Telling a girl that you think she's very smart, and then informing her that she would find that compliment even more meaningful if she knew your general opinions on the intelligence of females is a good way to not get a date. Posted by prolixshore (Member # 4496) on :
Dang. I was wondering what I was doing wrong.

On a different note, what does PSA mean?

Public Service Announcement.

And here I thought this was going to be a thread reminding guys to get their psa levels checked for prostrate cancer. Posted by blacwolve (Member # 2972) on :

I rather think that being chauvinistic is rarely a good way to get a date.
Before that, he kept on going on about how nerdy he was, and I was good with that, since I'm nerdy too. He said he wasn't big on Buffy, which I adore, and I'm fine with that.
None of it was going to do him any good, since I have a very serious boyfriend, but at least it wasn't offensive.

How cool though, blacwolve, that he displays his misogyny so prominently right from the start. I'm sure it saves women who might otherwise have gotten involved with him a lot of wasted time and bother.

The problem (from a first-date perspective) wasn't that he is chauvinistic -- it's that he let you see it.
I also think that practically everybody has something that they shouldn't be completely up-front about if they are trying to get a first date.

I totally thought this would be about prostates.
If guys see the thread and think it is about prostates, will they be less likely or more likely to look at the thread, I wonder?

I imagine if they know what PSA is, in regards to prostate, they'll check in to see what the news is. I certainly didn't, though. I checked in to find out what the heck "PSA" was. Now I'm doubly enlightened.
I do think it's interesting that two people did check in, thinking about men's health, and they were both women. Go figure. Posted by Kayla (Member # 2403) on :
I can't believe I pulled an Andy Sipowitz and said prostrate instead of prostate.
My dad had prostate cancer. His levels are all under 1 last I heard.

I thought it was about PSA Airlines.

We used to play a great PSA for prostate cancer at the radio station that involved the sounds of people being run over by cars. It was my second favorite PSA, after the Join the Coast Guard Rap.

I assumed PSA stood for public service announcement, although my job title for three years was PSA (program staff assistant). Considering that job, it's kind of amazing I even opened this thread...

Yeah, that's probably not the best thing to tell a girl. When you assume that women in general are not smart, that doesn't bode well. Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
Have you noticed how many females are in this thread? And I assumed it was about prostates, too...
There must be something wrong with us. Posted by Chris Bridges (Member # 1138) on :

I'd say that if you're a jerk, being honest and upfront is rarely a good way to get a date. If you're honestly blown away by someone's looks, style, intelligence, and personality, I wouldn't think that mentioning that would be a problem.
