You don’t know about it Mr. Mustard? Boy, you better catch up!

Feel free to add your pics, everyone! 
Thank God most of the people in that gallery are people I don’t know.
The tone of people’s posts creates an image of them in my mind.
I don’t like having my illusions destroyed!
As someone on OKC, you might want to re-think that. It’s gonna happen, sweetie.
Well, sugarlips, first of all it was a joke. Second of all, on OkCupid the first thing you see is their picture.
Rumor has it she’s absolutely mammalian!
Hunt down a picture of a half dressed bimbo, blonde, endowed, sassy.
Send it to him with a note saying, “Sorry, I don’t know what I was thinking before, that’s not me, this is me. Silly me.”
Then wait and see what happens. Maybe nothing. Or maybe he’ll break his silence and let slide what his problem is. It’s worth a shot.
Sorry, but it’s abundantly clear here that the guy is certainly a rude dick of the highest order for the way he’s handled this, but also that he does not find her attractive enough to talk to. Period.
So, sure, the OP can prod and bother him, but she better be ready to hear something unpleasant on his end. His way of politely handling this is to ignore the issue altogether (I’m not saying this was the best course of action, but it is clearly his) and he’s doing this so he can avoid having the awkward, “I’m just not that into you, physically” discussion.
Move along. No one wants to sit and hear why people don’t like them. There’s plenty of fish in the sea who will have the hots for the OP, no reason to get caught up on one guy who isn’t attracted AND has an avoidance way of handling situations.
Read this post, King Bobo. It’s a perfect example of what not to do.
It’s a joke people. Sheesh, lighten up a little.
I’m not suggesting she seriously present herself as something else. Just a joke to break the ice.
Consider unclenching yourselves.
After reviewing your photo, the following thought crossed my mind
“All we need to do is to dip you in honey and let me and ClockworkMelon see who can lick their side clean the fastest.”
:eek:
So a question about etiquette:
Assuming that it happens as seems likely (two people start chatting on a personals site, one sends a photo, the other realizes they don’t find the first person attractive and is therefore no longer interested in pursuing the relationship), what is proper etiquette? If someone makes this realization on the first date, I think etiquette is to finish the date and not to make any volunteering noises about a second date, and if the other party makes such noises, to be completely noncommittal. (Yeah, telling them straight up that there won’t be a second date is refreshingly honest, but probably incorrect etiquette). But how should it be handled online?
Sorry 
I have horrible self esteem and so I often say to myself “I look like a regular, normal person” and then I don’t feeeeel, soooo baaaad!
See [thread=559218]Help me understand this woman[/thread].
I had an exchange last year with a women (one of the matching sites that is not eHarmony) in which everything seemed to be going well. Her profile was well-written and articulate, we had comparable levels of education and experience, we had a couple of exchanges that seemed to indicate that we had approximately the same type of humor and some common cultural and activity interests, and she was quite fetching, but not ostentatiously so; no indication that I was batting above my league rating or had done something to creep her out. Frankly, the only negative about her for me was that she was on the short side for my taste, but not problematically so. Needless to say I was quite enthused (in a courteous, reserved way) about meeting her, so I suggested meeting at a farmer’s market some Saturday mid-morning for a casual, “meet-cute” introduction–the sort of unassuming, low pressure, no expectations type of meetup that could be terminated in twenty minutes or go on all day, depending on how things panned out.
She didn’t respond.
After a few days, I sent another message, just to check if she’d gotten the first invitation and politely requesting a yea/na; no big deal, just let me know.
I never heard from her again.
Why? Who knows. Maybe she met the love of her life. Maybe she was struck by a random meteorite. Maybe the prions that had been matriculating in her brain for the last thirty years broke out in a massive progression of variant Crutzfeldt-Jakob disease. Maybe she suddenly decided to play for the other team. Maybe she realized that my visage was repugnant and my sense of humor Neanderthal. I’m sure I’ll never know, and there is nothing I can do, short of vainly hoping to suddenly fall into the plot of a Richard Linklater film, to find out. The only thing to be done is move on.
I’m not bitter. Well, not much more than angostura, neat.
Stranger
I think you look great. I asked my husband, and he said, “She looks fine. She looks like she has a lot of fun and smiles a lot.”
My guess is that he had an image of a 40-year-old blonde, and in his mind’s eye, it was Pamela Anderson. When he saw what a real 40-something blonde woman looks like, he had a reality jolt and moved on. Consider yourself lucky. I’ve seen this in people before - once I introduced an immature male friend to a pretty female friend, and it turned out that the male friend had worked up in his mind an image of a beauty queen. The reality of a normal, regular, bilaterally symmetrical woman was too jarring for him. She went on to marry a really great catch, and as far as I know, he’s still single.
You’re a very good looking lady.
Chances are he’s not attracted to you and doesn’t have the balls to admit it. Oh well! Sounds like a real loser - a good man is capable of being honest and letting a girl down without being a dick about it.
That said - don’t email him. Vent on here if you gotta, but don’t give him another minute of your time. He knows where to find you if he wants to talk again – you’ve got better things to do and better guys to talk to
You look fine to me. I don’t know what his problem is.
I agree with not contacting him again. That’s too much like begging, and you’re worth more than that.
You might be looking at it from the wrong angle. Last summer I met a guy I had been talking to online. He was a hepatitic, unemployed excon who lived with his mom and dad. I took his silence after our meeting as a total affront- what, he thinks I am not good enough for him? I even made a thread about it, it’s around here somewhere. But now with perspective, I can say that there’s a good chance that he saw that I was out of his league, and that’s why he never called me. At least, that’s what I tell myself.
