I'd click the back button if I saw that.


I thought it was really funny because of how bad it was. I lol'd. Sometimes people can be funny by pretending to be gangster, like OGFurious on YouTube.

I don't respond to online profiles with ab shots either, I don't know if it's because I'm autistic, it's just not my thing (I wanna see your face, not your man teats!) Not wanting to see you half naked is not the same as not being visual
but you have to understand, if we don't like what they think women like we're super liars and thats terrible...


Interesting that you aren't willing to respond to men with shots or their abdominals, you have stated in the past that height is very important to you. That's quite the contrary statement and you have mentioned before that height is a determining factor when you are selecting a mate.

I hardly believe that, are you saying that you never ignore a lot of unwanted messages?

I have a green dot on Okc, 'replies often'. I do get messages from guys who I just don't feel I would be attracted to, sure, but I rarely get the 'unwanted' messages from guys who are clearly incompatible. I am not their type, physically. I could make myself up and wear skimpy clothes and post a pic that makes me look like I am their type, but why would I want to do that? Just to get more hits? No thanks.

and so am I.

Well that's great. You want to attract the typical female, so all is well for you!


Why are you assuming that these girls are really skimpy simply because they find someone attractive based on physical attraction? You don't really know the character of someone until you get to know them and that's not something you can show straight away. I have been getting messages from intelligent women that are studying at degree or doctorate level so I can't understand why you would assume that only promiscuous women like a good appearance.

Showing a good physique is a display that you have devotion, determination, discipline and that you take care of yourself.


you will be long dead in 200 years, and no one will have a desire to dig you up and f*ck you.

you are placing much of your identity in your temporary body, and when you get old and frail, you will be without the adulation you claim you engender.

you spend all of your mental energy in the blink of a "geological time frame" eye, and you will be dust in 500 years. no abs or anything.

i guess it is good to honor the temple of your current existence, but i hope you know that the older you get, the further away from your ideal you will become.
if someone bases their identity in their body image, then they have the impossible task of maintaining their body for as long as they wish to enjoy that status.


i do not know.


What makes you think that physically working out somehow makes me lesser in mental aspects? Working out to a disciplined routine involves mental willpower and discipline, it isn't something that somehow takes away from your intelligence. No one will care less, you're right but what matters now is the moment and feeling good in the moment so we can either roll the dice, take a gamble and chance or just sit around in some library waiting for everything to fall in our place whilst debating about our God superiority complex of pure intellect.

You seek shelter in wisdom but you won't find it, I seek shelter in simplicity and that's a more achieveable goal. I'm not out to be the next president of the United States or the next Einstein, I'm simply someone who came to these forums with the hope of bettering myself, learning and helping others, I think I have done that to some extent.

It seems that people wish to question mine and Boo's motives simply because something has worked successfully, it just goes to show if you aren't on the level of negativity as other people on this forum, they will always find something to criticize.

If you don't mind sharing, how many women have asked for a second date, Wolf? Have you met any of these women in person? Are you not having luck AFTER they meet you, or are they just not up to your standards after you've met them? I'm really curious, is all.


I have been on second dates and I have had successful meetings from the site and I am set to meet more, I have even met people from this website on a friendly basis as well. I'm open minded and I am willing to give anyone a chance on a personal level if there is a mutual attraction between us, I'm not doing anything immoral because I haven't committed to anyone. If I don't feel a physical or mental attraction, I don't have to be obligated or justify anything, I am direct and I wouldn't date someone if I didn't feel attraction towards them. If me and Boo wanted to run down Times square shirtless,I don't see how that would have any negative effect.

People seem to be judging these women as if they are not modest, typical or that they are only interested in impersonal or casual dating when that is simply not true. Women are visual, from women with doctorates to women that work in Hooters.


I'm just curious. I haven't gotten a lot of experience on online dating websites, so I wanted to see your perspectives on it. I never assumed anything about those women; I just wondered whether or not you were finding anyone, and I wish you good luck on finding someone.

Firstly, we've been over this before that I stated height as a general advantage for men, not as a personal requirement, so false
even if it were true, it couldn't be a contrary statement, taking a topless photo of yourself is an action I don't particularly respect or find attractive (regardless of what the body looks like), height is a characteristic not an action, so you're still drawing a weird connection (with a false premise) to try to discredit me instead of addressing anything I said, how interesting :roll:

Not contrary. The equivalent of not responding to a man with a photo of his abs is not responding to a man with a photo of him standing next to a giant ruler so you can see how tall he is, i.e., he wants that to be the first thing you notice about him and wants you to find it important.

Yes let's. I tried to way back on page 2 right after you brought up the term "typical females", but you kept going :tongue:

Fair enough, I understand what you are saying but what if someone has a photo of up as an athletic achievement? Or uses that photo to attract someone that is into fitness, martial arts or has an active lifestyle? If anything, a good body should show that someone likes routine and discipline so it would actually be more suited to someone on the spectrum.

I mean you aren't going to upload a photo of yourself sitting on some bench with a can of beer if you are looking for someone that is into an active lifestyle and body shots are great for men on the spectrum because they may not be able to express a wide range of expressions or particularly show many expressions in photos.

Not exactly because she may not find it attractive, there are many women who do find it attractive, respect appearance and they are willing to be more forward about it as I have shown in examples. If you believe that looks are no determining factor and these women aren't visual to a certain extent, you are kidding yourself and putting women on a pedestal to white knight them.

There is a difference between trying to say what women like in general and trying say that a particular woman is like every other woman, as DogsWithoutHorses has already said. From what I saw of your conversation you were getting these two things confused.

Also I am not so sure that the majority of women would respond well to an ab shot. Even if they found it attractive they might feel like sluts if they went after guys like that. I think most young women can get sex pretty easily, so my understanding is that women generally go online if they are old and/or not very good at finding guys who are interested in a relationship. Of course people and dating websites are different.

Hmm, I think that would be easily achievable with a basically "neutral" type pic (as in, not really explicitly trying to point out a particular feature, etc) by using a full-body (clothed! lol) action shot or similar. The shot of the abs can then quite happily sit in the album section, as the profile text will explain the motivation for it.

Have you ever been on Oasis Active? Plenty of guys say they value fitness and health while putting up a main pic of them out drinking with their mates. :roll:

For all the women complaining about abs shots and how it wouldnt attract their type of woman, then maybe we arent trying to attract the type of woman who complains about such dumb things

I did say that (although not the "complaining" part, I've only been trying to enlighten / give a particular viewpoint). I also said that that's totally fine. I think when I did that, it was assumed I was being sarcastic, but I wasn't.

There's a difference in the way you go about it though.

If you just post a photo of your abs and you are on a dating site.... I don't know, there's something about that which seems a bit strange to me.

If however, you post a photo of you surfing (or doing martial arts, etc) or other such hobby and your abs happen to be visible, that seems to be more platable. At least you are showing something that is important to you, and you are also showing why. If people don't get the why, I can understand why they might be a bit put off or at least unsure about it.
