The Like/Hate Thread

The point they are trying to get across, Vad, is that you can't make yourself unapproachable (even if that is not your intention) and then expect to be approached. Look at it this way - when you want to buy a game or computer part, you are going to research the product. You are going to read reviews. You are going to look at what the specs are and see if it will improve the quality of your system. You are going to look into the company behind it and find out what their reputation is regarding stability and service.

What you aren't going to do is grab the box on the shelf covered in sand and paint with no information on it. Forget a thought of "I shouldn't take it thinking its a diamond in the rough, I should take it for other reasons and be pleasantly surprised", because you aren't going to even consider the passing interest in taking it. It will in no way have appealed to any of your interests. It could be some kind of alien computer part that has the ability to boost your computer's power to beyond anything we're capable of while simultaneously waking you up with blowjobs and coffee in the morning and you aren't going to take it if there are other, equally obtainable options with even a passing interest in appealing to your curiosities.

In other words, two assumptions are going to be made by someone looking at you if I interpret their descriptions correctly - Either someone is going to think that you aren't interesting at all, or someone's going to think that you are too lazy or don't give enough shits to put some effort into it (and by extension, them). Both are going to push people away that could quite honestly have been great matches that would have been looking for a sense of humor such as yours but had no reason to suspect you of having it.
