The pic with the comedian is fine, just not as your main profile pic.

Also, I've seen Rich Sommer is several contexts outside Mad Men, and I don't think he's ugly or creepy. Kinda doughy though.

Don't feel like listing high max ages is optimal even if you would bang them. I always just stuck to 1 or 2 years older than me. Thoughts?

Ok so I got messaged by a reasonably attractive girl a few days back. I messaged back, had a conversation, and eventually got her number. But she's seemed very disinterested in all our conversations. She types in simple sentence structures with no syntactic variation whatsoever. Every once in a while she includes a "lol" or a "haha" in there, but other than that, nothing. She's giving me almost nothing to work with, but I think there's a non-zero chance she'll be cooler in real life cuz she's into martial arts and some other cool IRL stuff. So should I just say "hey, so wanna have lunch?" or something like that or just forget about her?

This is annoying, but plenty of girls do this...if you got her number, I would certainly ask her out.

I'd say just forget about her. What would be the point of meeting her? To have more bad sex?

3 coffee dates lined up for Monday evening. My plan is to start with cheap coffee dates the first meeting, if we vibe then we're going to a lounge and drinking, and I'll move in for the kill.

Yeah I have a few coffee dates lined up, though I'm unsure if I'm attracted to one, and probably not the other, but both have been ok to talk to so far.

what is the ratio to people looking for a girlfriend/love to people just wanting to hook up itt?

0

What should I do with religion? I'm an atheist, but I feel like there's not much good that can come from saying that in my profile.

I would leave blank, or Other and Laughing about it.

I guess I am looking for both.

Meh, I put other and not serious at all

I for one would prefer a proper girlfriend over a FWB, but I'm not going to turn the latter down if it came about (unlikely since I don't get a second look from any girl that even remotely seems like a candidate to be one online)

Tao of Wu

These 35-45 year old cougars are looking awesome!

What's a good message to send to cougars? Or should you treat them the same as the 18-27 year olds I've been targeting.

This is a good idea. I usually just do a drink or two at bar A and if things are going well move to bar B. It's cheap to go on a bunch of dates and easy to leave after 30 min. if there's no attraction.

I had 3 dates where going in I thought "ehh, she could be cute but I can't tell from these pics" and each time I wasn't attracted to the girl. Now I won't waste time with dates unless I'm sure she's attractive.

I'm agnostic and list that on my profile and for the questions part on OKC I answer a couple questions pretty strongly anti-religion so I'm never matched up with someone who takes religion seriously. I'm probably more on the find a gf rather than find a quick shag end of the spectrum so I try and find girls I know I'll get along with.

I'd probably be more straightforward and aggressive rather than any game playing you might do with younger chicks.

Funny story, I was messaging a girl who's 32 (I'm 28) and she says something like "you're funny, but I don't want to be anyone's cougar". She was 4 frickin' years older than me! Then again, I'm in conservative Omaha, NE so probably not the best place to be trying to attract cougars.

Well, I'm trying to find girls I'll get along with too. I just feel like there's a pretty big social stigma against atheism, and that might be enough to make a mildly religious chick who would have otherwise messaged me reconsider. And while I don't really wanna meet anyone deeply religious, I don't really care about normal-level religiosity.

Whoever made the fake account of the 20-something Asian girl, well-played

Uhhhhhhhhhh...You sure this isn't fake?

I've just booked flights to Ethiopia then one way to India (leave in June) so I'm obviously not after anything long term. I'm assuming it's a bad idea to mention this in my profile?

Wouldn't say no to a mildly serious short term relationship though. The kind of thing I had last time I went backpacking would suit me fine.

Depends on your age. In your 30s, where I am, a lot of women want to see 'ambition', which I think is another way of saying they want to see that you've done something with your life. It's not perfect, but a good salary will reflect this. I post my salary on Match because many profiles I look at say they want a guy with certain (like say 75K+ or 100K+) salary. I wouldn't call that gold-digging necessarily, esp. if they have accomplishments in their own right.

It's a little depressing that the majority of my profile views since I posted my profile here have been from you guys...

Blank is definitely better than ____ and laughing about it, you don't want to offend those Catholic girls.

Are you in the USA wutang? I'd say it's quite the opposite over in Europe regarding religion. It's pretty much dead with ppl under 30.

I like when the profile pic is of two girls. It's always the ugly one lol.
