Am I really so unattractive?

I’ve never seen you before, but I still don’t fancy you

I was never confused

Nobody fancies me either, but I do have an apple for a head..

Someone’s already done the pity-tick approach.

As an “edge” why not try the Millenium Bridge. There was a fellow who spent a 90 minutes sitting on the edge thinking about pushing off a couple of weeks ago, but in the end the firemen rescued him. It was a nice sunny day, and there were a dozen firemen, 8 policemen (4 at each end of the bridge to stop people crossing) and three boats with about 4-5 people in. All in all, a nice afternoon out for nearly everyone concerned.

Sorry Larky, but I’ve never seen your name before, you’ve never posted a question before and to my recollection have never contributed any answers before. Now there’s an implied criticism in your question of those that do. Is it any wonder no one’s ticked you?

Only one person fancies me according to my ticks, and judging by the fact that it matches the person I’ve ticked, that’d be my wife. I’m utterly shocked that nobody else can feel a surge of attraction for me simply for to the fact that I own a photograph of a cat and badger having a face-off.

Larky, I notice you are an actor amongst other things. This is not a dig at all but genuine curiosity: does existing concern with others’ approval make people more likely to become actors, or does acting make people more concerned with approval? Or both? Or neither?

no-one ticks anyone else… who cares

Larky. I sent you some kudos a while back for looking so cheery.

I was going to give you all my kudos and a signed nude photo, but then read you’re writing a musical. Sorry.

What is it to fancy someone?? I can’t fancy someone I don’t know. My avatar-photo isn’t very good – I CAN look much better – but hell, I am 40 and happily married – of course it’s nice when someone fancies you, but if any of you guys don’t, I can live with that. I’d rather be known as being funny….....:-)

Write a song about this predicament of yours, incorporate it into your musical, and I’ll tick you. Call it “Tick Me”, and it can either be a ballad or a disco number depending on the context you give it.

Here are some chords to help

Hm, a web 2.0 musical. skitters off, trailing a shining lightbulb

I’m not going to tick anyone just because they ask me to. I need to be wooed goddammit!

Knid, I might tick you for the cat-badger face off since you have brought it to my attention. It is rather fabulous.

Your ears do look a little big in the picture, maybe everyone on the site has an ear thing.

In the old days, B-flat was B and B was H.

ISD, that is because your pic is both a bit sinister and a bit myspace.

Larky, if you’re interested in online dating, may I introduce you to Faith?
(Faith, I promise that wasn’t a dig, just a joke, and besides he looks kind of cute in a dimply way, though I still won’t tick his fancy box)

edit: Ah, looks like Larky and Faith already know each other in the real world. I’m such a good matchmaker.

“a bit myspace”? have you been looking at my myspace page?

Pond has told me off for looking too surly as well. On the other hand mamfer once said “v.sinister pic there, like it” (but she’s y’know, twirly finger). I might try to find a happier one.

I think Mr Larky should try to find a surlier one.

Posted about 1 year ago by iSleepDiagonal

I agree. A surly pic of Larky would be good. Ladies seem to go for surly men. Look at that people we shouldn’t fancy thread. It was full of utter bastards.

AssumingVacant is the only person that fancies me. I just don’t get it, I have the most amazing stacks.

No-one fancies me either. I am learning to deal with this. In the past, I have found that saying “Please fancy me” to people doesn’t really work. That’s girls for you. Oh yes, they want a gsoh but only if you don’t look like Johnny Vegas.

And what the fuck is a high-concept satirical musical? Or, alternatively, give an example of a low-concept satirical musical.

That is all.

Good grief. All these people trying to raise funds for the sex-appeal. Dreadful, isn’t it? The only love-god I’ve acknowledged in this box-tick manner is Suckmonster.

I’ve not, ahem, ‘tasted carnal fruits’ with him myself. But many have. One starry-eyed cast-off described him as a “sexual fuehrer”. And frankly, I can believe it.

Thank you for all your advice everybody. What I have concluded after repeatedly reading it all once is that I need to:

1. Contribute more answers 2. Not be writing a musical and 3. Look more surly

...or jump off the millennium bridge.

Actually, andy005, I have contributed answers in the past, but only really when I think I know the answers and usually I just want to ask more questions. But I hope that this answer to my own question and some of the others it has thrown up goes some way to making you fancy me more.

I don’t think I have any surly photos. But my failure to look surly certainly helps explain why women have never really gone for me – thanks for that Beagleskin.

Knid, yes I am an actor because I love all the attention, and although there may be actors out there who do it for the love of acting alone, I’ve never met one. But isn’t it funny that we crave adoration when we’re pretending to be somebody else?

High-concept satirical musical means it’s not going to be like “Cats”.
