Some women purposely say seeking intimate encounter. Page 1 of 1    
I will explain. I think there is a high percentage of women that post intimate encounter as either a goof or some sort of educational survey or study. I could be paranoid, but I think the ladies that are goofing want men to message them so they can screw up these men from contacting women they exclude men searching for intimate encounter. Personally I am looking for a relationship, but I digress. Many times the intimate encounter profiles are photoless or outdated photos . Also, some of the IE profiles are so over the top to make them that much more unbelievable. I know some women can be cunning or perhaps even men. Just offering my opinion. Agree or disagree, I would like to hear yours.

If you think all these IE profiles are fake, then why keep looking at them, especially when you state many don't have photos. If despite these observations of yours, you still message them, well then, shame on you. If your statements are accurate, why not just steer clear completely ?

I think you're thinking too hard.
I also think the amount of people that post "intimate encounters" thinking it means nice little chit chats over an intimate game of chess are pretty slim too.

Fact is, you have to search out intimate encounter profiles.
Why you're doing that when you're looking for long term relationships is beyond me.
Bottom line, I don't think there are people out to get you or other men.
In closing I'd like to remind you that no one can force you to email someone and if you opt to email someone - ie: someone looking for intimate encounters doesn't mean that they must accept your offer either.

To Answer poster number 2. I never said all that is first and foremost. Also, You do not know if someone is seeking an IE unless you read that part of the profile. I never ever message such women and have no interest. If you think I am lying and you probably do , because most women are skeptical, that is fine. I am just voicing my opinion , one that you can very well disagree.

Very much like msg 2 poster said.

Your headline is "Looking for that SPECIAL LADY",
your intent is saying "looking for a relationship.",
your mail setting has "Must not be looking for Intimate Encounter"

Then why is this matter bothering you?

Or are you one of those "double standard guys"???

Actually . as I mentioned I do not seek IE profiles. Honestly you do not know what a woman is seeking until you read the profile based on a single pic or simple heading . Yes , I know you can search for IE profiles . I do not, nor have I ever emailed one. Just want to make that clear.

BS.

You have in your own Mail Settings that someone must not be looking for IE's. Because of that, those who are will not be shown to you in Your Matches or your search results.

For YOU to see these profiles, you are actively having to seek them out. And for you to be able to comment on the lack of photos and the profile content, that means that you have actively sought them out.

Why are you seeking them out if you are so convinced they are fake and set up for entrapment ?

I disagree. 99.9 percent of the members of this site have no clue how the intimate encounters filter block even works.

But look at it this way. You're so clever you spotted their "trap" before replying and escaped their evil clutches. Good job my man!

Quit searching for Intimate Encounters. Whats the point? men contacting them are not doing it "accidentally". They have to deliberately search out those profiles and make contact with 4 or more. I dont care if the profiles are fake or real. The point is they are showing a pattern of seeking out sex on this site. No one tricked them into seeking out IE profiles. They are exhibiting their life style choice. THATS the key here not if the profile was real or fake.

Op,i think your post is BS.

How have you come to this conclusion(that all the women looking for Intimate Encounters)are fake if you're not looking them up and taking the time to note the content of these profiles?????
And,why should it bother you what they say if you're not interested in these profiles?


*Edit* I think you are protesting a bit too much,Op....hehehe.....

lmao ... I do not search for IE and do not want a woman to contact me for IE. That is part of my profile. Ladies , I am sure you looked at profiles and have seen men looking for IE , it does not mean that is what you want. I would guess you would just go onto another profile and hope the criteria meets yours. I have done the advanced search using things like looking for a long term relationship or marriage or whatever not looking for IE. You can filter IE in advanced search , that is my point . Most of the time I search in my general area and look for pics with a nice heading to proceed. Most women, thank goodness are not looking for IE , at least they say so. Every now and then , inadvertently a profile comes up from a woman looking for IE. I move to the next.

I never said ALL women looking for IE are fake. Some I believe are but certainly not all. Please if you are going to judge my words , at least get them correct. As a general rule I do not speak in absolutes. Thank you.

For all intents and purposes IE profiles are fake, you have zero chance. The women who are looking for IE, will not have it listed on their profile. They might have "Hang Out" or "Friends", and "not seeking any relationship or commitment".

The point is it simply doesnt matter if they are real or fake. Heck I dont care if POF sprinkled in a few with Porn Star pics. No one made anyone go search for IE's or send them messages. You have to deliberately search them out and show a pattern of seeking out those types of profiles AND MESSAGING THEM.

No one makes anyone do this. Its not done by "accident". They are seeking Intimate Encounters. And it does not matter to me at all if every one of those profiles is fake. Changes NOTHING regarding what the guys was seeking. He is on here looking for sexual encounters. Does not matter if he succeeded here or not. He is showing his lifestyle choices. He will do it here or in real life or wherever he can get some. This is not about if he was successful. Its about if he was SEEKING IE profiles out. Its about his morals and how he lives his life. Anything that will help the women on this site screen those guys out I am all for.

OP said at msg 6;

But as everybody notice, it's not accurate. On standard search result, individual intention is appear as "Intimate Encounter".

As OP said at other post, if he is really input search criteria excluding IE but just leaving dating etc, then there's contradiction...

