I want a woman.

[GaYellowDawg]

This was a reply... but why not repeat the advertisement?

I'm 38 (but look 30), never married, minimal emotional baggage, one year from completing my PhD. I love sports, movies, classical music (and I will sign to you or play the piano for you... ah, Chopin...), and I'm trained Southern gentleman; e.g., I open doors and pick up the check. And how's this for a range of talents: I can cook, I can do laundry without ruining it (yes, I know what fabric softener is and I know not to put bras in with the other "delicates" or in the dryer), I can change the oil in the car, and I can do tilework/caulking/basic plumbing. I love to make people smile or laugh... I have a great sense of humor. I have no distinguishing scars. I am 6 feet (1.82m) tall. Black hair, fair skin, light brown eyes with gold highlights.

What's the catch, you say? I just have horrible timing. I can never seem to meet the right person at the right time. To be brutally honest, I am also overweight. Not grossly so - I have a large frame that hides a lot.

But why not end on a high note? I'm very monogamous. When I fall for someone, every other woman in the world disappears... and I'm loyal after that initial rush fades.

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

1. You got me with the " I can do the laundry without ruining it "

and you even know what fabric softener is .

[GaYellowDawg]

6. Want more?

Wash whites with hot water.
Wash colors in cold water.
If you absolutely have to mix the two, do it in cold water.
If you leave clothes in the washer after washing for too long, they'll sour, especially with fabric softener.
If you forget to put the fabric softener in, simply turn the washer to the final rinse cycle and put it in.
Always check the lint filter before drying.
Anything that is over 60/40 cotton/poly should be hang-dried.

See, I hate coin laundries, and I don't have enough money for dry cleaning, and I like to be self-reliant.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

12. You keep talking like that and you're going to have hordes of women

...beating down your door! :)

[lukasahero]

42. Well, I just learned some things ;-)

You know more about laundry than I do. Thanks for the tips.

If it's any consolation, my husband was 49 and never married when we met. Hang in there and don't get bitter - sounds to me like there's a woman out there really hoping to find you too. :-)

[GaYellowDawg]

46. Thanks for the kindness...

I'm not bitter - I am, at heart, an optimist. :-)

[Lydia Leftcoast]

56. I'm impressed

Those thirtysomething ladies must be out of their minds if they're rejecting you.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

10. He had me at fabric softener!

He's an unheard of breed! :)

[Der Blaue Engel]

2. I want one too

You sound like you've got a better chance than I do, though. :hi:

[Wetzelbill]

5. oh I doubt that.....I'm sure you do just fine...

your site is a trip.

[Der Blaue Engel]

38. I seem to be pretty invisible to women

:shrug:

But then I'm also pretty picky, and like a certain type (gothy/punky) that is generally much too young for me. I forgot to grow up. :)

[Wetzelbill]

3. horrible timing is an awful awful problem

Join the club!

[dorktv]

4. Wait a minute...I keep trying to catch up but are you not married?

I have asked this once before but I lost the thread. oops. :)

[Wetzelbill]

7. no woman could handle me....

Actually, they could if they were so inclined.

Nope, not married, no girlfriend or anything. I'm a total bachelor.

[dorktv]

15. I could easily handle you but I doubt you could handle me.

[Wetzelbill]

17. truer words have never been spoken

;-)

[Droopy]

8. Too bad you're a dude

I need a woman like you.

That's a pretty good ad. You should post it on personal web sites. I'll bet you get more than one response.

[Wetzelbill]

14. no kidding on all accounts

he would make a good woman, haha.

That is a good add, he'd get lots of responses I bet.

[hfojvt]

9. very impressive

but Chopin? Not Tschaikovsky, Beethoven, Clementi, Kuhlau, Mozart or Bach, but Chopin?

And are you signing or singing? What range? I am a baritone. That is, a tenor who can't hit the high notes or a bass who can't hit the low notes.

[GaYellowDawg]

18. "sign" - lol, whoops! Sing!

Yeah, Chopin. I probably had more affinity for Chopin than any other composer, followed by Debussy and Scott Joplin. I used to be able to play all three movements of the Moonlight Sonata (and yes, the third movement up to speed). If there are any three pieces that I'd love to learn, they'd have to be Debussy's Arabesque, Brahms Intermezzo in A, and Ravel's Pavane pour une infante défunte.

