Would a cad with a sharp sense of humor, but so far, not a lot of meanness, work for you? If it will, I'll have to find out how important "super skinny" is.

Great minds think alike.

I'm flexible on skinny. My last SO wasn't skinny at all, but was in fact most shapely indeed.

I have lost 50 lbs since those days myself and I'm gunning for 225. The LA fitness chick says I've got 180 lbs of muscle mass so no way I can go much below that.

I heard the ad and immediately envisioned a whole lot of "Dads", who may have always held nagging suspicions about the paternity of a child, secretly swabbing the kids and sending off for the results. It is only a matter of time before these tests lead to more divorces and domestic violence, including murder.

(Of course, if my wife had a child by somebody else and let me believe the child was mine, I'd probably want to kill her. Would somebody like me make a sympathetic juror?)

But now imagine that this company somehow screws up the test.

Well, the guy I'm thinking of is really big on "Cad"...

It's mostly a mask I put on here. I'm really not that bad IRL. Maybe a little playful and mischevious. But not a cad.

My last gf in Atlanta said I was the classic definition of the Bad Boy -- iconoclastic, somewhat take-it-or-leave-it although expressing some interest in her, pretty confident, a mysterious past.

The dating service I'm on is Yahoo. So far I haven't had any trouble. On my profile I put my preferences on the marital status to read the following:single NEVER married. Thanks for the advise, I plan to follow it.

Well if that's how you describe yourself, you sound like a nice guy. Not at all a "Cad".

If some woman wants to Google my real name to "check up" on me she will find I am scratch golfer in Missouri, a mayor of a small town in Georgia and a registered sex offender in Oklahoma (I am *really* careful any time I travel through Oklahoma). Of course, I am none of these people but how can she be sure? She'll also find that I write a lot about baseball and football. She'll probably overlook those because they're "about sports".

Well if it's any consolation, I never got many responses either-I honestly think most people don't get that many, really unless they look like Angelina Jolie or Brad Pitt (which few of us do!)...

That said I've seen your page and I think you're an attractive woman!

You forget: Thick = Fat, Voluptuous = built like a bowling ball/sumo wrestler Fat, Average = Fat with no boobs or butt; Athletic = skiny stick with no boobs or butt

I don't mind weight. Many women who are overweight dress and care for themselves well and look GOOD! Then there's "sloppy" and these women are often fat but also can be very thin but dress like Jerry Springer guests-that is not attractive to me.

Thanks :-) I got one guy who thinks I'm not too shabby ;-) I think most of internet dating is a meat market. More power to a Angelina Jolie type because a woman needs every advantage with internet dating.

I tried the Match.com route too. I got two beached whales and a recovering lesbian. The pictures were deceiving as were the women. The short bios were very misleading. I no longer use Match.com.

I tried a "conservative" dating service last year and the only interest I received was from an aesthetically-challengened librarian who voted for Al Gore.

But then the last time I actually went on a blind I got an overweight smoker who told me in the first hour that she had had her breasts reduced. I had to choke back my response ("What a coincidence! I had my dick shortened."). She was driving, after all, and I didn't want to make the disaster worse.

I have a friend who lists herself at 55 on a dating site, when she is actually 62. I cautioned her that ussearch.com has a free service that all you do is enter a first and last name, town where you live, "approximate" age, and bingo.....it provides your current age. Guaranteed all you guys and gals are on it.....I am!

If only women would put a tenth of the time to inquire on the suitability of those they to vote for.
