On the contrary, I am rather enjoying myself. I will not bother with the explanation of why but, suffice to say, you are pretty good entertainment, Mr. Diamond.

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.



OK.... now you're being a A$$.... I am not the kind of guy that try's to get into girl's pants... and for you to say that about me here... is being a A$$.

I honestly respect women to not judge them on how well they can write or spell, this has nothing to do with what she has to say with not being important. It is only, me not being an arogant little A$$ that is going to correct her because she mispelled a simple word.

And you need to get your stories straight before you start spreading rumors.

It is just my opinion, jack, why are you so upset? I am just saying what I think on the matter, it is nothing you need to be so concerned over.

For the discerning angler, however, a profile that has a little meat on it is far more revealing that the skimpiest attired of photos. Besides, photos can be faked... ideas, not so much.


Well said, as always!

Ringo blue? uh.... no relation to anyone we know, right? Right?

... I have a pretty good idea how the things I say will be taken before I set them out for public consumption.


You are out of line, young man.

I understand... for you that works. seriously, I understand... and you have your method that works for you.

I'm not saying don't read the profile, but I do know I have gotten more out of some short ones than long ones... especially after meeting... You just never know... and I'm not saying anything negative about the long ones... My point was that I find for myself... not to just dismiss the short ones. You can find enough interest in them.

I read a hell of a profile, and e-mailed for weeks, than talked on the phone for a month, than met.... Then... started all over.
She was nothing like her profile. Even Hillbillies know how to type. I'm only saying, you never know.

It is a pity, Mnemo, that you choose to use your intelligence to attempt to wound or insult, however subtly. I am disappointed and must agree with Sock. It appears clear to me from perusing the last few posts that it is you, attempting to play the role of agent-provaceteur, to foment dissent and in the colloquial, "stir the pot". Why you do this, repeatedly throughout these Fora, I don't know. I can only suppose you derive some amusement from insulting others. But trust me on this, most of the people here do not agree. I think I'm disappointed most in you because you are using your obvious intelligence to wound and insult others. This to me is a sign of your intellectual immaturity. I am saddened by this.

OF, I generally do not care to "stir the pot," as it were. In recent times, I have responded acerbically to people who respond in confrontational fashion to my own posts quite a bit; I do not back down unless someone has offered me a counterargument sufficient to show I am demonstrably wrong. In the case of this thread specifically, I have become irritated with the habits of a particular poster and stabbed at him for it without provocation.

Though others may not appreciate the distinction, I make one between the different responses I have given. If you doubt my intellectual maturity, well, I make no bones about being responsible for what I have said, even if I have no remorse for it. If I choose to say some acerbic or outright nasty, I certainly will not try to get out of any consequences for it.

Yeesh, is it a full moon again?

The kind of profile I like best has a forum posting history at the bottom so I can investigate not just what the poster says about himself but how he interacts with others.

Just for the sake of producing a more friendly approach to my argument in favor of longer, more articulate posts and profiles, I will provide some examples and analysis here.



<div class='quote'>http://www.plentyoffish.com/member6619132.htm

The above is the profile of a beautiful older lady; she has got some fantastic pictures up and a good list of interests to suggest what she is into. What she does not have is a well-considered introduction; no attention was given to spelling, diction, grammar, or even punctuation. What this says to me is that, even given all the time in the world, she does not have the patience to produce a meaningful introduction. If she cannot use that little bit of time it takes just to type in complete words and sentences, what must she be like in person?

That she is fifty years old is coincidence; I saw an interesting picture and clicked to see what the profile itself was like.



<div class='quote'>http://www.plentyoffish.com/member11292539.htm

This profile is, again, a gorgeous woman who seems unable to produce a profile that articulates anything about her. What I get from this profile is that she loves things the vast majority of everyone does (eating, laughing, going out to dinner, movies, cuddling), that she likes her family, and that she likes to party. So, out of the sparse context she has offered, I can draw one characteristic of her individuality and that is that she is a party girl. She is a bit better about the grammar and syntax than the older lady but, aside from that, I gain nothing more from what she said.

