For the guys!!

and of course, the ladies can give a shout out...

I never know what to say in an email. Do you guys like to be complimented on your smiles? I have a hard time getting a conversation going. It is like, where do I start?

UGGA!!

That works, what's wrong with that?  How about just saying hi and introducing yourself?

Try to keep it light and humorous. There's is not much more enticing and attractive than humor.

Except for boobiez, of course.

Here, let me help:

I'm wasp.  I like football, big trucks, guns, classical and rock and roll, funny movies, and the outdoors.  I'm retired military and work for a company where I get to travel.  I'm looking for a woman that is fun, sexy, happy, self sufficient, and not a raging bitch.

Now, practice writing me an email and let's see if we can help you out.   :-)

PS:  Don't pretend to be something you're not.  If you don't know, you don't know.

If you yourself follow football and you're a fan, then by all means keep up with scores. But don't just dive into the sport just for the sake of making conversation with a date. You wouldn't be yourself if you did that.

If you're looking for a conversation starter, one of those "if you could have dinner with six people who have existed throughout history, who would they be?" questions might be a good way to start.

The key thing on all this is to be yourself. Don't be somebody you're not.

ETA: Didn't see wasp's post beforehand, who is, of course, completely on target.

What Wasp said, be yourself (from what I've seen that's a big plus for you) and start by talking about what you like. Don't force it.

Oh, and nude pics are always nice.   :whistling:

UGGA!!

I was hoping for a boob shot.

I have been told by the Mrs. FD and others that no one can tell when I am smiling.  I literally have asked people WHILE I AM SMILING "do I look like I am smiling now?" and been told NO.

So I guess I am considered taciturn but people think my emails are hilarious.

Hey Wasp, thank you for writing!! As far as guns go, I an not an enthusiast, but I am learning and passed my NRA basic pistol course last April. I am on an ongoing lookout for the perfect revolver, in hopes for taking future classes.  I tend to be a historical aficionado, as I love history, and enjoy reading historical books. And no, I am not a raging bitch,,,, but slow to boil.....
Speaking of boiling, what is your favorite food?? New England Clam Chowder, and lobster rolls are my favorites, though I enjoy a good steak, medium rare.

Much better, dear, much better.  Now, loosen up a little, you sound a bit stiff.  Be more personable.

You are off to a very good start.  Say what you want to say, the way you say it.  The more you plan it out, the more rehearsed and less real it sounds.  Frankly, you want someone that likes you for who you are, so be you.   :-)

So far, so good. He actually lives on a street, that I lived on, back in 95'. 6 emails have been crossed. Crossing my fingers and praying!! I respond better by prompts. When he mentioned, he lived in Manchester, I took it from there, mentioning parks, and museums.

True common interest are a plus....but anything fake will be a MAJOR setback. Be yourself with confidence... If you aren't the one confident with who you are, then you are in trouble cause no one else will be. With that said don't think that your obscure hobbies will be a show stopper either, guys like women that are interesting as well.
