I need to try a different tack here.
malkavia, you are definitely my type. There seem to be many women my type on SDMB.
But this doesn’t help me. Where do I need to go IRL to meet Doper-type chicks?
Yes, Arden has a tendency to do that. 
'Sokay - It looks good on you.
FINALLY! An opinion I can get behind.
[sub](Not to mention a poster I can… I mean, Not that I WANT to…I mean, I certainly wouldn’t MIND…I mean, really only if SHE wanted… Did I mention something about stammering and gaping?) [/sub]
Thanks for that, Pers. Glad to know that mentality exists. (I’d once feared Mrs. T was the only one who had it.)
The only aspect of my appearance that I’m self-conscious about is my hair, which decide to start abandoning ship over ten years ago. Silly, I know, to be concerned with something you have no control over, but I never claimed I weren’t silly.
Dopetober Fest in Redondo Beach on Oct. 20th, of course. =)
I meant, in the Atlanta area. Fiver doesn’t get out to California much anymore.

Find a friend who games. Ask for introductions. Tell all your friends that you’d like to meet some nice people, in whatever categories you normally date. One will turn up.
Or meet someone online and move.

A lot of men are self-conscious about it. I don’t think I’ll ever understand fully as to why, though. Most of the women I know think bald/balding is quite sexy. 
For me, though, it’s not just sexy, it’s familiar. My dad, my brother, all of my uncles and all of my male cousins are in various stages of hair loss. I grew up surrounded by cool, funny, smart, and handsome bald men (my dad even has a coffee mug that says “bald men don’t waste their hormones growing hair,” but that doesn’t explain the hair on his back…:D).
Then what do I do? I marry a man who’s got more hair than all of them combined.
I’m thinking that Houston can’t be what - no more than a day drive from Utah? I mean, if I drive really, really fast and don’t stop to eat, sleep, or pee?
Hands? Oh god yeah!!!big strong hands oh yeah…

Yep. I stopped worrying about hair loss when I found out just how many women admitted they would give it up for Patrick Stewart or Sean Connery.
This thread just keeps on amazing me.
I should print it off and put it somewhere so when my son is an adolescent and perhaps feeling awkward, I can show him that no matter what he looks like, he’s gonna drive some girl apeshit! 
Competence. A can do attitude.
When I have a problem I don’t want to hear umm well what do you want to do shit dude I asked YOU!
Conversely I am so tired of being told how to solve my problem when I am just venting… just listen and say I understand…
A man who can fix things!
A man who can dance.
I have nothing to say in response to this, I just thought it deserved to be seen again.
Sara, that makes you about the fifth Dopette in the last couple weeks to tell me something like that. I may actually start to believe it if you don’t cut that out.
[sup]I swear to you all, I am blushing down to … well, pretty damn far down.[/sup]
Oh, and Diane? Don’t get in a car wreck on my account. Stop and rest/eat if you need to… you’ll need your strength.
My eyelasses are so long I have to wear my glasses at the bottom of my nose while cooking a 5 course meal 
oh and, does being a great masoose* count? I’ve been practicing since I was 7, my mom taught me how since she was a pro. I love to massage people 
Hey, you can masoose me anytime.
I also think it is really sexy when hot guys don’t realize just how hot they are :::cough Dave cough::: It’s such a nice change from the egotistical type.
Hey Dave, I’m not sure what you meant about the blush down to somewhere comment. You may have to send photos.
Since you are up here close to me… why don’t we share? The distance to Houston is only half as far with TWO drivers
:eek:
I really have no idea which way to turn at this point. I’m completely flabbergasted. After 32 years of being a nobody, in two weeks’ time I’ve become a hot property. It might be time to go start a new thread just to discuss how to handle all this new attention!
And here’s your picture, Diane: :o
—>of course, all he’ll learn from reading this thread is that there will be lots and lots of women who claim that he’s exactly their type. Given the number of single men posting to this thread and pointing out that they have most or all of the mentioned qualities, however, that may be of little comfort.
(And what happened to that Trivial Pursuit challenge? I’ve never met anyone from my generation who can beat me (I’m 27), although people who are, say, in their 50’s can have an insurmountable advantage, simply from their lifetime accumulation of knowledge.)