These are the kind of profiles I do not like and that I have been approaching in this thread and others. I have also pointed a couple that I like, including impresaria's and Mominatrix's; among the guys, PeteredOut had a funny, descriptive profile when he was still around. The important part is an articulate description of who a person is and, to a lesser degree, what they are looking for; the latter is less important because, frequently, one finds that one is incredibly happy with something quite different from one's expectations.

Edit: due to someone calling some things to my attention, I would like to point out that I do not mean to disparage the ladies whose profiles I have linked here or imply that they are not suitable for dating. The views are expressed are what I feel is correct and perhaps my use of direct links was inappropriate but I will leave them in place and accept whatever punishment may come my way for the sake of the post making sense.

Real nice. You're the one who's got no respect for anyone else. And you sure haven't given anyone on this forum much reason to respect you.

You're too new to know jack squat about anyone here, but that doesn't stop you from being a wise guy, does it? We've already got enough of that here without your two cents worth. If you don't want to be friendly, get on a forum where everyone's just like you.

I like profiles where people are not, bias,hypocrites,boring or dull.
Who have real character, and stand up for what is right.
Don't attack someone, then blame it on them......and everyone else is ok.... so u can be part of the group!

Stopped trying to ridicule people,for every little mistake they might make on here.!!
Act like a professional!!

Rrrrright. We are waiting for your example. So far you have attacked Matchlight and Clever Coot and just about everyone else. I don't see character, or standing up for what is right. I see the new kid in town taking a swing at every man he can find!

Good luck with that.

This is one place where your popularity really is commensurate with your conduct.
If your strategy was working, you'd have a favorite or two by now.

Unfortunately for you, your unsavory posting history is right at the bottom of your profile, and so any woman who takes a look at you will know immediately what kind of a fish you are.

Ever hear the old saw about keeping your words soft and sweet in case you have to eat them? Just a thought...

Look, I understand that in general, most of the people here posting, are into the intellect... and that's great. And you will find the kind of person that you like. But intellect isn't everything, (At least not for me, and not for everyone) people are all different, some are into other things, and not so concerned about how well they write or how long their profile is, and can care less about a lot of this. It doesn't make them any less of a person than anyone else. Oh, sure, Some of you won't except their behavior, and think they are lazy or uneducated or what ever? And you will always believe the way you do. But don't think that there are also those that think differently than you. And just because they do, they don't need to be knocked... just don't date them...

This is a thread discussing what kind of profile you like. There has been a lot of those who have said, they like long intellectual profiles... I think everyone gets that. Why is it that when someone else says, they don't care so much about that, that they look for other things, and other ways of getting to know someone, they get jumped. Just because someone sees something different than you, they're not telling you, you're wrong... just that they are different. My experiences have been different than yours, don't knock mine, because I'm sharing in this conversation. I'm not knocking yours.

And believe me, Because I don't care about if a woman misspells a word, or her grammar isn't all that great, has nothing to do with me settling, It's about me not being judgmental, and about me showing respect. I believe we all make mistakes, and none of us are perfect. I try the best I can to spell, and articulate my words, and if I get judged because I'm not as good as someone else... so be it. I'm not in a contest. I actually won't date someone who is going to correct me every time I open my mouth anyway.

Now my disclaimer: I'm simply explaining how it works for me, I'm not knocking how it works for anyone else, It's all good.

I'd like to repeat what Impie just put... Ever hear the old saw about keeping your words soft and sweet in case you have to eat them? just a thought.... well, I hope you meant that for everyone.... just my thought

Hey Jack, I'm not chewing on you! I'm attempting to reach Ram One before he gets the other knee all the way down his throat!

I think you're a heck of a good artist and an all-around good guy.

I agree with you in that I would not date anyone who would correct my grammar or spelling or whatever. For me it's more of a shared frame of reference I'm looking for.

With that being said, I saw another profile today that I thought was a scream...

I think it's kind of hot when someone spots an error in my writing.

Once I asked my SO to look at a paper and he found a punctuation error that in effect, created a split infinitive.

It was better than foreplay!

Perhaps without meaning to, the message conveyed is "we take the time, therefore we are better". It's not intrinsic to this forum. I've been on many forums and this perception is common and it's an argument used over and over that if you aren't pristine in your articulation, punctuation, and grammar you're pretty much a Neandrathal.

Some can let it go without getting their undies in a bunch. Others beat you about the brow and run you out on a rail.
