I will probably never find love...

IMHO Boring or Dull is as bad as having a poor command of the English language, which for me (If you are born in this country) = not very smart so that would remove him from what I would deem a dating prospect of interest regardless of any other quality that I would be interested in.

So this is an online dating thing I take it?

I will be honest, just from the pic alone, I didn't really see too much that was all that awful. You can guide the man towards better warddrobe choices (if it is THAt important). He wasn't a bad looking guy...

Actually, he could be a very good looking guy if he were not so utterly clueless as to his appearance. I mean, that is pretty over the top in bad dressing. I'm sure some women would not find him dull. He is just DEFINITELY not my type -- nascar and fishing can only be talked about so much. Plus, I like the liberal sort. There are no liberals in rural Kentucky.

Stop and listen for a minute...


"Are you a giver or a taker?"

Unless the IMMEDIATE response is: "YES"

the answer is "NO." and move on.

FFS. Talk about black and white.

In my experiences the women who decide that men are boring are usually very ignorant and aren't good communicators. Nobody is boring really....everybody has a past and some story to tell yet women are crap at finding things out and get bored easily.

I'm assuming you've been called boring before...

Darlin' I tended bar for YEARS and you know some of the other ways in which I earned a living. It was MY JOB to try desperately to find something *interesting* about the clientelle as my income was directly proportional to how the patrons found my disposition. So there I can confidently say that I found a way somehow to *make these guys* (and some women) seem interesting... or at least feigned interest well enough to make them think I found them to be interesting that they would usually come back to the establishment where I worked. Trust me when I tell you that I had ZERO romantic interest in any of the patrons as I never EVER dated the customers. This started when I began tending bar at the tender age of 17 for my family and was a policy that I never disregarded for the rest of my life regardless of my place of employ or my position.

What is the best way to make someone think you are interested in them or for them to become more interesting? Have them talk about themselves.

Then came the world of endless dating... MY GOD! UGH

Having said that, I also fully recognize that I am a ball of energy and require near constant mental stimulation. Combine the *social overload* with this fact and I think you can see where I arrived at my opinion.

I didn't say that these boring men were bad people or that they were somehow beneath me. I merely stated that this was one of my key dating criteria because I am very self-aware and don't enjoy wasting time.

I can tell you with 100% sincerity there are A LOT of boring people in the world.
