Posted: 4/2/2007 12:42:09 PM | Communication (or lack of it!) is basically why alot of misunderstanding occurs!. If you are honest and open in your communciations with people how can there be any misunderstandings?
I have been on this site 4 days approx. , after reading all the "what men like/dislike" I am now totally confused! lol.... To me humour is very important character trait, I'm not a princess (actually hate that term) I think I'm an independent women, who does love life, I'm not looking for a "wallet" have my own! What I put on my profile I feel, couldn't put any deep and meaningfuls , had to be light. Not the type to wear my heart on my sleeve. ! Maybe guys when I've been here for 12 months (god forbid!) I too will become cynical , I hope not , hope if I feel that happening I will see the signs and leave!. | |

Well said stillbrowsing. 
Not that I am browsing anymore but when I was... my profile was quite factual and lighthearted - height, weight, bodytype, appearance, hobbies, career, marital status etc - I didn't want to put my whole life history or deepest thoughts and emotions out there for just anyone to read. If I liked a person and got to know them, then I would choose to reveal little pieces of myself, when and if I wanted to. | |

Posted: 4/3/2007 7:19:38 PM | Well, Kama...we women do tend to be "wordy"...lol....guys can say in about 2 sentences, what it takes us 5 (maybe 10... :P ) minutes to say...*raises hand*...I know I have been found guilty of such a thing.
The thread is asking guys what they like and don't like in women's profiles, so their input is appreciated. No one should take offense. A "What Girls like and Dislike in Men's profiles" can always be started.
Still....I too hope not to become cynical. So far have been enjoying the site. | |

Posted: 4/4/2007 12:57:27 AM | Most women think they do things for men and to please men, as in dressing, make up. But most men I know, think women do things to please themselves or to please or upstart other women, on the whole.
Men in looking in profiles look for what a woman can be, not what she is or thinks she is, but what she can be within an equal relationship. It gets very boring hearing, my family, my kids, looking for an easy going, good sense of humour easy going guy. I don't know any blokes who don't have a brilliant sense of humour. Mind you I have known a couple in the past that lacked everything, in other words, thick.
Men want a women that will get into things with them, see and feel the adventure if life, even if that just means going to a different venue or taking on a new venture, different trip, hobbie or interest. Most men die of boredom, wonder why that is. | |

Posted: 4/4/2007 3:04:25 AM | Do some women actually say that in their profiles???
I can't believe it. Why would they?
Would it be because they have got hit on too many times by guys just being players?
I was really interested to read the post where it said that men want women to try new things and get out there and do adventures with them. That is good to know. I like that too. Boredom can set in quickly and relationships can become staid and stale. Lots of people say it's good to go off and do your own thing as an individual but I think that too much doing your own thing can lead to the breakdown of a relationship. Of course everyone needs their own space etc but it's really nice to share good happy fun times with your partner and experience new things and more importantly, WANT to.

Posted: 4/4/2007 3:30:53 AM | I hate seeing obviously old pics, or liking the pic and adding them to msn only to find their pic was 10 yrs old.
If they cant even be honest about their looks, they aren't going to be honest about anything else I think.  | |

Posted: 4/4/2007 3:34:16 AM | I hate that too. I was caught out a few times with that last year.
I reckon that 1 out of every 5 guys I met looked way better in their photo than in real life - and that was because a) the photo was at least 10 years old, or b) it wasn't their photo.

Posted: 4/4/2007 3:47:27 AM | yes, it does suck, big time,
especially when the woman has the nerve to front up and expect you not to notice,,lol
You have to keep that straight face and pretend you aren't shocked!
It's not that bad really. I wait till I get back in the car to giggle.
I also know of cases where women put in a pic of a different person.
As Rove would say,,"What tha,,,,!"
always be suss of glamor pics!!! | |

Posted: 4/4/2007 5:20:03 PM | Wow Stormy,
At first I laughed at your animated tale of hidden meanings behind what women say they want, but then it just got scary. You say eternity is important to you, well I say the here and now is more so. Aren't you afraid that by isolating yourself from the world and reality you will die alone? I agree that being around a lot of people can be frustrating, but you seem to see the modern world as an intrusion on your little boat world. No offence but you have to admit that's rather convenient for you to shun your responsibilities as a father and then bag out people who genuinely love family. I feel sorry for you as you must not have had very good experiences with yours.
I have 2 young sons who come first before all, I am honest and proud about being a mother I will always be in their lives to guide and reassure, until they spread their wings then I will give them freedom to make choices and mistakes on their own, only giving them advice when they ask...that's not meddling, that's love.
Makeup and Perfume? Is that all you could come up with? How about the real crimes of the world like murder and rape, torture and child neglect? It fascinates me how wrapped up people are in their own worlds, they fail to see the real issues.
As for my royal title..(I am no princess, far from it) but i am a lady and tried to keep my profile as honest as possible without unrealistic wishes like finding my true love...I don't think I will find him on here, but I have made some excellent friends and contacts, I would prefer to meet my partner in the real world (the old fashioned way) because unlike you stormy, I love the world and I love life! Get some  | |

Posted: 4/4/2007 6:11:05 PM | Princess, either you don't read, or don't read what people write. You assume I shunned my responsibilities, whilst I, not the mother brought up my children. Bad experience, just the opposite, it was full of fun adventure and learning. I moved here when they were in their 20's. But I understand how most women never ever want to give their children the opportunity to be free. Isolated, yes, isolated from society, no, just the opposite. Lonely, no, happy, yes content, yes. I travel lots, meeting new people. No I don;t like the junk women cover their faces with, it makes them look like clowns and not real.
The here and now, takes care of itself if you have planned your future, which I have done. From what you write, you have no experience in the real world of life and my youngest daughter years older than you, would have a good giggle at what you say. Living a long way from my kids gives us all the opportunity to be free of past controls and expectations.
There are things like phones, the internet, planes and ferries that keep us in touch. Probably much closer then those clinging desperately to their kids, because that's all they have in their life. Now that's pretty sad. My grand kids love the adventure of travelling to see me, as I do when I visit. Just because real people don't fit into your narrow perspective, or view the world from a realistic viewpoint rather than a delusional one, doesn't mean your tunnel vision is right. At your age, your children are your future, but to make them that for the rest of your life as most women do, is cruel and senseless as it suppresses everyone and leaves out the rest of the world to experience.
But at my age, sensible people look fro adventure and change to make living worthwhile and interesting. Sadly the most of the women around this age are far beyond anything other than meddling and fooling themselves, or they are having their adventures and loving it. | |

Posted: 4/5/2007 5:16:43 AM | Come on guys then tell us what you DO like.
Do you like women to be forthright and literate and say exactly what they are looking for?
Do you like them to describe what they are like themselves - ie their likes and interests etc?
Do you like a little bit of history and insight or do you prefer to get to know a woman first before she divulges personal stuff to you?
From reading the posts here most people like a clear true accurate photo on the profile which makes perfect sense. But guys you have to understand that sometimes women (myself included here) may be a little bit wary of putting their photos up on a site in case they attract unwelcome attention from unwelcome "admirers".
So that could be why some women don't have their photos up, not because they are overweight or unattractive, but because they prefer to show themselves to those that they choose to.
So what do you guys like then? | |
