Next you will be telling me the sun is larger than the earth, which is clearly ridiculous, as I can cover the sun with my finger. Teach the controversy!
And what if someone takes "clams" to be slang for dollars? Those aren't alive. I gotta keep hope alive for my "landlocked time-travelling 1940's mob princess" dream woman.

I see women with it wrong all the time. Which, whatever, anecdotal evidence and not even what I'm saying. That is... until the OkC blogger accidently uncovered the stat that 2x as many women than men who answered think the Earth is indeed bigger than the sun. 5% vs. 10%. edit: And then he promptly made a Mines of Moria joke about wishing he hadn't delved so deeply.
The STALE/STEAL question is often missed too. I don't get how, but apparently it's tough to assign letters to numbers and move them 1-2 places. Heaven help us if the only way for them to stop nuclear annihilation is by beating Myst.
I thought internet dating was full of nerdy, liberal atheists, though?
And Disney World is nowhere in sight.
No quality control. You could be interacting with virtually anyone. And yes, I realize that's also a possibility on dating sites, but CL especially seems to be plagued with people using someone else's pictures, if they have pictures at all. "Just come meet me, I'm sure you'll find me attractive!" - Yeah, no. Even at my most desperate, I'm not going to randomly show up at some stranger's house just to be made into a skin suit.
Well, damn, that is pretty amazing. I like how the fish were just staring at the one, like "What am I seeing here?"
Well, you know...if we're friends.
My unofficial list of what ladies love, taken very scientifically:
Cats
Non-profit jobs
The Office, 30 Rock or It's Always Sunny
Margaritas and/or Pina Coladas and/or Getting caught in the rain
Cocks
You have cats, work at a non profit job, like the office, 30 rock, and it's always sunny, and love margaritas and being caught in the rain?
I mean, if you count my alternative careers of arguing over the Internet, running an unsucessful blog, and starting a webcomic as non-profit, then yes, I have all five.
[Edit] Ohhhhhh, I see whatcha did there.
I certify this as an accurate list. It is now peer reviewed.
I also add this for levity....always Poke a girl back!
Personal story time.
Halloween weekend, went to a charity costume event, got sloppy drunk on complimentary drinks and made out with a girl I met on the dance floor (I am the best drunk dancer ever.)
This would have led to a successful conclusion if she hadn't broken it off mid-tongue to check her phone and say "I think my boyfriend is looking for me". o_O
She explained she was in an open relationship. We parted company (open or not, I didn’t want an ass beating), but she told me to look her up on facebook. I did, and sent her a quippy message. She responded. I called her bluff on the "open" in open relationship and asked if she wanted to meet up downtown again. She didn’t respond.
Lesson: Open relationships have a direct correlation with amount of alcohol consumed. Unless all parties are intoxicated, approach with extreme prejudice.
I don't have a clue about what I actually want in a girl.
Funny
Smart
Nice/not super pretentious
Choose one or two to start with!
Try capitalization.
I know that sounds jokey and nit-picky, but all the analysis I've seen on it indicates that women like things that are spelled, capitalized, and punctuated properly.

so, fuck yes
I believe it's either proofreading or proof-reading</irony>.
But seriously, I know a lot of people type more casually on forums or chat than they would on their actual profile or dating site messages. It's just the most obvious bit of advice I can give without seeing a profile.

This knowledge has taken a lot of time for me to learn. Hell, I don't even recommend getting excited until after a few dates. I've still had things evaporate for one reason or another.
edit: yeah, you need to calm the fuck down. You're going to be asking us why she hasn't messaged you back every ten minutes.
DO NOT MESSAGE HER ON OKCUPID ASKING WHEN SHE WILL BE ON AIM.
but yeah
That would be weird, unless her message was "here is my AIM, lets go chat there right this very second"
If it is a couple of days and you don't see her, on then send a "when is a good time to catch you on AIM" message.
Edit: What OTLC said. Just be cool. Don't want to go into overly excited puppy mode.
When I add someone to one of my chat things, I always add them and, if they don't appear online but *should* be online, I send them a message saying "hello?" or "is this thing on?" or similar. Some people stay invisible to people not on their own contact list.

There was much dry-humping between them.
All according to plan

I both hate and admire you right now.
I think that sentiment is shared by most of the guys in this thread.
Though the longer you go without being laid, I understand the angst increases exponentially so maybe I'm shouting into a maelstrom. Quality not quantity.
Also, I guess it doesn't hurt that I'm considered attractive.

And I just hope you wrap it up dude. You're at least handing out HPV if not. With them you decrease the risk... somewhat.
/has banged a lot of women, wishes he could just find the right one again
And of course I wrap it up.
