Does my profile look fake to you? Posted: 6/28/2009 8:55:27 PM
Your profile is fine, the guy who wrote you is a scum sucking no account predator on the lonely. Report and block this abuser who has no power whatsoever to do anything without your consent.

Is this enough/good content for a profile? Posted: 6/28/2009 8:51:16 PM
More tweaks: Lose the photo of you in the suit and with the sun glasses staring at the camera. Are ya trying to scare people? Loset the last 6 items on who can contact you. rewrite your own words with this formatting: (I corrected the spelling mistakes too) Just got back from Iraq and starting to return to a normal life. Before I left for Iraq I played semi pro football, and hope to do so again next spring. I am big about honesty, fidelity, and humor. I love to laugh and make others laugh with me, I try and avoid the cheap silly laughs but from time to time I can be a bit of a goof ball. I still believe that a man can be a gentleman, and have integrity, and be chivalrous, and yet still be a man's man. (really really - do you want to mention this? She wants you to hang with her.) and hang out with his buddies. I am active and want to meet someone who is also active, who enjoys challenging themselves mentally and physically. I like a country girl who will go camping, four wheeling and enjoy a field party with the gang. I love country music and dancing so that is a big plus if you do too but not a deal breaker. I'm looking for someone who I can hold a good conversation with, talking about life, music, the universe and everything. (OK I changed a few words, but ya get the idea? ) And YOU have to send out a load of emails because the women in your age bracket are not seekers, they are deleting other guys email.

I feel like my profile is missing something... Posted: 6/28/2009 8:35:33 PM
time for a complete rewrite and change of pictures. Eliminate katana wielding from the first mental picture. Not an endearing thing to most girls to imagine the weirdo with the sword and comic strip fixations. Her next image segues to a big horror scene one day on the uTube, head here, torso there, arms and legs off, she the star. But aside from that, you write well. And do not dwell on shy, confident sells.

Why do I attract all of the crazies? Posted: 6/28/2009 8:23:27 PM
The crazies are all looking for an employed single man to rescue them. Your profile is very nearly perfect. I would add a photo of you with a smile to round it out. Now get busy and paper the women with well written carefully tailored to each PERSON whose profile promises an intellectual fit. Seek the quirky ones. The normal profiles will drive you to boredom. Women in POF of your age group do not spend much time browsing for a match, they spend a lot of time deleting lame mail. You have to be proactive. Your cheese is great, now get out the email machine and do it the same way. Write in your own great 'voice' and if she doesn't respond - good. One more caught in the filter of uncommon sense.

Profile Review Opinions Posted: 6/28/2009 8:02:36 PM
Your writing skills suck. You write like a personal trainer, not a programmer. I am an old white foreigner guy so my opinion on your pictures are a bit - maybe suspect? But most women I speak to from 40 to 75 say they do not like muscle beach to look at, so lose the ones with the yellow T. Show the ones with the smile. Just a personal thing - but lose the goat bit. And pick the ones that show smiles most, tats least. Try going to a professional for a photo session? Let me just rewrite your stuff here. I will paste in all your words, but with a bit of formatting and comments in brackets. Your job is to copy and paste it in and then fill in the blanks in all the obvious places, answering what you will. Also I would mention your work as a programmer/analyst, not the personal trainer bit, 'cause the girls get instantly jealous or exhausted just thinking about all that exercise. And the fact you are SEPARATED, NOT DIVORCED is a bummer to many. Seriously man, ya gotta deal with this issue up front. Most women ain't innerested in a separated and potentially broke dude. When is the other shoe gonna drop? Or are you gonna reconcile and make an awkward mess? You have to explain this situation without calling the incarcerated *** an evil slutty **, and what y'all are gonna do about it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Just moved to Houston Area with a company transfer. (shows employment) I like to stay as active as possible, going to the gym, playing with my (age please) son, coaching soccer to a group of pre-school kids. (How come you have custody?) Activities around my house, are renovating? (What skill sets in this trade? And do ya cook? This is a huge turn on to single women.) Neighborhood and city involvement is: (official or volunteer, or what?. Details please.) I'm your typical Taurus very loyal to my friends & family, hard working and a little bull headed sometimes. Now for my faults hmmmmmm can't think of any........ok there maybe one or two. (prolly a good idea to let the lil woman figgr her own list out and just delete this item) MUSIC: Alternative Rock, Hip-Hop, 90's, Top 40, Jazz check MOVIES: Action, Drama, Suspense & Comedy.... check TV: LAW & ORDER, CSI, True Crime Shows..... check BOOKS: Suspense Trillers, True Crime & Fitness Mags check ACTIVITES: Working-out, coaching check INTERESTES: Travel, Photography, Wine. (notice the small change) OTHERS: -Coffee (one of my vices) check -Fan of Quentin Taratino Movies check -Dislike like whiny people (delete this item, remove negatives from your profile) -Not good with sugar coding or being politcally correct (check your vocab and spelling. Not liking sugar coating and being non politically correct is not a good thing to most wimmin. Makes you look like an aggressive jerk) -Staying Busy check -Like to Cook check -Honesty & loyalty are important cuts both ways -Love a good challenge (mentally or physically) check -Don't like to sit and watch sports on TV....boring (do not mention negatives) -Like tattoos with meaning (probably not a thing to include unless y'all are looking for an ink and metal chick.)

