It sounds good in theory, BUT -- in my own case -- if I can't generate any interest even WITH "best foot," I don't see where "worse foot" is going to help matters any!


Well you're exceptional Lex! laugh :wink:

I suppose this might explain the "fizzle out phenomenon" better...why some people get a ton of initial contacts that look promising, but then gee, what do ya know, the hot and heavy romance just seems to wane once the other person starts getting to know them better. Swing and a miss, onto the next one.

I just think people try too hard to impress other people...I dunno, maybe I'm nuts but I'm more impressed by seeing someone real than by seeing all their assets splayed out before me... ohwell


The problem I've noticed is more along the lines of "Self-assessments aren't worth the paper they're printed on."

It's true that people try to present themselves in (what they perceive as) the best possible light, but "I'm unique because I'm bipedal and take in oxygen" is not exactly accurate or useful information. And it's hard for me to get too excited about someone who can't write at something above a third-grade level.

As far as dating sites go, the beauty of the forum format is that it really exposes people for who they are, if you give them enough time and 45,000 posts.



"....bipedal and take in oxygen..." and is very unique!

This is why, despite the fact my profile is 1458 pages long, you will never see "Can't drive stick" in it.

Hmmm no way am I going to put the crappiest picture of me as my profile picture and nope I am not going to put a morning shot on my page ever. so yep I am vain.
However, i do have in my profile what I am like and who I am,
But for me to feel safe, I had to make sure that Anaconda had seen me at my absolute worst before I had met him, we talked on skype at all hours and he saw me in the morning night and noon, so I didnt have to worry about him not liking how I looked. As for my personality it is clear, I am totally unorganised and chaotic, it is always a shock to people how bad I am but they get a good picture from my profile.

Anyway I guess when you are getting to know someone its all about being completely honest, then you dont get any shocks, sure put your best foot forwar, but be realistic when you start talking, if you are a crappy person then let them know before hand, that way they are not going to run the first time they see you in a crappy mood.

That is why you are beautiful and we all envy Anaconda....

You are a real lady in every sense of the word....

except for the fact that you didn't go for the Polish Anaconda Penis (me)....

sigh.....

Well then you CAN drive a stick, you're just not good at it; there's a subtle difference there! But the truck did lurch forward over miles so you definitely achieved the ability to drive stick! :thumbsup:

I suppose it's like saying I can't cook. I can actually cook stuff, it just tastes like...well, insert any horrible tasting substance here and you'll likely be accurate! Same story, different characters! :wink:

I see what you mean. While it's sometimes flattering men telling me i'm hot or whatever, i don't take their opinion of my looks that seriously. It's not important whether i look ugly or pretty. I would say having stuff in common is more important. Especially having a similar sense of humor.


gotta start somewhere... nobody can say looks aren't important, because whats the first thing we notice?

Yeah, I guess this is a semantics issue....I can cook, IF you don't mind getting radiation poisoning and/or being incinerated in a 9-alarm fire (and that was just trying to make toast). Cooking something and then having the eating-person survive is another thing entirely....
