What is the product you are selling? (I doubt you really want my opinion, so I'll spare you.)

Aw......Come on!.You can be honest with me. There is no wrong or right answer. The "product that I am selling is a very ,very, very good treat! There is no cost for a hotel and air fare! It is a sight seeing tour of beautiful San Francisco, with a walk on the Golden Gate Bridge, a stroll in Golden Gate Park, a visit to the huge Steinhart Aquarium ,lunch in exotic China Town, and a Dinner and Dancing Cruise on the beautiful San Francisco Bay at night, with a personal Tour Guide, who grew up in San Francisco. Of course,there will be cuddle and snuggle time, also.:cool:

I think that is a pretty good invite. If a lady sent that to me, I'd almost certainly visit her.

I guess I would add something about being willing to talk about any concerns before she has to make a decision.

Yes, the best thing about this is that it will cost far less than a cruise! I have already been to Florida. She lives in Florida. But, she has never been to San Francisco. She says that she is very excited to come and see me in San Francisco. A woman excited to see.........me! That has not happened in a long, long ,long time!:clap:

The fact that it was a generic sales flyer sent out in multiples kind of kills the "cuteness". Because you only had one person take you up on the offer doesn't change that it was just a generic flyer. Junk mail. Nothing personal about it.

When it comes to dating, I'd kind of prefer to be a bit special...not the product of a mass-advertising campaign. But I guess I am not you. I hope she doesn't feel the same as me.

Is the cuddling/snuggling session sort of like the two hour sales pitch that you get when getting a free vacation through a time share?...mandatory for the rest of the trip to be valid?

Maybe you could just stand on the corner and had out coupons for a "free date with me" ... If you handed out 100s, I'd be you'd get a few takers too ... Wow! even cheaper than flying a girl out because she would actually live near you.

Yes...I am a bit cynical. It would have been sweet if you had cared about one lady enough to address it to her in particular and only her....it gets funky because you really didn't care who accepted so it sounds like you don't really care about anything but having arm candy.

Then there is that exit's add was much more personal than a profile on plentoffish.com. I hear stories quite often of people dating many people to find the one they want and are wanted back.

Personally, I'll go on a date with about any woman, as I think ever woman has an interesting story to tell and I'm willing to hear it. The cruise community is pretty interested in traveling and many spend several weeks a year traveling. So hear is the way to get an extra trip in at no little cost. Sounds like a good deal.

I assume that you will honor any boundaries she has, exit?

I don't know that anyone has offered a free trip to visit and stay at their house on a dating online site as part of their profile....not the same thing. I didn't say he had to date just one person...just the concept of offering the same special deal to 4 different women at the same time sounds creepy.

Setting up multiple dates for the same time doesn't sound like a good dating strategy...even in the online world.

When I sent the e-mails out,for each woman,I wrote her name in after the "Hello." That is making it personal.Is it not?

Well.....my round trip air ticket,for my cruise out of Fort Lauderdale,Florida, costs more than the air fare that I paid for her round trip ticket to San Francisco from Fort Lauderdale.

She would cuddle with me anywhere and anytime. The night before the cruise,at the pre-cruise party,people told me that she was asking for me. We talked on facebook about 7 months before we ever saw each other in person,for the first time. Therefore,she really likes me for........myself.

So why didn't you like her for just herself and invite her only and first?

I was just curious,what the others would say. That is one reason why I became a scientist. Because, I am curious about a lot of people and a lot of things in life.

You sent the same invitation to 4 women and think by cut & pasting a different name in each one, it was "personalized"...I think we are only establishing just how much of a fool you are.

(My publisher clearinghouse sweepstakes entry: "You may be a winner, Mrs .....!!!" is personalized the same way)

Obviously you don't really care about her...nice people don't experiment with people's emotions no matter how "curious" they are.

Yes, I do care about her. Because she treats me like a human male,and not like some goody-goody man, who is not supposed to be touched.

Well...have you ever heard of this expression? "The next time you feel perfect, try walking on water." That expression refers to Jesus, when he walked on the Sea of Galilee.

I crossed the Sea of Galilee, on two different occasions, in a ...boat!
I did not walk across. Therefore, I.......am.....not......perfect!!! Why,oh why, do women expect me to never say anything wrong, to never do anything wrong, and to never be wrong?

Actually, I was simply hoping you would express some sort of compassion for this woman's feeling that you claim to care about...after you treated her like an experiment to pet your ego.

Any chance you care about her for her and her uniquenesses...instead of just how she treats you and how she makes you feel?
