Based on physical appearances alone, yes, I would consider dating you.

If you are having difficulties on the dating scene, I don't think it has anything to do with your looks.

Ordinary looking women are too. I went to Hawaii just recently for over a week, and I didn't see any women I thought were really good looking. Not even one.

right, and how does that relate to the OP's dating profile or pictures?


The ordinary looking women viewing his profile probably think they're great looking even though they aren't.


People don't say to themselves "Hey I look like crap, so I should give every man who looks like crap a piece of arse".
It simply doesn't work like that. People, women especially, want someone they are actually interested in. If someone doesn't spark your interest, why would you want to talk to them, even if you look like the arse end of a bulldog?

It's not simply about looks.

Another fallacy, where's your research? and how this research of yours measure the effects of things which are 'more than pictures' (other than wealth which can be measured).

you know i have the research to back it up, but people rarely bother to read it so there usually isn't any point in posting it. i don't make claims that i can't back up, in spite of your flawed perception. but since you asked so very nicely:

http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/do ... 1&type=pdf

(nice job implying women are gold-diggers too. i am not surprised you'd pull that card)


I didn't imply that women are gold-diggers, stop putting words in my mouth; you bitter.

did you read the research or did i actually post it for no reason?

and bringing up wealth when wealth was not mentioned was definitely making an implication. it's your same old tune, so i am not so naive as that.

i have no bitterness. :lol:


Do the researchers realize that women are much less likely to write long texts on their online profiles? Go browse some profiles on okc, women are less likely to write significant profiles compared to men.

Anyways, oktrends shows that wealth is important but you're blaming the prostitutes. It's something i mentioned because it's one of the few things that can be easily measured.

were we talking about wealth in this thread? no? then you're resurrecting your opinion about women being after money. not interested.

please actually read the study, then we can talk about it.


and were we talking about photos' effects for men vs women, no? ;p you're implying your opinion about men caring only for photos. :P

I have no time to read the whole study, but table I says it all, so I know where you're coming from now: free-text have weak impact on other attractiveness dimensions (in women, last column) ; shameful for men, I admit.

However, figure 3 shows that attractive photos are very important for the whole attractiveness of the men's profiles as well (ugly looks ~= low whole attractiveness).

But I've said before, women's profiles are morel likely to be very brief and short, and i don't think the study is taking this into account (if yes, please quote).

I think his real name is Dick; he can't change that.

But he's a teacher!! Teaching is a very attractive profession for women (no hyperlexian, i am not referring to wealth here).

WHY some Anglophone parents pick a such name for their babies??

Well this time I made a lot more changes:

http://www.pof.com/viewprofile.aspx?profile_id=36162303

Took out all the sexually suggestive material and wrote some pretty interesting stuff...well let's hope so. Let me know what you women think so far. I am sure it still needs a lot of work. Anymore advice? I will actually be doing this water-powered jet pack thing this Friday and I will have video and photos taken of me doing it. Maybe I can post some photos of me doing that on there and on here. You women like guys who are unique right? If trying out a jet pack isn't interesting or unique...then I guess I will remain dull to women no matter what I do. Anyway, can you ladies check out my profile now and let me know if you feel sparks or if it is still missing something...

Mister Starfish? That just makes you sound rubbish in the sack.

The description is a bit cliche, but then again, what would I know, I'm not really the average girl, I like weird things about guys most women don't care about.

Haha yeah the username sucks I know. I can't seem to come up with a decent name that doesn't sound stupid argh! My description is cliche? Well I am hoping that the description of my first date isn't cliche either...

I would enjoy dating a woman who is open-minded and willing to try new things. E.G. Willing to try exotic foods, go para-sailing, hike mountains, go see a stand-up comedian, etc, because you haven't before. I would like to meet a woman who is spontaneous and likes to laugh. I enjoy being with a woman who likes to have deep conversations for hours at cafes, in front of a fire, or even up til the wee hours of the morning.

Some parts of this definitely do not seem cliche...but you meant the "about me" section right? Yeah...needs a lot of work. I suck at this stuff.

My advice is to leave the profile as it is and stop wasting any more time on it.

Online dating is all about the looks; having great looks is the only way to go on online dating, text and username are only important if you already have great looks, otherwise your overall profile's attractiveness will remain low.

Go give English lessons to some Asian women instead: money + new people.

I dont feel like being flamed for my views in this argument so ill widthhold them. But one thing is for certain here. You people always claim that people are individuals, yet you throw this concept away when it suits you to group them all up. This is done by both sexes BTW and its anoying. Pick one idea and stick to it atleast

I don't see why you're complaining that only Asian women like you tbh, either, they're cute, probably a lot cuter than the white girls rejecting you.

Boo, non Fabios do have success on dating sites. Maybe they don't have women flocking to them, but it's all about appealing to the right kind of woman, wanting the same things and being able to keep their attention for more than 5 minutes.

I like how a perfectly innocent question/photo upload turns into this. :silent:

It isn't just a question. He's actually asking for help, also.

I think you're very handsome. You have nothing to worry about! And if an Asian girl is going for you, go for her! Asian girls are very sweet and adorable, and she'll probably treat you well.

Try not to worry so much about how you look, after all, looks fade over time, and all that people are left with are their character, their intelligence, or their talent. Or all three. Or two at random.

Focus on yourself. Because looks fly faster than a bird in the sky.
