> Jay I agree with Kath about the article, and about the trying to impress I think the latter is really important. Women are also I think very attracted to that genuine subtle confidence, more so than looks.
> Also someone mentioned this to you before, and I have to agree, (trying to be helpful) As to referring to women as "gals" I don't know any woman who likes it, and I know a few to whom it's an instant turnoff.
Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. Hahaa. 'Tis not to worry Gabbi. This is the only place in the world I have ever used the term 'gals'. (And nobody here 'knows' me..so..:) I understand the confidence thing and all, but you know there are some people who have WAY too much of it, right?..hahaa. I *used* to be the guy who tried to impress..and of course got burnt for it. I was (and still am...but getting better) very, very self-conscious, and I think I cared a bit too much about trying to impress. I blew a LOT of money (that I didn't have) and spent a lot of time bothering with women who I should have known better not to. In fact I even think I lowered my standards, especially in terms of intelligence, interpersonal qualities, etc.But, right now, I've failed miserably at this internet-dating stuff, and wonder if it is merely become a replacement for bar-hopping. They now have this 'speed dating' crap, where you are supposed to meet, like, 20 people in one night to "increase your chances"..I guess. But, you got to wonder what people are looking for in spending 4.2 minutes with a stranger? That is just as superficial as anything. Oh well...
Thanks for your thoughts..:)
Jay
