For once in my life i decided to do a not so nice thing. I placed a fake ad in a singles site. I wrote down in the profile some basic stuff....made him out to be nice, caring, intelligent, romantic and also put in a pic of a very good looking guy. I did this for many reasons, but mainly out of curiosity to see who would be dumb enough to believe the ad was real. Within a few days, i started to get many emails, some voicemail messages, mobile numbers, pics, offers of sex...etc.....it was getting ridiculous!!! And the really sad thing was, that every reply i got was based purely on the guys looks and nothing more. I finally confessed to one girl and told her the truth, mainly cos she slighty suspected the whole thing was fake anyway (well done to her!). She didnt seem too upset by it and we continued to talk. She told me in her opinion, girls are "more attracted to somebody that can make them laugh, respects them and their career and is kind and genuine"....i thought yeah...what a load of BULLSHIT! Now let me tell you, i dont consider myself to be very good looking but i am NOT ugly either and i know that i am a really nice, caring and fun person to be with...infact all the things she said girls are more attracted to. So why is it that i cannot even get any girl to give me 1 sec of their attention. Why is it that when i smile, say hello and be friendly.....they look at me like i dont exist(???)...... This whole dating and relationship thing is based purely on looks and nothing more....women i have discovered are even more shallower than men and what they really think and what they say is two completely different things....and yet they play these little games because they know they can get away with it and then whinge about how they never meet any nice men. The only thing girls want is a good looking guy, with a big dick and a bigger bank balance!

You know, I consider myself to be an above average attractive female. I have the dubious honor of being known among my girlfriends for dating guys based on their intelligence and personality instead of their looks, reputation(length/width of penis or sexual prowness). When I form a relationship, it is based on feelings of mutual respect and interest. I'm sorry if you feel that girls are only interested in your looks, bank balance, and penis. I have to wonder where you are meeting these "women". Instead of creating fake ads to put in singles coloumns, why don't you answer some ads and get to know someone who is probably as disenfranchised with the dating scene as you seem to be? Jessica

Thats not true... Females like a sense of humour and they like all the things that girl told you.. so you are obviously looking in the wrong spot ... try again.. I think what you did about the add was pretty low. Those girls who you call stupid will be wondering whats wrong with them and why havent you answered there mail, phone calls etc... and they wont trust the next male that comes along. What you did was pretty low. daniel wrote in message ... >For once in my life i decided to do a not so nice thing. I placed a fake >ad in a singles site.

OK, that does it! I'm getting plastic surgery, buying a vacuum pump and working two and a half jobs, even if it kills me. But wait, that'll just mean one less competitor and one more woman for a rich, good-looking, well-hung guy to boink...plus more snickering in the basement of some mortuary as a necromaniac geek Fed-Ex's my dong to the Guinness Book of World Records. -- Steve M, Atlanta-GA-USA

Dan, behold the wonders of ASL! You categorically prove something to be true with your experiment, and immediately get 5 responses telling you that it isn't true! And what do you know?? They are all from women! Talk about tooting their own horns. Dan, when in ASL, never, ever imply that women are not caring, loving, considerate, compassionate, oh let's just take just one more step... perfect people. Otherwise you'll go down in flames like a Boeing 737. You might as well change your handle now, bro. I am sure if you had written the exact same post with the sexes reversed, you would have received no resistance. But this is just a joke isn't it? Would be, if it wasn't so true. Dan, I have a heart. So I realize you are not a bad guy and probably are all those things that women claim to want. Yet, they don't see it in you. They claim that's what they want but it's not. You proved it. Just do whaever it takes to get into a relationship and get married to the woman who's right for you, but ignore the lies. -- David H http://www.geocities.com/worsethandeath Updated approximately biweekly worsethandeath@yahoo.com Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

