We all know he's a superb catch, but he needs some inspiration, especially for an opening line. At the moment it's something forgettable like "boring bloke seeks chick". It needs to be short and cute and attention-grabbing (not unlike Antigone, well the cute part can be correct on his good days anyway). And if you can think of other stuff to put in there, that would be good too. The prize is that Antigone will name his first-born after you. 1, 2, 3..go. |
what's wrong with that? |
|
|
"Boring bloke seeks chick who can think with his penis"? |
"I am personally responsible for the sins of the world." "A special and unique snowflake" "Penis Genius seeks chick for brainstorm. |

You don't sell a car on its engine performance while knocking its hubcaps do you? |
|

So any help would be greatly appreciated. :-) |

You got nice legs -- pose in shorter shorts. Y'know/like the those gym shorts guys wear to play hoops in. (The short ones/not the pro- baller-length ones.) Here's what he said abt himself (minus the personal stats): -------------------------------------------- The tip of my iceberg Last great book I read: Kahlil Gibran's 'The Prophet' 'Nonzero' by Robert Wright Mary Gentle's 'A Secret History: The Book of Ash #1' Most humbling moment: The time I sang George Michael's 'Faith' in broken Japanese in front of my sophomore Japanese class... Favorite on-screen sex scene: Janeane Garafalo masturbating in 'The Truth about Cats and Dogs' Celebrity I resemble most: I look like John, sing like Paul, bullshit like Ringo, and wander the earth like George. Best (or worst) lie I've ever told: I don't lie. (That might be it...) If I could be anywhere at the moment: ...I'd be everywhere. (It's a quantum thang...) Song or album that puts me in the mood: Just about anything off Heather Duby's 'Post to Wire' or 'Thru With the Two Step' from Robert Plant's 'Principle of Moments' The five items I can't live without: Consciousness. My cat. Mu. MP3's. Truth. Beauty. That's more than five. I need more than five. Fucking sue me. Fill in the blanks: Eyes closed is sexy; Eyes open is sexier. In my bedroom, you'll find: Questions...so many questions... Why you should get to know me: Jesus Christ owes me $5. I sweat ambrosia. I'll listen. Some people call me the Space Cowboy... More about who I'm looking for: Honesty. Intelligence. That's it. --------------------------------------------- Well, it's not godawful but it cd definitely use a bit more wit & humor. Thanks to all this talk abt salsa I'm hungry now & I can't think when I'm hungry. Lemme get some lunch in my tummy & I'll try come back w/some suggestions. (Did you consider posting a picture of you w/yr cat(s)? You definitely get Cute Points when the ladies get to see yr cats. But do NOT pose w/yr car -- I hate when guys pose for ads leaning on a car.) |
girls will walk all over you. |
and no cats no cats if you were going to change the picture i'd go with the shadier more mysterious black and white type |
Antigone, you sound substantive and well-rounded and interesting in your ad. I made a passing wince at the mention of "the Prophet," but if that's the truth, that's the truth. Please, though. No cats. |

1) denim shorts which AREN'T cutoffs look stupid on everyone. I haven't even told my husband this, because he wears them, but I feel I can help. No denim. Other fabrics..yes...cutoffs...yes... 2) wifebeaters only look good in colors on women; for a preference, a loose t-shirt is preferred. Loose t-short, cutoff shorts 3) i understand the desire for the body shot, because you're trying to establish up front that you've got a good bod...but closer up on the fave; maybe just a torso shot...and go artier. way artier. 4) i thought it was funny and smart and self-confident and intersting. were i interested in dating outside my marriage and zip code, i would probably respond. 5) not lying at all is unnatural. |
|
Why did you wince at "The Prophet," Rhi? |
1) Culinary suicidal - will eat garlic icecream and toadfish. Together. 2) Poetic Geek - Can construct haiku and write code. Not necessarily together. |
whence adv. From where; from what place: Whence came this traveler? From what origin or source: Whence comes this splendid feast? conj. Out of which place; from or out of which. By reason of which; from which: The dog was coal black from nose to tail, whence the name Shadow. -------------------------------- Usage Note: The construction from whence has been criticized as redundant since the 18th century. It is true that whence incorporates the sense of from: a remote village, whence little news reached the wider world. But from whence has been used steadily by reputable writers since the 14th century, most notably in the King James Bible: “I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help” (Psalms). Such a respectable precedent makes it difficult to label the construction as incorrect. Still, it may be observed that whence (like thence) is most often used nowadays to impart an archaic or highly formal tone to a passage, and that this effect is probably better realized if the archaic syntax of the word without from is preserved as well. |
but at least your usage is correct, cyst. my favorite uppity feminish phrases involve misuse of I instead of Me. "I couldn't believe that greasy, chauvinist asspipe was even talking to Esmerelda and I." |

