Other people tell me, "but SciFiGuy, L.A.'s west side is totally depopulated of single women in their mid-30s, except for 24-karat snobs". Right... if I really believed that stuff, I would've stopped looking for the right woman years ago.

There are 10 million people in this city, quite a lot of them being on the west side, without being snobs... many of them also drive cars.

I put 2 and 2 together, and came up with a way to turn my van into a veritable rolling billboard... so, if they show some guy on the news who's been driving around with a fluorescent orange sign on the back of his van, announcing his willingness to meet a desirable woman, that guy is ME!yay

All's I got to say is good luck man, meeting people on here is a lot safer, at least you get to talk to em before they get in your van.

That's not how it's supposed to work... a curious woman wouldn't even need to get in the van (ha ha, like she'd want to ride in it---it's so noisy inside, it's like a big washing machine on wheels).

I actually set up my own web site, which is sort of like a short, one-page version of an online dating profile: what kind of guy I am, what kind of woman I'm looking for, and contact info. But here's the catch, the page invites interested women to set up an interview with me if they really would like to pursue things further. Gay men, as well as women who plainly don't have any of the characteristics I'm seeking in a partner, will simply not contact me.

I will say for the record, though, that despite my having put a lot of brainstorming into this venture, all I really am hoping to find is just one who's right for me.

LOL! It would more likely make the 6 o'clock news! People from other parts of the country just don't understand that L.A. isn't a town where flirting works... that "hey baby" stuff falls flat here. You've got to do something outrageous to get noticed.cheering

Well, I drove around with the sign on the 23rd... I felt very self conscious about it at first, but after being stuck in rush hour traffic, I sort of got used to it. Nothing in my inbox yet, but hey, this is Los Angeles.

Even before I clipped that sign to my van for the first time, I was thinking of it as a sort of pie that I could toss into the faces of online dating services... I thought it would be funny to have my neighbor take a photo of me smiling and posing next to the back of the van with the sign on it, then sending the pic to some online dating services just to taunt them.tongue Who knows, they just might turn me into the next "billboard Julie"!yay
