I was going to send this image to a person whose blog I read, who occasionally mentions the dearth of decent guys in her area, intending to say something like 'Hey, why not print this on handbills and scatter them where these clueless guys can see it? ' Because I get the feeling that this person is a really nice person, not to mention, a sexually intense one, given half a chance, but none of these bozos are giving her that chance. I just thought that was wrong, and this would be a funny way of talking about it, and sympathizing with her. But then I thought: it might come across the wrong way - does she really need a married guy advising her, even as a joke? -- so I didn't send it.
But I do wonder about the image. Why is there tape on it?

Lol! I like it :)
I do wonder what the tape is covering, though.
I believe that was a PostSecret postcard that was sent in, I'm pretty sure I saw it up on that site.
Haha, maybe I should save this one for future reference heh.
I can certainly attest to the fact that this kind of information isn't commonly available. Why, I didn't know till my mid - um.. but anyway... there are still guys out there today who think women don't LIKE sex -- or, on the flip side, exist just for it! Imagine that!
I'm sure glad I found out the truth, even if it did take me a while to get clued in....
I think that was a post card. I agree with Shannon that I think that it WAS a post-secret card. Since Frank always deletes the old posts, rather than archiving them, I can't be sure.
Poor lady...I don't mean to blame the victim, but really, a charming woman can't find a decent date? Considering how brain dead most men are when it comes to signals, perhaps she needs a third party intervention. It won't be YOU though dude...I suggest her her brother, or a friend she trusts of her own age.
When we old pharts impart our wisdom, we are ignored, and when we impart sexual wisdom, we just come across as creepy. So stick to listening, and make encouraging noises...this is one toaster you can't fix.
I'm surprised by how many people know about Post Secret. When I first heard of it, my impression was that there were very few. Now, based on my experience here, it's everybody. Which I guess synches with his general observation that everyone has secrets... though I do wonder about his comment that the best secrets are from people who say they have none.
I certainly don't think of myself as being an intermediary for someone getting a date -- male or female. However, I'm perplexed by this woman's case, because she really, really sounds like a great person - smart and sexy. Now,I don't know, perhaps she has some hideous flaw that doesn't come out in her writings -- noxious body oder, or she's a Republican (g) -- but failing that, I can't see why she isn't awash in guys. She just sounds like quite the find. Then again, I think I've mentioned that when I met my wife, I thought we would have nothing in common -- so what do I know?
You're right about the creepy. I think gay guys can offer suggestions, but that'd be about it. Which is strange, in a way. Why CAN'T guys offer suggestions? Would it be because the suspicion is that they have ulterior motives? They're being 'kind'? I've read more than once of singles, both genders, getting more than a little ticked at their married friends trying to fix them up, offering suggestions, and what not. Its a fascinating question, but, again, you're right: it verges on creepy unless you're careful. And I don't want to come across as creepy. Well, creepier.
I don't fix toasters. I damn near don't fix anything ... though I did duct tape part of the dishwasher last night.
If it is from Post Secret, then as the postal service about the sticker. :)
Nope, A, I'll just assume you sent it...(g)
