted:

I have to disagree - why discourage people from posting negative BS like that on their profiles? - it's easier to identify who's carrying around WAY TOO MUCH BAGGAGE for the short trip we're on!
My thought is, post whatever you want, as long as it's true. Be yourself, and maybe you'll find someone who is just right for you.
Good luck!

Just do it. Doesn't matter if you're nice about it or not, just be honest and be respectful - cut him loose and move on. That's the nicest thing you can do for the guy, honestly.

Or, try Googling her based on the information you DO have and maybe you'll get lucky with a street address.
Or, pony up and ask her address. Worst she can do is say no (and think you're a stalker, but then again, #2 sounds a bit like stalking anyhow!)

Men over 45 and facial hair
Posted:
8/22/2008 4:02:16 PM
I don't mind the facial hair as long as the look is current. Grizzly Adams is out, guys, and for that matter so is Miami Vice. And keep in mind that beards turn gray just as much as (or sometimes more than) other parts, so keep it trimmed and neat and make sure it's all in sync, colorwise.
Oh, and one more thing for you guys over 45... if you have more hair on your chin than on the top of your head, consider shaving it ALL!
My 2 cents...
