She sounds like a mean spirited person looking for someone to bash. Put whatever you want in your profile. It is personal to you and your preferences. If she doesn't like it, too bad for her! Sounds like she hurt your feelings. I'd forget about it. You don't owe her, or anyone else an explanation of what you're looking for. | |

The line in question read: 'definitely not after a woman who brightens a room by the mere act of leaving it!'.
I thought it was self-explanatory, why would anybody want the company of someone who constantly saw the negative in everything? Who literally sucked the life out of the room? We all seek the company of positive people, right?
Well I'm just wondering, if you follow that quote by heart then why did you bother replying to that woman who fit that description? Why would you want to talk to someone who constantly see the negative in everything? I also read a quote, "Walk your talk."

Well I replied because I felt I was unjustly painted as some sort of jerk and I wanted right of reply. Based upon her own profile description of herself, I thought she would be reasonable enough to want an explanation. | |

I had some kid practically young enough for me to have babysat, message me just to say that he thought it was stupid that I asked for no messages from guys with four wheelers in their profile pics.
Some people are just bored and mouthy enough to waste their time, and yours, like that. | |

I find people do not get that upset about negative comments and such unless it hits a nerve.....for some reason.... | |

Posted: 7/9/2009 7:44:41 AM | you mean people actually send folks messages about stuff that they DON'T like in somebody's profile? 
what a waste of time and energy. its no wonder some folks are alone.
Granted, being alone isn't necessarily a bad thing, I know plenty of married people dying for some alone time.
But thats another topic | |

Posted: 7/9/2009 8:25:26 AM | If you stuffy people with poorly written, offensive profiles would get off your high horses and say hi to those of us who never get any mail we wouldn't have to resort to such extreme methods to get a little interaction.
So there! | |

Posted: 7/9/2009 8:42:36 AM | Although I don't send rebuttal e-mails to members whose profiles I dislike I do see the point of your "woman emails me out of the blue."
When I read descriptions with too much negativity I back off.
I would rather read a comment saying "I'm after a woman who brightens a room."
It is easier for me to write what I don't want and when I do I attract the negativity - kinda-sorta what happened with 'woman out of the blue' in your case. | |

Posted: 7/9/2009 8:45:58 AM | Unbelievable! So happy I came across this complete waste of time forum. Then again, this site is notorious for wasting time. OP, maybe if you came down off your self rightious horse, and posted a more friendly profile then a sarcastic one you would get friendly responces. Just a thought......... | |

I could not agree more!! In general, you will get a better response when you put a positive spin on negative things. | |

Posted: 7/9/2009 9:23:15 AM | I am sorry, but I have to say, if you feel forums are a waste of time why do you even bother to come? Why even bother posting a comment? Wouldn't that would be contributing to what you consider negativity and a wasted forum post?
There are all walks of life in this world and on pof, what they consider to be "forum worthy" varies. | |

Posted: 7/9/2009 9:39:07 AM | | Don't be sorry. Say what you feel. That's what the forums are for anyway Saying what you truly feel is never a waste of time or space. I was looking for a responce..thanks.......... | |

My horse is neither self-righteous nor negative, in my opinion anyway.
The forum is never a waste of time if it invites debate and differing opinions. | |

My profile has more 'likes' than 'dislikes'. We are who we are, the sum of the good and bad in us, and much of my profile was written to attract the women who 'got' the concept of irony and appreciate that sort of humour.
If I had written 'I'm after a woman who brightens a room' it would have been bland and meaningless. By writing 'I'm not after a woman who brightens a room by the mere act of leaving it', the contacts I've received have appreciated the humour in the statement and it was one of the things in my profile that prompted them to email me. We all know people we'd hate to be seated next to at a dinner party after all! It filters the women who appreciate the line was not meant to be malicious. | |

Posted: 7/10/2009 7:43:02 PM | | I've used lines like that verbally around people and it's amazing how many people simply don't have the wit to understand what was just said. Ex. In conversation I remarked that a guy "was never known for using a word that would send the listener running for the dictionary". He thought I was complementing him. My guess is she's one of those people who just isn't sharp enough to pick up the wit in your line. You're better off - I'm sure a sharper, smarter, wittier gal is just around the corner! | |

Posted: 7/10/2009 9:05:19 PM | | To be brutally honest, the comment is insensitive and a bit cruel. Fact is that negative people tend to be hurt people. Do we all seek the company of positive people in our lives? They are nice to be around, but to exclude others because of a temperament that might be a bit 'off' is a bit shallow don't you think? After all, chances are pretty good that you will be there too some day... it's only a matter of time. | |

Posted: 7/11/2009 4:54:36 AM | | People, ALL, would rather be around someone positive than negative... its a simple fact. There is nothing wrong with saying that... it doesnt communicate that you will never accept a bad mood or a bad day... we all have them... however, like you, I dont like someone who is always bitter and angry... that is way too many issues that they need to deal with and shouldnt blame everyone for not wanting to be around it. no one does. | |
