If a man actually did read your profile and feel attraction for you, he'd have to be 1. educated enough to both read and understand what you're saying 2. know enough about the movie business and art to appreciate your accomplishments 3. feel secure enough in his own worth not to want to put you down to make you even with him.

People usually are attracted to those they feel are similar to them, who they deserve, or who have the same social status and or talents. Since most men aren't your equal, if they did read your profile they'd be intimidated...if they had enough intelligence to even vaguely comprehend it.

Vent noted. Lol. Keep in mind their support of the current administration tells you a lot about their level of intelligence. Chances are they don't read your profile (If they can read.) As for the religious, many of them are brainwashed into believing that they're doing you a favor by leading you to their god. Hang in there @CaroleKay somewhere there's a love just for you.

Eh, it's the same offline too. Republicans should see by my bumper stickers that we have nothing in common.

The biggest problem with being a Sapiosexual is that the people that don't know what it means and won't look it up are still hitting on you. As far as the rest of your rant, you are probably much more than entitled to the indignation. I am never quiet about my political stands except at family functions (got a ton of righties) and tonight someone I thought had been paying attention asked me what I thought about Trump. So men are not the only ones that don't pay attention. Again my heartfelt condolences.

Some of us do indeed put a lot of thought into what we present to the world, and it is discourteous for someone to ignore it - especially if they are interested in us as a potential date or partner. My 'profile' is a work in progress; I'll type something, then ignore it awhile, then return to see if I like it, or if it needs changing. It is there to be READ, please and thank you!

This man has nothing to defend the other men in this world. My 63 years have not met many good ones.

After reading this post, and reading your profile, I just had to say something. I think what I've gotten from it, is a better understanding of how I need to structure my bio. When it comes right down it I just don't think that I'm a typical guy. I'm sapiosexual, or at least I look for relationships where their common interests and shared intelect. I'm straightish or heteroflexible, I'm a switch and don't play well with dominant guys, or dominant women for that matter but I also don't feel that I'm submissive. I tend to side with feminists, a left-leaning centrist. I'm married leaning towards relationship anarchist kitchen table polyamory. I'm an a anti-theist agnostic student of shamanism.

There quite a few other tags I could probably add in there but that in itself rules me out in the books of most women on dating sites. Of all of them I think OKC's probably the best because of the in-depth profile maker and questions that are offered up to be answered. I don't really know what I'm trying to say here other than that I am empathize with your position.

Some are Looking at Profiles Hun

Well said.

Your Profile is and should indicate whom you are, what you stand for and what you’re interest are... I’m a member on match.com and after viewing the picture I immediately go to the profile...I sometimes go to the profile first....in some cases after reviewing the profile if they are interested in religion I don’t review the picture, I simply move on...

Why is it important to you that they read your profile first? To save time? if You’re looking for something serious this makes sense. I’m sure you get tired of repeating he same answers again and again. Most guys don’t know how to engage with women so asking standard interview questions is the go to format. At least you have options - that’s something not really worth complaining about IMO.

My profile clearly states don't bother contacting me if you voted for Trump. It also says that I am neither spiritual or religious. I had coffee with a guy the other day and realized during that coffee that he listened to Rush Limbaugh. I immediately told him we did not have anything in common and had a very different value system - thank you for the coffee- goodbye. He called me the next day wanting to know what I meant. In other words some are just too stupid to understand your profile

Same goes for women as well. I've tried online dating. I specifically said "don't use the meetup button" andsend me a message other than saying hi. Guess what?

If you can't bother to read a few paragraphs about me,...

I love this post because you said what every woman was thinking. I suppose being on this site is enough "shared interest" for some people.

I sent you a message stating I'd read your profile and thought we had some things in common; and encouraged you to read my bio if you had any interest. I thought it was a nice, polite message, but I never heard a peep from you, not even so much as a "Sorry, not interested." Just saying...

There is one problem: Thousands of horny guys looking to get laid. It does not matter to them if you are going to pray or blasphemize during sex. They want to cum. Often we paste pre-written paragraph and do not read profiles because we get so few responses. I find that I have to sent 200 responses to get 20 conversations and get laid once. If I am lucky. I do value brains, but I did have terrific sex with totally dull partner. Brains are for the steady partners. And I cannot help it, we have the best president since Kennedy and being Helllary liberal is on opposite side of being cerebral. Liberalism is a brain disease. ArizonaJerry

Just curious what is Sapiosexual?

I didn't have a chance 5read your profile, but can we get together? ?

I will be honest. I had not seen or heard the term sapiosexual before. I think I am one. I'm not hitting on you, nice rant, I didn't come here to date, however, I found someone I enjoy being with. I like that term. Thanks for introducing it, and as an old English teacher i am pretty well read. Best wishes.

Wow, I hope you feel better. I hope you have better luck finding a decent guy - we are out there.

And those republican dudes that are afraid to say they are republican because they are having a VERY hard time finding anyone willing to date their sorry butts!

Well written! I just joined and have yet to actually write a bio because usually it just isn't worth the time I would put in it. Eventually I will get to it but I am not in any hurry - especially since it doesn't look like they are read anyway.
Glad to know I am not the only liberal, activist with no time for tRump, Republicans, conservatives or religion.

Faulting people for trying to find some way to open up a conversation with you is kind of rough. Do what you like, but you may want to cut someone a break if they are possibly compatible and trying to find a way to connect. I get it - women have to deal with a ton of stupid in the dating process. Still, being tough on someone for doing their best to contact you when they have read your profile and are just trying to find a conversation starter doesn't bode well. If it is that stressful, take a break.

It's actually a complicated thing. Guys are always the ones making first contact and get inundated with profiles to read. It's like any algorithm - some men go for a brute force approach. They contact a ton of women knowing that many either won't respond because they met someone, aren't serious about being someone, or won't work out when they meet. If that is their approach, then they aren't going to read profiles that well. It's a numbers game with that approach.

It could also be that they just don't have good reading comprehension. That's a very real possibility.

You might find more success if you initiate contact. It's rare and, as a man, I've really appreciated when it has happened. Contact people that fit what you are looking for - flip the script and see if that helps.

All the best!

Perhaps we should get together, and fuck and think about it?
