I think the majority of women on here have this happen too. It's an epidemic.

so ya wanna go out sometime jk

But I've received abuse and lack of common sense and lack of intellegence in emails to my real profile also. That's why I made my profile as user freindly as possible. As for other peoples profiles? Sometimes you can learn a lot. Sometimes not enough. You definitely get predisposed impressions immediately if you would like to get to know them or stay as far away from their crazy, drunken, neurotic, insecure, bi polar, crack smoking ass as possible. After a while it becomes easier to determine if they are simple, or complicated. It becomes easier to determine if they are selfish, or selfless. It becomes easier to determine if they are nice, or mean. It becomes easier to determine if they are honest, or dishonest. I guess the only point I would try to make out of this is to take it a little lighter- for its an internet dating site. If you take it as serious as a wet fart in church you may have to change your expectations because people are going to be people. And if you think you are going to change 50,000+ members actions on an internet dating site- well I've got some prime swamp real estate I'd like to sell you.

Sooo you would be the boring one??? lol I'm just kidding. Point taken.

As for the fake womans profile. Creepy? Maybe. But 15 months ago they had limited capabilities on the site. And they needed bait for some real outlandish sexual predators that would get on the site and stalk, harass, send pornographic images, and insult and degrade women. We would bait them with the fake profile and knock them off. Its no longer needed for we have a great moderation system in place and great moderators, that I respect, to solve problems. I feel this is still the best free site there is. Just have to check your expectations and have patience.

And, I, for one, appreciate you doing that.

I, for one, do not believe anyone should be subjected to abuse. Unless of course they say "Pretty please with lots of sugar on top". Always remember- begging for abuse with blanket statements, generalizations, lack of common sense behavior, asking for advice while brain in in the close minded seat foreward and in the upright position, and constantly commenting critical in a negative, pessimistic, angry stance really shows your intellegence also.

Just because you're taken doesn't mean anything :). ALthough I don't email girls who are taken because I would feel horrible for the guy.

You didn't use an acute "e". Shame on you.

And, I, for one, appreciate you doing that.
...you're welcome. Boy we had some scary guys on here 15 months ago. I will never get some of those messages out of my head.

Lex, don't you offer a class on profile/bios?

As for the rest of this stuff, I like being lumped in with the "all guys" subjects. It's kinda like that "Lowered Expectations" thing that was on one of the weekend comedy(?) shows. Makes me shine!

What were we talkin' about?

Someone steal this thread!

Please!

Hmm well, my profile is a couple paragraphs but it's not a book. I always read peoples profiles though and will often touch on certain points in them (especially if they have things in common with myself). I think the problem isn't so much with us forum goers but the people that just hop on the site and are only here to try and get laid or something.

Ya know...I don't get all these abusive emails that I hear about. I try to respond to all of my emails at least once cuz I figure alot of guys have it tough out in the dating world...whether online or off. If I was stuck on myself so bad that I'd turn my nose up at every guy without a fishing license(in my profile)I would be lonely and bitter indeed. Screw that....

We have joked about many profiles out there. I used to have one that was just ridiculous. Basically a word play on bad profiles. But people have to learn on their own. They have to discover on their own that you need to attract people to you with your personality and not your abs and cleavage. And not repel them with a profile that screams "RUN AWAY!!!" I still get a kick out of people who put threats or ultimatums on their profiles and expect anyone to take interest in them....."I have 3 children and if you don't like it you can move on, jump off a cliff, cut your head off, die, or f*ck off!!!" Hmmmmmmm, desirable. NOT! "I have 2 cats and a dog. If you don't like it you can move on, jump off a cliff, cut your head off, die, or f*ck off!!!" yay! My type of gal! Feisty! "I'm coming out of a bad relationship and if you don't like it......well you get the idea.

Medicinal purposes only, huh?

online dating is like vegas odds

And how about those people who never make it to the forums with their "Feel sorry for me" solicitations of pity and pining for empathy? They just put it right in their profiles! Not very becoming or attractive I feel.

Man, you got that right. Whatever their age or appearance . . .

oh, I did that, didn't I?

DELETE

...read on to why we had that profile.
