Your profile is so long I don't think anyone will make it to the end to see your disclaimer, I know I didnt.


I have feeling that this means her profile did its job.

I see a lot of men's profiles like that as well. It just shows they're bitter and angry and not someone I want to try to change their mind on the female species! Better to let sleeping dogs lie.

LOL, Indigo. I do love your posts. Bottom line is that no matter where you look you will find beocians of all types from both sexes. I have gay friends who complain about their significant others too. Everyone rants but few people seem to look in the mirror and realize that someone might be ranting about something that they did.

As for the "no strings" perhaps it is code for women who've had hysterectomies and are no longer in need of tampons! Just a thought.

Keep smiling and providing us your always colorful insights of male/female relationships and I hope to do the same.

Great freaking point OP. I have always found it much better to attract the bees with dam fine sweet honey than gnarly nasty vinegar. The past is the past..... let it die and move on, since you can't change the past wrongs of others than work on how you can improve yourself in the future so the undesirables will no longer bother you.

i would have to imagine that men can do a lot of hurtful things to women in a different way that women do them to men. women remember things and hold on to them but men simply learn from the situation and work with it. women are more suseptable to heart break than men are because of the sensitivity factor. im not trying to say women are the lesser soecies but im just saying that that is where a difference is. men on the other hand have the mentality that they are good enough to find another partner and wont be down in the dumps for too long so its no big deal. pig headed most women call it. the idea is simply not to disrespect your woman. and i do also agree though with the guy that said that its like a beware of dog sign.

I suspect it has something to do with the lack of balance between the ratio of men to women.

This a really wholistic view on it all, versus positing a theory to do with specifics. But within nature whether it be the animal kingdom or a or star that can no longer support its own weight by its own explosive fuel, lack of balance seeks to resolve itself back into balance.

When their is a lack of balance, chaos is introduced.

I would go as fas as saying that during the initial set-up of the site, unseen biases were inadvertently introduced. How does one create a balanced ratio of men to women? If I make a poll, how can I make that poll un-biased with-out favoring a gender, I have to pick 'men' or 'women' to list first or at the top depending on the format of the poll.

Even the word 'women' has the root word 'men' in it; admitedly I have walked into a triple X store and seen vibrators for sale that advertised itself with a picture of a women have some explosive orgasm.

Not to get sick and twisted here, buts it is a good example; who does that picture appeal to most? A man who is naturally attracted by such a hormonally driven thought or a women who wants to fulfill some need and feel as good as the pictured woman?

The point of that is to say the psychology of it is so very complex, deep and profound.

Secondly, because of this chaos trying to resolve itself, two major forces have become dominant.

1) Women can afford to be as selective or picky as the wish, therefore they do not need to compromise to achieve a suitable demand because the demand ontinues to flow in large volumes and rather consistently. :STOP: But rest asured their is a cost and the cost could be potentialy high; because their are that much fewer women, guys have a great chance to really familerize themselves with those few ladies, and there will be a few good guys who may look to other venues for finding their mate depending on the overall presentation.

2) Secondly because there are so many more guys then women, as a whole or a collective the men present a most powerful intimidating force, especially if women seek comfort and a sense of security.

All in all it comes down to this; Not enough ladies, guys become more competitive and new tactics good or bad are introduced. But as those guys get more agressive women being out-numbered are likely to get more defensive, whether by good or bad tactics.

I have no problem with women ranting about a-holes on their profiles, because I know they aren't talking about me.

I read a lot of profiles and blogs on other sites. Interesting people everywhere no doubt. Sometimes a persons attitude does almost slap you in the face.

I have seen profiles of guys who are the way you describe but I have gotten more email that displays that attitude.

I am amazed at how strictly specific they are. It is their recipe for happiness? Sometimes I get email from people who come across as total control freaks. First of all they don't have a picture but they want to see more of you...that bugs me. You read their profile and they say little except what they don't want. I have gotten some demanding email and you can feel it as you are reading it. They say, "I won't do this and I won't do that and if you are this and if you are that...then email me...but not here. I have don't have time to waste coming here and sorting though mail". Do they believe you will respond? And then you look at their favorites list and there are many on it? Go figure?

