| Topic: Do You Think Men Actually Read Profiles..... | |
|---|---|
|
|
|
Any chance that it could be that most people, women, as well as men, don't take the time to read profiles? Is it possible that most people first notice something about the way a person looks, whether they encounter each other in this venue or in real life? I'm not convinced this is just a man vs. woman thing.
Maybe other things play a part in this. I know I'm attracted to very different people now than I was in my 20's and 30's. But there is still always something that is appealing in the way someone looks. Gotta admit, it is more often a person's smile that I notice than anything else, but that is still a superficial assessment. I've known some very unpleasant people who happen to have great smiles. |

I think some of us just get tired of the same crap from most men here. That's not to say I don't contact men first on my own, though. I'm sure men have the same issues with women here. and i understand and symathyse with you. as a man, im constantly frustrated in the vast amount of uninteligable wemons. also im confused by the fact that as our population doubles, the amount of stupid men, quadruples. work that one out. all im saying is, there are great people out here, but if you realy want to find one then you`re going to have to wade through the less atractive optoins in order to eliminate them from your search. just try not to forget that every fool you come across, takes you one fool closer to finding a good man Yes, I know. As I said earlier, I do contact men first as well, rather than just waiting around. If you think there are a lot of unintelligible women, try reading some of the emails I've received from men.

I guess it should be flattering, that out of all the other people who might be interested in them, they choose to focus on the ones who clearly aren't. I guess we're extra special, aren't we? 
"Special" is such a nebulous term, though....! 
You raise a good point, though -- is it really too much for me to ask for a message from someone I might actually want to get to know? And why on God's gray earth would you message someone just to complain that they've clearly stated in their profile they wouldn't be interested in certain people? When was the policy implemented that says we no longer have any right to our own preferences? I missed that memo. |

I know some don't read profiles. Mine states I'm a mod and they send me emails saying that they liked what I had to say
what did I have to say that was so interesting? Although some do read the profiles |

Do you think men actually read profiles, or just Drool over the Pictures..... 
I don't read to many profiles but you do have a point. Some profiles I have seen are really long. I don't think it is necessary to read the whole book just to get to know a few things about someone.....

But yeah, it just seems so simple to me, I'm here for friends, mainly the ones I've already made, and for the forums. Shouldn't be a big deal. I see women on here all the time who make an effort to show their best photos, list what kind of man they're looking for, and even make the first contact, and they get ignored. Then you have me, hiding her photos because showing them only brings out creepy men, being quite clear that I'm not here for dating, relationships, intimate encounters, marriage, blah blah blah, and then listing what I don't want, and I get mails from men who "want to get to know me better." No idea why; I was telling my mom about some of the chats I've had on here, and she said if she was a man no way in the heck would she bother with me. I thought it was hilarious.

I don't find your preferences offensive. We've all got them. Some of us aren't able to identify and express them as well as you do, but we've got 'em. Does it help to know that there are many of us who wish we fit your preferences and vice versa, Lex? No, maybe not...but it is true. I, one among many, find your honesty and wit a great deal of fun.

what!! if your interested in someone, you like their face, you liked their post in a thread and your thinking of mailing them then why the hell dont you read their profile. it may contain something that lets you know they dont want your email... example Englishrose or it will give you a 2, 5, 10 minute insight into who they are, wich will deffinatly help you to start a conversation that has a chance of going further than just her reading and deleting your mail if you want to talk to her and expect a reply, then the least you can do is read the blurb she has writen for YOU. if its too long, do you not mail her, or do you not read it and still mail her? |

I only email my friends. I would read a friends profile. I'm not really here looking for a date though. JMO a short brief profile can say enough about someone in this type of setting. |

Better than drool, I guess. Sorry, I find I don't have much value to add to the discussion topics tonight, so I am choosing to amuse myself instead. Thank you for your patience.

Hey, don't worry about it. I'm just here waiting for the next "nice guy" thread. |

Apparently they do read them, so far I've gotten two emails complaining about mine. Glad to know we do have some literate, albeit opinionated, men amongst us.
I got called a B!tch for not wanting a guy with kids. And for being pro-choice. I mean really, if you don't agree, move on. It's not that hard, a twitch of the mouse... And since it's never made much of a dfference with or without the profile info, I've currently got, "No smokers/dippers or hunters". The kid thing might be up there too, and then tossed a Nickelback song in. I may go Breaking Benjamin tonight.

I'm sure men have the same issues with women here. Amen to that! It's certainly not a gender thing... |

Most of the profiles I have read, cookie cutter like - copy/paste thing from one to the other, or downright a Resume for an employer, or insane amount of smileys and various font-art shaping to be either a heart or butterfly or you name it ... or an utterly boring and long poem that makes me fall asleep.