I sing tenor. I've taken some vocal lessons, but getting the diaphragm down and vocal cords relaxed and soft palate up comes and goes. When everything's working, my range goes from the A on the bass clef to the A# above middle C. When not, it's from the A to the G#. If I really, really worked at it, I think I could get up to the C or D.

[noamnety]

32. Aw crap, see now you lost me

I thought you would sign for me.

I had romantic visions of making hot chocolate for you, while you were out freeway blogging for me in the snow.

*sigh*

[WCGreen]

11. I like the over weight thing at the end...

Not grossly......

First question a woman should ask is can you see your shoes....

Second, when was the last time you saw your ding-a-ling without having to bend over.....

So can you be wishy washy monogamous.......

[GaYellowDawg]

20. Fine.

The answers are:

Yes, I can see my shoes.
This morning in the shower.

Nothing wishy-washy about the monogamy. When I say I'm committed, I'm committed. If I want out of a relationship, I get out... but I don't see anyone else until I'm out.

[WCGreen]

21. Then thats a keeper....

Just gining you some shit... I am a little over weight myself and I hate getting lumped in with reallyoverweight people...

You might want to not even mention it in your ad and just send them a picture.....

[GaYellowDawg]

23. It's not as bad as it used to be.

I've been bicycling, swimming, and watching both calories and fat grams... so hopefully I won't have to include that hedge someday.

[WCGreen]

25. Yea, I bloated out when I got sick and just now am getting

back into fighting weight...

Hint, do it now it just gets harder the older you get and then, the fucking skin hangs there....

Not on me of course Cause I lost it slowly....

[autorank]

13. As HennyYoungman said: "Please, take my wife!"

The loyalty should do it, plus the culture and various talents. If it doesn't work out soon, get in great shape, seriously, and you'll definitely have your pick. In fact, you may turn into GAYellowDawgPlayboy (a high class, very charming, "professional cad").
Good luck

[Lone_Star_Dem]

24. Are women that shallow?

That a person of great gifts would have to alter their physical appearance to have one of us? I was married for 19 years, my entire adult life. I'm so far out of the loop still I can't even see the darn thing. Are we really that superficial in mens eyes? :cry:

[LastKnight]

27. not all.

on the flipside all guys arent pigs only interested in looks/sex, but by many women, all are seen as such.

but why are there so many superficial people on both sides? because thats the way we are by nature, pick out the alpha male and the most fertile looking female for the breeding of the strongest genes. its biology. and unless one tries to fight it, or learn to look past it. they dont.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

30. Good points

I suppose one would have to know from experience that looks don't a person make to fully understand and over come such instincts.

Thanks for the reply. :)

[GaYellowDawg]

28. Weight is today's greatest dating sin.

That's just the way it is.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

31. I don't know

It would still depend on the person, don't you think? I know of a few women who would be considered beautiful by many peoples standards, who are currently very happily involved with men who would qualify as overweight. That's why I found the suggestion that you should alter your appearance to find love shocking. It struck me like telling a woman she should buy breast if she wants to find a man. Sure, she'll get lots of men, but will she want them? Do yo see what I mean?

[noamnety]

34. oh lord, no it isn't

bad breath is the greatest dating sin, followed closely by spewing RW talking points - although some would consider those to be the same thing.

[Vektor]

35. I actually prefer an "overweight" man....

to a thin one any day. I just find it more attractive. I have NO desire to see a set of six pack abs. (Unless of course if has a nice layer of fat over it!) :-)

In my opinion, what most consider "overweight" is perfect for me. I am already married, however. My husband weighed in at 223 recently - and is dieting to lose weight, which is his prerogative, but I like him big. He has lost over 20 pounds, and while I feel proud of him because it's what he wants, I love him at any size.

I'm 98 pounds, and have always loved men who are "thick." Most of the guys I dated in the past have weighed about 225-250.

I don't know what you weigh, but a good woman - the only kind you want to waste your time on, will love you the way you are.

[autorank]

36. Not you! I'm just trying to "optimize" here. He's got all these

fine qualities and he's not there. He mentioned the weight so he's thinking of it, impacting confidence. So weight lossi=in shape=confidence. Actually I think money is far more important to either gender (LOL).

[LastKnight]

16. me too,

but i wont steal your thunder. (i honestly was thinking of posting somethin like this)

[Wetzelbill]

19. you have "pimp" written all over you LastKnight

Like I said on the pic thread, I'll be glad to handle your leftovers.

