Super Cute Nerdy Guy On The M - w4m (Knickerbocker to Myrtle Broadway)
Why, hello there. I saw you at Knickerbocker this morning and I noticed you right away. I thought you were very cute.
You are tall and a bit unshaven, wearing a leather jacket and glasses and a red and gray messenger bag. While I was giving you the ole creep eye, you started reading a World of Warcraft comic which made my little nerd heart sing! I don't play WoW but I certainly do love comics. At that point, I really extra wanted to talk to you, but you got off to switch to the express. Sad face.
Coffee and geeky conversation in the 'hood, neighbor?
Profile: A former popular girl who is not actually nerdy but a 20-something hipster who longs to be totally unpindownable.
Datability: She gets an 8 out of 10 (with 10 being Sydney Bristow and 1 being someone much, much worse that Sydney Bristow). She may be slightly annoying sometimes, but she's into you and that's always going to be attractive while it lasts.
Recommendation: I can appreciate a good comic book, but World of Warcraft? Come on. So since you read that in public, my guess is you and this girl would get along well. You may not be for all markets, fella. Take it where you can get it.

Wine and Roses - m4w - (Upper West Side)
you were finishing up....unfortunately, just as i was starting. you were sitting at the corner of the bar. was heartbreaking to watch you pay your bill right as I was ordering my first drink.
Profile: Kind of a romantic guy over 30...but not-so-smart.
Datability: He gets a 7 out of 10 (with 10 being the man you dreamed about [in a good way] after you left this place and 1 being the sloppy grossness you actually slept with after you left this place because you were too wasted to know better).
Recommendation: Go for it. You're single and ready to mingle, so why not? He's a nice guy and he'd treat you well. His stupidity might eventually be a deal breaker, but I bet you'd get a good run in before that happened.

Fitness Edge This Morning... - w4m - 24 (Greenwich)
 I know this is a long shot but why not give it a try. I saw you at the edge this AM around 10 or so...you were watching me and I was glancing at you, made eye contact a few times. Looked like you were about to come talk to me when you were getting a shake and I was still working out but a friend of mine came over & you left...anyways...if you happen to be reading this shoot me an email telling me what you were wearing, something distinctive about you, and what I looked like/was wearing and I will respond. Hope you're out there...
Profile: 24 year old recent college graduate with her shit together except she has yet to find a job. But whatever, she's young.
Datability: She gets a big ol' 8 out of 10 (with 10 being your future wife and 1 being a fetus in a trashcan).
Recommendation: Email her! You probably won't do any better! Yes, she might break up with you once she realizes she's too good for you, but you'll have had a really great run in the meantime. And who knows, she may go ahead and settle. Go for it! She's a good one.

Older Blonde - m4w - 36 (6 Train) 
You were an older blonde woman heading downtown (for a date?) yesterday. Couldn't take my eyes off of you! I'm 36, br hair and eyes, and was standing just across from you. You were probably late 40s, wearing black boots and tight jeans... hope to hear from you!
Profile: A completely clueless, perpetually single, nitwit of a kid who is younger than 36 and has a penchant for "older" women. Datability: He gets a 2 or 3 out of 10 (with 10 being completely datable and 1 being this guy). Recommendation: You're entirely out of this fool's league and age range. While he would want to compliment you he would, undoubtedly, continue failing at every single turn. Steer clear, Ellen. Posted by Havilah
After Effects Guy - w4m - 32 (West Village)
I see you everyday at work and have tried striking up a conversation with you several times. Yesterday I approached you at your desk and leaned over your shoulder to see what you were doing in after effects, hoping you would inhale my scent, but still no response... maybe you have a girlfriend, maybe you are too absorbed in your work or maybe you just aren't into me. Whatever the case may be, I want you to know that I think you are talented, smart, and very handsome. I would love to go sailing with you one day.....
Profile: Single 32 year old gal who probably works at a small ad or production company (with you).
Datability: For an LTR she gets a 5 out of ten. For a one time thing, I'll give her like an 8. I bet she's a freak.
Recommendation: Depends what you're looking for (see Datability above). If you want something long term, I'd say maybe tread lightly. She seems like she might have a stupid streak. Just saying. Also, it seems like you probably aren't interested anyway.