And the really sad thing was, > that every reply i got was based purely on the guys looks and nothing > more. Did you place real information about yourself and did you include your pic in a (different) magazine before? How did the girls and women they react to that ad? I have to say, that I don't find myself goodlooking (red hair, 6 feet - 180 cm, 176 lbs - 80 kg, wear glasses, have a moustache, no beard, 33 years old) but I know that I am friendly - intelligent - have a sence of humor and some women do appreciate that - but I am also High Functioning Autistic. I seem to be very popular for 15 - 18 years old girls, and many women look at me. I still don't find myself extremely attractive. Apparently others find me that way. I would describe myself as a shy nerd (because I fit well in the description of a computer nerd). > I finally confessed to one girl and told her the truth, mainly cos she > slighty suspected the whole thing was fake anyway (well done to her!). She > didnt seem too upset by it and we continued to talk. She told me in her > opinion, girls are "more attracted to somebody that can make them laugh, > respects them and their career and is kind and genuine"....i thought > yeah...what a load of BULLSHIT! I still think that that is not totally bullshit. I see women enough with ugly guys: fat bold guys that smoke and drink way too much! I wouldn't want to have a relationship with one of them, if I were I girl or a woman. And I don't like extremely attractive women. They are often arrogant and pretty (not extremely beautiful) ones often test me out: "How would he react when I look at him for minutes without any interruption?" I feel that they are playing a stinking game, in which they want me to walk into. > Now let me tell you, i dont consider myself to be very good looking but i > am NOT ugly either and i know that i am a really nice, caring and fun > person to be with...infact all the things she said girls are more > attracted to. So why is it that i cannot even get any girl to give me 1 > sec of their attention. Why is it that when i smile, say hello and be > friendly.....they look at me like i dont exist(???)...... I don't know why that is... I think it is because women expect men to take steps. And they seem to get angry if men behave different from what women expect. I have had a lot of problems with girls because I am autistic, and I react different from what they expect. Shy men seem to be out of luck... :-( > This whole dating and relationship thing is based purely on looks and > nothing more....women i have discovered are even more shallower than men > and what they really think and what they say is two completely different > things....and yet they play these little games because they know they can > get away with it and then whinge about how they never meet any nice men. I have a few questions because of my lack of knowledge of English (English is my third language). What do you mean by: - They get away with it (generally I have an idea what this sentence means, but what does it mean in this context?)? - They whinge about how they never meet any nice men? > The only thing girls want is a good looking guy, with a big dick and a > bigger bank balance! The taste might different for each woman, but I have almost no positive experiences with girls and women. Hans Kamp. Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

From the sound of the ad, you were describing the total package - what every woman wants, and the results weren't surprising. You weren't surprised were you? You're a dirty bastard :} Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

I'm 49 and never married, which almost makes me a leper to some people, even though I think I'm an amazingly youthful guy (resemble Orel Hershiser, so a lot of people say). Still, it seems that $$$ goes a LONG way toward compensating for social/physical/chronological disadvantages... at least for men. -- Steve M, Atlanta (thanks for the e-mail)

You know what, all bullshit aside, bottom line, love is a very illusive entity. Personally,right now, I would take it in whatever form I could find it. In the past thought, I will admit to hooking up with guys, just based on looks and money. What else is there in the beginning? You gravitate toward what you are attracted too. You can't tell me that if a Cindy Crawford type gave you the look, you would turn her down because she was beautiful... That would be just as discriminatory. With time and experience I have gained some perspective. When we are so young we have limited experiences and maybe are only attracted to the physical. As we broaden our life experience, we also open up to new choices. That's what dating is all about.

I do agree that women are just as much into looks as men, even though men are more open about it. I don't know if using a personals ad is way to prove that this is way women think since a large number of women won't touch a personals ad because of the danger factor also about all you can express is your physical qualities in a short paragraph. Every guy in the personal ads claims to have a good sense of humor, and knows how to have a good time. You don't see the words "dull" or "looser" in to many ads. My experience has been as woman get older. They are less into looks. Brian Engineer Joke of the Day -How do you tell an extroverted engineer from an introverted engineer?

Well I read the raging augments about being good looking or not. I consider myself to be a bit of alright, however some may disagree, that's there problem. One needs to feel comfortable with ones self. And once you are, the honesty in your heart will shine through. For example, I have a mate who weighs in at just a tad under 200 kilograms. He has no good body part to him, but he pulls the chicks, reason..... No Bull Shit... he's honest, lovable, and enjoys life... Allah his weight... he says his weight bothers him... but hes coll with it... what I am trying to say is be comfortable with yourself, and except who and what you look like. If people do this... they wouldn't end up by themselves.....so just be cool..... and cruise... -- ICQ DANTAN UIN 12024426 EMAIL: dantan@telstra.com ICQ ACTIVE List TASMANIA TALKING #52723669 AOL instant pager name :- smortaus http://www.icq.com/12024426 pager http://sites.netscape.net/smortaus/homepage

You need to get a life or something. Why would you want to do this to innocent people? I think you have way too much time on your hands. What is the point of all of this and why do you feel it is necessary to carry on such a charade?