[LastKnight]

22. if you plan to live on my leftovers

youre going to starve to death. :rofl:

but in the rare event something like that does come up, ill drop your name a few times and where they can find you.

in all realiy im only beginning to get comfortable with the social scene. quite often i still tun into a stammering mess if im approached/approaching a woman.

confidence in time, i guess.

thanks for the compliments though.

[Wetzelbill]

26. I'm a stammering mess half the time too

I'm funny though, so women like to hang with me after class and so forth. But when I have to act serious, the anxiety kicks in.

Women love a little compliment. Just be genuine about it. Don't be afraid to tell them they look nice etc. It's a good beginning because they automatically, like you just for being genuine and nice.

I once told a girl who always wore the color red, that I thought red was a good color for her. She just fell apart in front of me. Totally melted. So much so that I didn't know what to do, haha. I was like...uh, um...okay well,...uh... see you in class on thursday.

Sometimes, you can be too charming. It's rare, but if I can "forrest gump" my way into it any guy can. :) Just don't make 'em melt too much!

[LastKnight]

29. lol ok.

good things to keep in mind. 'forrest gump'ing your way through it. i havent heard that one before. lol.

[Wetzelbill]

33. hey, if somebody as inept as me can stumble into some action

pretty much anybody can. Hence, the Forrest Gump approach to women.

[WCGreen]

37. Yes but you forget grasshopper that most of the women

you meet are as inept at the meeting and dating thing as you....

Confussion says.....

Stay with the sense of humor, don't I repeat do not ever be self depricating in front of someone you just met, wait until they have seen you naked to pull a woo is me...

And most important, the secret to my success as passed on to me by my pappy and I am sure by his pappy, DO NOT FART ON THE FIRST DATE....

I know it is tempting to let one rip just to see if she giggles, but again, wait until you see her nakid,,,,,,

[MissMillie]

39. If you're not looking to have kids....

.... here I am!

Will you relocate?

[GaYellowDawg]

50. Shoot.

I am looking to have kids - my sisters have several kids and I've seen enough, both good and bad, to know that I'd like to have a couple, too. I won't relocate until I'm through with my degree, and then I've got to go where the jobs are. It's both a blessing and a curse for me to be single; it's a blessing in that I can go wherever I want, but it's a curse in that I have to go alone.

[XemaSab]

40. What's the PhD in?

n/t

[GaYellowDawg]

43. It's pending.

Science education.

[XemaSab]

45. Cool!

What's your dissertation topic?

[GaYellowDawg]

47. I'm just starting...

It's going to be about evolution and nature of science.

[XemaSab]

48. Wow!

Good times, good times...

[Deja Q]

41. WHo cares about scars? But I'd worry about her very possessive nature...

That's what's she's saying with the loyalty bit.

(I know this because I often say it of myself! :D )

[GaYellowDawg]

44. "her" ?

The "scars" bit was an attempt at humor... although it's true that I don't have any.

I'm a him. I also don't have possessiveness issues; if we're not exclusive, I have no reason to be. If we are exclusive, I'm going to trust her - you have to extend trust to receive it.

[GOPisEvil]

49. Who knew ability to do laundry was so sexy to women?

I've been doing my own laundry for years now. No one else is going to do it. I've gotten pretty good at it over the years.

:D

[GaYellowDawg]

51. It surprised me, too.

It's routine to me. I don't like shrunken shirts, pink underwear, scratchy clothes, or sour towels, so I learned how to do it right. I'm just happy to have my own laundry appliances instead of having to go to the laundromat. I still have this leftover urge to save quarters.

[GOPisEvil]

52. I own my own washer and dryer, too.

It beats the hell out of the laundromat.

My mom taught me how to do laundry. I learned well. :)

[GaYellowDawg]

53. I HATE the laundromat.

I had a load of underwear and socks stolen one time, and laughed about it until I got into the store and realized how expensive it would be to replace it all. Then it wasn't funny at all, although I suppose if someone needed clothing so badly that he had to steal a load of underwear, he could have it.

[no name no slogan]

54. I want one too

One who's in touch with her emotions and who's not afraid to show them. Somebody who can say "I Love You" without prompting, and mean it.

Is that asking too much? :shrug:

[supernova]

55. You sound cool

Laundry and cooking are high on my list. :-)
