JMU is basically a public Ivy.

Yeota, good profile but you don't need an apostrophe in martinis.

multiple views would usually mean theres probably enough interest to use one of the "hey are you stalking me?" lines.

I'm drawing a blank on the grammar in

"The specific activity doesn't matter less as long as there are people who I can do it with... "

Is there a word missing or one too many in there?

"Studying sociology at JMU didn't work out so well."

I don't think that needs to be in there.

Never been a huge fan of the whole "food, water, oxygen" thing. It's a bit done to death, might as well provide something useful to the girls about you.

Rest looks pretty money

You ever have that reaction where you are looking at some girls pics and most of them you are like oh she's really cute, then you come across that one pic of hers where you are like uhhhh what happened here. Would you still message that girl or just go next?

With pics I'm always more concerned about

1) grad pics
2) myspace angles
3) girls that look like they could get fat
4) and then I had 10 pounds anyways

No, I'm not. If a girl is 28+ and is posting pics from her first grad, trust me you're 75% likely to be rick rolled. If she's young, obviously makes no difference.

Gotcha. I thought you meant you required a grad pic to prove education. But let's not open up that can of AIDS debate again.

Jeez. I have a really wide range. Set up a date with a 37 y.o. Asian Milf. And another with a 25 y.o. Mexican baby mama. Both sexy tho. I'm white, fwiw.

For anyone interested, I have decided to exit the dating game. It's more important to focus on work; I'm saving for a new car.

This isn't that last of me though, I'll be back in the game in the fall.

You gotta have better pictures than your current ones, especially for your profile picture.

"I enjoy performing stand-up comedy"
"I’m really good at: making people laugh"
"I spend a lot of time thinking about: jokes for my stand-up routine"

And yet your profile isn't funny. Show, not tell. People won't remember what they read, but they will remember how they felt.

Chau gets girl's number while driving

Clearly the dude has balls, is good looking, and has a natural charisma, but match him up against a 2+2er with similar attributes who knows how to talk to women and Chau would get crushed in the "challenge". His only non-terrible advice ITT has been a line he borrowed from an OKCupid blog.

I have a first date later today with a girl who is very pretty but I can already tell has very low self esteem. She told me multiple times already that she's depressed. She says it's due to stress from her internship and grad school thesis, but wtf, who tells someone they're depressed before even meeting them. I've been nothing but upbeat and positive in my messages. All her messages end with something like "I hope you still want to meet me..." Should I be worried?
