Moretheless accurate, but:

A girl speaking openly about sex risks to scare him or to be labelled as "easy", so she would not attract a guy interested in a relationship.

Food: a pub is totally not romantic if you are over 16!

Flirt tips: al can be reassumed in "show some intrest for him, show that you care, but don't overcome".

Some of that can be considered true for myself. Honestly I don't like dating so the rent a movie and stay in is something I tend to do alot. I've never taken a scenic drive. I probably never will unless on the way to do something else.

The convos are damn near perfect. Except talking about what I do for a living. I don't mind talking about it at all.

I'm not sure njqt, but I would imagine if I were a member of a dating site, I would want to meet an honest down to earth women. I have read what some of these women have written, and the ads that caught my eye were the simple ones, not too much info, short and concise. Instead of relying on the popular belief of what men want to hear, be yourself and say what you mean. I believe your box will be inundated with e-mails responses.

Just my personal belief.

my take on some of this:

Men’s Top Ten Favorite Ways to Have Someone Flirt with Them
1. Displays concern for him, his feelings and well being
that's not sexy
2. Talks about things he likes or dislikes, making comments and showing interest
ok, but not sexy
3. Shows him your a daring or mischievous side
that's sexy
4. Sends him special/cute email messages
that's sexy
5. Shares jokes or amusing anecdotes with him
that's sexy
6. Compliments him on his screen name, attitude, personality and appearance
that can be sexy

7. Makes an effort to contact him in some form most every day
that's not sexy & borders on being needy, clingy, stalkerish, etc.
8. Sends instant messages when he and you are online at the same time
that can be sexy if not overdone
9. Discusses seriously the traits he desires in a partner
huh? anything resembling an inquisition is not sexy
10. Uses suggestive language in online conversations with him
that's very sexy

I think it all depends on the kind of person you are, but for me it's like this:

Men’s Top Ten Favorite Conversation Topics
1. Sex > after a few dates, when I know her better and feel at ease and relaxed being with her
2. Romantic fantasies > okay
3. Hobbies/interests in general > okay but I would put this lower
4. Hopes and aspirations > not really
5. Music > yes!
6. Dreams > not really
7. Movies > yes!
8. Entertainment > yes!
9. Vacations > yes!
10. Travel > yes!

> So I guess I don't agree with the top three. But what I would add to the top three is talking about relationships, love, men and women in general. Not past relationships! That comes in later when you know each other better.

Top Ten Least Favorite Conversation Topics
1. Past relationships > in the beginning, true
2. Other dates > true
3. Celebrities > false
4. Religion > true
5. Politics > absolutely
6. Antiques > true
7. Money > true
8. Fashion > definitely NOT true, I'm very interested in fashion
9. Gardening > very true
10. Marriage > absolutely

Men’s Top Ten Date Picks
1. Taking a romantic walk

4. Cook dinner at home
5. Coffee shop
6. Scenic car ride
7. Stay in and rent a movie
8. Bowling or Playing Pool

:rofl: Do you seriously think I haven't tried that numerous times? I did that from about age 19-30 in 4 different states. I don't think I know anybody who met more than a fling at a night club or bar.