I agree with this guy. After all your personal add said you were"
nice, caring, intelligent, romantic ". So how far off was that? None
of it true? All of it true? So then its the picture that is freaking
you out? See if you connect with any of them on the phone first,
if so take it like a man. Just suck it up, and turn it around. Just be
flat out, and tell them you don't think your the greatest looking guy,
but your really fun. (you are aren't you?) If they don't what have
you lost? Let me tell you, there a very few guys who are Don
Juan. Even the attractive guys can be full of annoying habits.
What did you think was going to happen in this situation? Now
are you really convinced that girls suck? Do you feel better that
you have really proved it to yourself? That's what you wanted
wasn't it? That way you don't have to look at yourself for the
reason your having problems dating. That's right. You. I'm
sorry to sound harsh here, but I have known plenty of guys
who use the same cop out so they can get away with putting
very little effort into dating or themselves. Just being a man who
is confident will get you a long way. Things in life rarely come to
you. You have to make an effort to get the things you want.
I admit I don't know you, but this is what comes across to me.
Crystal
Who's been lurking from time to time. I had to unlurk today because
I just get so tired of guys blaming women for everything that is
wrong in their lives.

Hi there all, I have been following this discussion for the last week or so. I have read "nice guys finish last". Now that statement got me going. So what my tiny little brain got out of that message was if your nice you finish last. And to be successful one needs to be an asshole? What a loser statement, if I ever heard one before. Talking about the poor me syndrome coming out. I reckon the only reason one would make a statement like that would be.. because they can't get a partner, let alone get laid. So hence the above statement. I am a nice person, I have nice people in my life, yeh sure some have their hang ups. and some have their moments. But we are all human.. and we are allowed to have good and bad days. To state that one needs to be bad to succeed in life is silly. Be nice to yourself, love yourself, show respect for yourself. and things fall into place. But what ever you do. don't ever use the above excuse.. Well yet another soap box address by dantan.. You all have a nice day ya hear -- ICQ DANTAN UIN 12024426 EMAIL: dantan@telstra.com ICQ ACTIVE List TASMANIA TALKING #52723669 AOL instant pager name :- smortaus http://www.icq.com/12024426 pager have a nice day........ :-) http://sites.netscape.net/smortaus/homepage *****END*****

Re: ASL
what do we get from an ASL? It gives us a box to put people in. If we know
their age, sex and location, we tend to make judgements about who they are.
Just like "nice guys" make judgements about traditionally physically
handsome guys. Just like jilted lovers make judgements about the reasons
they were dumped. Maybe it's hard to face the truth about yourself. Maybe
you're not so nice and not so good looking so you loose on both counts and
that's hard to face. It's not such a dichotomous thing. Anyone can possess
any number of traits. It's how you feel when you are with them and that
doesn't come from them as much as it comes from you. Sorry to run on. The
point is we can only work on ourselves, we can't change other people.

so very true from my experience... my first experien ce on the net is still my
most memorable because if was in a chat room where asking a/s/l questions was
not the norm... we'd laugh and make up all sorts of odd combinations depending
on our moods... most of the time we related age to our momentary mental or
emotional age... and sex often got "yes" or "no" or "why?" or other answers...
and location was where creativity really flew around... from in your computer to
behind you to right at the second star and straight on through till morning...
when I got serious, I was usually 4/toon/here :)

this sort of running on has my respect... too many people in this world don't
care enough to really get to know each other... maybe it's just laziness or
fear, but the norm seems to be to seek an easy label or box to identify
others... used to bug me, especially when someone uses their prejudice to assume
they know another and address the other based on their assumptions... or when
the telephone game begins and prejudices are passed around as if they were
facts... but as I've grown I find more amusement than irritation in the
deliberate ignorances of strangers... and I focus my time and energy ourside of
the boxes :)

and working on others is an easy way to avoid working on ourselves... a trap
I've fallen into myself in this life... so thanks for the reminder :)

here is the whole song:
"Everybody's Lonely" by Harry Chapin
Originally found on the album Heads & Tails.
all I got is time, nothing else is mine
all I want is you and one more tomorrow
nothing lasts to long, when I leave it's gone
so I send my mind ahead and hope to follow
yes, I know I have a lifetime coming
but I've got it all figured out
everybody's lonely, everybody's lonely
everybody's lonely, that's what it's all about
I've had my share of heartaches, misfortune and mistakes
occasionally this life has left me battered
but I can't blame no one else, 'cause what I've done to myself
is the only kind of history that matters
yes, I know I have a lifetime coming
but I've got it all figured out
everybody's lonely, everybody's lonely
everybody's lonely, that's what it's all about
now, maybe you'll come with me, and maybe you will stay
and maybe you'll just watch awhile then wander
it seems like all the good things in my life just drift away
but maybe you will stay this time, I wonder
yes, I know I have a lifetime coming
but I've got it all figured out
everybody's lonely, everybody's lonely
everybody's lonely, that's what it's all about
that's what it's all about...
