Be careful, I may have done some serious damage to MissWright's truck....! (It was still working when I returned it to her, I swear!)

Aaaah Lex...don't sweat it. The teenager learned how to drive stick on it before you ever even got behind the wheel! The clutch was probably on its last straw anyways! At least I made it back home across country in the blizzard with no problems before it went!! And like I said, knowing a mechanic with his own garage saved me more than a grand!! I don't blame you at all darlin'!!! I blame everything on the teenager!!

Hmm we have 300ks between my town and the next so its not going to hurt to crunch a few gears, and half my kids have been driving them since they could see over the steering wheel so you cant do any worse.

Yeah, and you can probably auction off those signed books on eBay for a small fortune! (A very small fortune, actually....!)

Hell no!! I'm saving 'em for AFTER you go viral with a movie. Then I can say...look, I know the guy that wrote the script for that!! He personally autographed my books AND I have a picture of him in front of my truck to prove it!! I'm waiting to cash in on the gems...

Somebody told me "Zero Is...." should be a movie. What is it, like 6 pages? Can you imagine me having to flesh that one out? Not that I wouldn't do it, but, jeez....

Well you know who to call on if ya need help with extra spacing issues!

Nothing's perfect Lex. That's the beauty of life...

This coming from a perfectionist!

Right, and now, after meeting me in person, you know why my profile is the way it is!

Yup! And now you know why I'm never going to land a man! Not many could handle the likes of me!! We're definitely 'unique' individuals and I'm glad we got a chance to hang out (albeit only briefly!). Someday when we're both better off, we'll be able to look back and say remember when...

Hummm so ya saying we should post pictures of how we look in the morning or at our worst...Ohhhhhhhhhh hell nooooooooo if they stick around they will see that for themselves at least let them see the good side first. Ya know kind of like fishing get them on the hook before they try to run......

Okay, so the consensus seems to be "put your best foot forward" when it comes to meeting new people, especially here on the internet. In other words, people seem to generally go out of their way to post the most flattering picture on their profiles, to write the most positive aspects of their life, and to put themselves in the best light possible when communicating.

Now this seems to make sense in theory, supposing that you're trying to attract another individual. I mean, you want them to see what a great guy/gal you are, right?!? However, the more I think about this, the more *** backward it seems...

If people REALLY wanted to find someone, they oughta put up a picture of them when they first get out of bed in the morning, which would generally be when they're looking their roughest. If your potential mate can stand that, well then just think how pleased they'll be when you look your best!! If the goal is finding the perfect person to share the rest of your life with, they're going to be seeing your mug every morning, right? Why not let 'em see what they're getting into right from the get go!

Use the same logic for putting your best foot forward...If you portray the best of yourself, your potential mate can only be disappointed when he/she gets to know the you that's lesser than that. Whereas if you were to put up the not so great side of yourself, anyone that was initially attracted to you (despite your perceived 'flaws'!) would think even more highly of you after getting to know the better side!

Not that anyone will actually do this, but it might explain why the failure rate far exceeds the success rate on internet dating sites! Just something to ponder...
