I was getting tired of all the sex questions. I WILL NOT have sex with you. Hope you have better luck with the ladies though. 😃

😛

The Canadian Asian’s been chatting me up. I wonder if there’s even a point flirting with her.

[I was bored.](http://www.helloquizzy.com/results/nick-suitability-guide/?var%5fSubmissitude=39&var%5fDisqualifications=0&var%5fPervosity=56&fromCGI=1&var%5fPersonality=67) There are an awful lot of sex questions. I answered them, by the way, as if a guy I was dating/considering dating were asking them. I don’t know you so I can’t say that I’d answer the same specifically about YOU.

Understood.

But yeah, yeah? It was a better test? \>:]

Also, though I love the hilarious “GTFO” results I’m seeing, the survey will always give you that result if you’re a guy, gaiz. 😛

It was a more comprehensive test, certainly. I think that not being so generalized in some of the areas helped (things that as a category I might say “no” to, whereas broken down I’d say yes to some and no to others).

I started doing it but I dunno… Do I want your jizm on my body, in a condom or whatever. I don’t really want it anywhere near me but I went for in a condom - seemed safest.

Lol. I’m considering just sending a link to to this quiz to any girl who contacts me on OkCupid.

I have to choose between hilarity and getting laid through OkCupid.

Also, yes, a condom would be safest. My jizm has Mad Cow.

Hrm. I wish I could look at statistics for which answers got the most results. All it’s showing me are the most common results.

I know, right? Reminds me of this guy I had a hopeless crush on in high school, only he wasn’t as cute.

Change your hair back to that. 🙂

I don’t know what hairstyle is more popular with my target audience. You guys like me with my old hair, but I don’t know what the average 18 year old that I’ll be shamelessly hitting on will like.

I mean, an example of this happening is facial hair. There are a lot of women (usually older) who say I look like a bum with my beard (it’s thicker on my jaws now then it was in the pics I have up), but the girls who I’m going after? They love it.

I just want to be sure that getting my hair cut is a good decision before I go and do it. This is a year of growth I’ve built up!

Edit: I completely missed the compliment in “only he wasn’t as cute.” 😛 Thanks.

Edit 2: **Oni** , you mentioned “the first pillow shot” and “the one where you’re looking right into the camera.” Which one is that second one? The second pillow shot? Or the KFC one?

Dunno. Let’s ask the people in the thread.

**Oni**? You know who that is?  
**Alice**?  
**Bright Life**?

Anyone?

Oh well, I tried. Don’t come running to me when women won’t go out with you because your hair is long and girly.

Should I come running to you when they go out with me because of my long hair? Oops. Too late. 😛

_You_ don’t like long hair on guys, but there are many girls who do.

I appreciate all the advice. But there is no way I’d ever get hair like the guy in the pic you provided. I’ve never once used product in my hair and I’m not about to start now. _That’s_ girly.

I’ll agree. The long hair makes you look like a slightly prissy wanna-be-metalhead supergeek. The short hair was kind of hot.