No Fireworks or Music, yet! Guys ~ Please help! Posted: 6/28/2009 7:18:56 PM
Don't weat the small stuff contains a typo. Should be "Don't sweat the small stuff." remove the restrictions on who can contact to - age and must be American. You will figure out the rest easily enough, ya gotta start with hello. To appeal to a broader range of men - I would take the "god" bit out of the interests column. A lot of men are really wary of Jesus freaks that put the relation to the church, pastor and God way ahead of every other relationship. Sort the guys after you meet, not before, and let the process of discovery determine how far you go. No is a pretty easy word, and it works. Just my thoughts as an observer. Also be patient, mention your willingness to relocate if it exists, and maybe more on your cultural beliefs? Nebraska is thinly populated, and your age group is not in the prime sector, so the pool is small.

Seriously, am I being a prude? Posted: 12/28/2008 2:45:44 AM
You are not being a prude, you are winnowing the chaff from the wheat. Guys Rule #1 from the Guy's Guide to Seduction: It is never a good thing to start with the sexual stuff on a keyboard, always wait until the communication is in person. Fondling keys is a waste of tactile time. Those who can't wait and express themselves with premature typeingtittilation are also saying they are primarily after JUST ONE THING, and are also a probable preemie in the sack. Wait for the wheat, and keep on winnowing. Meet the wheat, add coffee, talk. You only really get to know people when you can speak in real time.

suggestions welcome! is it my writing, or maybe just a little too BBW? Posted: 12/28/2008 2:02:38 AM
Your third picture totally rocks, make it the default one, lose the driver's license, and consider a few more recent pictures to post. Put your body type as a few extra pounds, you have not achieved BBWness. Be less restrictive on who can write. I think the one single thing that restricts your responses is your mention of strong Christian orientation. This is a small segment of the population so you will have fewer applicants. You should use your strong writing ability to say more about the man and the life you want to live with him. I only took three years to find someone on here that seems compatible. Be patient, and be proactive as well. Write to all that appeal to you, that is how us guys do it, and we learn how to deal with rejection without taking it personally.

Calling all 40-60Something Males? Posted: 12/28/2008 1:29:19 AM
This from a male 64 years old. I went to college at the age of 23, so the generation oof people I most identify with is for the most part five years younger than I. So for a convivial life experience where I do not spend half my time as a history teacher or trying to explain the relevance of my point of view, I want to stick with my contemporaries. The late sixties were a revolutionary time, and those older than I belong to an other era, mostly. So I went fishing for my own age plus three minus six. Found one too. In that age range are plenty of beautiful women, and I am outnumbered three to one in the fishing pond. Something that good looking women tend to forget is that the pool of suitors thins out as they age, and the most eligible men have the least difficulty finding a nice rainbow trout.

Your last question was how do you get him to make up his mind. You don't. He makes up his own mind. The more you push, the more he is likely to just go away. You are in a hurry, he isn't.

Mental Understanding Posted: 11/21/2008 5:14:45 AM
There is no answer to what men want, there are only three billion of us, and we are individuals that tend to vary. So nobody can make a true statement about what all men want in a girlfriend ad opposed to a woman who is also a friend. It is a numbers game, and all you need for the right man to arrive in your life is patience. You will meet more men hanging with men than with women, where the men you meet will often be seen as some other woman's property? So relax. Hang with friends, dress a tad sexy, and they will come.

Phobia Posted: 11/21/2008 4:56:06 AM
For sure it will be a deal breaker for some. But the positive bit is that you are fine as a passenger, so if you offer to share the travel expenses, it should not be a burden. Many guys would like the drive anyway, 30 miles is less than an hour. I recommend you put a mention of your difficulty with freeway driving right on your profile. It becomes up front, and anyone contacting you will know the issues to deal with. The ones who decline to contact you are lost anyway. Good luck on your recovery from that stent procedure.

