No one ever flirts with me. Hell, no one even acknowleges my existence. I must be invisible. ---

I am the original “Invisible Man” ☹ No one notices me either here or IRL. Even my threads die on their arse :rolleyes: (and usually any thread I post in too, so watch this thread sink without a trace) Oh well. Rick ---

Thanks, wring. I remember back in high school when I used to build convincing arguments and then sit ack waiting for the babes to come a-runnin’. They ought to be here any day now, really. [sub]shhh, don’t let the wife know. I’m hopefully devoted, but I can pretend. ;)[/sub] ---

Count me in as someone else whose posts seem to be invisible. I’m doing something wrong, but I don’t know what it is. With all of the threadkillers in this thread, it should vanish with out a trace in no time. ---

Never get mentioned, which is hard to imagine considering I am the wittiest, cutest, most erudite person on the SDMB. Very humble, too. There is no one more modest than I. But then again I am so far out of the loop I do not even know what the “people pages” are. ---

I never get mentioned in those flirty threads. Seems like the men around here don’t bother with women who can cook… _sniff_ ---

Count me in on the lack of flirtation. I can live with that…or without it. In fact, when I post something I am just so thankful if anyone even responds to me. 🙂 If someone actually flirted with me I’d probably get so excited I’d swallow my gum or something…if I were a gum chewer. Actually, I’d probably just get off on a little kindness around here. Know what I mean? 🙂 ---

Yet another invisible person here. I have yet to get mentioned anywhere except threads I’ve posted to, and even then its rare. I guess we just have to stick around and prove ourselves a little. ---

I am flirtless. Am just waiting for the signs to go up, no flirt, no whoop, no service! ---

Uh, I actually did get virtually married (as my sig attests), but that was just cause I’ve gotten to know Topaz on ICQ, so I asked her and she said yes. Normally I’m one of those completely unnoticed people. Nobody knows who I am. ('cept Topaz) ---

**Bumbazine**!! That was down right adorable flirting, next time, though,I can do without the “Ma’am”. 😃 How about we start our own club? 😉 ---

I swear with my hand on a stack of Straight Dope books that virtually all of the names in this thread are familiar to me. You guys are NOT invisible. A bit of proof, you say? I know **GuanoLad** hasn’t gotten lucky in quite a while, but he also posted about taking pictures of nude women. hmmmmm… Also, **Narile** was at a Dopefest (can’t remember which one) and **Bumbazine** calls himself Bumba on occasion. Me, on the other hand, I am the Ghost Poster. ---

(Uh, forgot to refresh before posting that second one), but yeah… my original point being that the mere act of having a picture up doesn’t necessarily do much. Unless of course my particular picture scares people, in which case… I’ll be quiet now. Back to the non-flirting. ---
