So I got off of work early today and decided to spend the afternoon cruising craigs list. I know it seems to be a futile endeavor, but I'll keep on trying, what else can I do? I replied to 8 personal ads, that's right 8, and posted two of my own. I got a reply from one a couple of days ago, but she ignored me as soon as she saw my picture. Am I really that repulsive? That always happens to me, I'll be sending e-mails back and forth with a girl sometimes two or three a day, then as soon as she sees my picture she runs away. I have gotten two dates out from craig's list in the past year, but no second dates. So here's my standard reply to a personal ad, I always personalize it a little, but here it is. Interestingly enough, it includes a pic so here it is, maybe you can tell me what's wrong with me?
Hi,
I'm Jason, I'm 22 and I live in Albany. I know it's a little far, but distance doesn't matter if there's a connection. I have my own car and apartment and I've had the same job as a Senior Rep at a call center for the past two years, so I like to think that I'm reliable and independent. I'm into cooking, good classic movies and the occasional video game.
I'm 5'8", 275 lbs. I'm a little big, but I'm working on it, I've lost 20 lbs in the past three months. I have dark brown, wavy hair, blue/grey eyes and glasses. Here's my myspace if you want to see a pic:

I've never spent a lot of time in Portland, just the bus station on my way to a job in Yakima, so I'd love to make a trip up there, maybe you can show me around.So if you like what you hear, or would like to hear more, reply. If not, I hope you find what you're looking for.
Hope to hear from you,
Jason
(END OF AD)
Can anybody tell me what's wrong with me? Or maybe I just try too hard, who knows.

GLASSES should show style and flair. Yours are fine- but you want to "wow" not "uh-huh".

HAIR is so important. It frames your face, creates the shape of your head, and shows your ability to present yourself.
Good guy hair should take 20 minutes to do from when you step out of the shower to when it is dry and you walk out the dorr.Step One: cut it! Nobody, I repeat NOBODY can carry off the bowl cut. Except female models. (This isn't your fault. When God made guys he forgot to include fashion sense software). A little product is vital- it shows you make an effort, it alludes to presentation the way subtle streaks do on a female. Having said that, don't go punk. Be yourself, only with more gel. Lol.
Clothes- keep it simple but do try. It is important!!
Go to a nice menswear store where there are helpful shop assistants. Again on the God's forgetfullness thing, so try to get a girl or a gay guy.Look at the kinda girl you would date. Now look away. No, stop looking at her you perve!!!!!!Lolz okay. Now look beside her. WHat is her guy wearing? Would it suit you?
Know your colours. Browns, coffees, greys and blues are prpbably right for you.
DO get a nice coat and a nice scarf.
DO spend a little more so that you can get a nice pair of jeans.
DON'T but smaller than what fits you. You can do this for one outfit as a weightloss motivator, but you need the right fit.
DO be confident! Love yourself and love willcome your way.
