Aberracion
is completely right. All those weird articles msn has on its front page on 'how to attract the right man' always always say 'laugh at his jokes and ask him about himself.' I'm cool with both of those things, but it's a bit sad that the advice isn't 'be funny and nice.'

it really is sad
hindsight is an interesting thing. I've kind of come to the conclusion that I never really had an luck with women when I was younger not because I was repulsive or weird (well, not entirely) but just because very few of the girls I knew or met were normal people who were interested in things, or liked a laugh.

Well I'm hoping
I'll meet some people like that.

The bad thing about this city, is that everyone is clever. That means that cleverness (and humour to an extent) are no longer criteria for being interested in someone. They have to be really hot as well.

not something I'd considered really
that said, all of the girls I've been with for longer than token periods of time have been good friends first, so looks aren't a driving factor at all.

Ah well
I've got a bit of time yet I guess.

definitely
the best things happen naturally in my (admittedly fairly limited) experience, and I don't think you have to worry about your looks
