| Do You Men Read Our Whole Profiles?
Posted: 1/17/2006 5:12:11 PM | Nah...here in Canada where we have actual beer, it only took 12....
Still never understood why the marrieds still respond even though others specifically state that lack of persuasion... It just goes to show that a lot of times guys just really don't care enough to take the time to attempt to understand the woman they wish to be involved with.
(damn, shooting myself in the foot hurts) | |

Believe me, I always know when they have read my novel and when they haven't. 97% haven't. Not that I blame them.

Posted: 1/17/2006 5:28:03 PM | I read the full profile before I respond to an AD.
As for the forums I don't give them too much weight. I mean how many people really consider what they write? A quick reply to half a story.... a rude remark....a funny comment....playing Devil's advocate...rattling cages. 
I evaluate a person by what they write in their emails. | |

Posted: 1/17/2006 5:31:21 PM | Now now Arri...those married men don't care that I have no interest? Why???
lol...
The first thing I do when a guy messages me after I read the message is check his profile. Just in case...

Posted: 1/17/2006 5:32:13 PM | Actually, I'll flip that...I"ve met quite a few that I've really liked as a result of their forum postings....not because of half reading, playing the advocate or anything else, but it does let you see a bit more about who they are....Profiles can be just as misleading as anything else... If anything, I've learned to read between the lines for starts....and second...here on POF I'll never send a mail initially...just from the horror stories I've heard. Sure, maybe we're destined to be together(her and I), but as a result of so many mails coming in, I'm sure to be just tossed off to the side...READ/DELETE...
I still sleep well at night.... | |

I am assuming ... the only way you know they are married .. is because it says so in their profiles .. right?
Why don't you just add - no married men - to your restrictions??? That's kind of dumb not to block them right of the bat .. don't you think?
Anyway, married guys looking for a little nookie in the side .. are not usually very selective. | |

Posted: 1/17/2006 5:42:40 PM | I don't block anyone from contacting me because some just want friendship. I will chat with almost anyone. We all need friends...it is when the married men start talking sex to me I have to question what their vows meant to them. After all, a vow is giving your word and ifn your word is worthless, I doubt if the person is worth more.

Posted: 1/17/2006 5:45:37 PM | | Actually, Arri has a point. Some guys can read the profile and schmooze you right up the wazoo and you wouldn't even know it. Same holds true for women. How do you know that a certain percentage of the men that are approaching you are or aren't married? You don't. You have to go with the gut. Sometimes, some people are that slick you just get caught off guard..... | |

Posted: 1/17/2006 5:49:25 PM | Anyway ... Internet dating ... Instead of being a social setting for people to interact in a relaxed environment ... has turned into a used car lot.
We worry too much about fast talking salesmen trying to sell us lemons. | |

And nothing is stopping these same types from creating numerous profiles. Deception has no bounds. People will lie, lie, lie just because they are online. | |

Posted: 1/17/2006 6:01:05 PM | Take a walk down my city block... All the houses are owned....but a lot are singles...single men, single women, either or.... There is such a distrust for people in general these days, I don't think people even want to see the "true" in others...
The flowing say everything you want to say might come across as the "Said everything I wanted to hear"
The short and abrupt, polite yet succinct becomes "He's just not into me enough"
The list goes on....
When you get basically "spammed" by 10-100 a day, it deadens your senses as to who is really on the other end....Can't blame anyone, just go with it I guess....(oh, I"m not getting 10-100 a day.. ) | |

Posted: 1/17/2006 6:02:33 PM | arri, I'm not just copping an attitude. My post is based on actual experiences of my own. I have control over how much I allow a person in and I am ultimately responsible for what happens. My radar is very sharp now, and it has not kept me from getting together with guys, unless they set off my radar. (In which case I poof away in a moment!) But I do go out and meet guys fairly often. I just haven't found any that set off my other radar. | |

Posted: 1/17/2006 6:24:08 PM | So, I have to bet to those that have read this.....that given a bit of reading of the person in the profile, some more of the same person in the forums, you'll get a better understanding.
Not for a second do I know who you are.....but truly...READ/DELETE is the norm here for women, and I'm guilty of it myself. I'll admit it. What gives someone the edge? I'm gonna guess a decent active participation in these (oh my GOD, so boring lately threads).
Heck, if someone from SOCAL wants to take on two guys from Ontario, it can't be that bad.
Crikies! Did I just say that????
EDIT:: Guess I'm guilty of reading the profiles after all.....hmm.. | |

Somone's just getting ahead of himself attempting to read that profile while you are spanking your own bum.....how am I supposed to scroll down when that is presented right off the top eh??? | |

Posted: 1/17/2006 6:50:30 PM | Seriously though.....you post a pic of your face right up front......sooo many post either cleavage or butt shots... Not attempting to diss, but realistically had you posted either or, right off the top, you'd be receiving many many more mails than you already get.
It was a lame attempt to get over screwing up, but I"m trying....What is a woman to expect when they post that.....or even if they don't...some read, some don't, many respond....but some genuine people won't do either after reading what's in the profile. Remember as well, here is a free dating site where anyone can enter and not fork over dollar after dollar in hopes of meeting someone. It's a gamble... | |

Yes, well said. I've often wondered that myself. I don't think they do.
