Depends. What color is the llama?

Think carefully -- this could be a trick question!

[And everybody knows llamas are bulletproof, right? How else would they survive in the icy waters of Uzbekistan?]

I have now clicked 18,922 consecutive NOs on my Mutual Match candidates. I assume this is probably some sort of record; although, just in case, I will continue to click NO until I reach 100 billion or so. Which shouldn't be difficult, by the looks of it.

The profile snippets accompanying the MMs are almost always disconcerting to me. I have been laboring under the misconception that the whole purpose of a profile is to tell you something about the person behind it. Apparently, I have been misconceived. Because "I don't know what to write here" really doesn't tell me anything about the person, except that they're either very lazy or very stupid or terminally indecisive, none of which are exactly what I would call relationship incentives.

"Anything you want to know, you'll have to ask" tells me that I'm really not all that interested in finding out. If you have something to say, say it; I have no desire to waste a lot of time trying to pull it out of you.

Pictures are another troublesome area. My favorite is the pic with 2 or more people, and they never tell you which one the profile belongs to. So now I'm supposed to guess. Given my history with guessing things like lottery numbers and World Series winners, I don't think this is a good idea.

The "cleavage shot" is another sure-fire winner. If she thinks that's the only way she can get my attention, she's already out of the running. Lots of people have boobs, and I'm sure a lot of theirs are better than hers (an arbitrary distinction, but what the hell). If she can show me she has something upstairs, we'll deal with the lower floors later.

Other non-starter pics are Woman Holding Baby, Woman Holding Alcoholic Beverage, Woman Kissing Ex, Woman Wearing Clothing 12 Sizes Too Small, Woman Giving Finger To Camera (how original and rebellious!), Woman Posing In Tragically Inappropriate Swimsuit, Woman Passed Out On The Floor, and Woman Grabbing Her Own Boobs. It almost sounds like last week's "America's Funniest Videos" or something.

Dating Site Trivia: Did you realize that there are over 600 billion people in the world who are "laid back and easy-going"? Makes you wonder how anything ever gets done around here....

tongue2

And some people have the nerve to tell me I'm too "selective"....



you forgot other dandies as 'woman slamming hoagie into her eagerly-awaiting maw', 'woman brandishing weapons because she can', and 'woman using her driver's license photo for her profile'. those pics are more of a hoot than anything else.

you also gotta love the ladies who start writing about how they're fun-loving, spontaneous, and affectionate...

... only to fill the rest of their ten-page diatribe about how they DON'T want you site mailing or IMing them if you just want some nookie, aren't what they'd consider friendly, eat twinkies, etc. that's hardly fun-loving, spontaneous or affectionate at all. :laughing:

I hate to post this, because I don't like to be critical, but speaking of the photos women post, what's up with the ones that men post of them without their shirts on? A lot of them would look more attractive if they'd leave their shirt on. Maybe some of them do it as a joke, do you suppose? what

Sexy Lexy Lexicon.....

I completely feel your pain. I adore the professional photos of men and their dogs, which happens to me quite a bit? Who knew....really. This is done.

Then there are the guys standing by a really big truck, which I call a "fruck". (Substitute a motor bike 45% of the time) The guy is so small and so far away all you can see is a baseball cap and too tight jeans.

A third fav is the guy drunk at the bar with his dudes. All are glassy eyed and ETOH is spilling out of at least one proffered cup/glass. Just as with the ladies, you have no idea which one is the member.

My final favorite is the guy with 17 pictures, all wearing sunglasses, a ballcap, and taken from a satellite orbiting Saturn. Oh, and they are from the side. At least your sunglasses/hat pics are close up and hawt.....

The narrative? It reads " I like sports and music and what can I say I like people and am fun guy looking for fun. I'm laid back and I'm an open book. Messege me if you want to know more."

The only other version of this reads like this:

"I'm laid back and fun and I love my kids. They are my world so if you don't like that I'm not the guy for you. I'm 5'10", 175 pounds, and I like college football and spending time with my kids. I work two jobs and my divorce is almost final, but I'm ready to find that special lady who won't cheat on me and wants a nice guy".

I think this is a plot actually. The guy thinks "If women see that I can develop an attachment to a dog, they will more readily believe that I can develop an attachment to them," only they think this thought more slowly and in much simpler terms. These are often the same people who are struggling with the concept that a dog is not a person; they give their dogs beer, take them to the monster truck rally, whatever it is that guys who think dogs are people actually do.

I still like the dog pics better than the fish pics, because a guy who has developed a sentimental attachment to a fish is only looking for trouble on a mean site like this one....!


Then there are the guys standing by a really big truck, which I call a "fruck". (Substitute a motor bike 45% of the time) The guy is so small and so far away all you can see is a baseball cap and too tight jeans.


The "I can't differentiate myself from my vehicle" syndrome. Apparently, there are millions of men whose entire identities are wrapped around whatever it is they drive. This has never made any sense to me. I mean, OK, I can see someone basing their existence on a computer, a toaster, a TV, maybe even an electric can opener (but it has to be one of the REALLY NICE ones, not something from the poorly-lit clearance aisle at the back of Wal-Mart) -- but a vehicle? Hell, all that does is get you from Point A to Point B and use up a lot of gas money. I could get a mule. And take a picture with him.


A third fav is the guy drunk at the bar with his dudes. A
ll are glassy eyed and ETOH is spilling out of at least one proffered cup/glass. Just as with the ladies, you have no idea which one is the member.


Yeah, there's an environment I want to get in on. As if it wasn't already hard enough to keep my brain cells working, what with having to read -- and I use the term loosely -- "profiles" on dating sites, now they want me to deliberately go to a place the whole purpose of which is for people to act stupid and destroy their own neurons. Hey, I've got a TV if I want to do that.


My final favorite is the guy with 17 pictures, all wearing sunglasses, a ballcap, and taken from a satellite orbiting Saturn. Oh, and they are from the side. At least your sunglasses/hat pics are close up and hawt.....


Yeah, but as you know, I stole those from a Ben Stiller/Bruce Lee lookalike site awhile back.

The "billion light years away" pics intrigue me, though. It's like -- what's the point? The person could be an amoeba (and apparently understands photography about as well as one) for all we can tell.

There was a girl on here awhile back, who asked to have her profile rated -- so I looked (I was young and foolish at the time) -- she had seven pics up, all head shots, almost all exactly the same. There might have been a 1-degree turn of her head from one pic to the next. And I told her she might want to think about trying some variety in her pictures, and she got mad. (Never mind she had ASKED for comments.) OK, sorry, so every picture you take for the rest of your life is going to be exactly the same?


The narrative? It reads " I like sports and music and what can I say I like people and am fun guy looking for fun. I'm laid back and I'm an open book. Messege me if you want to know more."


See, every profile in the universe is like that. Now I know who started it!


The only other version of this reads like this:

"I'm laid back and fun and I love my kids. They are my world so if you don't like that I'm not the guy for you. I'm 5'10", 175 pounds, and I like college football and spending time with my kids. I work two jobs and my divorce is almost final, but I'm ready to find that special lady who won't cheat on me and wants a nice guy".


Remember that movie "Groundhog Day"....?
