| It's not your profile, it's....
Posted: 2/9/2006 1:27:07 PM | Everday, I see people endlessly complaining and begging for help reviewing their profiles. "I changed this a million times and you (men/women/rodents) still won't answer my emails!" "OH! People in my town are all such SNOBS!" "What's wrong with (men/women/rodents) anyway?" "Why are people so RUDE?" "But I'm so *NICE*! Why can't I get a DATE?"
Well, babe, it's not your profile, it's YOU. And nine times out of ten, it's because you're a tool. Maybe you can't *help* being a tool, maybe you can, but you surely can't hide it.
Here's my advice: Don't come around asking for advice or searching for reasons or ways to blame others for your unpopularity. Just stand up, go to the mirror, look yourself straight in the eye, and ask yourself, "Dear God! Am *I* a tool?!?"
And don't lie; you probably are or you wouldn't be claiming to be a NICE (guy/gal/etc) who just can't get those MEAN people to appreciate you, answer you, date you, whatever. Face the facts and work on being LESS of a tool, and maybe you'll get somewhere with the opposite sex some day.
Good luck to all you tools.  I wish you the best, I honestly do. | |

"I only called him 17 times after 2 dates, gave my friends his phone numbers so they could call and find out if he's mad at me too. He wouldn't answer so I went over to his house and dropped a note through the door." "He won't talk to me - it broke my heart..I thought we would be together forever..he was the one....I thought he loved me - even though he didn't tell me I just knew" "He's so horrible,,,why does this always happen to me" 
GET A FRICKING LIFE YOU BUNNY BOILER, GET SOME BALLS AND THROW A PITY PARTY FOR YOURSELF! THEN CALL THE WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABULANCE SO OTHER WOMEN CAN LIE AND TELL YOU IT'S NOT YOU IT'S HIM! BUT IT IS YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | |

Posted: 2/9/2006 1:36:54 PM | | amen sister! I'm tired of seeing fat guys with expressions on their face like they are constapated, wearing t-shirts, hats to one side, pissy profiles, asking why they can't get sum play. | |

Posted: 2/9/2006 2:06:03 PM | If she calls me 'hammer' in bed, does that make me a tool? Just curious. Though personally I wish I was a power tool.
There should be a 'tool' website, where underskilled daters can go and mingle. Hell everone's a tool sometimes. | |

It's still a BARN, a nice paint job doesn't make it a mansion! We can help someone write a profile or write one FOR them, even. But it still has to be them that wins the guy/girl. If they have undesirable qualities and a bad attitude, the world's best profile won't help. You can reword it ten ways from Sunday but if someone thinks the world owes them happiness and a wonderful hottie and they won't lift a finger to find it or improve themselves, they ain't gonna get there. They can see it, because it's dark in their rectum. May as well keep the profiles the way they are, ain't gonna catch no fish with stinkin bait!! | |

Posted: 2/9/2006 5:08:55 PM | | Yes it's sad isn't it ? If we're having a pity party can I come ?? I'll be the guy standing at the bar trying to talk to everybody wondering why noone is socializing ? | |

Posted: 2/9/2006 5:15:00 PM | Um, if you confuse abuse with pity, that might explain why no one's socializing with you.
P.S. As I'm sure most of you have guessed, I used the term "tool" because I didn't think I'd get away with doucheb*g, d*ckhead, w*nker, dumba$$, a**hole or dipsh*t. Think of the term "tool" as kind of literary device, if you will. | |

Posted: 2/9/2006 8:22:38 PM | aaaaaaaahhhhhh....sh*t, I held off on this thread as long as I could, all day in fact. I was actually proud of myself for not getting involved in this but..........
You can have a profile ghostwritten for you that would make Wuthering Heights sound like a grade eight entry in an essay contest in comparison, you can have experiences and interests listed that make others claw out their own throat in envy, and you can promise to fly your love/lust interest off on your private jet for a stellar 1st date....but.....
Nothing will change the fact that your main pic of you flexing before a mirror or a close up shot of your lean pecs and abs does still qualify you as a tool. You join the elite drawer of the toolbox if that's the only pic on your profile. Put some thought into the image you are trying to portray and objectively look at what image you are actually portraying. | |

