It was mentioned by a guy newly sly that he was told by a female friend that he was more approachable. The question is whether in general a guy who is sly is more approachable?
We need to have some of our female members comment on this.
My own opinion is that a sly guy is likely to be judged as more approachable. My reasoning is that the normal social convention is that a male initiates a personal approach. A sly guy (by definition) is somewhat less conventional and more likely to have a female initiate a relationship.

intex, why do you put your response inside the quoted text? It makes it hard to see what is quote, and what is your response.

When a female approaches me she usually has a nasty look on her face and a baseball bat in her hand . . .

And me!!!
Intex... place your comment AFTER the final [/quote] and it will show properly and be easier for all to read and know exactly what part of the comment is yours. -

As for being more approachable....... I don't know about all that.
I'm 6'-1", 225 lbs., shaved head and visible tattoos..................... and I consider myself one of the most approachable guys you'll ever meet. But a LOT of people are instantly intimidated by me for whatever reason.
A couple weeks back I was at a pub with a couple friends after work for a pint or two. A woman about my age approached the bar and I moved to the side so she could get in to order a drink but she made a visible effort to avoid my opening and looked at me like I had the Plague.
I said "You can squeeze in here". Her response was "You look mean". I felt like saying "Well you're a prejudiced, stupid, superficial douche bag".............. but I just laughed and said "No problem" and closed up the opening while the fool stood there for 5 more minutes waiting to get served. My Friends were laughing theire asses off at her comment.

I absolutely agree with you. I have been trying hard not to do that but If I quote the only box I can type in is the quote box. Have not found any way to avoid that. This mail program works differently than any I have ever used. Would appreciate advise to do otherwise. -

For some reason the program for this forum is not working for me. At moment every time I try now to get new posts it downloads a program - did it 11 times so far. would appreciate any help in using this program. Likely need to e mail directly as I cannot stay at this site - it really messes up my computer. I am on a Mac using safari. First time I have ever had similar problem. My e mail is: rbmorin11@gmail.com
thanks -

When I first joined I could send quote in separate box, but no more. Bit earlier something got corrupted as I kept getting downloads - I opened one and then I got 11 more. My computer started acting up. It always right click when i clicked something. I quit all programs and rebooted. Computer would not reboot properly - finally shut down. I rebooted and it worked ok. Still on this site no way to message correctly so I logged out as I had earlier and re logged in. This corrected some problems. I logged out and opened firefox and logged in. Same problem in trying to send messages. I have had some problems in booting up - concerned my hard drive going out. Will take computer to shop this week.

It's the old "books by their covers" scenario. -

It sounds like you downloaded a virus. Get that cleaned up and switch to Firefox or Google Chrome if you aren't already using one of them.

I am on a Mac. There are no viruses. If it was one it would the first ever anywhere. I have tried using firefox and it appears the same. -
