That is real good advice! I had not been aware that women statistically tend to be more negative, perhaps it’s because they write more or want to be understood more? Personally I love sarcasm and a thing like oh-I-can’t-live-without-Dolly-Parton (say) would rather get my interest. However, yes – so much comes over so negative,even if not intended as a slap to the reader’s face. I notice that in everyday life. Sometimes I comment on an initial observation that then turns out to be a WRONG observation.. and my, how to apologise and go into the But-I-thought.. a total nightmare. It’s a tricky thing to say what you want and be interesting – I tend to read between the lines, occupation and such and then ask questions and then see whether the answer is interesting and sparkly.
My 16-year old son says it in the words of his generation: haters will hate. So: lovers will love, right? (Please picture the flowers, pink ponies and rainbows and such around this post yourself, ok.. oh and music: 10h nyam cat)

■Cowboys fans need not apply. Just come right in, you’re welcome to skip the line.
■If you’re looking for a fling, look the other way. That’s the direction where my little black ball I rolled up after picking my nose is flung.
■No drama, please! Comedy, horror, action, suspense, okay… Sophocles, go to the end of the line.
■If you’re into country music, forget about it. I say it, because you can’t forget about him if you’re into country music. That’s why you’re into country music in the first place.
■If you’re a cat-lover, move right along. Herd your cats out of here already, up to chicago if you want to even. The Great Cat Drive of 1868.
■Don’t write to me if you’re not looking for a serious relationship. Write to my flung fling instead.
■Douche bags need not apply! (Taken from someone’s actual profile… I can’t make this stuff up.)== this I totally believe. The prez and owner of PoF says in his welcome page, “blah, blah, blah, but if you are a jerk, we’ll get rid of you, blah, blah, blah”
well, that’s a nice how-do-you-do by the owner of a basically social website. I hate that guy with all my might.