Some of these people are so dam ridiculous. It reminds of I when I was young and I had a catalog. I want this. I like that. I don't like that. Blahblahblah. But those were clothes and toys for cripesake...not human beings.

If some of these people were to get what they ordered...surely they get a person with no brain. A puppet waiting for the master to pull their strings.

It amuses me to read the qualities that some people require in another. I have a short list. Alive, breathing, walks, talks, nice and most of all likes me. No terms of endearment until we meet. He talks about his kids if he says he has them. And finally he has to be the man in the picture. Whats up with this? I got an email from a very attractive man a couple months ago. Then he became inactive. When he came back he posted a different picture of a whole different man...I saved the first one. HE needs to decide who he is. I have this word of advice to him. Keep the first picture. Dump the second one. And make up your goofy mind about who you are.

All in all I like this site. Most of the people I talk to are real (I think). They seem for the most part normal whatever that means. I can see I will be here for awhile.

Interesting Thread...I think revealing yet simple is the key. Showing some of your personality is a must thats how we attract..of its all in vain without a pic...sad but true.

Oh women do there best to belittle the man, in their profiles and yet read everything which doesn't.
I am not looking for a player and one night stand etc etc etc
yet I am a sweet attrative, sexy, pretty female - and she had a half naked pic.
They say it 100 times easier for a women to get a man then a man get a woman and this is so true yet it never seems that way cause of what they forget to mention in their profiles.

Hell my profile is negative to a point but I also get a lot of females understand that I know what is out there and I know what I don't want in a female.

Now excuse me have to go back to watching Little House on the Prarie

Thank you jft2255, I have a deep appreciation for someone who can so politely put across a valid point and thread without turning it into a female bashing trip and for including the other sex as well. Kudos!!!

Yes a LOT of men are very much the same when it comes to including some very negative things that they list. Of course you are very right about the fact that it does NOT deter those who are exactly what the ranters list they don't want because come on people lets be realistic here...The people who are a$$holes sure don't admit they are and honestly lie to themselves till they believe that they are what the others are looking for. It is a rare thing to find someone who can be aware of their faults and own up to them.

I see the most rediculouse profiles on here and complaining about men is nothing but trouble, and I tend to avoid such girls in favor of ones that are uninhibited and open-minded, a cute personality is also a huge plus.

THE MIND OF A WOMAN IS DIFFERENT FROM THE MIND OF A MAN. THEY NEVER FORGET ANY AFFRONT---REAL OR IMAGINED. THE BEST THING TO DO IS TO BE AWARE OF THIS AND LOOK ONLY AT THE POSITIVE TYPE WOMN. (THEY AREN'T THE MAJORITY) AND LET THE REST OF THEM STEW IN THEIR POISON. MEN ALLOW THEIR SEX DRIVE TO OVERLOOK THESE POISONOUS TYPES AND BE LURED INTO RELATIONSHIPS, BECAUSE THEY USE SEX AS A WEAPON. MARRY ONE OF THEM, AND AFTER THEY HAVE REPRODUCED, YOU'LL FIND OUT WHAT A COLD SHOULDER REALLY IS. (YOU'LL BE PAYING FOR FOR YEARS TO COME)

1. No matter how much or little a woman writes in her profile, she will get emails. If she has a pic posted, many more.

2. No matter how bitter she sounds with her anti-male ranting, a woman will still get emails. Lots of guys see these women as an opportunity.

3. Guys write crap in their profiles too but the intro email is the one that makes the difference to their intended target.

Keep the baggage in the attic. Don't open the door unless you must. And do it when no one else is at home. Think of the children...LOL!!!

I have feeling that this means her profile did its job.


