I would find that very encouraging. Especially since you got more than a courtesy " me too". You should shoot her back a text that says something like " have fun on vaca, can't wait to see the new shoes when you get back"

Well played sir.

Real men don't talk about shoes, send the same message but say bikini wax instead of shoes

Danny · 02-18-2013, 05:12 PM

Though in seriousness I would actually type out vacation unless you are in college or something. I find women usually like it when a man talks like they are educated and not like a college frat guy

Meh. IMO using shorthand in a text is perfectly fine. Ymmv.

It's fine, but I think being thoughtful enough to not text like that helps set you apart a little bit.

It's also a pet peeve of mine so any of you who are trying to woo me, remember to use full words

Success = shoe shopping after our date (she had just broken her foot and was headed off on vacation this coming friday).

So I guess we won't be able to do anything until she gets back, but presumably since she got back to me at all it didn't go horribly. So that's encouraging.

I'd say that's progress. That's about when I heard from my girlfriend after our first date. Then Sandy came along.

3 exclamation points in a cellophane politeness text. Weird.

Danke. Been four months, and we've won each other over, it would appear. So, that's progress.

I just heard that men supposedly have commitment issues.

This is untrue. I have no commitment issues.

No commitments, no issues.

Sounds like a great app concept.

General question, do you guys list your incomes? Is it tacky when a female does it?

There is zero reason to do this unless you're trying to compensate for some flaw or some such. But no, there's nothing tacky about a woman doing it. I mean, if she makes a lot and she's online clearly not having any luck. And if she doesn't make a lot and is posting it, she doesn't care.

But again, absolutely no reason to do this unless you want to impress a particular kind of woman and even then, seems like if you make enough, there'd be other options with a higher degree of success.

M GO BLUE!!! · 05-10-2013, 04:06 PM

Right now I don't even have pics up... I'm just a browser.

I don't think either party should. I honestly wouldn't even look at that line on somebody's profile...although I would look to see what their job is (just because that's usually something you can work into a conversation).

Martha should do it for kicks.

Well, Match only allows you to select the $150,000+ level as the highest bracket. I remember reading she had her date "preference" at $150,000+.

I know this article is two years old, but I had to laugh at it:

Why Do Smart Men Date Less Intelligent Women? - Uri Friedman - The Atlantic Wire

"CNBC's Nicole Lapin doesn't think Carney's onto anything. Smart women have the same incentives as less intelligent women to date smart men, she contends: "First, if there is indeed more competition for [smart men] ... we all know that we 'Type A' working women love a good fight. Second, smart women don't shut their brains off on the weekend. (Shocker: Smart men don't either.)." To prove her case, Lapin recalls being turned off by a guy on a recent date because he didn't get an allusion to Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart's "I know it when I see it" ruling on pornography in Jacobellis v. Ohio (1964). I mean, c'mon! How do you expect to win the girl without a firm understanding of legal precedent?"

To the linked article (Counterpoint: Smart Chicks Date Smart Guys ) within the original linked article:

"I'll give you a personal example to back that up. I went on a fantastic, fun first date recently. After dinner, we started talking about what he looked for in a woman. And he said, "I know it when I see it." And I said, "like obscenity?" And then there were the crickets. "Huh?" he said. And, that, my smart NetNet friends, is when the date was over for me."

Dear lord...is this the standard men have to deal with these days?
