Hmm. I think you're taking me a tad too seriously...
(Knowing the girl in question, she'd probably just laugh. She works with
petrol-heads all day, after all...)

We're just saying it's a matter of presentation, but still, if it's
something she'd laugh off, that's less of a problem. :-)

No, we just care for our mascot. Which reminds me...
did you already propose yourself as a mascot for their F1 team?
You do have a reputation in that area.

Don't be too sure about that...

...there may be a reason for her not having a boyfriend among those.

Ah, I *see*... So the constant criticising and belittling is becuase you
guys actually *like* me? I was confused about that part...

LOL!

Yeah, I was wondering about that... Clearly very extravert and
self-confident girl, bursting with attractiveness, spends all day
working with blokes... and she's... single? WTH??

yes. (The fact that you might stop bothering us when you have finally
found a nice girl might play a role too.)

We said so time and time again, but if you did not believe us then, why
would you now?

Well, speaking for myself, it's never my intention to criticise or
belittle you - but I can see how maybe it comes across that way sometimes.
It's just that when you make what (with a little more experience) is
possibly a critical mistake, I at least am trying to speak up and say
"been there, done that, it doesn't work (or didn't for me)" emphatically
enough.
I was talking with my wife about this yesterday or the day before,
actually, and it occurred to me that you're probably not at the point yet
where you've made the mistakes that some of the rest of us have already
learned from (like the comment about "getting into her pants"), but that
maybe you say things like that here to see what the reaction is because
this is a "safe" place for that kind of experimentation.
Or maybe not.
But either way, don't stop trying things out. That's IMHO the best way
to learn.
As for why she's still single - some people are strongly averse to dating
in the workplace, because if you break up, that makes it more difficult -
you still see them every day, even possibly have to work with them every
day. Some people aren't comfortable with that thought or idea.
Some employers expressly forbid dating coworkers - though it's not as
common now as it used to be, I think; my dad's first wife was a woman he
worked with, and they had to elope to get married - couldn't let anyone
in the office know they were dating. She quit once they got married.
When I started working for Novell, though, there was a couple in the
training sales department who were married (and, coincidentally, also
shared the same surname as I - but no relation).
Some people who are extroverted also like having a relationship outside
of the environment where they "have" to be "on" all the time; a good
friend of mine in the UK is very extroverted when he's with a group of
people, but when he's with family (and we are fortunate enough that he
considers us family) he is a lot less outspoken - and he's commented that
it's nice to not have to be "on" all the time.

Let me rephrase - trying things out is the second best way to learn, but
the most effective way to learn.
The best way to learn is to learn from other people's mistakes - but
often times the lessons of other people's mistakes don't stick with you
as well as your own.
