Was a little bored yesterday and started browsing on POF and yeah, I emailed someone, GEESH! I don't know why I do this lol.

Anywho, he's 52 (8 yr difference there) kids are grown and he's a carpenter. Here's what he has in his profile: "I love the outdoors and enjoy many outdoor activities. I like to fish, hunt, hike, farm, and take pictures. I may also be found in my shop, building just about anything. I get a feeling of great satisfaction when I create something with my hands. When I am in the mood I love to cook. I have some favorite recipes, but I always like to try something new. I have a great passion for several genres of music. Concerts and live music have always been a part of my life. I feel that I have several friends and I think I am easy to get along with. Humor is a recognizable trait present in my personality. Humor makes life fun and I like to have fun. I can't think of many dislikes except "jive" people. People that make a commitment and then blow that commitment off without an apology or explanation. It would be nice to meet someone that shares some of my interests but is not necessary."

So sent him a message telling him I thought his profile was interesting and would like hear from him. I really liked the part that he says he feels a great satisfaction creating something with his hands, because I'm like that. I was online last night but on POF my profile is hidden and I was going to unhide it because I saw that he was online but I heard my daughter making her way into the room so I didn't have time. She started talking to me and believe me when she does that I stop what I'm doing. So, I may have missed out chatting with him, don't really know. I think I'll add him to my favorite so he will see that I'm interested. We'll see.

I'm not that bold shrimps LOL. But I am going to file Moon's line about sexy tool men in my head IF he does contact me. I sent him one message, haven't heard from him, so yeah, I'll let it go.

While I was online yesterday morning, some guy IM'd me and before even accepting it, I looked at his profile and he had this nasty, big beer gut just hanging off of him...it was disgusting, not to mention his glaringly needy sounding profile. I didn't accept it. He got no reply from me. I just saw this morning he added me to his favorites along with some other guy that added me that didn't have a picture. He will get no reply from me either.

For me the guys I want to hear from don't reply and instead I get all the beer gut slinging goombas! Maybe I need to post my profile for a critique from everyone.

ROFL at "beer gut slinging goombas"!!! I know JUST what you mean! lol


It might not be your profile that is attracting them. Sometimes I just think the beer gut slinging goombas are just going to email EVERYONE no matter what. But go ahead and post your profile if you like- I'm sure the boardies here can give you some constructive comments for making it the best!


~shrimpy, who has seen her share of Goombas through OLD, too

The thing that really chaps me about BGSGs (beer gut slinging goombas - we have another acronym - yaye!!!) is that they describe their body shape as 'athletic', and then insist that their date be 'slim, slender or athletic'.
