curious george. you sound like a dork. pepe lepew? zen master on cloud nine? no wonder you didn't get any responses. hmmmm known people who've hooked up successfully online, but they are the few and far between. go the traditional route. go out and socialize make friends meet more women and soon you'll find someone you like. better than pictures and typing, and cheezy typed lines doncha agree? man. 33 but you sound really kiddie - uh immature? i dunno maybe you really are a focused dude who knows what he is doing just a goofy kinda guy. well women don't think your writing ie, "i am as romantic as pepe le pew" as sexy my romantically-challenged friend. no, i'm sure the ladies must've passed you over over that remark alone unless they are dorkier than you. well hope this helps, even if it doesn't sound constructive, take all these comments with a grain of salt.

Curious G.

Most women on those ads are white. White women never give us Asian men the time of the day, even in the clubs. What makes you think they would on a dating site?

And, you probably got a photo no girl wants to look at.

My sugesstion is this: Asian men are already portrayed as good guys, boring types, and not a "ladies man." Why don't you get a little kinky in your profile and show them us Asian guys can be players too? If you sound too serious and desperate (as you have), the girls don't like that. Most girls still deep down inside want a "bad boy type." Especially white women. Oh, you get the point...

ya, like I said, poor old curious george sounds like a loser. sorry!

I don't know whether this is a fake ad or if it is real,

but I think if it IS real, I believe I have actually met you before :[

are you that head injury guy I met awhile back?
chicky poo Saturday, February 23, 2002 at 05:33:57 (PST)

yeah, that's a good idea anon.why don't you tell him to replace his pic with pauly shore or lyle lovettes? That will bring a couple of laughs but if you really want him to get some he should consider chow yun fats pic or russell wong.

Why do women always dream of finding the good looking, bad boy, player types?
Even if they are married to a successful, loyal husband. They won't be satisfied or fulfilled. Is this true Asian girls?

curious george,

You're as romantic as Pepe Le Pew? No wonder no one wants you. Here are some problems with comparing yourself to Pepe Le Pew.

1) Pepe Le Pew is an outdated Looney Tunes character (at least by 20 years). Referencing him shows you are old, outdated, and out of touch with the current world around you.

2) Pepe is an unattractive, smelly skunk. I vaguely remember those cartoons where that cute female skunk would avoid Pepe at all costs.

3) Pepe is a childish Looney Toon character aimed at young children, not mature women seeking a serious relationship.

Why don't you provide the link to your profile on match.com? That way, everyone can help you out better. For example, if your photo is bad (bad lighting, ungroomed, big glasses make you look too dorky), or your other self descriptions can be improved, I'm sure someone will comment and help you out.

I love meeting new people, and I realize that I am young and somewhat inexperienced on this topic however, in my case, my idea of a perfect date is probably to go play sports or hang out with friends and just relax, nothing too fancy. If the guy makes a sexual advance towards me - im not really sure what Id do, but if he likes me then its cool as long as he doesnt like jump on me and demand sex...but if we can laugh together and just have fun im down with it all
