Some tips on meeting your true love

[I do not know if all of these hold true, maybe some]

It's harder to find matches for tall women and short men.

Men tend to select for looks. Women, while attracted by a nice photo, consider other qualities, such as sense of humour and level of education.

People who are too picky about superficial things — women who can't abide moustaches, men who insist on long hair — should let go of their lists and focus on what they themselves have to offer.

If you're not Brad Pitt, don't expect Angelina Jolie. Be realistic about who you are.

Love at first sight can happen, but for most of us, it takes time to get to know people, to discover if someone is thoughtful, kind, fair-minded, interesting.

Don't get hung up on finding your "soulmate." You might find one, over time, if you're open, but "the one" doesn't usually knock you off your feet.

Don't stereotype people. You can overlook a potentially loving companion who doesn't happen to fit your image of perfection.

Don't be overenthusiastic about someone you've just met. Don't jump on a potential partner too quickly. If you see someone you like, be warm, friendly, and take your time. Don't scare them off with too much intensity too soon. They might feel overwhelmed or trapped.

Don't drown a new acquaintance in deep disclosures.

Men in their 50s seeking partners at least 20 years younger beware. Older men are sometimes heartbroken when they lose their allure and the younger woman ditches them for a guy closer in age.

If you're overweight and/or unemployed and have bad teeth, and you're serious about wanting to find a mate, you should lose weight, get a job and get your teeth fixed before you start paying for a dating service.

I'll take either one of those guys!

[Tan Uki]

Which ones do you recommend, Lori? Most of them seem like good advice to people who are comfortable with being big phonies. what about the rest of us?

[Kitsune]

Hey Tan Uki,

Some of those points are for consideration of the other person. Phoney or not, I know you don't want to bug anybody, right?

[Evie]

It's not phoney if you really consider the other person's feelings.

[Brandy Alexander]

There's no "e" in phony. You made up a "phony" word. Phone+y. A neologism of some sort?

[Chung King]

I'd rather see Nicole Bass or some other big gal sitting on that guy's lap rather than Debbie Kruck. Debbie is beautiful, don't get me wrong. But to me the bigger woman would look more interesting. Maybe BOTH could sit on his lap at the same time. See how he'd like that!

I am reading that book Anthony. "Scar Tussue" It is a very good book.

Thank you, Lori. Couldn't have done it without you!

I love RHCP. I've been listening to their CDs all day today. One line from "Purple Stain" (Californication) struck me:

Up to my ass in alligators
Let's get it on with the alligator haters

No hidden meaning here.

I can talk to Nicole Bass about doing a couples shoot with Debbie Kruck and a guy too.

[Tan Uki]

I don't know if it's worth going to the trouble. Maybe it's just me. What do you think? I think it's important that the guy have a strong healthy look like this one. Get the same one if possible. The location's nice, too.

I don't think it's sexy at all when the guy is some pale, usually balding, wimp; even less so on the carpet of some cheesy hotel room. Not that I have anything against guys like that, or cheesy hotel rooms. I just don't think it looks good. This shoot is very sexy, and it might be difficult to capture that magic again. Can't hurt to try, though. I guess a genie could do it.

[LORI BRAUN]

Sure I could do it.

[Tan Uki]

I wonder if Heather Foster is stronger than that guy, and how she'd look sitting on his uno, right where Debbie is. That might make another beautiful combo. I'm not sure a couple would be as interesting as a one-on-one, which has more ego in it, I think. Just hermana y hermano. Depends, though.

Do you conceptualize/supervise these shoots?

[Lori Victoria Braun]

I do not think if Heather Foster is stronger then Lee Apperson.She is very strong as a women, but he is also very strong and a man with tons of natural testosterone. I do conceptualize most of the shoots. Paula Crain took this photo. She is very good.
