I'm a keeper....but people keep wanting to keep me in a cage grumble


Well, we wouldn't need the cage if you didn't keep gnawing through the ropes.

Shy guy over here. waving Though I'm going out tonight and hopefully going to force myself into a conversation. I'll surely say something dumb, but I'll just rebound with a few big words. Just need to figure out where to go.

So, why haven't any of the good guys found me yet? I'm not moody, I'm a giver, I can cook (but I don't like to clean, and I can't iron), I'm humorous, I can dish it AND take it back two-fold (as long as you can take the "your mom" retort), I can clearance shop like no other, and I have a stunning personality! Where are the men who want to PURSUE me?? I hate being the hunter...I wanted to be huntED!!! Any of you other women agree with this logic? Do you always want to be the forward one? Heck, guys, if you WANT us, come GET us!!


The way I see it, if a woman truly does possess these kinds of qualities, she doesn't need to announce it to the world. It just kind of naturally, automatically eminates from her.


like a fart bigsmile

Lex,

I have a theory about this.

You are smart, articulate, accomplished and completely intimidating.


I can't even begin to tell you how many times I've been told this....!

And, I have to admit, I still don't get it.

What is "intimidating" about being able to write well, to communicate well? This is what everyone says they want -- but then, when it shows up, it's suddenly "intimidating"?

And yet, I get e-mails all the time using that exact word. What am I missing here? Would I be better off to misspell everything and write like a looser with no sence of humer?


You are clear about what you don't like but make jokes about goats as opposed to stating what you do like.


Yeah, that's true. I guess I've never really properly clarified what it is I do like. But then, on another level, it's not exactly "set in stone," either. I mean, my last gf was almost the diametric opposite (in terms of physical body type) of the kind of gf I was normally attracted to. Of course, a 160 IQ and massive truckloads of artistic talent will generally outweigh everthing else -- for me, anyway.

I may have to think about this.


Women may want to approach you but are afraid after spell checking, they may have used incorrect grammar or punctuation. They may drink socially or smoke occassionally and are afraid you're not interested.


Well, smoking has never been an issue for me. I guess it should be, since it has somehow become a bigger public sin than drinking or walking naked through the subway station, but I have no problem dating a smoker.

And it's not like I expect every word in every e-mail I get to be perfect! Hell, I make typos! I am the worst typist in the world, seriously....it's just that I catch most of the errors before I post -- but they're there.

What bothers me is when it's repetitive mistakes that wouldn't be made by a third grader. That's a problem.


They want the good ones but may be intimidated to approach.smokin


Well, they shouldn't be. It's not like I'm the President of Guatemala or something. I'm just a guy who is good at a couple things, and bad at lots of others -- like most people. The only real difference is, one of the things I'm good at just happens to end up displayed on a website where people just happen to go every day (and, to a lesser extent, in books which people just happen to read).

I don't see how or why that should be considered intimidating....? It's just a thing that I do....
