Women turn to internet for truth about their date

Lol! Well, I think most women ARE gonna lie about themselves for a date,which is silly cuz anyone intersted is gonna find out eventually that you're not an Angelina look alike!
Not many people are gonna answer adds for a short 60 year old obese woman with her two front teeth missing!
Gotta be careful, guys and gals! If he/she sounds too good to be true, it usually means they're dog meat!

[toldyou]

HAAAAAAAAAA! I'm saving that one! Too funny!

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

Or who else has access to the genetic information ... especially if this company is later merged or bought out.

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

Tell me about it!

("What a coincidence! I had my dick shortened.")

I about laughed for 10 minutes straight when I read that!! ROFL!!!

[RockinRight]

It's one thing to subtract 5 pounds...or SLIGHTLY embellish ("balding" instead of "bald" or "5'10" instead of 5'9 and a half".) But outright lying is ridiculous.

[tophat9000]

I don't mind weight.

To be honest I don't either, just try to keep it under 200, thin girlish (or boyish) builds leave me cold...

[RockinRight]

I tried "conservativematch.com" for a while a few years back and there were never more than 1 or 2 matches within a 100 mile raidus of me...and most were my MOTHER'S age!!!

Well if that's how you describe yourself, you sound like a nice guy.

Too bad, Laz. "Nice guy" is woman-speak for "you're getting nowhere."

It took me 40 years to learn "nice guy" is actually a perjorative.

[baker_girl]

Nooooo, that's not what I meant.

[RockinRight]

Still can't figure out why women dig jerks...even my girlfriend says I'm too "nice" whatever that means...then I will tease her and she says I'm mean...I can't win!

[Lazamataz]

I'm more the rugged bad-boy type.

[HairOfTheDog]

Don't be so limited. My husband was on the other side of the country when we met.

[Lazamataz]

...even my girlfriend says I'm too "nice" whatever that means

That means 'boring'.

Trust me on this.

[RockinRight]

Well I've got a good woman currently! All my comments were past experience!

That said...if I became an available man once again I may go further than 100 miles...

[Lazamataz]

Let me elaborate. It took 40 years for me to figure this out. Women want 'nice guy' for settling down with, then they will promptly grab the nearest 'bad boy' to cheat with. Well, not all, but many. Women want excitement. They want to feel, not think.

We bad boys are a bit of a challenge. We are a little mysterious. We make women feel. I've had to learn to just be myself, and be confident in that. I've got a nice spirit inside, one that is giving and sweet, but it takes the right woman to make that come out.

For this concept taken to the limit, check out one of the funniest movies ever made, John Landis' "Amazon Women on the Moon." Steve Guttenberg and Rosanna Arquette are going out on a date, and she "checks him out."

I don't know what it means when women say "too nice". I'm old and wise enough now that "nice" is vital to me. If I were ever to have said the words "too nice" it might mean "milquetoast" or "effeminate" - more estrogen than testosterone.... and truthfully, women aren't attracted to jerks, as some think. They may go after guys who turn out to be jerks, but it's not the jerkiness that attracts us. It's the confidence and masculinity. That side of jerks that doesn't take crap from anyone also attracts the part of women who want that on our side. If they can turn that outwards and not toward me, they're OK. Unfortunately, sometimes we find, they are jerks without discrimination about who's down range.

I put in to google a few days ago some personality traits of a "friend" of mine and found out it's called Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Fit him to a tee.

[tophat9000]

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

Yea I don't get this ... I know more overweight women that get their breasts reduced..a 200, 250, 300+ women and they go out and get pert little "B's"...yea that helped
