	I'm a guy, but I say stay the same.  If you change and become a dick
you might get a girlfriend, but you'll still be a dick.  It's better to be
alone and be able to live with one's self than be with someone and despise
every breath you take.  Besides, you'll probably find you can't really
change, and will only be acting, and this would make you a liar and your
life a lie.
	Why so shy?  There are ways to change this.
	Don't worry about this so much.  Take a look around you at all the
guys around you that seem to have girlfriends but are less worthy of them
than you.  Thousands of them, right?  I say this not to depress you, but
to point out if they can manage to get a girlfriend so can you.
	I say stay cool and do not become an  "un-caring brute."  If you try
real hard you can probably get a girl, but in my opinion you should wait
until you find someone that is right for you.
	One more point of wisdom, Heinlien (sp?) said, "You'll regret
everything."  Remember this, 'cause it's true.  So either way, be a dick,
get a girl (personally, I don't believe in this theory, and wouldn't want some
pathetic "abuse me, shit on me" girl anyway) or be cool and maybe don't.  I
know what I say though.  I'd rather get a girl being me, and know that she
likes me for being that way, than act, and always wonder why she likes me,
or if she even does.
	Sorry for the rambling, hope I helped.

I'm afraid I have to concur with Mark's conclusion that women don't like  
the sensitive guy.  Two reasons for this:

1)  I recently read a newspaper column in the Rocky Mountain News in which  
a guy asked the same sort of question.  He said something along the lines  
of, "I don't understand it.  I try to listen to the women friends I have,  
sympathize with their problems, care about their feelings, and then some  
jerk comes along and steals them away with one dinner out.  They consider  
me a good friend, but it never seems to go any further than that."  A  
woman responded by saying, "It probably is because, in general, women like  
to have projects.  If a guy is more or less without glaring faults, then  
they lose interest because there's nothing to perfect in him.  Moreover, a  
guy like that doesn't appear to need women, because he seems  
self-sufficient and as a consequence they don't see how they could  
contribute much to the relationship."

2)  Personal experience.  I have had many women friends who, seemingly,  
sincerely appreciate my friendship and capacity to listen to them.  I  
would qualify myself as fairly sensitive, but it's not at all an act-   
it's just the way I am (everyone in my immediate family is that way).   
I've had many friends (guys and women) tell me I'm a good listener.   
However, as the friendship progressed, I don't know how many times I've  
completely misread signals coming from the woman.  I thought there was  
potentially more interest there than just friends, only to find that they  
appreciated the shoulder to cry on, but nothing more.  I spoke about this  
with a friend of mine, and she said she thinks it's true...she likes to  
date guys who are "so bad for her." 

Jackson Browne summed it up well in a song a few years ago.
"All the times that I've been burned,
 by now you think I'd have learned,
 That it's who you look like,
 Not who you are." 

Any comments?

The news group title says, "alt.personals.ads", but after
reading some of the posts, I wondered if it should be
alt.personals.dating_techniques.  Anyway, if there are any 
interested parties, I'm doing boring research on the 
design of a toothpaste dispenser and I'm trying to get
some consumer opinions:

1.	What brand of toothpaste do you currently use?
2.	What do you like about the dispenser?
3.	What do you dislike?
4.	Do you like the way that it looks (geometry, height,
	diameter, aesthetics)?
5.	Do you like the way that it feels (gripability, texture)?
6.	Do you like the operation of the tube or pump (is it 
	messy, is it easy to use)?
7.	Have you considered its environmental significance
	(recyclability, packaging waste)?

Are we males so bad as all that? I do like to think that I do have a redeming quality or two hidden about my person somewhere. Although I must agree, I do find females to be much more graceful and easier to get along with then men.

 Hello out there in Netland,


           I have done alot of serious thinking latley, and I have come
to the conclusion that women don't like the 'sensitive' type guy.
I know this contridicts all current liturature, saying that the 90's
man can be sensitive, but my friends tell me that I am the most
sensitive guy they know, and well, potential dates seem to flocking to
guys that either ignore them or treat them like a piece of meat.
I am not grotesque looking, don't smell, but am extemley shy. I am
also a 20 year old virign, but would like to lose this title in
a meaningful relationship... so ladies.. tell me... should I change
to be un-caring brute, or stay the same? Replies appreaciated,

Depends on the car.  No, of course I'm not serious.  The answer
to your question is, "No, a guy is not more _attractive_ when
he has a car, he's just more _mobile_."

No, wait a second.  Having a car makes it more likely that a
guy will come around at times when a woman doesn't want him to,
so maybe _NOT_ having a car makes him more attractive.

This is a trick question, isn't it?  I _knew_ it!  ;)

Cari

P.S. Julio, all kidding aside, the answer is:  No, a car will
     not make you more attractive.  But I have to agree with
     the other person who replied to you ... having a very
     nice vehicle might reel in a few dates who appreciate you
     more for your materialistic possessions rather than your
     human qualities (but I wouldn't put any money on it.) :)