Postponed date... Indefinitely Posted: 11/21/2008 4:13:34 AM
I am talking across a generational gap or three, as well as a cultural difference, but my sense of the problem the women might be having is in the nature of the 'date'. Out for drinks can lead to - more than a woman would want to risk with a totally unknown bloke? Drinks in the places I visited in London were likely to be all you got because the noise level was close to deafening. It might be a better idea for a first meeting in a less stressful more open venue. Here in Canada it is quite easy to get a first meeting in a coffee shop during a weekend afternoon. No particular dress code, a quiet place where conversation can take place, and a person can keep her wits about her, even send a spy to watch over her from a different table. Comfort is all. A very non demanding venue, with a short time frame, where she can drunk up, get up, and leave decently quickly if things go blah, but at the same time it can stretch all the way to evening or more if things go well.

Why do married men masturbate? Posted: 12/21/2007 11:48:19 PM
So, Hun, Before replying, I looked up your profile where you state you are Bi, Single, And looking for a fem. So Perhaps he senses a certain disconnect with you? Perhaps he had a mental thing going on that computer that was not what he thought you would or could supply that time? Was his fantasy world as far from your marriage as your profile is on this topic. You are shmoozing for a woman, while acting outraged your hubby isn't exclusive with your body about getting off? Get real.

Would you be suspicious if someone only gave you their cellphone number n not their home number?? Posted: 10/9/2007 1:00:31 AM
As you state your experience with a cellular guy, it is obvious you are confused about the issue. It is not the cell phone only stuff. Lots of people only have cell phones, myself included. And land lines can be traced to specific addresses. It is wise to be careful about that type of thing before you know someone well enough to trust. The thing to be suspicious about is behavior on the phone. Sudden hang ups, odd times when unavailable, and so forth. Though cell phones DO drop calls from time to time. And the owners DO go to meetings and other places where they have to turn them off. I am notorious for being courteous about switching off in theaters or restaurants, then forgetting to turn the danged thing back on. Give me a break will ya?

to get a tattoe or not??? Posted: 9/28/2007 1:11:22 AM
When I was 17 I thought it would be a cool idea. I wanted something that would stand out and make a statement for the rest of my life. Still thinking about that statement 46 years later. Nothing came to mind that was cool enough for the long haul. Here are a few ideas I never went forward with, but feel free: 1- A list of random girl's names all down your arm, each one crossed out. 2- Put the picture of Mount Fugi on your front, and reversed so it looks correct in the mirror. 3- The outline for a bunch of service access hatches and a red OFF button on your forehead. 4- Shave your head. Put any pic you want up there, and when you tire of it, let your hair grow. Pray to not go bald.

What do men find sexy as far as clothes go Posted: 9/28/2007 12:52:12 AM
What you really mean is what would look sexy on you to men in the socioeconomic age group you want to attract. So ask yourself what that is and what do their women wear. You are not old, and are good looking, though the dress in your photo is a bit dowdy to my 63 year old eyes. I think you would look good wearing skirts within an inch or two below the knee to the knee. Your tops can show as much cleavage as you dare, but more is less, so to speak. A hint is as good as a nod to us war horses. And I recommend going to a photographer for a series of photos for the web, carrying a suitcase of clothing changes for him/her to get your best foot forward. Take that advice, and select the photog. that makes people look good, but real, not staged. One or two face shots, the rest - full on fashion figure. Try not to blow 'em away with sophistication.

If you were a guy, how would you pick up on women? Posted: 7/27/2007 1:56:27 PM
Well rehearsed pick up lines are the worst. I have lots of success just by making a remark on whatever is going on around. Standing at the bus stop, or the checkout line. It is more difficult at the frozen food aisle because of the cold. I have a friend who would go to the launudromat with a book. (no laundry) and chat with whoever was there.

