Author Teacher's Pet Posted January 25, 2009 Author Posted January 25, 2009 'People who used this humour were considered to be far more desirable as mates.' And as a comedian, it's been working for me for years. -tp who can move it, but can't stop it
Author Teacher's Pet Posted January 25, 2009 Author Posted January 25, 2009 It also tells me (in a weird way) that he is actually aware of the sentient existence of others surrounding him, and is not solely focused on himself. This becomes especially important in the bedroom. I am awesome and amazing in the bedroom. -tp make u sweat
Author Teacher's Pet Posted January 25, 2009 Author Posted January 25, 2009 Remember that the primary purpose of the ad is to get responses so you can choose which ones to pursue, not the other way around. Be honest about who you are, but also sell yourself a little. It's like a resume or an ad for a house. It gets them in the door. (So maybe you should tell them that you're spacious yet cozy. Just kidding.) Have you thought about mentioning your comedy and even sprinkling more humor throughout the ad? Humor is one of your best traits. Also, you're extremely articulate so maybe you should play that up a little. I almost NEVER mention I do comedy in a personal ad.. It always gets my a reply like "Ok, tell me a joke" Comedians HATE when people say that. And saying "You want a joke? Wait till you see my d*ck!" doesn't help. -tp ...so a gay guy walks into a deli and says "I want to buy a bologna!" The clerk asks "Should I slice it for you?" The man replies, "Does my tushy look like a piggy bank?"
Author Teacher's Pet Posted January 25, 2009 Author Posted January 25, 2009 Tomcat, great advice. I'll bet TP might already have some LS material from past posts that he could morph into an ad. Oh yes.. My past LS posts make a great personal ad.... I broke down. Crying. Begging for her to come back (she's already met someone else who she had been talking to online while she was contemplating breaking up with me). Even while I was on the phone with her' date=' curled up in a ball on my bed, I KNEW I was being weak. I knew I was going through that 40 minutes of hell for nothing. She was done with me, and no begging, no pleading, NOTHING would change that. And yet, I continued to beg and cry for her to come back.. I felt so weak, so horrible, so worthless...... And she knew it. [/quote'] *sitting back as the women kick in my door* -tp ya think?
Author Teacher's Pet Posted January 25, 2009 Author Posted January 25, 2009 TP is into recycling? Women totally dig all that environmentalist crap. lol... I only recycle old jokes. -tp what's better on a clubbed baby seal sandwich... ketchup or mustard?
OpenBook Posted January 25, 2009 Posted January 25, 2009 I am awesome and amazing in the bedroom. -tp make u sweat :D:D I think you should put this in your ad. Both sentences.
allina Posted January 25, 2009 Posted January 25, 2009 So, what happened? Any god replies? And by "god" I meant good
Author Teacher's Pet Posted January 26, 2009 Author Posted January 26, 2009 And by "god" I meant good Actually, God did reply. He said, "You have a better chance of getting laid if you convert to Islam and blow yourself up in a disco." -tp aiyaiyaiyaiyaiyaiyai!
movingonandon Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 Well, not a girl, but I think it's kind of whiney. Overall is ok, but essentially you say "pick me please, look at all the great stuff I have" - that does smell of insecirity, and they will think exactly what you *say - well if he''s so great, why no date etc.?. This is the generally the message you want to send, but not worded this way. You should talk about yourself in a way that implies your awesomness and makes them curious, not make it a blatant sales pitch... Also, if you don't a have a pic you will get very little, if any worthwile responses.
Author Teacher's Pet Posted January 30, 2009 Author Posted January 30, 2009 My personal ad is starting to work.... I have ads on like 2 or 3 sites, and I've gotten a few "legit" responses. One lives 2 towns over from me, and we've been emailing back and forth for the last 2 hours.. She's funny as hell, and pretty cute, I must admit. Another one actually just met someone, but wanted to take the time to say "hi" to me, and we've also emailed back and forth a little, but mostly just "as friends"... Nice girl, really cute.. I was just a day or so too late, such as my life goes! I have 2 other (brief) responses, but really haven't had any communication yet worth mentioning.... I hate when you get those "one line" responses... You know they are at least slightly interested, but not enough to actually say anything... Both of them are pretty, so I wrote them both back and tried to get them to open up a little.... We shall see.. If anything, I'm having fun doing this. I'll have to pick out a couple of the more choice emails I've gotten and post them here. :) -tp when it rains.....
Author Teacher's Pet Posted February 17, 2009 Author Posted February 17, 2009 My ad has since connected me with 2 women that I am currently talking to... One is from CT, and is VERY cute, and seems to be a fairly sexual type... The other is from my state (NJ), and is a dancer (and no, before you ask, NOT a pole/exotic/nude dancer lol), and seems very sweet as well. Through the "magic" of another site, I was "matched" with another woman in my general area who is really hot...and turns out we have a mutual friend..... AND... a very close friend of mine is trying to fix me up with a girl he knows... we are currently in the "talking stages" on Facebook, but we seem to have a good connection, as well.... She's cute, and has a pretty "wild side" about her... My friend has recommended me to her, and her to me, and is dead set on hooking us up.. Meanwhile, one or 2 of my usual suspects are still lingering around... lol *shrugs* It's not easy being me. -tp on the scene like a sex machine
Citizen Erased Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 try something new give abstinence a shot :lmao: Can't wait for TP's response...
Author Teacher's Pet Posted February 19, 2009 Author Posted February 19, 2009 :lmao: Can't wait for TP's response... Abstinence? I've been abstinent for almost a year now. I am the cleanest dirty boy you'll ever meet. -tp i wanna hump something!