OP, please be careful, there's always a chance that your potential prospect ladies/girls who is non-IE seekers can lead your posts.

You said in Msg # 1 -

Many times the intimate encounter profiles are photoless or outdated photos....Also, some of the IE profiles are so over the top to make them that much more unbelievable.


These are statements. Within the same message, you qualified other sentences you wrote with "I think" but you didn't do that for these sentences. Therefore, the quoted text refers to a situation which you don't think is accurate but have determined that you know to be accurate. For that determination to be made, you would have needed to look. If you hadn't looked, you would have continued your pattern of qualifying the statement by including that they were your thoughts vs your actual observations.

In Msg # 10, you expand your prior claims not to be seeking IE's with these claims.


I do not search for IE and do not want a woman to contact me for IE.....Every now and then , inadvertently a profile comes up from a woman looking for IE.


And that's the point we are calling BS and I'll explain why.

Those who are seeking IE's are EXCLUDED from general searches and match recommendations. That means that a profile for an IE will never "inadvertently" come up.

So, in order for you to be seeing them, you are having to specifically search for users who have selected IE as their intent. And search for them, you have, to be able to make the statements you did, as quoted above, in your initial post.

If you had not searched for them, you would not be in a position to make the statements regarding their old or lack of photo and their profile content.

To IMPORTFROMUK, with all due respect; I can view your profile not knowing what type of man you are looking just by clicking on the View Profile right from this forum. I am guessing you are a fine lady , not looking for an IE. I do not know for sure unless I view your profile. Yes , I do at times use the Advanced search engines to filter . That said , initially most profiles can and are read without knowing what said person is looking. It is unfair to say that IE profiles come up only if you search for IE. I know nowadays many people want to be presumptuous toward others, usually in a negative way. I am above that and hope most of you folks are as well. You all have a wonderful Sunday.

I am not being presumptuous about you - or making judgments about you. I am explaining the facts based on the information you have provided.

You had said :-

Most of the time I search in my general area and look for pics with a nice heading to proceed. Most women, thank goodness are not looking for IE , at least they say so. Every now and then , inadvertently a profile comes up from a woman looking for IE. I move to the next.


The comment about searching in your general area and a IE profile inadvertently coming up, suggest that you were seeing these profiles as a result of the searches you were performing on the dating side of the site - not the forum side of the site. The fact is, if this were the case, the IE's are excluded from these searches - and therefore the situation you outlined is simply not possible. This has been confirmed by a Mod further up this thread. So, we have established that this is not how you are seeing said profiles despite you explaining this was how it was occurring.

If you are now stating that you are seeing these IE profile from the forums, then I would reply that although they do come here, it's rare. I use these forums a lot and like you, sometimes click on the profile beside the comments which have been posted. Even so, I can honestly state I've likely seen less then 5 IE profiles from this route. Certainly not enough to make the statements which you have made.

I do wonder, if you are accessing the IE profiles from the forums as you are now implying (but not stating), why you felt the need in your previous comments to mention general searching in your area and inadvertently seeing these profiles that you have no interest in.

Are you stating that this is how you are seeing the IE profiles - via their forum postings ? And if so, may I ask how many you have seen ? Are these the only IE profiles you have seen or are you basing your conclusions on a larger number of users then those you have accessed through this section on POF ?

I would be much easier to answer your questions and get the opinions you seek if you would consistently state the facts rather then change them.

I made the mistake of messaging some women with IE on their profile which now resticts my search for genuine women. Shorty I plan to cancel my profile and make a new one to get round this problem and will take great care not to acciedently contact IE again.



Emailing ONE person is not going to trigger this filter.
You need to have had established a pattern of contacting intimate encounter profiles. This won't kick in until you have initiated at least 4 intimate encounter profiles.

OP, what you are NOT getting is this-if you have the filter on YOUR profile that a woman must NOT be looking for IE, then they DO NOT show up in any of your searches unless you select that type in the advanced search or remove the filter from your email restrictions.

I dont think anyone is purposely tricking anyone.

Wrong. It has nothing to do with his filters. IE's do not ever show up on regular searches unless you search deliberately for them. Thats whats so stupid about all these threads about "accidentally" contacting IE women.

You have to consciously search for them to even show up. You will never see them unless you search for IE's. And if they do show up it does not matter if they were real or fake NO ONE MADE YOU CONTACT THEM.

I have met a few ladies who have or were seeking IE's. Then again I have seen many with or without photos seeking IE's but have as their contact guidelines "must not have messaged others seeking sex or IE's" This will not allow you to contact them . I was able to make contact with one such lady with such a posting and pointed it out to her. Shewas desperate to find an IE and thought that would help...She then edited her profile and Im sue she fared out well as she has since move on to be with the man of her choosing....Check out other states and see how many IE's are wanted compared to youres...you might be suprised! Good Fishing :)

I have mentioned that when I do a general search you do not know someone is looking for an IE unless you read the profile. I do not email such ladies. Of course, most women are not looking for IEs. If there is a filter that stops IE females from even coming through the search engine. I truly would appreciate that. As you can see on my file , I do not accept emails from women that are looking for IE or have emailed IE before. Please give me a break ladies. Not all guys are into the IE thing. I know I am not.

And if you had actually read this thread you would know they do not show in a general search. To see a IE profile you have to deliberately search for just IE's. It is never an accident.
