I somehow just got into this thread today :sadbanana: , started a match.com account earlier and would love some feedback on the profile... (I know it needs some work).
I would be happy to give you a guys take on it. Krista is great for a female take. PM us both.Happy to help, if I can.

and then he'll doubt you....
Woz,Really now. I have been one of your bigger supporters and defenders. Read this and the thread with squidrope if you don't believe me. Sorry, if this about my "3 some" comment and if I mis-read you. *IF* indeed you have tons of experience with 3 somes....then chirp up. However, based on some of your posts and how you have handled ceratin situations if didn't seem likely. You have to admit you have opened yourself up for some critism some of it waranted and some not. Just my .02.You know it's funny, Krista was a big fan of yours, as was I, yet lately you are taking shots at both of us.Happy to chat in a PM if you like. Not sure where this is coming from.

Well guys, I met a gal on e-harmony that's moving roughly 600 miles to give it a go. We've been talking for about a month. We meet in person for the first time this weekend. She's a biker and shoots in the low 80s. Also is 9 years younger. Any advice for the first date?
Wait... what? She's moving to be closer to you? And you haven't met?
Bass.....please be careful.This does not sound good. In fact I would be down right concerned for her wanting to pack so quickly. Just remember if she is the one, she'll always be there. You can develop the realtionship over time. Don't rush this and don't encourage her ro uproot her entire life.Good luck buddy.

Sweet, PM(s) sent :bag:
This guy has potention :thumbup: . Looking forward to hearing your stories.
Oof, I have to say even though I only live 10 miles outside of Philly, so far the pickings are slim on the initial search... :X
 
actually have a few good leads at eHarmony and still have one going at P.O.F. - have not had any dates yet, but I have been busy and postponed any meet ups until next week due to drafts and driving to Montreal on Friday for the weekend.

Shared Politics...... I must have someone who has political beliefs which are the same or similar to my own.

One of them had the above as a Must-Have, how much do you want to bet that she is a Dem.? I just don't see that kind of attitude coming from a Repub.

 
Further to my earlier point about the racial make-up of my eHarmony matches, the following are the people who've initiated communication with me so far:

5 Indian

4 White, non-Hispanic

2 Arab

2 African-American

2 Asian/Pacific Islander

1 Korean

1 Other (appears middle Eastern)

I closed a few out whose race I don't recall, but presumably it would be about the same proportions.

I just find it odd.

Really not that odd at all. If you had checked "must be a GWB lover" box you'd be getting a larger proportion of that minority.
 
So I met up with the PoF guy at the dog park today. He's cute and he has a gorgeous German Shepherd. We are definitely going to get together sometime when we have more time to spend!

 
I'm starting to think Woz isn't real...

and that's hard when I've been sick of hearing people saying that about me for like 5 years now...

But no way does someone take this much crap from people for screwing up as badly as he does... then suddenly he has some good luck and doesn't say a word about it to the rest of us...

No way...

 
i think keys has confirmation woz exists.

we also have confirmation you exist.

he is slowly but surely letting out the details.

Just wait til a drunk night and bam we will hear it all.

My date was supposed to be last night, but we only got the time down, not the place. She hasn't logged on to Match in several days. I sent a short reminder email yesterday morning (looking forward to tonight - where are we going to meet) - but she hasn't even read the email. That was my first email to her since last Friday, so I've not been anything close to smothering here.

I really don't think this is a blow-off, but maybe she's swamped at work or something - or maybe worse (I hope not). I guess we'll wait and see. :kicksrock:

Alright, I'm going to stand up for Woz here.Yes, he's real. Yeah, he's a little too sensitive, and he should be giving us details, but to be fair--we HAVE been giving him a ton of #### lately. Most people would blow it off, but that's just not how he works.He'll give it up, and he'll go back to being the same old Woz we know. He just needs to blow off a little steam.

There's really not much else you can do at this point. If you keep sending e-mails, she'll think you're a nut when she finally gets to her in-box & see's a bunch from you. If it's something else besides her being busy/distracted for a bit (tragedy or she's blowing you off), more e-mails aren't going to help with that either.

This happens every once in a while--don't worry about it. Most likely, she just settled into a relationship (actually, this is 100% the reason when it's happened to me).

That would be a bit odd because she contacted me first about 10 days ago. If I contacted her first I'd more believe that she's in a relationship and just responding to me to be nice or something. I do think it is because she's swamped at work, but we'll see.

Not what I'm saying, gb.She found someone and got into a relationship around the same time you were setting things up. Hence, the reason for the delay, and now, no contact.

:thumbup: It doesn't even have to be an actual relationship. She may have just met someone with potential and wants to see where it goes, therefore she's suddenly not real interested in meeting anyone new.That's a tough thing about this iDating stuff. The volume of new contacts means the rankings (hers and yours) are constantly changing.

