(Msg 683) MEN DON'T EVEN LISTEN TO US. THEY LOOK AT OUR A$S WHEN WE WALK AWAY THOUGH
Why do you think gentlemen always insist on holding the door while a lady walks through?  | |

Posted: 8/17/2006 6:02:36 PM | The guys that don't read profiles and just send an email are the same buys that say that women don't email them back.
There are a lot of pretty faces out there but if there's no text that intrigues you what do you have to work with???
Just my thoughts,

Posted: 8/17/2006 6:15:27 PM | I defintely read the profiles. I find however that not a lot of girls put very much in them.
I also personally respond more to e-mails that contains information that they read my profile such as questions on specific things i said. I hate the ones that sound really generic because you never know if it's just a spam style mail where they send one to everyone of if it's actually serious. | |

Posted: 8/18/2006 10:09:02 PM | | ^^^^^^^^^^^^Another one assuming wel all dont read your profile. Makes me laugh at how you can say that. It should say some men dont read as do some women do the same! | |

Posted: 8/18/2006 11:02:34 PM | I read the entire profile. Sometime a couple of times before making a contact. I also know (because they say so) that people feel differently about their "requirements." For some these are deal breakers. For others it's more like a christmas wish list- gimme as many as you can, but with this list, I don't expect it all.
If I don't measure up to the "requirements" perfectly, I only contact the person if I feel that there is a compelling reason to overlook it. And I am always upfront right away about my shortcoming.
Nurse, I was one of those (the dog.) I'm sorry.

Posted: 8/20/2006 10:46:54 AM | Wasn't sure exactly how to post so I just clicked on the original entry . . . forgive me if it's an online faux pas. However, that being said, I've found after reading a number of the postings in this thread that us guys are really getting a bad rap!!
As a guy that IS actually looking for a long term relationship, I not only read the entire profile of a lady that I may be interested in, I usually will read it multiple times before initiating contact. I love it when the profiles are updated often, as I am afforded a little more info each and every time the profile changes.
I'm fairly new to this online thing, but HEY, come on, cut us guys some slack . . . some of us out here are actually trying to find the RIGHT woman, not just SOME woman. I may not have the world's best memory and (pay attention guys) have to make a little cheat sheet if I'm chatting with more than one woman at a time, but I'm honestly only contacting women whose profiles match most or all of my preferred criteria.
Now a little tip for you ladies out there . . . ONLY POST THINGS IN YOUR PROFILE THAT YOU MEAN. Nothing is more irritating that chatting with a young lady with the hopes that you and her are a match only to find out she's not the woman that she said she was. If you don't want kids, SAY SO, if you aren't interested in Long Term, DON'T SAY YOU ARE, if you don't like smokers SAY SO, if you . . . . etc. etc.
okay, rants over . . . replies???? | |

Posted: 8/20/2006 7:59:24 PM | I actually read the whole profile. But then again I am not like many other men out there.
I am not looking for a beauty queen or just looking to get laid. I want a solid friendship that may develop into something more. | |

Posted: 8/20/2006 11:10:58 PM | Speaking as a man, I suppose that a lot of men don't even read the BEGINNING of your profile (present company excluded of course).
The reason I think this is that I've responded to a couple of postings on Craig's List in the Women Seeking Men section clearly saying that I'm a man stating an opinion.
Each time I was inundated with emails from men, mostly in form-letter style and many accompanied by pictures of their...e-hem....you know their, uh….well, pictures you don't want to see, asking me to meet them.
What the...? Obviously there are a lot of really dumb guys out there. You'd think that evolution and lack of dates would have done away with such dumb men by now. But noooooo [insert Steve Martin voice here].
..and if you don't believe that humans evolved then do you think that God created all these guys this dumb? I dunno; just asking.

Posted: 8/21/2006 10:23:27 AM | | Again I think the men that do read profiles are here posting in forums so we don't get e-mail from them as much (or they have read our profiles and realize its just not what they want) and the ones who just send form letters or "hey you're hot", or want the exact opposite of what you do and e-mail you anyway don't read or write much, at least not here. | |

Posted: 8/21/2006 5:55:37 PM | please sort the men out from the boys and give the men credit where it is earnt.
yes i,ll admit there are a lot of boys and players out there just hoping for a quickie(and some women too-going by some of their profiles), but there a lot more men out therer just trying to find the perfect woman for themselves.i always read the whole profile just in case i get a response and then at least know what not too ask in future correspondence. | |

