#1 I'm partial to the works of french enlightment writers, such as Voltaire.

#2 Having a gorgeous car will help you get a gorgeous wife.
Cars are status symbols. And all women are attracted to
status, hence all women are attracted to beautiful cars.
It turns them on, it gets them wet.

Having a nice car alludes to the fact that you are financially capable and have the intellectual know how to afford said car.
Women look for men who are financially successful and intelligent, when looking for a romantic partner. It proves that the man can be a good provider for the woman and her future babies.

#3 I'm infatuated with women that have that bomb ass pussy, so there's no way in hell I can be fairy.

#1. Having a nice car does not allude to the fact that you are financially capable or intelligent enough to afford the car.
When I see a guy cruising in a pricey car, my first thought is: This guy's in debt. He may have/had good credit to obtain this car, but he's probably broke with the payments and insurance. And probably looking over his shoulder for the repo man. And probably living off his credit cards.

#2. "Women look for men who are financially successful and intelligent when looking for a romantic partner."
Ok. What's wrong with that? I don't know too many women looking for broke, stupid men to spend time with, do you?

IMO, I would look for intelligence (able to carry on a conversation on various topics) and temperment/mannerisms before I would look at his paycheck/tax returns But that's just me!!

Hey, Mars, your cartoon was really sweet ... but it seems so sad ... am I interpretting it correctly?

It seems the person is dreaming of finding true love over the Internet, having the perfect date -visiting a carnival, going to a movie - then ending up in bed. On the bottom, this person is alone in bed, hugging a pillow and crying (I think) ... aww, how sad!

5/22, because i'm feeling punny:
As the great Jedi English teacher was quoted in saying, "metaphors be with you."

Your interpretation is correct. I actually thought it was clever when I saw it and it does sum up internet dating somewhat although I'm in the middle of a success story myself and some of my friends have married their internet paramours (some were adulterous)...

It was mostly posted for amusement...unless there are people out there experiencing the trials and tribulations of internet dating like the lonely cartoon character....

I actually think internet dating gets a bad rap (stigma)..I've had better experiences (meaningful and some carnal) through the internet than in the regular random world. I think it all depends on people's intuition and judgement as to whether their internet experiences are for the most part pleasurable or horrifying.There are some shelvies and damaged goods out there though but it's not limited to internet dating although the internet does attract such types..kind of like the Church attracting pedophiles....sort of a refuge I suppose.

cyaninthehood, I'm a 56-year-old woman struggling to pull myself out of financial ruin that resulted from a lot of bad medicine, which in turn resulted in a disability of almost six years, during which I never collected a dime of disability benefits and had trouble working. I also graduated with honors from a university with a very demanding curriculum. Poor doesn't necessarily equal stupid. Far as dating goes, that's one of the obstacles I'm up against. Men don't even want to casually date a woman in my circumstances. My character or the kind of person I am doesn't matter. They don't think there could be anything about me that makes me redeemable, that compensates for what has happened to me. Maybe you didn't mean what you said to be as harsh as it sounded (or read), but a lot of hard-working, even brainy Americans are being plunged into poverty despite their hard work and brains. And it could happen to anyone.

GMonkey: thank you so much for sharing that story. Hearing that a 58-year-old woman finally found a good man gives me a glimmer of hope. And I haven't got much. I'm single. I can count on one hand the number of dates I've had in the past six years. I'm now recovered physically and I really want to start a relationship. But I've tried to assess realistically my odds. I've asked myself who would have me. The answers aren't encouraging. A very special man who is educated and successful professionally who would be willing to overlook my life's circumstances and accept me for the person I am would have me, but men like that are rare and most of them are already attached. Other kinds of guys (I won't call them men) who would have me, I don't want--the kind who seek out women who have been lonely and suffering for a long while because they're vulnerable and ripe for being exploited and abused.

I go to events that are free, and I just check out who is there. I've had a flirtation going with a nice man for awhile and I've asked him out twice. He said yes both times, but with the caveat that he was "very busy." He does have a high-pressure, administrative, killer job, so I know that's true, but I think he was gently letting me down because he's never returned my asks. He's got barriers up. So I keep going to events I can afford to attend, to meet people and to meet men. But so far I've had no luck.

I fail to thrive this way. I'm not happy without a man in my life, but I'm better off alone than I would be in a toxic relationship. I deal with the loneliness the best I can, and I try not to completely lose hope.