She's probably dead. You should send her an e-mail asking if she is.BTW, Are You Alive Guy closed our match last night. :yes:

:goodposting:this has happened to me a few times the last 6 months. girls fall of the map for no explainable reasons. it sucks, but you gotta live with it. i say no more than two casual attempts to contact her. btw though, this is why you should always get digits while making the date plans.
 
I have to say that I think everyone tries way too hard to be clever or funny in their initial messages.
This is so VERY TRUE!!!! Maybe it is my age (32) or my level of maturity, but it is not longer cute when a guy asks me how many frostings will be needed to make a "double decker" cake and then proceeds to invite me over for cake, or asks me what shirt I prefer and then proceeds to tell me he will wear it on "our first date" or goes out of his way to make himself look stupid to get my attention. I have mentioned to DaVinci multiple times that I would probably never re-marry if something was to happen to him (just because I do not like the games guys play) until last week. I was browsing the soups when I was approached and in a very nice manner the guy said, "I'm sure you are asked often and I hope I do not offend you, but are you married?" I replied that I was indeed married (with children) and no I wasn't offended. Of course, then he started apologizing, but the whole exchange was refreshing and too the point (which is preferable...at least to me).

:hot:
Just wanted to say that the two examples given by the OP (frosting and shirt comments) are neither clever or funny...You don't need to be Henny Youngman, but a little humor goes a long way with an initial contact...If you can make her laugh (especially in an email) you will defintely stand out from the crowd of boring/similar messages she will be getting...
 
I went overboard on the cheese (10 out of a possible 10) this morning, I will let you know how it goes...ME: SUBJ: wow

Hi ~You seem pretty cool, do you play frisbee? Drop me a line if you want to chat or in my case laugh.Cheers,-<Alias>
HER: SUBJ: RE: wow
Well, I don't "play" frisbee necessarily, but I am up for a lesson, which most likely will provide you with a lot of material.That is pretty cool that you are both in finance and comedy. How long have you been doing both? Do you have any gigs this weekend (aka what are you up to?)<HER>
ME: SUBJ: frisbee, the real endurance test
Hi <HER> -I am still very much in the gathering material stage as far as gigs go. "Playing" frisbee is a lot like throwing the discus in the olympics which I am sure you have done before based on your athletic resume, just a lot less spinning around and you should not feel as dizzy upon release :hot: I actually do not own one at present, it's kind of hard to play frisbee with oneself, but now that I know that I have an able partner I think it might be worth the investment.I am actually driving up to Montreal tomorrow for my friends' wedding celebration (not sure what to call it, they got married earlier in the summer) - should be a good time, last time I was in Canada we stumbled upon the 151st anniversary of the first <MY_LAST_NAME> settling in Canada, it was pretty bizarre being surrounded by thousands of our relatives all wearing name tags with our last name on it.I'll touch base with you next week, if you are not too busy training for a triathalon maybe I can give you that lesson.Cheers,-<Alias>

Banker, Look, I apologize. I'm pretty sure you guys are smart enough to realize that I play up some of my stupidity on here for the sake of entertainment. I lead a pretty boring, serious life and run in crowds where people don't have the balls to either do stupid things or laugh at people when they do. So, this is refreshing. However, it was getting to the point where it wasn't just friendly poking fun but using me as the butt of jokes for issues I wasn't even a part of. If advice was given to me it was given with a "here, dummy, do this but you'll screw it up anyways." Frankly, it got old. I guess it's partly my fault because I have been using people's suggestions and have come upon a windfall of success the last couple of weeks and didn't really clue you guys into it. Ultimately I guess I'm done wallowing in whatever it was I was in (just now finally starting to fully get over the ex - it hit me hard) and wasn't willing to put up with the doubting or poking fun comments because it no longer reflects my mood. So I guess my hesitation with sharing the last couple of weeks can best be described with the analogy that I'm a bit hesitant to pay the guys fixing my leaking roof because they have kicked my dog while doing it.

Funny is good. Most cross that fine line and jump into corny. I like a guy that sounds sincere and can show some depth, without sounding dull. Throw in a little humor and you are golden. I am in the "not looking" stage right now. I might just stay there. If I accidentally trip over someone interesting, then so be it.