Author Teacher's Pet Posted February 19, 2009 Author Posted February 19, 2009 The woman that my friend is trying to set me up with is clearly the "front-runner" now. The last 2 nights, we spent at least 5 hours on the phone EACH night.... We've covered everything from music (we're both metalheads with a secret fondness of Toby Keith), food (neither of us eat seafood - well, I eat VERY little, and neither of us actually eat cheese), movies (we're both huge Kevin Smith and Quentin Tarantino fans), TV (we both Family Guy), sex (she's bi and also likes red-headed chicks - she's a redhead by the way heehee), and even politics (she's very liberal on social issues, but seems a little more moderate on other issues) When the conversation got to sex, it became VERY ummm..... Let's just say, we're meeting next week for dinner and I don't want you guys to wait up too late for me. -tp eager to use his shift key
Author Teacher's Pet Posted February 20, 2009 Author Posted February 20, 2009 She's coming over. Tonight. She'll be here in an hour or so. Don't wait up:) -tp oh boy, we're gonna get laid!
ddraper Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 Well, as I do now and then, I posted an online personal ad. I always get a few responses, but you all know what happens next...... mostly Dates From Hell. So... I think it's time I stop "flying solo" and enlisting the help of the ladies of LoveShack to help me out here... Below is the text of my personal ad... I really want some opinions.. I also promise to post the replies I get, if any. I'm going to make this my own little online reality dating show. If anything, it should be a good source of amusement. So....here's my ad, as published on a "popular dating site": (beginning of ad) Here I am again..... Single for Valentine's Day, and hoping to find someone to change that. I'm a fun guy, intelligent, and have a great sense of humor. All my friends (and my mother) think I am great "relationship material", yet I can never find someone that really WANTS a relationship! I mean, I'm not boasting, but I have all the characteristics of a relationship-minded guy: - I'm single (a good starting point, don't you think?) - I have no "ex" baggage (it's been a while!) - I have my own place (though I'm a momma's boy at heart!) - I have a car - I have a job (which is saying a lot these days!) - I'm intelligent (well-versed on current events) - I can cook (pretty well, I must admit) - I have really great friends - I love kids (so I'm not afraid of what the future might hold) - I'm kind to animals (and have 2 cats of my own) - I'm mature in the right ways (hardworking, honest, loyal) - I'm a "kid" in the right ways (love to have fun, play games, laugh a lot) - I'm not a heavy drinker (though I'm quite the talented "mixologist") - I don't smoke (except for the occasional cigar - which is usually when I'm alone or "with the guys") - I cuddle...afterwards. *smile* And yet, I'm sitting in my sweats on a Saturday morning wondering if this year will be any different than the last 2. I know what it's like to be in love, and I miss that feeling very much, but this time, I want it to last. All I really ask for is a woman who can appreciate those traits I posted above. I'm not looking for a supermodel, or a couch potato (though I'll take the latter, since it's fun to snuggle) I just want My Valentine. Your pic gets mine, but say more than "Hi what's up" in your email. I need to know you are for real, and that you are looking for the same thing as I am. As for the "physical stuff", I'm 37, 5'8", heavy build, warm smile, and an amazing hugger/kisser.. The rest is for you to find out. (end of ad) OK.... let me have it. -tp can women really smell the desperation? Well, I am no woman. But I can tell a bad ad when I see one. You have to highlight the attractive qualities and show more of your personality, not a grocery list. That's how it reads. A better way to position yourself is putting the physical attributes first, just to get em out of the way. Eliminate the hugger/ kisser part. You need to project an attractive and selective personality. Would definitely eliminate your dates from hell. So to start with write down what you want in a woman. And once you have your list down well. Put it up but make sure you make it obvious you are selective. In doing so, you will increase your responses from women. Because they will want to know why you perceive yourself to be so selective. Finally, as my last comment, here is a good first email to send to a woman. "You seem like something more than a pretty face, so I wonder how great it must be to get emails from guys who are like "Wow, you are incredibly hot. You are so beautiful that I am not worthy to be talking to you. Please, talk to me and make me feel less like a desperate loser who will do anything to get an attractive woman to talk to me. I mean I'll only end up stalking you two nights a week. But that's the only thing I can do to get a woman like yourself to talk to me. Here, take my manhood too." Those guys seem really enticing, don't they? I know, if I were you I'd be all over them. Then again, if you think you can handle something different, get back to me." You can tailor it to whatever way you want. But, if you keep it along those lines, you should see your responses increase dramatically.
JamesM Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 She's coming over. Tonight. She'll be here in an hour or so. Don't wait up:) -tp oh boy, we're gonna get laid! So what happened?
Author Teacher's Pet Posted February 21, 2009 Author Posted February 21, 2009 So what happened? *yawns and stretches* It was a very enjoyable evening. :) -tp still got it.
JamesM Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 still got it. Okay, let's decipher this phrase. Your wallet?
Peter_pan Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 seems ok. but i laughed out loud at the first one. maybe its an age gap difference between me and you. but yeh i wouldnt ever write an essay. you want them to get to know you. not know your life story straight away if you get me
sunshinegirl Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 Finally, as my last comment, here is a good first email to send to a woman. "You seem like something more than a pretty face, so I wonder how great it must be to get emails from guys who are like "Wow, you are incredibly hot. You are so beautiful that I am not worthy to be talking to you. Please, talk to me and make me feel less like a desperate loser who will do anything to get an attractive woman to talk to me.

Those guys seem really enticing, don't they? I know, if I were you I'd be all over them. Then again, if you think you can handle something different, get back to me." As a woman, I disagree that that's a good first email. Any message which is more focused on bashing your competition than showing me who you are and why you are interested in me is very quickly going in the trash bin. How do you know who else is writing me, and why are you assuming they're all a-holes?
loveme1977 Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 Here's a great video by a gal named vanae who is big on youtube talking about how to do a dating site profile. hope this helps! here it is
