Also, talking about a TV show as a conversation starter is really lame... like REALLY lame, especially when you come off as a fanboy about it.
You also spelled some things wrong in your message.
Stop watching TV, get off online dating, and you might find a woman (read carefully: woman, not girl).


She also said she liked Dr Who though. It's like Star Trek, when somebody says they like it, they like it. It's not like saying you like How I Met Your Mother or House. I think it was fine for him to bring that up first since she had it in her profile.


That's an odd assumption. If I say I like the Simpsons, does that mean I've watched all 20-30 something seasons?


I would imagine that if you mentioned it in your profile, it would be because you really like it. I wouldn't think somebody would mention shows they just watch if they happen to be home when they are on. I'd think that if you mention it in a dating profile you should have seen a lot of it and probably even have the DVD's.

If I were single and some guy messaged me with a Highlander reference I would be all over that conversation and probably be friends with him even if we never dated.

When you get 20 messages per day then yeah, you would start treating your prospects as shop items.

"Thank you for your message. Unfortunately, you are not a good match for me. Good luck in your search!"


She probably copy/paste that message 10 times a day since she always has like 10 other options.

This is all due to the gender imbalance on dating sites (excluding women who are there just for quizzes and friends), the males are a cheap commodity there, like job seekers on job boards - women are like the employers of the job boards.

I disagree. If you want to find someone compatible, you should let your freak flag fly. It'll wean out the lukewarm responses right away. :)

I agree, I mean look at me for example, some women on WP (and in this thread) put Dr. Who figures but I choose to not use them as conversation starters with them - since that's the only good thing they probably have, Ha! Seriously, no matter what show they watch those will still the most annoying women ever and I wouldn't even want to touch them with a barge pole.

Do you think someone is hearing us?

Your country may not be representative of all countries. Both the women and men in my city complain a lot about the lack of options and lack of responses on dating sites, which indicates it might be an even balance. I'm sure NYC has way more women.

You just live in a traditional society where women might be less likely to put photos of themselves on the internet. Studies show that women take religion more seriously also, so maybe it has something to do with the rules of Islam and photos also. No idea. Just a guess. I know, when I lived in Arkansas among conservative Christians, it was pretty similar. Way too many dudes and hardly any women.

It must be difficult thinking about half the worlds population in terms of "fckable or not". :roll: Go masturbate until you can think clearly.

And you go masturbate with a rainbow dildo till you get some humor, seriously, what my teasing joke post (aimed at Major) has anything to do with population and "fckable or not"?

redrobin, why you don't close the f*****g door?

It's not lack of humor not laughing at bad jokes. Making bad jokes is. You either think WP is a dating site, or don't get the expressions you are using.

Cry me a river.

It's clearly you who thinks of the world in term of 'fkable or not' because my post obviously, no matter how bad of a joke might one finds it, has nothing to do with this, in fact sex wasn't on my mind at all as it's obviously shown in my post, the barge pole idiom has nothing to do with sex, it's you who took it all sexual to the extreme.

You projected your own dichotomous thinking on it.

So now am not fkacble for you! Yay! What a relief.

The ten-foot-pole did sound like a sexual reference. Like some women he would love to touch with his three-inch stick and others he wouldn't touch with a barge pole, assuming he could lift one. :lol:

You watch too much weird porn :lol:

The barge pole idiom means not wanting to get involved with someone under any circumstance, it has nothing to do with fkacble/not fkacble. Period.