HAHAHA i know i can't spell, but i'll be damned if i don't loves me grammer. |
|
"Darling one, read my words and hear my heart speak of a love soft and undying: a love that will be with you always. Sincerely,' yatta, yatta, yatta" oh, and don't forget the ever important 'No Fat Chicks' |
it's not bad, but it's not what i would put on a personal ad. you look like you're posing, and you have too much of a shit eater grin. hope that wasn't too frank. the only other thing i would change is the sexy sexier thing. also, do you really care whether or not the chicks have been to grad school? if you don't, then you should change that too. |
|
I wish Moonit was here. She could point Antigone in the direction of the Super Greg page for some handy hints on getting sheilas. Not that we're 100% sure Antigone is not Super Greg. |
"want to have some and eat it too?" i don't know. be cryptic. |
Headlines for a personal ad are a bear to come up with, I think. You need something to catch attention without sounding like a moron or a loser. How about "Ce n'est pas une personal ad"? See what I mean? |
|
super greg is owned by lee jeans. no body is looking at my personal ad. i'm so sad now. |
It's a view of you I've never seen before... |
|
|
I haven't looked at nate's yet. |
|
And I still say posing w/yr pets is a good thing, Antigone. I like seeing a guy in a candid shot in his own home w/his own stuff around him/rather than some random posed picture. And some chicks are allergic or don't like pets at all/which wd become a HUGE issue down the line. I won't go to anyone's house that's got Pit Bulls or Chows/unless they keep them chained up outside/becuz I'm scared of those breeds. Once bitten/twice shy. |
i made that up. i already posted my nerve name. i won't do it again. i'm amused, sem. you might as well be too. |
"Walk without rhythm and you won't attract the worm..." |
i'd love to get some video editing equipment together so i could put that as the sound for the "hakuna matata" segment of "the lion king." can you see it? |
|
|
|
Nothing compares to SuperGreg and his primo mullet. I like the ad, but I think the more natural photo thing would be better, that pic is kinda intimidating. Nate, your ad made me laugh, <sarcasm> I can't imagine why you haven't got any replies. </sarcasm> |
Actually, I think I may start calling him "Shai-Hulud." Kidding. |
|
someone explain the shai-hulud crap goddamnit. dune reference? i never touched dune. |
|
|
this is a repeated notion around here mister, when will you accept it. |
i never read dune |
|
can someone explain this to me? |
|
|
jeez, invest in a dictionary. |
|
i figure, i sucked your cock to completion, i have the right to cough like a bitch when it shoots. You're going to be half passed out anyway, and have you tasted that stuff? You taste it, you will start apologizing. Happens every time. damn. |
And what abt us chicks who swallow? If I were a guy/I'd consider it a major insult to have some girl suck me off then spit it out. |
(EW!) |
|
|
and it is very rude to spit. well, maybe not RUDE, but not good. a man feels like "I MADE THIS! I MADE THIS FOR YOU!! YIPPIE!! I MADE THIS FOR YOU!!" and then you go and spit it out? damn. low blow. |
|
its like being asked to take out the trash seconds after an orgasm, its just not cool. |
|
|
|
|
Coughing and gagging up a storm is indeed rude. Unless you're caught off guard. Warning! i need a warning! |
I don't know why. |
|
|
|
|
|
damn, that was nasty. |
|
I looked. Nate has a mole (or two) on his dick. That's what it is. (And why did you not mention yr resemblence to Dave Matthews?) So, if I place a classified telling people to send me a dollar & I'll send them a sheet of t.p./I'm in the clear? I just oughta do it. Just to see how many of Howard Stern's listeners respond. Or the people who find those weird ads for Jay Leno. |
(Have you seen a doctor?) And don't you have a Prince Albert or whataver you call it -- why didn't you show that off? |
|
|
people all around us were talking and looking at me. |
"I saw Dave Matthews at Cracker Barrel yesterday!" "OMIGOD!!!!!! Didi you talk to him?" "Yeah, he's a real prick, he told me I looked like the product of a degenerate coupling between West Virginia rednecks and retarded eskimos, then asked if I wanted to touch his penis. I'm never buying his albums ever again!" |
doooo it! |
|
damn |
|
|
I know I'd have a deeper understanding of Nate's penis if I put fresh fruit on it. Oh, wait, "think" probably meant crap. |
lessee, i commend you on your use of capitalization, but seriously, you have some grammar problems that i could help you with. "I know you do not have a life because you would not be here." this first sentence doesn't make much sense. this lapse in logic can be simply remidied with some punctuation and the addition of one word. "I know you do not have a life because, otherwise, you would not be here." doesn't that make sense? other sentence. ".And get out with your kid show the kid something besides this crape." first of all, you are putting in unneccessary information. "your kid show the kid" we all know that the kid is a male, so "your kid show him" would suffice. ".And" is a simple punctuation error. ". And" one other rule is that you never begin a sentence with "and but because etc" "crape" do you mean crap or rape? both maybe? ". Get out with your kid, show him something besides this crap." much better. "I know you do not have a life because, otherwise, you would not be here. Get out with your kid, show him something besides this crap." doesn't that seem much nicer and more intelligent with proper grammar and punctuation? write all checks payable to lauren b. pez/swear. |
this is the best. no, ma'am. the vaginal area streching is why we're looking for asssex. the blowjobs clean the shit off our cocks. |
that was fucking classic. i wonder what his son's name is, and what filth we spewed forth for him. |
|
Save your energy to fuck with the smart ones. |
Come on people, fess up...Jim PJ Boy, i'm looking in your direction..... |
could it be him? (although he claimed to be 15 or something like that.) |
|
|
Either way, be glad your kid's not at somewhere worse, you un-American prissy pants retard. Thank you and drive safe. |
im with wisper, im speechless. |

1) m.t. is playing with us again. 2) 12-year-old posted once, then ran and complained to daddy. 3) 12-year-old posts every once in a while, until daddy checked his computer history list after catching junior on a porn site. 4) some random stranger is shitting with us. 5) an extraterrestrial has gotten on the internet and decided that that's the best way to compliment us on our intellectual abilities. |
But i'm still looking at Jim |