Posted: 2/9/2006 11:59:42 PM | I am the kind of tool that only does two specific things well, and everything else I am useless at. Seeing as this is becoming the
“… if I were a tool, what kind of a cool tool would I be…” thread
For example: … If I were a tool, I would be the ratchet that tightens 3, 3/32-inch wing nuts, while heating them into space rivets for safe sub-orbital travel.
Not good at everything but what I am good at…
and by the way yes, my profile is ... | |

Posted: 2/10/2006 7:03:58 AM | | Luckily I discovered I was a tool before I came to POF, now what would be very useful is a solution.. perhaps sterilisation :rolleyes: Oh no, now I've accidentally started my own pity party | |

Posted: 2/10/2006 7:47:34 AM | This is one of the best threads that's been started here in a while!! Way to go!!
And while its true that some people are just tools, there are sometimes other obvious reasons why some just can't get anywhere on here. Like that they're horrible looking or incredibly overweight. Or they're simply fishing out of their league. | |

Posted: 2/10/2006 9:26:42 AM | That's true, Joe, but "It's not your profile, it's because you're ugly" is another thread for another day.  | |

Oooh, that's dangerous. Once I mentioned in the forums that some people are just fugly and can't see the truth...and I got bashed bigtime for being shallow and judgemental, and lectured on how somebody woud find them attractive no matter how fugly they are.
OT - before the net, in the days of small town living, people automatically got paired off for the purposes of breeding with whoever was available in their general age range. One's parents/society pressured them to marry regardless of sexual attraction, personality, etc. etc.; feeling it was best to "settle them down" ASAP. Therefore, these types kept breeding and producing more undesirable people (fugly, boring, stupid, etc.). Today, they are getting shoved to the bottom of the pool, where perhaps they belong.
Since everyone has such high standards (from watching too much TV, IMHO), they feel entitled to love with extremely attractive people, without ever looking in the mirror and realizing that were it the other way around, they would never date someone like themselves. They become extremely bitter because of what "everyone else" has instead of looking at what they are offering, which is usually jack shit.
Bottom line - no matter how fugly, boring, and stupid you are, you will rarely want to "settle" for someone equally fugly, boring, and stupid. Your mama told you how special you were, and by gosh, you're gonna cling to that, regardless of all the reality check opportunities that come your way.
"Accept me for who I am or kiss my patoot!" is the battle cry for online dating. Basically that is stating you feel you are perfect and are unwilling to strive to be worthy of love. So do not whine about the lack of acceptance. Do not indulge in self inspection. Do not ponder cause and effect. Chant the Stewart Smalley mantra "I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and doggone it, people like me". No matter how many people tell you otherwise! What do they know? Be a fortress unto yourself and your misguided self-esteem! Everyone is "missing out" on the wonderful opportunity to sit around in filth watching TV with you and getting fat - that's what real americans are supposed to do - aren't they stupid to pass you up? | |

Posted: 2/10/2006 10:25:04 AM | ^^^^^^So true!!! But we're so gonna get busted for this!! LOL!!!!
I can't tell you the number of times i've come across one of these whiney threads and wanted to tell them the truth. Instead, all the bleeding hearts come out and blow sunshine up their @sses by telling them that they aren't fat (when they clearly are), not ugly (although if the person emailed them, they certainly wouldn't get a response in the positive), or how the right person is out there and "just hang in there hun!"
I guess I'm just not nice. But at least i refrain from doing this! Thats a good thing isn't it? | |

Posted: 2/10/2006 10:31:23 AM | If you are going to start an "it's not your profile-you're ugly!" thread, it will lead to other such threads..."it's not your profile-it's your lack of hygiene!"
"....it's the fact that you have 13 cats"
"...you're boring!"
etc etc etc...... | |

Posted: 2/10/2006 10:35:48 AM | No I wouldn't say pepole are "tools".. and that is a rather harsh judgement.
I find the majority of people who eventually stumble upon POF are in a very negative mind set based on past experiences. It is easier to blame others and outside influences rather than blame oneself for all the wrong in ones life. I figure what takes most people a lifetime to figure out, only the few actually figure it out sooner.
Regardless of the reasons why internet dating doesn't work out for most people.. if you don't like the negativity.. move on to another thread. Don't let this get to you.. it is after all the internet.. take it with a grain of salt.
Grow from the positive and learn from the negative. | |
