She was talking on her cell phone and making the cashier and everyone else wait for her conversation to end before she would get her card out to pay. And this went on for number of minutes. She was getting in a mercedez SUV when I left the store. I'm not sure what else she could possibly do to make herself more unattractive. She pretty much had it all.
We all know you dont like American women, no need to flog that poor dead horse any more.

This reminds me of when my mom was on a dating site and someone who described their body type as "pleasantly plump" was 5 lbs less than a person who put "average".

Online Dating is Sales. You need to find a Customer that wants what you are offering. Too much hyperbole might cost closing the sale, too little will prevent any interest at all. Same with Job interviews. "Why should you pick me over the other applicants? Because I am worth it!"

I don't know what's worse.. denying or admitting your flaws but people might think you're fishing for compliments as well. I think I rather not speak.

I get that too. I HATE taking pictures!! While I have a profile pic up, I finally got 1 pic out of about 20 that looked decent enough to post.

Point taken. I should quantify that as MOST western women.

That's not how I look at it. To me it is: that's who I am! If you like me, fine; if you don't, fine again. Those who don't like me for who I am I don't need anyway. Now I only need to worry whether I like YOU! That's how it would work in the scenario of men contacting me. I'd rather do my own picking, though.

My photos don't do any justice either. None of them imply I should be executed.

What? You think you have any say in the matter? Everyone likes me. That is a given.

It was a general "you." It's not my fault English has so many redundant words and lacks so many necessary ones.
