    Default Average Joe

    Did any of you girls watch Average Joe last night? Do you think Melana made the right choice? Basically she had to choose between a self made 27 year old multi millionaire with his own bar who looked average and a hot looking guy who still lived at home with his parents and was a student. Who would you have picked?

    I would really like to know your opinions on the show. I am from that other newsgroup (Aces High) and I am sorry that some of our members came here and disrupted things a bit. Some of you showed up at our newsgroup and were a big hit. I think the ratio of females to males there is like 99 to 1 so if you want lots of attention please come by and comment.

    By the way pick a male sounding name if you do not want to be fawned over. Some of the guys in there are actually not guys.

    Who said I am a guy?

    That thread could get very interesting. On one had you have the female perspective on the other a bunch of nerdy guys.

    BTW did you see the show? What did you think?

    Emily if I called myself Emily in any online game I would have guys chasing me all the time. You have to give them a break as I am sure some are great at the game but probably have a zero social life so they see a female in the game and they want to impress her by shooting her down or whatever. Most of them are just nice average guys when you get to know them.

    However you call yourself Flyboy or TopGun or whatever and they treat you like one of their own.

    So you're telling us you're a woman. Well on SW here, you shouldn't pick a name like "Flyboy". You won't be "harassed" over here. Be yourself. That's what we like about this board.

    Are you a women? Pls don't take this the wrong way (fly boy).... I am not addressing this to you personally but why do the AH members constantly post in the ladies section!?!

    Ok i know it may not be that much of a big deal but i do find it rather rude. We have guys here who have been members since the birth of SW and they don't post in this area. This is the LADIES ONLY section pls show some respect. Thanx.

    Point taken.

    Actually if you check out that thread one of the guys just posted this. He is pretty insighful for a nerdy computer game guy:


    Posted by GoFaster:

    Behold, the power of a gym membership.

    You didn't think it was all about intellectually-stimulating conversation, did you?

    One thing you have to keep in mind, and I saw this early on, is that this lady was in it from the get-go as a way to further her modeling/acting career. One of her jobs is to be an entertainer at Kansas City Chiefs games. She likes the spotlight and the glamour. She needed the television coverage. She wanted that show almost as much as the show wanted her. To that end, it makes sense that she would continue with the show, even after it was revealed that none of the guys were particularly striking in a beefcake sort of way. She never really had any intention of keeping any of the guys in that group.

    One other thing worth pointing out is that she was on another tv dating show called "Meet The Parents" where 3 bachelors or bachelorettes compete for a Hawaiian vacation with a beautiful person by enduring the "tests" of meeting the person's parents. The contestants interact with the person's parents, playing various games, taking a polygraph test, and so forth, and in the end the parents select the person they'd like to see go off with their daughter or son. She didn't maintain a relationship with that suitor either.

    So really, its no surprise that she'd pick some looker. She wasn't in it for any sort of long-term relationship anyway. The best the trader could've hoped to be was her sugar daddy.

    But don't worry about the trader. He's got the right plan when it comes to dating. He wants the girl to want him for who he is, not what he has. He wouldn't have given her a blank check, and I suspect she knew it. Therefore, he had no value to her.

    The original link to this site brings up this forum so that is why they are posting here I guess. It is not out of disrespect. I would mention to them not to do it but that would tip them off as to who I am.

    I do not want to be evasive but lets just say that I have been in that forum for a long time and I keep my gender confidential. I hope you can understand. I am not there to get a date. I go there to discuss issues (like ), the online games I like to play, and have fun.

    In other forums I will post all about myself but in that one I like to keep it that way.

    You know Adam is a pretty exceptional guy. He is a self made millionaire at the age of 27 and was featured in Fortune magazine. He also made her cry with his sweetness and made her laugh all the time. She had fun with him on their dates. He had a nice place in New York and owned a cool bar also. There are probably not 1 guy in a thousand who have come close to doing what Adam has done. And he never bragged about any of it nor even told her before her trip to see him.

    So she picks the other guy because he looks better (even though he still lives with his parents).

    I think some of the women on this board who cry about their awful relationships should have watched that show. It might have explained why they always end up with jerks.

    Looks to me like yet another troll. This one however obviously has regection issues and I sure don't think it's a woman either.

    I would have taken the dude with the not-so-pretty looks. The fact that he made something of himself shows that he doesn't expect things to be given to him- he expects to and does, work for his rewards, and would most likely apply that to his personal relationships. He wouldn't just expect to get the girl and assume that would be enough- he would endeavor to keep the relationship and the girl sparkling. The pretty boy clearly expects to get by on his looks and have everything handed to him- parents STILL providing for him?? Really, does anyone think he will ever get past believing having his looks and charm will be enough?

    I am surprised you think I am projecting my personal experiences on this. Nothing is further from the truth. I posted that after I read the "I hate men" thread and see that many of the girls in here are having relationships with jerks who treat people very badly. They can't seem to understand why. That show was an excellent reason why this happens.

    The woman in the show lives for the moment. She picked the guy who looked better even though he was still living with his parents (not the most ambitious guy) was awkward at conversion (probably used to women throwing themselves at him) and had no real goals in life that he talked about.

    What do you think Adam will be doing in 5 years 10 years and 20 years from now? Yes that guy you see with the big mansion and nice family and cottage and loving wife will be him.

    In 20 years what do you see yourself doing? What type of guy do you want to marry?

    I think you are 100% right. Too bad so many people don't see that. I guess it comes down to what you want in a relationship. People don't see to realize that there is good chance that the guy you pick for a short term fling may end up being your spouse one day.

    And the life you live may have more to do with that decision than almost any other one you make.

    You sound like my fiance,we watched the show together and he went on and on about how she is going to pick the better looking guy who lives at home ,he got so mad about this,my fiance is by no means an average joe,he is better looking then that jerk she picked,but he has more the personality of adam.I agree that jason guy had no personality all he could say is,I like you,I like you alot,my fiance said she picked him because he was a better kisser,probably did,thats all she kept talking about or seemed concerned with,I think that show just validates how americans and society are just concerned with looks,its not how smart you are what you have acomplished or how sucessfull and what a good person you are,just boils down to how good you look,very sad.

    There is a new one starting up. They filmed it before they aired the first one so they can use some of the same twists. It is shot in Hawaii. The woman is a beauty pagent winner.

    If you missed the first one you can catch this next one. Should be interesting to see if it plays out the same way.

    Looks like we will have to wait a bit. First episode is Monday January 5th at 10 pm.

    I was totally addicted to the first one. It was like watching a slow motion train wreck. Hope the second one is as good.
