| Why all the negative male rants on many female profiles?
Posted: 6/26/2006 1:58:30 AM | In reading the ladies profiles there seems to be a good number of them that spend an inordinate amount of effort in warning unwary males what behavior is accepted etc. I can't quote anything in particular other than a lot of negative, hostile verbage.
I have a few questions:
1.) I know there are idiots out there but do you think that this really fazes any of them in the least?
2.) No matter how you slice it, these outburts or whatever you want to call them make you look bad. I don't know about other guys but I can't close that window fast enough when I see a profile from a chick on the rampage.
3.) Do guys ever write profiles like this?
While i have been burned, stood up, walked out on, cheated on, lied to, hit, slapped, yadda yadaa I can't imagine carring that baggage and lauching it at someone that I don't even know.
I am curious as to what the rest of y'all think.

Posted: 6/26/2006 2:09:19 AM | Well my profile isn't a rant. But I can answer # 3 for you. HELL YES. OMG there are plenty of male profiles that are bashing women/poor me I was cheated on a million times are there any honest women out there? And I agree they are completely unappealing. So negative. Alot of I'm a nice guy, why don't you like me profiles....its pretty sad.
So once again it doesn't just apply to one gender. | |

Posted: 6/26/2006 2:12:56 AM | Now lets think of males in their profile, if they say something like "no women only wanting money".
A lot of women would probably think he is negative and he has a problem with women or something. But thats maybe false. I seem to be more influenced on the first assumption i made sadly. | |

Posted: 6/26/2006 3:14:42 AM | I agree with you.  all the a**holes are dating the Craz* Bits. Isn't that just perfect karma for all.
I suspect that people who profile like that are probably looking and falling for the same personality types repetatively, and can't figure out why no matter how many of them they date, things always turn out relatively the same. Duh. | |

Posted: 6/26/2006 3:24:53 AM | Just think of it as accelerated selection..if there's negativity that you don't like in a profile...SKIP. Saves you much time and energy! Not much point in spending any time getting to know someone that projects negativity right from the get-go....
The forums alone should tell you that definitely, there are men out there that do the same. | |

Posted: 6/26/2006 3:29:29 AM | Are you guys talking about me again? I'm here now!.....
My profile is like that some what....I just get bored....I kill a lot of time on the forums and reading bios when I'm at work...I just got tired of reading the same lame stuff venting about what you addressed earlier....The whole baggage thing and past experiences! I thought I would fight back and have a little fun....
And I think I own the rights to the male rant from my previous profile write up...I miss it and might have to do it again!

Posted: 6/26/2006 3:46:53 AM | Men bash women too..I have read profiles like..MUST NOT BE FAT
MUST LIKE SEX
Uhmmmm... how is that bashing? I would think that is personal preference really...
As for ranting on profiles, well I have my own little list of pet peeves and it seems to keep the people from the shallow end of the gene pool away. Whatever works for the person right? | |

==================
Not sure jft.
But I'll tell ya what.
You give me the names of a few of the absoloute worst of these profiles. I'll copy them and gender reverse them to make them a man on the rampage.
And then I'll post them in here. To see what the audience reaction is. | |

Are you kidding?
It means he's been taken to the cleaners already.
If the women really want to put something worthwhile in thier profile then they should forget their hair color and star sign. Their prifile should include something like.
" Not paticularly chasing a man with money. I have a steady job of my own thank you" | |

Posted: 6/26/2006 5:40:11 AM | This thread reminds me of my one and only attempt at door-to-door sales. the trainer drove me around looking at houses. He pointed at one particular house and asked"what do you see?". I said, "I see two no trespassing signs, and TWO no soliciting signs!"
He said, "what I see, is the house has a new roof, the driveway has been resurfaced, the house has all new storm windows and notice the sign for the security system(new).
I said sarcastically"i guess you're tellimg me you could sell those folks!"
He stopped the car, turned around, pulled in their drive...and made the sale.
My point is, the ranting may be what's ATTRACTING the losers! | |

Posted: 6/26/2006 6:56:45 AM | But both men and women seem to compose profiles that fall into one of the following categories:
The one line nothing profile. I mean COME ON people. You're trying to attract a date/wife/husband whatever and all you have nothing to put in your profile?
The 5 paragraph rant on women/men. Exuding bitterness and anger and making you wish POF came with a spellchecker.
And the well thought out/Funny good profiles. | |

Posted: 6/26/2006 7:31:06 AM | | Look at it as a good thing! People who are whining, complaining, bashing, or bitter are people to avoid, and they make it easy to recognize them. They will tend to attract exactly the types they do not want, because good people will think they have too many issues to be worth pursuing and only the players and losers will bother. Be thankful for the information and keep looking! | |

Posted: 6/26/2006 7:39:48 AM | I come across these profiles all the time. And you are right OP, I fly past them everytime I see them. If a woman has that much hatred towards men of her passed that she has to rant and rave about it, I think she might need professional help before I send her any emails.
Basically it kinda lets me know who is pesimestic or has a negative attitude, and I want to stay away from those kind of women, so please keep the rants and raves going so I know to steer clear.
Mine is so not a rant; it's just an accurate description of me; that is why, at the end, there is the disclaimer...
Your profile is so long I don't think anyone will make it to the end to see your disclaimer, I know I didnt. | |

Oh come on! Mine is as negative as can be---and with my own good reasons, but it's a very entertaining lil read!
I said what I said cause it's how I feel, and I no longer give a dinggidy dang what anyone thinks about it. | |

Hey I gave your profile a read, but only the first line because it told me to pass you by and so I did just that. I bet it is really entertaining though. | |

Posted: 6/26/2006 8:33:26 AM | I think that there is equal time re: people with negative rants but the source is the same:
FRUSTRATION.
If I had a dime for every time I heard someone give me a sob story re: how someone screwed them over I'd have more money than Bill Gates. The problem, as I see it, is that it can be very frustrating to date and have things turn badly again and again. In some cases people refuse to look inside themselves and A) see what they did to contribute to the deterioration of the relationshin or B) analyze themselves and figure out if they were attracting people with the same kind of issues over and over again. Either way the relationships crash and burn and bitterness becomes set in concrete. It is this bitterness that makes it very hard for a person to enter a relationship without being so cynical that the other person turns around and says, "Who needs to be with someone like this?"
Some people are fine with being alone but others crave companionship and this craving can be like an emotional tug of war when the person has had so many bad experiences that they want someone in their life but do not believe that anyone will act in a loving and respectful manner because of poor previous experiences. It's a dating catch 22.
Perhaps the best thing to do when a relationship ends is not date so you can heal and enter into a fresh relationship without the baggage that sabotages a person without them even realizing it. Just a suggestion. | |

Posted: 6/26/2006 8:35:49 AM | I enjoy reading profiles (women/men) that accentuate humour/intelligence/maturity but when it becomes the stage for ranting/bashing, they seem to contradict themselves ..... "click" .... NEXT
...I for one am an idiot, which is why I seek intelligent friends ...someone has to keep me in "check"...or is this a contradiction too...hmmmm  | |
