As I said last time (and may times before), the good posts are often hidden by the vast amount of bad ones such as this:
6'2", KINDA HOT, TOTALLY FUNNY SEEKS GOOD BAD GIRL - 33
C'mon, Santa, all I wanted for Christmas was a Good Bad Girl? Geez, I was good last year-- I mean, I was bad last year... I mean. Crap. Santa, please send me a lady that's packed with personality, knows how to work what her momma gave her, and is fun to hang out with! Please. :) Me: 6'2", 33, great career, good lookin, funny, smell fantastic, i tip bartenders well, and love to laugh. I get compliments on my eyes, chest, butt, and big hands. Plus, I don't dress like a bum. Howzabout you? Do ya dare to go out last minute for some Saturday night drinks? :) (Your pic gets mine.)
I mean, I guess he gets points for honesty by describing himself as only "kinda hot"; however, the rest of his ad is pretty lame. Next year, try writing Santa. Maybe you'll have a better chance of getting what you want, mister…

That dude's ad exudes an oh-so-not-attractive aura of desperate.
Yeah. Some guys are straight forward about their desperateness, using subject lines like "my date canceled on me, wanna go out?" while others leave it to their lame-ass ads to show it.
I have to admit that desperation is really one of the least sexy qualities a dude can have. If you get the sense that they just want any girl they can get, it makes you feel remarkably un-special. Do you remember that obnoxious guy in college named Morgan? He kind of looked like a horse and hit on any female within range. He didn't know how to interact with women in a way that wasn't coming on to them and it basically drove all girls who met him far, far away.
He was the one who brought you venison or something like that once, right?
Yeah, his dad liked to go hunting so he ended up with a refrigerator full of wild game. To be fair, it took a little while before he got totally on my nerves, and it is also possible that he got worse the longer he was at Whitman and wasn't getting laid, and he made some good spaghetti.
I suppose the underlying truth is that a desperate person isn't necessarily a bad dude, they just come off as unattractive. Kind of like having strong body odor or a facial twitch.
No, I totally agree with you. I don't want to start in on a date or relationship thinking, "This guy's just dating me because he can't find anyone better."
My next post will have an ad I found on Craigslist tonight that speaks to this point in a wonderfully, um, male, way.
I am intrigued . . .
