[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am married now, but years ago I was on match.com and did pretty well (in that I met a lot of nice women with potential for relationship and had a lot of great sex.  Probably slept with 20+ women  in a 3 year stretch).  My theory was to UNDERSELL.  The goal is not to get dates, the goal is to get good dates.  So I wanted the women the be happy when they met me in person.  The WORST thing you can do is put an unrealistic picture, or lie about your age, etc., so that the date is underwhelmed when they meet you.[/quote]

Exactly ...

My fun car is a classic 40 yr. old Porsche I've had for over 20 yrs. (belonged to my best friend who died in 1990 and I bought it from her daughter).  I probably wouldn't even mention it or let a woman see it until at least the 3rd or 4th date because I don't want that to influence her reaction or assumptions about me, etc.  Nor would I have mentioned the "flying private" thing, that's a brag of some proportion IMO no matter how you slice it.  The 40 yr. old sailboat she'd get to see sooner, it's about the same value as a used Honda (an oldie but a goodie).

:wink:  :shock:

Sucker for a sailor. I can't imagine a more romantic first date. You and me on the high seas... drifting away from reality...[/quote]

No offense, but is this supposed to be special? A hunk of junk and an old row boat?