Tricky Question Posted: 7/27/2007 11:23:46 AM
In the olden days these people would have been locked up in a nut house. They still should. People don't always take their meds. I would not date someone who is seeing a psychiatrist (you spelled it incorrectly), psychologist, therapist, group therapy, support groups, etc. Even if someone weren't taking meds, I wouldn't date someone who had mental problems and needed a shrink to help them out. If you cry or panic when life throws you a curve ball how can I rely on you if I need your help for something? Will you curl up in a ball and start to cry? No thanks. I need a real man who has no signs of mental illness. Well Well. I usually look at the person's profile before commenting on their post. I was moved to comment on yours because it seemed so rigidly rghtious and simultaneously poisonous I assumed you might be a Republican. But no. I think it may have more to do with the diamondback rattlesnake you ate. Is it oozing back out your lips? I wonder what you would do with the mensch you marry if he were at sometime in the future to come down with a mental disorder. Have him locked up and head for divorce court? Head over the horizon - diamonds in your backpack, your lawyer's teeth firmly at his jugular? It is a good thing your comments on this thread show up in your profile to warn the next few who look. You for one - on mental illness - seem to be pretty well incurable. Your mental disease is probably xenophobia if not just plain stupidity. Imagine the Dept of Homeland Security in the not so distant future demanding the lists of everyone treated for mental illness, and one night rounding them all up as you advocate, shipping them off to (Cuba is too small) some place where a final solution can be arranged. Nein, frauline? It vass done in ze past with Jews, mental defectives, and gypsys. And you a Jew. At least you want only the crazy ones? You know, the ones with funny hats and hairdoos who run down the street reading from the Book and singing praises of religious fervor. Looks pretty crazy to me, but then I am a mental defective Pagan. Or something. You figure it out. And if you haven't figured it out by now, this is not only commentary, it is a flame.

Tricky Question Posted: 7/27/2007 10:37:35 AM
As a psych major I would strongly advise you to stay away from any bipolar type of personality. Bi polar is not a personality disorder, it is a mood affective disorder. It comes in two strengths - type 1 and type 2. As such it can affect many different personalities in many ways and be expressed in many ways and at huge ranges of severity, from so mild it goes undiagnosed for decades and is seen as merely a person with changeable moods, to the sort of swing from raving optimist to depressed hermit in cave in a person with other optional things like borderline personality disorder, or phobias, or obsessive compulsive syndromes. And all these side orders can come in a wide variety of strength. For instance - obsessive compulsive can be as mild as needing to keep things neat and aligned, or always clean, or knocking on wood for luck, or other mannerisms like having to do some ritual before every game. In any case, Bi Polar has nothing at all to do with hearing voices. That is reserved for schizophrenia - a completely different disease. I know a Bi Polar person - undiagnosed for over 40 years, and he was self supporting, did quite well, seemed like a nice guy all the time - with mood swings from optimism to quiet. Please do not make such sweeping statements. You are not a graduate with a degree who was a psych major. You are still a secretary taking psych courses, to call yourself a psych major is misleading without the context which is only in your profile.

It is not the panties, Witchypoo. Its either the fcuk me dress, or the fcuk me shoes. The guys can at least read that message without diving to the floor and looking up to you.. What I do not get is the "Must not have messaged looking for an intimate encounter." Why does that matter? At least it is honest and direct. Should it not be, "do not message me looking for an intimate encounter." I love semantics

Women attracted to men... Posted: 7/17/2007 11:22:45 AM
Well, Dorkie (Ya gotta love that name) Please forgive the familiarity in shortening it a bit, Being a somewhat dorky geeky type let me observe with all respect: It is simply the Big Head VS Little Head Attraction Sensitivity Syndrome (ASS) among men. Whereas in women it is observing Big Brain VS Little Brain when viewing the men during Lunar Unit Sensitivity Time (LUST). Of course this assumes an inverse correlation between muscle and brain; a popular urban legend. Of course, my brain is large, my head fat, according to some.

Sensual parts of a womans body Posted: 6/17/2007 7:39:54 PM
Women have 2 main erogenous zones. The brain. The skin. So I try to engage the brain using words, music, scent, food, lighting, a sense of privacy and timelessness. As for the skin - I do head massage, hair brushing, facial massages with cream that I later scrape off using a blunted straight razor, back massage, foot massage, and whole body massage. There is always enough time to play the whole body like a piano, and get to the sex parts later on in the opus. If she squirms too much I may have to tie her up . . . Of course it is really super to get the same stuff back, which has been, sadly, a rarity - all too frequently they seem to think all I want is a BJ to get me ready. Of course none of this has any relationship to urgent mutual desire and the availability of a park bench in the shadows.

no drugs?? Posted: 2/24/2007 9:59:03 PM
When you choose to do drugs at any level, you also choose to be excluded from many potential matches. It is your choice of lifestyle that filters you outta their scan. Grow up and accept your own stuff for what it is, and live with the consequences. My list of unacceptable matches includes tobacco smokers, because that deadly weed also tastes foul when I kiss the lips that smokers have, their breath and hands clothing, hair and fingers stink of ashtray, and I find the whole thing unpleasant. They can smoke all they want, I just will not consider them for a mate. As for recreational chemists? I quit that stuff thirty eight years ago. And I quit tobacco twenty eight years ago. The tobacco was tougher to quit.