G Train Commuter 11/21 - w4m - 28 (BK)
You were a fellow G train (Court Square bound) commuter yesterday at the Hoyt-Schermerhorn stop, 11/21, around 4:30 p.m. Brown shaggy hair, black sneakers, and a green backpack. I was the girl who kept looking at you because you were so damn cute. Or more specifically, I was the brunette wearing a black and white skirt with a brown hoodie, seemingly preoccupied with my iPod. I wanted to talk to you, but I was convinced you would think I was crazy. You probably didn't notice me anyway.
Profile: Here we have a 28 year old lady with questionable fashion sense (at best) who probably considers herself an artist in one way or another.
Datability: She comes in at about a 6 or 7 out of 10 (with 10 being your own personal Kim Kardashian awesomeness and 1 being the pimply teenage boy who will eventually steal this girl's iPod if she keeps playing with it on the subway like that).
Recommendation: Well, you do carry a green backpack and wear black sneakers, so I'm going to assume the way a person dresses isn't top on your list of deal breakers, so I'd say go for it. It could y'all live really near each other, so if nothing else it could be really convenient.

You Work At Stop and Shop - m4m - (East Meadow)
i want to kiss u, i dnt knw y, something about u every time i see u all i wonna do is kiss u, nothing more well maybe more but a kiss is all i want, something about ur looks ur eyes they just suck me right into you i can stare at them all day when im there i tend to look around other wise id stare at u all of the five minutes im there im sure u have no idea who i am but if given the chance i would never say a word to anyone if it was to happen but the odds of u reading this slim to none but theres always hope lol!!! u work the deli
Profile: Under 30 but an old, romantic soul.
Datability: Well, relationshiply speaking I can't give this guy more than like a 4 out of 10 (with 10 being George Clooney just showed up and ordered a meat sandwich with a side of your salami and 1 being just the salami).
Recommendation: Come on, he just wants a lil' ol' kiss! Give him a kiss.

We Marched Towards The Brooklyn Bridge (OWS) - m4w (Financial District)
Walking from Foley Square towards the Brooklyn Bridge - you were gorgeous and lovely and short, taking pictures while walking with your redheaded friend. You told us the delay was because marches always bottlenecked right outside of Foley Square.
Would have loved to chat longer, but we got lost in the crowd...
Profile: Unemployed 20-something who wants to be part of something bigger than himself. Or just wants a social group to call his own.
Datability: I'm going to give this fella like a 5. He's probably not awful, but he's kind of a lemming and I just could not date his ass. But you're perhaps more politically active than I so maybe you're into a marcher. Ew.
Recommendation: I mean, if it were me? No. Definitely not. But since you also get into this kind of fuckery, maybe you'd have a nice time. Or maybe that redhead is your "special" lady friend and you're not even interested in the peen. Good for you.

You Offered Your Seat R Train Downtown - w4m - 27 (East Village)
 You were wearing a black suit with, I believe, tiny pinstripes--large and square glasses--and were the most handsome man to ever offer an empty seat to me.
I declined--my orange yoga mat and I were getting off at the next stop, 8th St/NYU--and you sat down and started working in your Sony VAIO. I kept reading on my Kindle, we exchanged glances, and smiled.
When I left, I thanked you, and you gave me an enthusiastic "Sure!"
Even if I don't hear from you again--thank you.
Profile: Straight, single, 27 year old actress/artist from Astoria with a penchant for romance. Datability: I'd give this lady a 7 or 8 out of 10 (with 10 being the girl of your dreams and 1 being the girl hanging out near the dumpster smelling her palms). Recommendation: Call her and make a date. I think she's a good one. Just know that she's not a wealthy lady (as she is obviously going to Yoga To The People and has no day job) and she's maybe slightly full of herself but she'll probably abandon all that to quickly make you the most important thing that has ever happened to humanity (not a great thing for her own psyche, but amazing for yours).

Girl on the R train 1245pm today - m4w - 30 (Dowtown)
Hi,
I'm looking for a beautiful girl i saw on the R train at 12:45 pm today 11/16/11 we both got on the R train at rector street and you got off on prince street you were wearing a white sweater and had a brown scarf with sequins on it, i was the tall asian guy sitting across from you. I wish i spoke to you but i feel woman aren't very receptive on the trains, if you would like to meet up so i can take you out on a date please email me back.
Bye
Profile: 30 year old Asian of average height. He is smart but has a fairly low self esteem.
Datability: I'd give this one a 7 out of 10 (with 10 being The Man You'd Marry Tomorrow If He'd Only Ask and 1 being the infant in the stroller blocking the subway exit). Not too shabby. Not too shabby at all.
Recommendation: Go for it, girl. This would be worth a shot. Be aware that despite his reference to the contrary, this guy is not tall and most likely not very good looking. If he were a tall, handsome, smart Asian who may or may not live in or around Union Square, then he would not be single at 30. Not in this city. I'd have found him.