No offense Woz, but that's the worst analogy ever...but if we're going to stay with that pained analogy,I would say it was more of you not wanting to pay the guys who are fixing your leaking roof because you didn't like hearing that indoor trampolining with a spike on your head was the cause of your roofing problems in the first place

Ultimately I guess I'm done wallowing in whatever it was I was in (just now finally starting to fully get over the ex - it hit me hard) and wasn't willing to put up with the doubting or poking fun comments because it no longer reflects my mood. So I guess my hesitation with sharing the last couple of weeks can best be described with the analogy that I'm a bit hesitant to pay the guys fixing my leaking roof because they have kicked my dog while doing it.
No offense Woz, but that's the worst analogy ever...but if we're going to stay with that pained analogy,I would say it was more of you not wanting to pay the guys who ar efixing your leaking roof because you didn't liek hearing that indoor trampolining with a spike on your head was the cause of your roofing problems in the first place
:X (was trying to see if anyone got the Cam Neely Sportscenter throwback)but using your analogy they don't have to come outside, tell me i'm an idiot, then refer to me as such for the remainder...
 
I somehow just got into this thread today :bag: , started a match.com account earlier and would love some feedback on the profile... (I know it needs some work).
I would be happy to give you a guys take on it. Krista is great for a female take. PM us both.Happy to help, if I can.
and then he'll doubt you....
Woz,Really now. I have been one of your bigger supporters and defenders. Read this and the thread with squidrope if you don't believe me. Sorry, if this about my "3 some" comment and if I mis-read you. *IF* indeed you have tons of experience with 3 somes....then chirp up. However, based on some of your posts and how you have handled ceratin situations if didn't seem likely. You have to admit you have opened yourself up for some critism some of it waranted and some not. Just my .02.You know it's funny, Krista was a big fan of yours, as was I, yet lately you are taking shots at both of us.Happy to chat in a PM if you like. Not sure where this is coming from.
Banker, Look, I apologize. I'm pretty sure you guys are smart enough to realize that I play up some of my stupidity on here for the sake of entertainment. I lead a pretty boring, serious life and run in crowds where people don't have the balls to either do stupid things or laugh at people when they do. So, this is refreshing. However, it was getting to the point where it wasn't just friendly poking fun but using me as the butt of jokes for issues I wasn't even a part of. If advice was given to me it was given with a "here, dummy, do this but you'll screw it up anyways." Frankly, it got old.

Fair enough...You defintely take your share of crap...Glad things are turnig aroudn for you...Getting over a relationship can really really suck...
 
I have to say that I think everyone tries way too hard to be clever or funny in their initial messages.
This is so VERY TRUE!!!! Maybe it is my age (32) or my level of maturity, but it is not longer cute when a guy asks me how many frostings will be needed to make a "double decker" cake and then proceeds to invite me over for cake, or asks me what shirt I prefer and then proceeds to tell me he will wear it on "our first date" or goes out of his way to make himself look stupid to get my attention. I have mentioned to DaVinci multiple times that I would probably never re-marry if something was to happen to him (just because I do not like the games guys play) until last week. I was browsing the soups when I was approached and in a very nice manner the guy said, "I'm sure you are asked often and I hope I do not offend you, but are you married?" I replied that I was indeed married (with children) and no I wasn't offended. Of course, then he started apologizing, but the whole exchange was refreshing and too the point (which is preferable...at least to me).
:thumbdown:
Just wanted to say that the two examples given by the OP (frosting and shirt comments) are neither clever or funny...You don't need to be Henny Youngman, but a little humor goes a long way with an initial contact...If you can make her laugh (especially in an email) you will defintely stand out from the crowd of boring/similar messages she will be getting...
Funny is good. Most cross that fine line and jump into corny. I like a guy that sounds sincere and can show some depth, without sounding dull. Throw in a little humor and you are golden. I am in the "not looking" stage right now. I might just stay there. If I accidentally trip over someone interesting, then so be it.
Eh, depends on the girl - in the email exchange I posted above she had this in her profile:"looking for someone to play outside with me and laugh at my corney jokes. "

for some women corny = :bag:

For me: I am not sure why I am being singled out here, there are certainly other poster here who have been bad (Not me). Other than the 3 some comment, I can't think of many times I have been hugely vocal about critizing you. As mentioned there are certainly multiple responses where I have indeed stuck up for you. The i.fight with squidrope is a fine example.I have tried my best to help and others with their profile and sharing some of my own failures and success. I don't think that can be debated or argued.My apologies if I have offeneded, I will make a more conscious effort to be more constructive when responding to your topics or posts.

this is idating, not B & M.catching notice is a must. I agree with TU here. In real life if you approach a girl and just introduce yourself that can be effective.I dont suspect that sending an email thats says."Hi I am Bob."Will really get anywhere.

:goodposting: It's fine man, no biggy. Probably the reason you set me off was because I didn't associate you with being part of the hating crowd. Same with Krista. So then the rips actually dug instead of made me roll my eyes.
 
Where's Otis been???

I'm still looking through some ladies in my area, there are a few attractive ones; I must say I'm surprised at the sheer number of women in my area though, even within a 5 mile radius.
