Guilty as charged!
and my long, boring, dull profile is available for public scrutiny, even if I am not.
However, if I ever want to get a whole lot more "hey baybee, wanna hookup.." I'll be sure to put my leather pix back up.
This is exactly why I don't have them up now: the moment I am openly provocative, guys quit reading my profile and just write to me with no thought at all to whether they or I might be a match.

When all else fails, lower your standards. | |

Thank God! I have found that my "book" eliminates the marginally literate like a charm.  | |

Without the novel, it's every man in the world.
At least now, I'm being written to by educated men who haven't read my profile instead of by the village idiot. | |

Well duh. I figured that out the first week. The more big words you can use on it, the better. If you can get them to use a dictionary, you have done a community service. | |

It's very simple. Some of us seek substance and the ability to construct a coherent sentence is a first clue in this venue. It tells a lot about a person.  | |

Funny how this works; it was my forum posts and, to some lesser degree, my profile that brought my lady to me. It is impossible to overrate being articulate and taking the time to think about what you are saying. | |

I think this is really a universal experience rather than one relating to the failings of men. I see a lot girls' profiles I would not waste my time on simply because they cannot be bothered to write more than three lines; it makes me feel like I am going to be expected to do all of the work and that the lady feels that she is qualified simply because she possesses the specific anatomical allocations a man is looking for. The saying "The pen is mightier than the sword" did not come about for nothing. | |

Posted: 2/4/2009 5:25:09 PM | I for one don't care if a profile is short, or long. It's what they put and how they put it. I just might get to know more about someone in their three sentences, then in fifty sentences of rambling on about how great they are, or all the things they have done. Not to say that a fifty line profile can also be a good read. But it is based on substance with me, not how many lines someone can type.
It does have to do with being considerate and thoughtful, respecting everyone and treating them accordingly. Some people can't write, some can do it in their sleep. I prefer not to judge someone on this skill. I read a profile to try and get to know someone and find some common interest, not to check their paper and give them a grade. Although, there are some that feel this is more important to them, I understand. It just isn't important to me.
Oh and Mnemo... the pen being mightier than the sword.... I'm not sure... But can't remember it being anything about wether a girl can write more than 3 lines on a profile.
Now, this is only a different opinion, one that works for me. I do get it if you're more of an intellect... I'm not. | |

If I was seeing enough substance in three lines to give me a quick insight into the person and good basis for a first email, I would not be complaining. Likewise, if someone has a novel in their profile that goes nowhere, I will pass them up. Most of the long profiles I have read have had a great deal of information on the person; I do not recall having ever read a long profile that told me nothing.

You can be soft-shelled as you like but some of us have a thing called "standards" and we know what we want in a mate. Being articulate displays how mature a given person is and also indicates a certain level of thoughtfulness and patience. Checking papers and giving grades is precisely what you are doing when you choose a mate; you assess a person and determine if they are a suitable match for yourself, giving them different "grades" of compatibility and determining which grade you want to be with.

You are quite right, Jack, that cliche has nothing whatever to do with dating site profiles! It is to imply that what one writes with a pen is far more effective through psychological means than any amount of slashing with a sword is in physical terms! The purpose of including that quote was to point out just how valuable being articulate is and has been throughout the ages; reading comprehension for the lose?
Now, this is only a different opinion, one that works for me. I do get it if you're more of an intellect... I'm not.
This is called a disclaimer and generally suggests passive aggressive behavior; if you do not have the balls to state your opinion without some limp-wristed bullshit to try and keep people from getting angry at you, keep it to yourself. You seem to like stirring the pot here, why not just speak your mind and accept that not everyone is going to agree? No amount of disclaimer is going to change our opinions of your words. | |

Posted: 2/4/2009 6:07:07 PM | All profiles say something.... even as simple as saying if someone is humble... and someone else is arrogant.
You no Mnemo, I can throw all of your quoted stuff back at you, the difference is I am being respectful,
You can call me soft shelled, You can say I don't have standards..... You can call me names.....You can do all this... The fact is I am only stating my opinion, and not trying to get you to agree... I don't care if you agree, and I know you won't... I know what kind of guy you are.
That was no disclaimer by the way, only me telling you I get your understanding of it... it is just I'm different... what part of a discussion... (Forum chat) don't you get?
I didn't attack you, but I can see how you are. You say I like stirring the pot.... This isn't true... I just disagree with you. I'm not here trying to convince you or anyone to agree with me... This is my voice... to say what I think about the matter. And thats it... I don't get anything if someone agrees with me... What is there a gold rings somewhere for the winner... Why do you think this is a challenge?
So I think you should grow up and stop assuming I'm doing something I'm not. | |

The specific purpose of quoting is to indicate respect for you by showing that I have read the entirety of your post and indicating which part a particular bit of my post is directly responding to. If you did not care who agrees and disagrees with you, you would not post as insistently as you do and you probably would not start threads to share your opinion; I know your posting record, jack; you certainly do not act like someone who does not care.
That was no disclaimer by the way, only me telling you I get your understanding of it... it is just I'm different... what part of a discussion... (Forum chat) don't you get?
That is precisely what a disclaimer is. You post this long, confrontation diatribe and then end with this weak little line about how it is just your opinion; when someone responds unfavorably, you again post contradictorily at them about how they are wrong. Do not claim otherwise, you have built entire threads this way even within recent memory.
I didn't attack you, but I can see how you are. You say I like stirring the pot.... This isn't true... I just disagree with you. I'm not here trying to convince you or anyone to agree with me...

You are right, Jack, I attacked you; I do not have any particular objection to drawing first blood. When I post the kind of things like I posted above, I am quite cognizant of what I am doing and how you will react. The point is to call you out for doing something I do not like; you are by means compelled to answer to me but I do not see that as an impediment to speaking my mind.
So I think you should grow up and stop assuming I'm doing something I'm not.
I make no assumption, sir, I remark only on the posting record you yourself have perpetuated. If you do not like the reaction this generates, perhaps you ought to consider reviewing your method and giving more consideration to the tone of your posts before hitting the little button and spewing forth your views. I have a pretty good idea how the things I say will be taken before I set them out for public consumption. | |

Posted: 2/4/2009 6:36:14 PM | Hey CC
I understand what you're saying about the more you read the more you learn right? And I'm only saying, after being on these dating sites and going through the reading of the profile, and the e-mailing, and then the phone calls... It is all for not, until you meet in person anyway.
I understand, reading a lot about someone works for some... that's cool... I just have found, people in general are different in person. The more you put in your head, the bigger the expectations... the bigger the fall.
It is in real life.. in person, you really learn about that person... for me.
Too many times have I gone down that road... only to be disappointed.
Like I said... words... writing... grammar... being articulate... all of that means a lot to a lot of people... but some, me included... find the in person chemistry more important, and in the past have been fooled by all the fancy writing. | |

Translation: "What she has to say is not all that important, I just want to see if she will let me kiss her or even get in her pants on the first date."
Just my opinion of things you have said and things I have heard about you, jack, nothing you should be particularly concerned about. | |

You seem upset man..... seriously... I have no beef with you, just a different view... and If you really think I am coming off, aggressive towards you... well... What can i say.
And by the way, because I am a respectful person, and not angry... I wish you would not get it mixed up with being weak.
Voice your opinion... It's great... Mine is mine... why can't you just get it... It's different....
Not argumentative... It's a shame you think so. | |
