I raised the issue in the first place because I wanted to get some feedback. So don't feel like you have to hold back....!

As I'm not a boob guy, the size is pretty much irrelevant. The eye makeup is the real deal-breaker.

And the punctuation purposefully left out as well?

Dammit, now I have to go back and add that.

BTW, I changed my profile headline. The new one is longer, but more accurate, and slightly less ironic, probably.

Oh, that should do the trick
Straight to the point

But I started using the "intimidating and complicated" line as a joke, after so many people on here referred to me that way. I've had probably 50 or 60 other headlines before that one, and, as far as I can tell, it never made any difference.

I just don't think people read profiles. Because if they did, about 90% of the people who contact me wouldn't have contacted me.

I think it's because everyone knows you're taken. All of the homewreckers have signed up with eHarmony now.

Oh, but they HAVE....!!!!



You seem suspiciously well-informed about this sort of writing....!!

You can forgive a woman for not reading the whole thing. Maybe they get so aroused reading it they cannot help but email you before finishing it!

And at least you do get mail, you probably get more than a lot of people. I get absolutely NO email on here at all, my inbox is literally empty. This is a good thing for me given my circumstances, but if i was looking to meet someone my chances would actually be zero. You at least have a sniff.

This is about the people who contact me, which you already know if you read the aforementioned title as mentioned above.

OK, here's the thing -- I get a fair amount of people contacting me on here, via e-mail, IM, nudges, whatever. A certain percentage of these are scammers, and (thanks to Mark and Charles and their crew) I can usually get them nuked within 45 seconds.

As for the ones who are not (or who cannot definitively be proven to be) scammers, I notice a disconcerting sameness in them. Many of the messages are extremely brief (I had one this morning that said "Can I know u?"), poorly written, completely devoid of any signs of useful information or a functioning brain stem, and from people who are very very far away.

I rarely hear from anyone who actually has anything to say, or the literacy skills to say it.

And this puzzles me, because nowhere in my profile (I think -- I mean, the damn thing is so long I rarely go in there myself anymore) does it say "Please contact me if your writing is so garbled and incomprehensible that it will give me a massive headache."

Statistically, it seems to me that the odds SHOULD be that at least one genuine prospect should have contacted me by now, seeing that I've been here 4 1/2 years. Math was never my best subject, though, so I may not know what I'm talking about. It would certainly not be the first time.

And there are many locals on this site; I see them floating through "People You Might Be Interested In" every day. When I look at their profiles, though, it always says "Last Seen Shortly After The Civil War" or something along those lines.

I just don't understand what makes me attractive to someone whose most creative act in life was opening a bag of Ruffles Potato Chips.

George Costanza said it best: "When I like them, they don't like me...and when they like me, I don't like them." OMG, I'm George Costanza....

Excuse me.....Hi, i'm writing a term paper on the finer things in life, and i was wondering if i could interview you...

That kind of Church getting into our personal lives and personal business and spirituality is why I started the thread "God is not the Boss of me."

What I really mean is that is my message to the CHURCH LEADERS who think they can dictate to me how to live my life because they think that have direct contact or understanding who or what God is and I don't.



God is not the boss of me and neither are they.

How can you not sleep at night when i am always watching over you through my telescope?(these are better than binoculars as it leaves a hand free..)

I was in a LTR, 10years with someone 10years younger then I..It was great, but in the end we were in 2 different places in life.
We still have a great Friendship. Im a true believer in things happen for a reason,Age is just a Number afterall. =0)

I think it doesnt matr if you get maried in court. God will be watching you,anyways anywhere you are making a comitment to god. The building is irelevant. If you cant aford a church weding god wil not condem you becuz ugot maried in court.
