I don't think men understand the kinds of meta-analysis most of us are capable of conducting in 3 seconds in person or with 5 words online. It's kind of scary.

First thing I thought of.

Having been on the receiving end of it many a time, I'm sure I understand.

I'm sorry Rex. We can't help it.

Do you have big boobies?

Well, first they look at the pics and then immediately click away if they don't like what they see.
Men and women aren't THAT different.

The fact that you can't tell from my confident posts on Fark is just one example of what TFA was getting at.

Trust me. The last blind date my friend set me up on, the flicker in her eyes told me "no, you're never getting in these pants." Had a nice friendly time and never saw her again.

Pics of your kids in your profile?
Talking about requiring honesty?
All caps?
Only a face shot and more chins than a Hong Kong phone book?
Mentions religion more than 0 times in your profile?
I'm hitting the next button on all of those.

I could go on. . . .

Post one flattering face pic and show me your flat tummy.
That and proof of lack of STDs, and homeownership might get us started.

Any time I feel a bit crabby about being married, I take a look at stories like this and realize "at least I'm not going through THAT."

Although I bet if I were a younger man I could reel in women by the boatful with come-on lines like "Overweight misanthropic loner with rare skin disease seeks blind Rachel Weisz lookalike with trust fund."

I don't need any seconds or words. People (though in my case women as those are the profiles I read) are big liars.

You'd better be able to write coherently. I don't mind a few misspellings, a clunky thought here and there, but illiteracy is a big turn-off.

OTOH, I can have a long email correspondence with someone and never really feel like I know who they are. You have to meet them.
That on-line dating stuff--it just doesn't work too well.

Not true, unless you're fat. And that's just my personal preference.

This. When I look at someone's profile pic I always think to myself "Is this the face of a man who could have several torsos in his basement?". If the answer is yes or maybe, then click away.

On a Jolly Roger, sure. In a basement? Unless it's on that can of varnish, then no.

So is it ok if i have them in the freezers in the garage then?

My suggestion:

Be more attractive.

prose and cons

So they're looking at our writing styles... and whether we have a criminal records?

What about bodies in the garden? It kinda messes with the root vegetables, but the tomatoes are superb.

Carrots and onions love bone meal, so your best bet is to grind up the bodies if you want root vegetables.

That's what I tell my buddies. If you want a woman who is this, this and this. You should be her equal. That goes for the women, too.

/of course, higher in one category can compensate for lower in another.

But because of your suffering in this life, you will be studly in the next one.

Don't be fat - it's a deal breaker even for other fat people.

"God, no. We were introduced through friends like normal people."

So if you don't like what you see (re: fatties) you immediately click away.
How does that make my statement "not true"?

I tend to follow a strict no-torso policy when dating. Although from the looks of this thread I might be limiting my options somewhat.

Several meaning three or more right? Two would be fine then.

So, what you're looking for in a man is a good looking guy who is comprised only of a head, two arms, and two legs.

"looking for a man with a sense of humor"

um, because your last man didnt laugh at your stupid shiat?

I don't think anyone said that. But you can't dispute the fact that we have to be attracted and/or have a physical connection to someone.

No way. You should fall in love with a fat, Cheetos-stained gamer because, deep down, he's really a nice guy. Honestly. I mean, he obviously loves his mother since he still lives with her. How's that for dedication to your family?
