Topic: Getting attention.

I have a friend who I am attracted to and she tells me that I'm too good for her. She thinks she's f'ed up, crazy, annoying, and can't understand why any guy would want to be with her. "I pity the guy that gets stuck with me." On the outside I don't see any of the attributes she describes. I wonder if many women feel that way, that they somehow don't deserve a "good guy".

As for the common denominator I didn't mean I was gonna re-write mine to reach out to the most people or be someone I'm not. I'm far to bullheaded to change for someone. lol Perhaps I worded that wrong. I'm just plain curious. Is it the hot guy in the pic, is it the poetic wording, is it bluntness. I'm wondering if there really is attraction that can happen without the physical realm. Can someone really like another based on the other persons narrative alone?


Don't assume most women think that way just because your friend does.

Anyway, be yourself. Write about yourself. We can't tell you what to write in your profile. If I'm looking at someone's profile, there needs to be more going on than just a picture.

First off before posting this I realize how one could pull desperation or pity from it but I assure you I am soliciting neither.

Ladies, what grabs your attention with an online personal ad? Does a shorter ad leave you wanting more and make you more likely to respond to an email or does a more complete ad give you more to go on? Is it what a guy writes in his ad or how he writes it?

Guess I'm asking for some insight in the Woman's Handbook of yours.


Just be yourself and be honest.....:smile:

I definitely like eyes and teeth. If a photo shows me what the person might actually look like... as opposed to hats and sunglasses and far away shots, well, I appreciate that.

And in the narrative, I'd like to read it and get a sense of who the person is. Narratives that say, "Hey, I'm laid back and easygoing, 5'11 and weigh 190 with brown hair".... well that tells me NADA. Insert some personality into it, show who you are. Talking about what you are looking for and what types of women you'd like... well that isn't helpful either. That can be taken care of in e-mails or whatnot.

(Have not read your profile by the way, just saying what I think overall)

sound like a smart kid..nothing wrong with benchmarking...but there will be something wrong if the adjustments that are made to reach or exceed the benchmark is not the genuine you..

I totally agree. I never said I was going to change who I am or pretend to be someone I'm not. Say a lot of women like to see a large list of interests...ok it won't kill me to expand on that. Maybe they wanna here more about my profession, again isn't changing who I am just giving more of what they want.
