the only non off-putting parts are "hello" and "please write back" tbh.

yes i am trying to be constructive because i feel bad for the recipient tbqh
― harbl, Wednesday, 28 October 2009 00:16 (sixteen years ago)
avoid "interesting" lines of questioning imo

you should not have a bar of any girl who would reply to a letter like that.
― estela, Wednesday, 28 October 2009 00:16 (sixteen years ago)
constructive = not saying what i would like to say which is more omgwtf
― harbl, Wednesday, 28 October 2009 00:17 (sixteen years ago)
I mean, an ideal girl for me would be one who doesn't get offended when I write a stupid letter. she would be laid back but even if I wanted an ideal girl I suppose I should make my intro letters way less stupid
― What the hell is hamster love (CaptainLorax), Wednesday, 28 October 2009 00:17 (sixteen years ago)
trust me you don't want a girl who wouldn't see anything wrong with that lettersorry
― harbl, Wednesday, 28 October 2009 00:18 (sixteen years ago)
^^ lol! but we're both sockpuppets, so don't mind us. Keep it up!
― sarahel, Wednesday, 28 October 2009 00:18 (sixteen years ago)
i think that's what estela said but i don't know what "have a bar" means haha
tbh the "please write back" seems a little desperate and sad and thus off-putting imo.
― tehresa, Wednesday, 28 October 2009 00:18 (sixteen years ago)
it means tolerate in strine

why does a guy who sends messages to girls on dating sites have to reassure her of how hetero and 100% male he is, unless he's totally gay or only like 86% male
― harbl, Wednesday, 28 October 2009 00:20 (sixteen years ago)
yeah, that's creepy. aside from ethnicity, avoid generalizations about "girls like you" and defending your masculinity.
― Maria, Wednesday, 28 October 2009 00:20 (sixteen years ago)
it's one thing to be defensive about your heterosexuality if like...someone is questioning it? but to introduce yourself to a stranger with "NO HOMO"...
tho it's kinda impressive that you managed to perv on a girl and make me question your heterosxuality at the same time.

he has 4/5 of a penis.

pretty sure he enjoys it on some level abbott...it's win-win
― iatee, Wednesday, 28 October 2009 00:22 (sixteen years ago)
i enjoy it on a level too, it's like being able to stop and give a speech to a guy on the street who has just whistled at you

captain lorax's letter was sooooo written by shiroibasketshoes

my ideal girl would see the things that are wrong in general and not be soo off-put by them. she would be laid back enough to dismiss little mistakes.
yeah that letter was bad, but that's what I get when I try to show off my whole personality. some of it is stupid. some of it has to defend manliness. these are things I thought girls learn to look past (but yeah, not in an initial letter)
― What the hell is hamster love (CaptainLorax), Wednesday, 28 October 2009 00:23 (sixteen years ago)
more hetero than the average guy
this made me read the whole letter again in a Yogi Bear voice

lorax = amazing sock

ts: "little mistakes" v. "personality defects"
― tehresa, Wednesday, 28 October 2009 00:24 (sixteen years ago)
if 'has to defend manliness' is part of your personality, you should consider trying to change that part of your personality
― iatee, Wednesday, 28 October 2009 00:24 (sixteen years ago)
Showing off my god honest self is a mistake for inital letters
― What the hell is hamster love (CaptainLorax), Wednesday, 28 October 2009 00:24 (sixteen years ago)
that goes for anybody tbh
― iatee, Wednesday, 28 October 2009 00:25 (sixteen years ago)
I only had to defend it because my picture has stuffed animals - what would another guy do if he had stuffed animals in his profile pic?
― What the hell is hamster love (CaptainLorax), Wednesday, 28 October 2009 00:25 (sixteen years ago)
admit he was a weirdo?
― tehresa, Wednesday, 28 October 2009 00:26 (sixteen years ago)
dude if it makes you feel defensive use another picture. you don't HAVE to.
― Maria, Wednesday, 28 October 2009 00:26 (sixteen years ago)
not bring attention to them imo
― any old tawny port in a storm (electricsound), Wednesday, 28 October 2009 00:26 (sixteen years ago)
well, most guys who have to constantly defend their manliness would probably replace the stuffed animals w/ a picture of themselves in an affliction t-shirt
― iatee, Wednesday, 28 October 2009 00:26 (sixteen years ago)
why are there stuffed animals in your profile pic? are you a furry?
― sarahel, Wednesday, 28 October 2009 00:27 (sixteen years ago)
I LIKE THAT PICTURE :(see the wdyll october post
― What the hell is hamster love (CaptainLorax), Wednesday, 28 October 2009 00:27 (sixteen years ago)
can furries be manly?
― iatee, Wednesday, 28 October 2009 00:27 (sixteen years ago)
also, male or female, when people don't have a picture of themselves as their myspace/facebook/okcupid, I immediately assume that they're self-conscious about their looks.
― iatee, Wednesday, 28 October 2009 00:28 (sixteen years ago)
okay, note to self - don't draw attention to the stuffed animal pic even if I like it
― What the hell is hamster love (CaptainLorax), Wednesday, 28 October 2009 00:28 (sixteen years ago)
i saw two kinda manly dudes the other day driving in a car with a "YIFF" bumper sticker.
― sarahel, Wednesday, 28 October 2009 00:29 (sixteen years ago)
they should make affliction shirts that say NO HOMO in Fraktur
― ...And You Will Know Us by the BLAZE of YA DEAD HOMIE (los blue jeans), Wednesday, 28 October 2009 00:29 (sixteen years ago)
also consider putting up a picture of you drinking beer / a bottle of hard liquor
― iatee, Wednesday, 28 October 2009 00:30 (sixteen years ago)
maybe pose with a power tool, but not a household appliance.
― sarahel, Wednesday, 28 October 2009 00:31 (sixteen years ago)
the picture of me holding a beer also has me holding a guitar hero guitar
― What the hell is hamster love (CaptainLorax), Wednesday, 28 October 2009 00:31 (sixteen years ago)
women are into housework though, a vacuum could be ok
― Maria, Wednesday, 28 October 2009 00:31 (sixteen years ago)
perfect, make that your profile pic
― iatee, Wednesday, 28 October 2009 00:31 (sixteen years ago)
wow this thread got legendary!
― Tracer Hand, Wednesday, 28 October 2009 00:32 (sixteen years ago)
posing like you're repairing the vacuum might be a good look, as long as you're not showing bad plumber's crack and wearing clean underwear.
