Why People Do Want to Date You

In My Humble Opinion
1

So, overall you’re a worthless sack of crap. Dull, out of shape, boring and repetitive, your life’s only pleasure consists of Scooby-Do reruns and your favorite character is Scrappy. You order Bacon Double Cheeseburgers with no bacon.

But there’s hope! For as Tolkien said, not all who wander are lost. Losers are most loser-ish before the dawn. And shit.

OK, with that alcohol-fueled and probably incoherent opening, what I’m trying to get at is, ahem, what are your own highly attractive qualities? In the Dark Side edition of this thread, the wind of my soul states:

So, to hell with the deal-breakers, what are your game-winners?

I’ve been told:
I’m beautiful
I’m a passionate person about things I love
I’m funny
I’m smart
I give a great blow job (of course guys don’t know this beforehand, but it does keep 'em around…:cool:)

3

The single one I hear most often is that I’m exciting.

Side note: Yay! I’ve never been featured in someone else’s OP before! Let’s be friends!

4

I’m reasonably smart and funny.
I have a college degree.
I have held full time jobs consistently since I graduated college over 10 years ago.
I make decent money and have no debt.
I’m responsible with my decisions.
I don’t smoke or do drugs.
I’m pretty awesome now that I look at it.

5

Make it so.

**

As for little 'ol me, I’ve been told by others (and as all my dates match myself in near-godlike honesty I see no reason to doubt it):

I’m funny
Kind
Smart
Fun to be around

I wouldn’t mind adding handsome and great in bed to that list, but we takes what we can get :smiley: I’m pretty darn happy with myself.

6

I’m small, friendly, cute, and gullible.

7

Oh no, now you are going to be in the Friend Zone and thus no longer dateable!

I haven’t dated in about 22 years and nobody every told me why they dated me in the first place. Because I asked maybe? I guess I was funny and not too bad looking when I was young, was educated and athletic, didn’t live with my parents. These features are, at least, not repulsive to women so some of them said yes when I asked them out.

8

I’m funny, I’m loyal, I have certain artistic skills that some people find impressive, and I’ve been told I provide a good time in the sack. It seems to work out for me, overall.

9

I’m a girl and I have a lot of nerdy interests. And I like dating nerds. So… that pretty much works out. Or has in the past, as I’m married now (to a nerd).

Hi. I am Sunspace, millionaire. I own a mansion and a yacht. :wink:

11

All that and good looks too! :eek:

12

It’s a classical reference. :slight_smile:

[sub]Disclaimer: not actually millionaire or mansion/yacht owner. Honest, though. Mostly.[/sub]

13

You’re also an adjectival form of yellow. And yellow is my favourite colour. :slight_smile:

14

I have awesome blue eyes and a nice rack. Also, when you get to know me you learn that I’m a pretty cool chick: I’m smart and funny, I’m a great singer, I have an awesome dog and a cool car, I have various and eclectic interests, I get along with most folks and enjoy meeting new people, I’m loyal and thoughtful, etc. Heck, I’d date me. :wink:

15

I might not be the best lover, but I’m fast.

16

I’m funny
I’m smart
I’m geeky
I can usually troubleshoot my own computer problems
I value punctuality, honesty, and integrity
I’m strange, but in a reasonably socially acceptable way
I have very eclectic interests, and love learning new things
I have a good job
I’m a good writer
I don’t smoke, drink (not philosophically opposed–just don’t like the taste much), do drugs, or gamble beyond the occasional low-stakes poker game.
I’m low-maintenance (I demand respect assuming I’ve earned it, but have no particular interest in expensive meals, presents, trips, etc.)

17

Smart and funny is a standard response but in my case it’s actually true.

Wonderful blue eyes.

Tall.

Don’t smoke.

Good at getting along with my date’s friends and family.

Great kisser.

18

This. I have nerdy interests and like nerds/smart guys, so I’ve always had my pick of the litter.

I’ve emotionally low-maintenance. That attracts a lot of guys, especially in college, who aren’t looking for the clingy type.

Uh…and I’m a D cup. For better and for worse.

19

I’m modestly smart. I have a very wide range of knowledge: I’m forever picking up tidbits here (and particularly here on the Dope), there, and everywhere. I’m tall, dark-haired, and modestly handsome. I appear to be good with small children.

But I’ve yet to win a point, let alone a game.

Hello, my name is drach, I mumble alot, have tattoos featuring the names of 3 ex g/f’s 6 children, and the exploits of a life spent mostly in prison. I drink too much, and currently am wanted in 6 states and 3 foreign countries. I don’t own a car, or a home. I come and go at odd hours but manage to pay the bills.