Her profile's job is to not interest guys in her??? this is confusing. If the girl doesn't think I should read her profile why should I. Lack of confidence, or lack of something going on there so I'm not going to bother.

Almost any profile that says not looking for a player or user or whatever, almost instantly has me hitting the next button. Same with profiles that are just negative towards anything. Yeah sure the person may have wrote it when they were depressed, angry or hurt, but since then they have not changed it. Leads me to believe they are a negative person all around. If the best thing you can put in your profile is about how guys are jerks, I'm really hoping it says seeking lesbian relationship in your profile.

Your profile is your advertisement. It is to catch someones eye, creating enough interest that they will look further into you and see if the substance is as interesting as what caught their eye. Obviously it's probably going to be your picture or a post in a forum that is going to catch a guys eye and make him take a closer look, when he takes that closer look at you and feels as though he has just been crusifide because of all the bad experiences you have had with men, he's probably not going to contact you.

Carrie Bradshaw 2 msg:4


All men are ***holes and all women are bit****. Just something I learned from swimming in the pond.
I am kidding people....


There IS some truth in that statement!

It's more like

"all men can BE ***holes the SAME as, all women can BE bit***'s!"

Think about it,

when you break up/divorce someone,

isn't it usually because you feel the person is or did something that gives you the view point that they're either a bit** or an ***hole!? lol

At certain times "we all" can be one or the other depending on your gender (but some people can be both!). lol

Women that do this kinda thing just make themselves an easy target for the next a**hole because they've told the world they fell for it before. So the a**holes are actively seeking the "keep away if you're an a**hole" womens profiles because they know with a bit of charm, they're well in there.

My mate put something similar on hers and has just spent 6 months getting conned out of loads of money, time, emotional energy and now has zero self-esteem. He read her profile and thought "here's a damaged goods-easy target".

These rants attract the conmen. So ladies please, if you don't want a conman, just get to know people a bit better before you give up your pride, rather than ranting on PoF and exposing yourself as freah meat for the butcher! I have seen it on a few guys profiles too.....like its gonna make a scrap of difference?

I don't look past baggage either. As soon as a guy goes on an anti-biatch rant, his window is swiftly closed!

The exact same rule should apply to women who go on an anti male rant. :-)

Due to the original post.

It's ironic to see how some female profiles in dating sites, they express they are a feminist in a proud manner. Would a male get many females interested in a dating site if he stated out that he was a men's rights activist in his profile?

I don't put anything negative in my profile and I'm not exactly swamped with replies. Actually I was thinking of putting in a little rant so women won't think I'm too easy? Hmmmm, decisions, decisions, decisions.

I just read a random sampling of male profiles I got these winners from just two pages

Looking for an Intimate encounter.
I'm looking for someone that is not looking for anything serious. I want someone that can meet every now and then to let the "tension" out when needed or just going out for dinner or a drink. No strinngs
Im not really looking for a relationship but if something happens Im not opposed to it.
Hi im 6'2 sandy blond hair green eyes looking for no strings friends w/benifits love to try new things and very oral!!!
IAM VERY SEXY AND ENJOY A SLIM GAL OVER FOR GOOD CLEAN FUN.mOST EVERY GAL THAT MEETS ME LIKES TO GET DOWN.iAM NOT CONCEDED JUST LIKE TO PLAYAROUND SO GET BACK TO ME AND GIVE ME A TRY TONIGHT.
I'm looking for sex with married women with no strings attached
I enjoy threesomes either 2 men with a woman or 2 women with a man
Hi , I am looking for a casual, no strings attached relationship
have you fantasized about being raped lets talk
hoping to meet a lady no strings fling
looking to meet occasionally for discreet meeting
^^^^^^^

Might explain the rants sorta? maybe??
What means this no string???



I get the opposite impression Rose. i.e. This should not inspire rants but rather gratitude.
Women ought to be glad that these guy are being honest. that way when you get hit upon by one of these guys you can open their profile and see what they are really all about.
