Just what is it that makes us decide there will be no date two? Or, more importantly, date three, with a particular guy? Turns out Ellen Rakieten, a former producer for Oprah, and Anne Coyle, a copywriter -- along with help from dozens of unsuspecting men -- may have the answers. All 311 of them.

Heh, my husband has 1-10 covered, although I think he could work on #8 a little more.

He’s got #12, but needs more practice at #11 as of late. Of course, opportunities have been lacking. Pretty good, so I think I’ll keep him. :)

Plus, he puts up with me! (Maybe that means his #8 is better than I’m giving him credit for.)

The only ones off my list are blood relatives and nuns. lol

What do you have against nuns? ;->

Seriously, if you dated this Lemondrop character and her list of flaws, you might expand your own list.

Imagine her sitting at the dinner table muttering "#105...#277... and #63... TWICE!".

Well, I'm 0-for-12 on your list. I guess that means I was made for you.

I'll have to tell my wife, though.

Anything associated with OAFrah is un-datable by definition.

That alone explains why ellen is having trouble with men.

For some time there have been certain rumours about Oprah. If true, it’s very possible that her staff shares her preferences.

That might explain this article.

Considering that NYC is a socialist hell hole, I don’t care what the ratio of men to women is, I wouldn’t want one from there.

Seeing Oprah’s name very quickly removed my interest in this thread.

It’s top 20 and climbing fast on my list of major turn-offs. Black is for heroin addicts and Morticia Addams. It converts perfectly attractive ladies into goths, wittingly or unwittingly. It’s the darkest color so any chips are visible from miles away. And like tattoos, piercings in odd places and toe rings the majority of women would never have dared tried it before someone else did. Conformity posing as rebellion is boring.

Where I grew up was the burbs on the edge, close to the country. I learned to drive on country roads, but was still close enough to the city. I was between both worlds. Given the choice, I’ll take country any day.

Ergo, the losers are trying to console themselves with “well, we didn’t want ‘em anyway...”

The problem with salad topped with meat is what’s under the meat.