Posted: 8/23/2006 7:49:49 AM | Okay folks, here's the deal.
Men and women are different, but in many ways, when it comes to looks, we are the same creatures. It sucks, but it's really all pre-programmed. Biologically speaking, men are trained to be attracted to women with big chests, small waists, and child-rearing size hips. It's thousands of years of evolution--if you believe in that theory--or alternatively, it's just the way God made us men. The heterosexual ones. So be objectively pleased that someone says you're good looking, get's excited, and maybe glosses over your boring profile. Maybe you're really not that interesting to read about... Maybe that's where you're hurt. But still, women can many times let their guards down for an exceptionally good looking male species and not really care too much about the jackass. This wouldn't be me, after all, I'm a refined hillbilly. Seriously, don't women get excited too when they see a hot guy and caught up in the physicalness? Does it really matter what is then written? Think about it.
Most women have rules on their posting. Men don't always like rules. It's an authority thang. Rules are not always set in stone. We try to jump around, behind, over, or break through rules. For instance, if a women says she won't date a man with kids. No. Let's cut to the crap. If the man is handsome enough, and his kids are cute, likely, an exception will be made. EVERYBODY wants to meet someone who, to them at least, is very physically attractive. Yup, pretty much men are ALL about the looks--at least at first.
So, besides the fact that most men think with their penises, I don't think it's a dirty, rotten shame that men don't read entire profiles. Another thing....what's the point of us writing an articulate response when all that will be said is "oh...he's so nice...wish he wasn't bald..." or "oh, he's so sweet" but there's still no WOW factor with the looks. I think women should be patient.
And, maybe it just comes down to we can't understand what you're saying. Too many rules. Too many "Deal Breakers," too many "I hate it when boys do this kinda thing." Have something novel and interesting to say maybe. Keep it simple if we men are really simpletons.
Later y'all - Keep it real.

Posted: 8/23/2006 7:31:28 PM | | Guilty... Arri and Vixen, I read the whole profile and often find myself answering even if not interested at first glance, only because I found something particularly funny, witty, deep or moving. And you know what, I found some great people that way... Sometimes, the profile is just not enough. | |

Posted: 8/23/2006 7:54:31 PM | I can't speak for other guys but I do and always read the profiles before writing for I believe you can't go on a pic alone in getting to know someone.('')
Mind yo I'd like to bring up something for the girls then here. If usually answer the ones that I have alot in common with and just ask to chat and what not and am what they are looking for or at least what they say they are looking for yet they end up reading and not replying. I mean why come on here and ask for this stuff and when I have all that or some of it not even a reply back.???? Even an email would be polite.....
Peace out.

Posted: 8/24/2006 12:14:34 AM | I'll read the profile IF she meets my superficial standards(Pic/size), and she actually spent time writing it. at least I can get a feel for how smart she is. Most of you chicks on this site don't care at all and it shows:
"HAY IM ___ AND ILIEK FUN AND PARTIES AND BOIS. LOLOL WAANNA NO MORE? ASK!"
haha, right. | |

Posted: 8/24/2006 12:51:00 AM | Hi everyone I have to agree that most guys are looking at the pic and then if she's cute they email hoping to hook up for a quickie. I would agree with the probably 90% that was stated, but I was thinking its probably higher. there are actually guys out there though who are actually looking for more than that and I would be one of them and that's the only reason I know they exist though. I know a few real life friends on this site who have been on here for a while and they (women) have said they dont really hold much hope for Mr. Right anymore, there are just too many ***holes out there pretending to be nice till they get what they want.
Now I hope the one I sent this email never reads this but let me tell you what happened. I skim over the search results. I look for something that catches my eye. Sometimes I have gotten to the tenth page before I actually read a profile. Then one day I happened to pass over one and for some reason decided to check the profile, like all of them its cut off in the search, and there wasnt really anything much to read. Anyways, I read the profile and immediately sent an email telling her it was an excellent profile. No nonsense but not mean or demanding, and defined the relationship I would like to be in and that it actually gave me a warm fuzzy (do people still know what a warm fuzzy is?) to read it. Now I would love to meet this woman but we've only talked a few times and we both have kids thats a big factor in meeting to me. Anyways just from her profile I am definately interested and would love to have things work out if it is true. (God I hope she never reads this)
So yes I am one who reads the profiles and we are out there. What I wanted to say though, was that I do not memorize the profile and as someone had said, if everyone was as wonderful as they say, then why arent people fighting over everybody because we are all the perfect match? So I look at the whole profile but only look to certain 'keys'. If enough 'keys' are there then I will email and just introduce myself. make no mistake though ladies, this is scarey stuff here. As the men on here we are looked at as the ex or the guy who just wants in your pants. We are treated badly too. Sometimes that overides the desire to contact someone. Especially when we see someone on 30, 60 or 100+ favorites and I think that should come off the info on our profiles but thats JMO.
Anyways I have written a book now and I appologize. If the woman I sent my email to reads this and realizes it her, I appologize to you as well and OMG will I be red if we meet. Happy fishing to you all and have a great day
