Ok more pics

Ok, I'm new to this online dating thing. This is my first shot in a long time, and I think I didn't do that good a job. So can anyone tell me EXACTLY what I need to improve on? Any and all input is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Soe of us are ugly on the outside but are gorgeous on the inside.

Peachie,
Thanks for support those of us who have been "bitch slapped" and left
out to dry. I don't think David's case is any different than mie or any
of the others I have seen on here. It's just we were raised to treat
women a certain way, and in the end it costs us. When we try to change,
something in our "programming", for lack of a better term, won't let us
change. SO we keep hoping and searching for the one woman out there who
will care for us at face value. We all react in different ways. For me
it's getting down on my self about my looks, and doing crazy exciting
things, like running into burning buildings. and jumping out of
perfectly good airplanes. It's all about how we handle things.

David,
I am still looking. I haven't found her either, but I am remaining
hopeful and patient. Keep your chin up.

Too deep. Now I'm down in the dumps.

Not only would I date, but my ex wife is a person who most folks
consider to be "an averag" girl. She also is considered to be plus
sized. So To me it's not about looks but personality. I have just been
told that I should "aim higher" because when I ask out women who are
considered to be average, I am settling.

In all honesty, I am a realist. I'm old, I have little hair left, and I
ain't the most attractive guy on the block. I know my short-comings,
that's why I don't go after the "hotties". Right now, I'm wondering if
I will ever date again.

What doesn't exist?

No it isn't. I mean I do go out, and I also volunteer in the community
so i do get to meet different people and quite a few women. The few
that have interested me romantically have shot me down when I approached
them. So it is either I keep trying or stop trying.

neat and trimmed, but completely clean isn't a requirement. Shoot what
am I saying? At this point, I wouldn't care if she didn't even shave
her pits.

Well I could tell you weren't. I was in Vegas until April when I
retired. I was working too much out there to consider getting laid. So
now that I'm single and a civilian again, how does all this work? LoL!

I don't, but I am also, above everything else, a realist. In other
words, George Clooney I'm not. So I know I won't have a shot with a
women of "movie star" looks. Just as an example.

Scrape too many youngsters off the road every year. In EMS we refer to
motorcycle riders as "organ donors".

Oh she was quite serious. She later told me, that while I need to aim
higher, I should be realistic in my expectations". To me that means I
should know my place and avoid the "hotties".

Strawberry.

I tried to pick up a hooker about two weeks ago. It turned out she was
an undercover cop who knows me and warned me off before I got in
trouble.

Ok I am a realist. I know that all I have to offer a woman is brains,
and humor so I know my limitations. Due to that, I rarely make a try to
date women that I consider "outside of my league". My friend keeps
telling me that i should "try for someone "outside my comfort zone". So
I suggested she go out with me, (she is a gorgeous red head, a former
model). Anyway, she told me, "I said try outside your comfort level,
not shoot for the moon on the first try". To me this indicates that she
was just feeding me a line of crap and I will never have a chance with a
"hot" woman. Any feedback?

I'm just wondering is this an appropriate way to classify ones self? It
has been over 7 years since I last had "the pleasures of the flesh" (17
Aug 1999 to be exact). So would that classify me as a "born-again"
virgin?

I concur. I have had nothing but lousy results. Then again, I also had
lousy results with a local dating service. I think that e-Harmony is
the biggest purveyor of false hope and broken dreams on the planet. if
they think thier so good, why not put their money where their mouth is?
Offer the service for free and sell advertising to support your site.
Most E Business sites do just that.

Mine was very painful, and very scary. I was 18, my g/f was 18. We
were seniors in HS, and felt we were ready. Her dad was the chief
detective for the local police department. Anyway, long story short, he
caught us in their guest house, and while I was running, he took a shot.
I got nicked in the butt (I still have the scar), and we broke up soon
after that.
