OK, let's get into this one a bit shall we?

I get so bored with the non-stop onslaught of dumb perverted one-liners that guys have to IM me with.

I bet she does too. This cyber-sex crap in chat rooms drove me out of most of them months ago and if I were a woman I'd be just as shrill and sarcastic as I am as a man, maybe even more so. Is it asking too much for someone to stir something in me other than what I just ate?

"What do you look like?" is not something that is going to win mine or any other woman's interest.

Oh no? Well you'd better get a handle on some basic biology: looks matter and men in particular can't even "get it up" for someone who isn't attractive to them. Now, I expect that even for the most shallow of the male sex, there is something more than looks that they would like from a woman, but for you and any other women out there to act as if looks are unimportant is about as simple minded as thinking the earth is flat.

Come on, I've read a lot of personals by women looking for men and you know what? They all want TALL, some want DARK and HANDSOME too. Oh yeah and that all important component, "a sense of humor". Well I have one of those all right, but it's not for ninnies. I've already been halfway around the world and seen so much human misery and foolishness that I have to laugh or I'd cry. From extensive reading, I found out more about the matrix we live in and how mankind has goofed it up, how we dupe ourselves and each other and never really get to the truth.

So, you don't like men asking about your looks do you? Guess what, women ask me what I look like all the time. Should I be offended? I'm not. I know very well that they either will or wont be attracted to me by how I look and so what? I only need to find the one who really knows me and who I really know. All the rest can be friends or nothing at all to me. It doesn't matter. It's as much their choice as mine. Was this "interesting" enough for you?
