If you two crazy kids can’t make it in this mixed up world of ours, what hope do the rest of us have?

LMAO. Never know what the future holds ;)

Shadarr:

Do gay guys like shirtless pics? Because women on OKCupid complain about it all the time in their journals.

I’d say it depends on the site and the shot. The same guy I linked from POF has a profile on a gay-oriented site that only allows you to see one photo if you’re not a paid member and the one he chose there is a face shot. The POF shots just look like he’s saying he’s comfortable with his body. The ones where people are showing off their bodies are pretty obvious. That doesn’t do anything for me.

I may message this guy if Scrax doesn’t throw himself at his feet first. I feel inadequate having less than 30 interests listed in my profile, though. :P

Kids? Isn’t griddle like 40? If anyone is a “kid” here, its me.

Naa, I’m 37, almost, but not quite 40. I act about 12 though, as evidenced by my post history.

To contribute:
One of the first few Women I messaged on PoF was a dancer, and danced with her daughters which I thought was really cool. So I sent her a PM stating that, and how I enjoyed her profile, and expressed interest in a possible meeting out in public. I was met with a wall of jaded, bitter text stating that I just cut/pasted my profile, and that I should die in a fire or something. Didn’t put me off that much, but man, some folks are angry at receiving genuine compliments. People suck sometimes.

Not if it is an obvious “Hey, look at my hawt bod in my bathroom” pic. But if they sneak in a pic from the beach, or water park, that’s totally acceptable.

Mookeepooh:

A couple of weeks ago, but we’re still friends. I just don’t want him getting grief from people on here anymore because of me. Wasn’t the intention of being on here, was supposed to be fun. I can always talk to him on the phone :)

Aw, now you are going to make us feel bad. Sigh, QT3 gets in the way of another pair of star-crossed lovers.

I mean Griddle and Demon clearly.

madkevin:

But she’s not your wife. She’s your girlfriend.

Uh-oh, looks like madkevin’s being an Angry Catholic again.

Who are you to say that she isn’t? By what definition? If I call her my “wife” and she calls me her “husband,” by what standard do you have the right to say that we’re wrong?

Shadarr · 2009-11-09T17:32:54.000Z

And if I call myself a doctor, who are you to say I’m not?

Rimbo · 2009-11-09T17:33:53.000Z

I dunno, what kind of doctor are you, Shadarr?

Shadarr · 2009-11-09T17:38:28.000Z

I have a dual-degree in psychoanalysis and psychotherapy.

You guys suck at this.

kerzain · 2009-11-09T17:52:28.000Z

Tsk, Dr Spaceman is better that outright rudeness.

Rimbo · 2009-11-09T17:58:09.000Z

Bringing this back on topic, maybe the key to dating is to hang out around Biology departments and try to meet as many doctors as possible. I actually remember that back in my college days – you could see the pretty blondes who would hang out around the Biology building, trolling for pre-doctors, to try and get one on the hook early.

Sad.

kerzain · 2009-11-09T18:00:42.000Z

Sad? That’s the circle of life.

Can she be compelled to testify against you?

Griddle:

Yes, and I’m just focusing on my kids for now.

Dude, you might think about trying to date people your own age.

And also ones that don’t share quite as much of your DNA.

Demon_G_Sides · 2009-11-09T18:17:50.000Z

Dear god, stop discussing Rimbo already! Take it to PM’s if you have a problem! i’m okay with being off track, but this is fucking ridiculous.

tiohn · 2009-11-09T18:19:41.000Z

From now on, please don’t discuss anything on this or any other message board. Take it all to PMs so that Mssrs. Sides and WarrenM don’t get upset. It’s really bad for their complexion.
