Inside almost every British chick there's a bunch of this trying to get out (when what you really want is a bunch of this). It's a sociological default.

I can appreciate that. I definitely don't believe in having a "cookie cutter" type. Though having a woman who will make cookies is nice.

He has a damn good point, you know. I'm not inclined to listen to a bunch of males who tell me that just having a smile on my face is enough to make guys fall over themselves to get to me.

sdilley14 · Nov 21, 2008, 09:46 AM

Hey, that's fine. People don't know everything and could benefit from some friendly advice. Just trying to help a fellow NNer.

shifuimam · Nov 21, 2008, 09:54 AM

If I were a dude, Mariska Hargitay would be my ideal woman.

sdilley14 · Nov 21, 2008, 10:04 AM

Nice!

What would make her ideal to you? Ideal because of looks, personality, interests?

HEY!!!!! That's my girlfriend.

Then don't come on here and complain about your poor romantic life every time you start to feel sorry for yourself.

Some of us have tried to give you honest, sincere advice about how to improve your chances of meeting someone compatible yet you can never get past your own sense of diminished self-worth. At this point, we've had this discussion with you four or five times and yet it seems you are more interested in getting validation for your attractiveness and personal appeal from a bunch of near-strangers on the intarwebs than you are interested in getting that same response from men in real life. Methinks coming on here and bemoaning your problems gives you the warm-and-fuzzies (makes you feel good about yourself) without actually having to go out and get that same response from others in real life. I think by your early 30s you will be settled with someone and look back at some of these posts and laugh at your naivete. But you're going to need a while to get to that point where you can have the increased sense of self-worth you need to be successful in relationships.

One final piece of advice. It may be a cliche but it is true: If you don't believe in/love yourself no one else will believe in/love you.

Well, she's drop-dead gorgeous, for one thing. I like her character in Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, which is the only thing I've really seen her in. But if we're going on looks, I'd say she's it.

From the outside looking in, it doesn't make much sense but it's what we want.

osiris · Nov 21, 2008, 10:52 AM

The concept of my ideal partner keeps changing. I prefer the variety and selection anyway.

it's usually the differences and unexpected characteristics that attract.

I assume the question mark after Tina wasn't a mistake and you were asking if that was her. But no the girl I posted is Imani Coppola AKA Little Jackie. There is a resemblance in that pic, huh? I have a thing for women with big, poofy hair.

Dakar V · Nov 21, 2008, 11:36 AM

It was my first thought as well.

MallyMal · Nov 21, 2008, 12:00 PM

Actually, Imani is my second favorite poofy-head. My original all-time longest crush falls on Cree Summer. She used to play Freddie Brooks on A Different World back in the '80s. She also does a sh*tload of cartoon voices like Penny from Inspector Gadget, Elmyra from Tiny Toons, Foxxy Love on Drawn Together, etc.

Can't really find good pics of her online though.

Laminar · Nov 21, 2008, 03:39 PM

Got her.

16 or 17?
she's cute. good pull. (the pigtails)

Laminar · Nov 21, 2008, 03:58 PM

That was a headshot from when she modeled, so around 17 or 18 at the time. Twenty-two now.

I'll bet she gives great helmet.

brassplayersrock² · Nov 21, 2008, 04:10 PM

calverson · Nov 22, 2008, 04:05 AM

Failing that...

Believe it or not, I am actually getting close (emotionally) to a girl! I have known her for three weeks and we haven't even kissed! I am pretty sure we will tonight, though when I see her.

I will get some pics up soon.

Hmmmmm. I hope it ain't her. We have seen too much of her already.

Lucky you put in that extra personality requirement Calverson, I hear that Keira Knightley is a real biatch.

Not really my cup of tea, I like a little more meat :

You know, we had dinner the other day, and after two bottles of red she really relaxed.
