No vomiting on the carpet, cat!

Someone who is constantly reaching for and digging through their carry on bag.

Someone who consciously dominates the armrest.

Someone who talks across you to their buddy across the aisle.

Someone who tries to keep their laptop out when they ask to power them down.

Someone who needs a pillow. Then a blanket. Then help getting their carry on down. Then back up. Then about ordering alcohol. Then can I have a water to take a pill. Then how about some headphones? Then... then... then... the steward[ess] hates you too - guilty by association.

Someone who steals the SkyMall catalog.

It really really really really depends-

It only works on the right person...
And only if they have the right tattoo (and maybe the right reason). In the right place. With the right attitude. And "right" depends on the person.

And there are way way way way too many people who have tattoos that are just some shade of wrong.

Consider my not having one to be a vote in support of COOL tattoos.

I don't know how to make this a clickable link...
This is the readers digest global poll - a clickable map, very nice:

Did you say "it's not propaganda", and post a link with "Obama's plans to destroy America" in the URL, in the same post?

How about something a little less biased - here's the Reader's Digest compiled view of the election from a global view:

http://www.rd.com/your-america-inspiring-people-and-stories/presidential-election-08-global-poll/article102098.html

Click on any country. Our country is the only one where the poll is even close.

And even within the boundaries of the USA - I haven't seen a poll showing McCain in the lead at all, at any point.

Funny thing about your "They're taking a poll on AOL!!!!"...

Once upon a time, around the invention of the telephone, they used this new tool to conduct national surveys to try to predict the president. Result of the telephone survey? Landslide Republican.
Result of the election? Landslide Democratic victory.
How can this be? Only the rich had telephones at that point in time.

Very very similarly - who still uses AOL? Largely the extremely conservative, who were willing (for some reason) to pay $25/month for dialup when other services out there were $10/month... now not even AOL charges anymore, but they retain their customer base. You see no bias in that?

Try looking at what the rest of the world sees.

I've found one thing: When I'm standing in a room and find myself in the minority, chances are good that I'm wrong...
...in this case, with such a large chunk of McCain support coming from the prejudiced and ignorant, it paints that picture even more strongly, IMO - because not only isn't he ahead (even in this country), but a good chunk of his support is fundamentally prejudice and ignorance based - which would make him even less ahead, if those votes weren't allowed to count.

LOL!
Well there's a ringing endorsement!

lol... I know what you mean. I'm kind of envious of that matador guy though - he's about 20 pounds off from being a full blown professional wrestler size guy! But in a good way... and I could never pull off the long hair thing. But I always pictured him sort of the opposite of Mystery... actually legitimately attractive where Mystery has to rely on his tricks - intersting to hear you do think he's attractive!

This is the constant theme with McCain support...
Ignorance! It's beyond propaganda too...

Whether it's "Obama is a Muslim" (not true)
"Obama has terrorist ties" (not true)
"Oprah's is behind Obama" (not true)

Oprah was neutral through most of this campaign, hasn't given financial backing (at least not as far as we know, lol) - and in fact when she discussed on Larry King Live that she supported Obama over Hillary Clinton, her ratings took a nosedive - Oprah is watched by a very conservative audience. And she didn't really give any specifics points that would comprise an official endorsement. Regardless of who she's voting for, there's no real endorsement, much less any muscle behind the Obama campaign.

I absolutely can't believe the extent of justification that McCain supporters are going to...

I'm anxiously awaiting the results of this election, if for no other reason than just to prove that there are more open-minded people who are willing to vote based on issues, rather than prejudiced people who fear "a black man" in the office, or ignorant enough to believe [without even thinking about debunking] that Obama is a Muslim, is a terrorist, are afraid of his middle name, or any other reason.

To me, one HUGELY important issue is global affairs - Bush has destroyed our once respected standing in the world - now we look like militant bullies, rather than a pillar of reason.
If you look at global poll results, it's unbelievable we even have a close election. The polls are close in this country - around the world, the average is close to NINETY PERCENT favoring Obama, TEN percent favoring McCain!
That alone should throw red flags for McCain supporters...
Personally, I want to join the world again, and earn our respect back. Right now, we are like the red headed bully kid from The Christmas Story, as far as the rest of the world is concerned. It's time to invest in global affairs! Not ignorance.

Absolutely - in fact I can be so negative sometimes as to assume that most "really beautiful" ladies are annoyingly high maintenance types... that's more of a turn-off than their beauty is a turn-on, if it's true.

The total balance is what's important, the whole package...

I'd never, ever date a girl based solely on her looks - but her looks might grab my attention and make me curious to find out more. It's how nature works - the very answer to the question "what do you find attractive?" you are naturally tuned into recognizing it.

To be fair with this question, let's say there were two girls who were equally interesting, intelligent, nice, and fun - and I was more attracted to one than the other - I don't think that is shallow. What I'm attracted to is personal to me, and no reason NOT to want that.

The implication that it is wrong is where I think these threads derail from reality... attraction is natural, regardless of whether you are open-minded or not.

That's the whole catch...
Attraction is about working with what you got. The host himself has said he's naturally awkward looking.

The cool part about the show is that they show these guys how to be charistmatic, how to create intrigue in others, and the psychology behind communication.

If that guy walked into the room with that goofy look, people would look at him and definitely would say "what's with that guy?" He's different.

This season isn't really as good at last year - they showed the lessons and made more points about that stuff last year.

It's not always shallowness.
Attraction has to play a role if there's going to be a sexual future... otherwise it's not dating, that's just friends.
I love making friends as much as anything!

I suppose there's some guys out there who just want to F#$%... in that case they aren't interested in a friend regardless.

No, but Craigslist totally rocks if you want to find really horny spam robots to date...

Yep! I see it right now!

I had lots of sex with a married woman, a while back.

Eventually she divorced me.

Wrong forum... But rock on, dude... that's the coolest thing I've seen on here so far. I need intresting friends like you!

THAT


is worth starting it's own thread!!!!

Anyone? Ladies?

Also taking referrals... anyone with friends, relatives, cute younger sisters/cousins/step-sisters who live in Western NY / Southern Ontario...

Seriously - any thoughts on my profile as it is now? Still an empty inbox.

...like you'd have a problem dating.

I'd think you'd be more likely having trouble finding a guy who could "last" in bed with you, lol.

Honestly, I might be looking at your profile saying "if she's that hot, and is on this dating site - what's wrong with her? There's got to be something..."


OK, the short answer? YES!

Of course - wouldn't every woman already know that's basically how I'd expect EVERY "nice guy" to think?

Just makes me MORE puzzled on this whole "bad boy" thing...

Amen! That's how I try to roll!
I'm proud to be a gentleman - and happy to let the woman set the pace for the physical stuff.
I like to please her, since I can always get myself off... so no hurry.
But isn't it nice when she just can't seem to help herself? Isn't it "being nice" to give her what she wants, and strive for more than she was expecting?

Oh man...
More of ignorant America...

I actually saw clips of someone at a McCain/Palin rally - their reason for their overenthusiastic support of McCain/Palin (ie. attending a rally)?

"We don't like that Obama is a Muslim"
No kidding.

Obama would probably be in like flynn if it weren't for people NOT voting for him on purely ignorant reasons - like that one, like racism, blind partisan support, etc.

That he actually has the lead at this point DESPITE all the ignorance out there really is commendable - it almost restores my hope for America!
