Looking for love: Pre-Valentine's Day Open Thread
— Open Blogger

Wired had a fun piece about the dos and don'ts of online dating profiles. Apparently, tatted men are hawt, tatted gals are nawt. Also, don't mention the Almighty, but DO watch Homeland.

One assumes that to find a good conservative mate, sammiches and bacon should appear prominently in your online dating profile.

Anyhoo, Wired's article reminded me of those old Dewar's Scotch ads. Remember them?
They were quite a thing at one time. My friends and I used to sit around in art class making them up for each other.

Here's one for Jerry Orbach at age 33. Hubba, hubba.

Follow this link to see Gale Sayer's profile. It's for sale at Ebay. (Anybody know when navycopjoe's birhday is?)

I wonder what a certain Ewok's Dewar's Profile would contain?

Open Thread.

11 Apparently I'm gay:

If youÂ’re a gay man, pose outdoorsÂ—48 percent of the profile pics of the most popular gay men on OkCupid were snapped outside.

My okCupid pics were, yes, taken outside. Usually involving various lakes northwest of Estes Park.

15 I loved those old Dewar's profiles. Do they still do them? I had a hard time find ones that were legible, unfortunately, but there were some awesome 'fros and hipster clothing pix out there on the internetz.

Way off topic:

Students and parents at a Colorado high school are outraged after administrators turned down their request for a spirit week day honoring America because it might offend non-Americans.

Â“They said they didnÂ’t want to offend anyone from other countries or immigrants,Â” a 16-year-old member of the student council told me. Â“They just really did not want to make anyone feel uncomfortable.Â”

If America makes them uncomfortable. Then why the fuck are they in this country? That's includes the jerks off running the school

29 16. They backed down and will have "Amreica day" and also offered this weak sauce excuse. The students requested a 'merica Monday day. The admins went to Urban dictionary and found some tripe that 'merica has extra "If you don't love it leave it" connotations vs just regular patriotism.

I think we need " 'merica fuck yeah" week here at the HQ.

Posted by: Insomniac at February 04, 2014 09:30 PM (UAMVq) There was this one time several years ago when I tried it. After several matches that didn't work out, I met one woman where things seemed like they were starting to click and we were communicating back and forth. At one point I mentioned "moving back into my parents' house" and she abruptly broke it off. I guess I didn't make it clear that I had inherited the house after my parents died and it was mine now. Oh well.

I met another guy, big swanky high-end lawyer. Complete fuckin' douchenozzle. Kept sending me these stupid gifts off the internet. A pink Barbie boom-box, srsly?

My Sure-Fire 5-point plan for dating chicks online:

First of all Insomniac, you never let on how much you like a girl. "Oh, Debbie. Hi."

Two, you always call the shots. "Kiss me. You won't regret it."

Now three, act like wherever you are, that's the place to be. "Isn't this great?"

Four, when ordering food, you find out what she wants, then order for the both of you. It's a classy move. "Now, the lady will have the linguini and white clam sauce, and a Coke with no ice."

And five, now this is the most important, Insomniac. When it comes down to making out, whenever possible, put on side one of Led Zeppelin IV.

She happened to walk into the room when I was inviting my troops up for the annal branding/bbq event, and she was cute, so what he hell, right?

She shows up late that day, but wants to go riding, and most folks have already left so I saddle up Misha, my Arab, and put her on my best cutting horse, Bonnie and off we go.

I was tired, and Misha had bellied up after the day's work so I'd missed a notch on the saddle. Later-to-be Mrs. Tango takes off at a trot and well....I'm a cowboy so I give Misha a rib tickle through an open valley with nothing in it but 1 log.

Saddle slipped. Faceplant into log. A chocolate mess of cowboy, hat and pride.

Hah... I re-read it and saw the typo and knew the Horde wouldn't let that one go.

189 I think it's good to be busy and active. It usually makes you feel better and people can be...not necessarily more interested, but they just see you a little differently. I apparently am too tired to explain it well, but I hope somebody knows what I'm getting at. --- I know exactly what you mean. There is something appealing about "not looking." I've had friends over the years who would make awesome husbands, but they were so desperate to find Miss Right that they couldn't get over the dating hurdle. And I also think that when you have your guard down, as in taking a class outside your comfort zone, it's easier for someone to see the real you and feel comfortable enough to approach you. Especially for gals to approach guys.

"I wonder what a certain Ewok's Dewar's Profile would contain? "

I don't remember ever seeing any profiles for Valuright.

If there were, Ace could put down "Olympic class fapper" as an accomplishment.

204 Yeah. single again myself- nine years of marriage down the drain.

Done pretty well meeting girls with it- what's funny is how many college-age girls like dating older. "Guys my age only care about skinny years and weed." One of them, the one with D+ cans and a private pilot's license, actually used the phrase "whining beta-male hipster fags."

And no, I will not tell you which site I'm using.

205 When you start thinking about mating up, work on making yourself 100%, by this I mean (among other things) shoring up your inner weaknesses by honing yourself against the real world, adaptability, balance, banishing the hornets, laughing at the lure of the tar pits (slow death by stuckness/fossilization). Then you will radiate the most attractive state of humanity, regardless of your genetic gifts/drawbacks. Within days of achieving 100%hood, you will attract a mate who has done the same.

After googling "Dewar's Profiles", I recognized one immediately. I think I saw it in one of my brother's Scientific Americans back in the 1970s: Sheila Ann T. Long. I thought she was a pretty lady physicist. The ad still holds up, I think. What do you all think?

210 I met Mrs. E. in Spanish class one night at the local Junior College. We were both divorced and 'mature'. Interested in the outdoors and conservative. The old-fashioned way.

211 @209 Seems like she was (is?) a smart lady.

212 82 srsly, online dating? first, they don't want no stinkin' conservative racist h8rs. second, my sister tried it years ago and, after much disappointment, said it was like going through the bargain bin at the big lots looking for a designer handbag.

Thank God Mrs. Guido kept digging in the bargain bin. lol.

214 Per Wikipedia, Jerry Orbach was born in 1935. So that Dewar's ad dates to... approximately 1968 or 1969.

Also, anyone besides me know who Dave Edmunds is/was? Great rock musician who's worked with Nick Lowe, Elvis Costello, Stray Cats, the Everly Brothers, etc. etc. Anyway he did a spoof of a Dewar's ad in the late 1970s. Under hobbies, one of the things Edmunds listed was "making Elvis Costello look tall."

215 Neat. I wonder if we can find those spoofs.

217 Apparently, tatted men are hawt, tatted gals are nawt. I kind of like tatted chicks, as long as it isn't so over the top that I want to grab a bar of soap and wash the scribblings off. What can I say? I have a weakness for bad girls. Also, don't mention the Almighty What I find funny is "Christian (man|woman) looking for Christian". You know where you'll find a boatload of Christians worth your time? in church. Or maybe Christian Mingle.