I will be coming alone, so anyone can call me a date, if not a taxi later. And Lauren - I would be happy to be your date - even though there is a slight chronological age difference (But guys do think at least 30 years younger than their chronological age - a practice that makes them seem a bit immature when they are only in their forties.) I will be keen to talk and swill whatever after the event. I can even claim alumnus status at Concordia. Not that it was Concordia back in the day, then it was Loyola, and my sheepskin says (in latin) U de M collegium Loyola or some such thing. Does that make it a collector's item?

should I lose weight or earn more money? Posted: 2/20/2007 8:26:21 PM
Well guy, you aren't all that overweight, and most women your age are mature enough to not need that hot bod. Nice dog too even though the pups look like rats. The biggest problem in your profile is the weed. Have you looked at how many women stipulate 'must not do drugs'. You aught to think about quitting if you want to widen your horizon.

Advice on testing people Posted: 2/20/2007 8:16:38 PM
Testing is stupid and lazy as well as insulting to the testee. I substitute the following for testing: I listen to what people say I observe them as they say things I observe how they react to the world around us, I listen to their response to whatever I say. After a while I get an idea about what kind of person I am speaking and interacting with. It takes a bit of imagination and observation on my part to go with the flow, but I enjoy it more than making up test questions.

OMG!! Are you guys SERIOUSLY this homophobic???? Posted: 2/14/2007 7:52:27 PM
Newton's law of gravity isn't a law; but is really close. Something about the attraction varying directly according to mass, and inversely according to the square of the distance between. Mark's Law on Homophobia. Homophobia increases directly as the distance narrows, and inversely according to the square of the IQ.

what smells turn you on Posted: 2/14/2007 7:36:38 PM
Clean natural body smell, healthy skin smells great under a warm sun. Some perfumes make my eyes water, and I start sneezing, then get a headache. This works for some men's cologne too. You know, the scent that makes two more trips up and down the elevator after she/he gets off. Be subtle.

please ask guys whether they like patriarchy. Posted: 2/14/2007 6:45:32 PM
You are asking the wrong people. You should be looking for patriarchs. Moses is dead, but there must be a few left.

Are you in stealth mode? Posted: 2/14/2007 6:42:57 PM
I'm in stealth mode. While I do realize that it's the internet equivalent of hiding in the bushes, I don't care. My reasoning is the same as the others. I don't want to give anyone the wrong impression and I want to avoid the "viewback". What wrong impression? Viewback? Its not like peeking in your bedroom window. I blab off enough on these forums and I assume that I get viewed out of curiosity about the poster. I am not so egotistical as to think my charming face somehow induces some 20 year old who lives 3000 miles away has any interest in a 'relationship' despite our mere 40 odd years' difference in age. I frequently check out the profile of posters just to get a better idea about where they are coming from, what their testimonials say, things like that. Maybe it is a female thing? What is the problem? A few extra electrons flowing? I don't get it. Yes it is a dating site, but also a forum and an idea site. Don't you want people to know if you looked them in the eye before thinking and saying something about what you said?

You don't excite me anymore! Posted: 2/12/2007 2:41:58 AM
Mostly, I think it is after spending an amount of time getting to know, the answers become - not enough for me to continue, not my style, so many reasons for the thing to be not mutual as it was before meeting to find out. Just get on with it

Has anyone ever try speed dating? Posted: 2/12/2007 2:32:08 AM
Hmmm Speed dating and some sort of bang for your buck. I think an immediate reward of the actual date might be a cool idea. So an easy to get to venue for the interview phase, followed by a seat beside your best matches, to see a movie, followed by a discussion forum - meet - otherwise kiind of neutral ending. A few thoughts on the matter of a film club. Thousands of movies are shot every year, and the ones that are distributed to Montreal (or anywhere for that matter) by the distribution houses that own the theatres number in the hundreds at best. They aim their releases to an average person, and are incestuously linked to the major production companies who need desperately to recoup the hundreds of millions invested in prime turkies; and I am definitely not your average type o guy, so I do not like most of the usual fare. So, anyway, I had this idea of a speed dating / movie date / drinks / chat over - coffee? Tea? whatever, later in an agreed on location. What about a slack day for the movie industry? Any suggestions on venue, films to show? Perhaps even at Concordia, as I recall there was, when I was there, quite a good screening room.
