This is a major rant about men not reading profiles.

I am here for dating and I have an issue about men messaging me without first reading my profile. I may not be everyone's cup of tea but I put some effort in what I write, it's not a bunch of nonsense. I am very direct and I state clearly and deliberately who I am, what I do, what I want, what I have to offer and what I am looking for. I also state that these things are very important to me. I don't know what other people do in their single profiles but simply I feel I need to do this as I am really sick of the BS that appears in my inbox. I'm getting messages from men who are clearly not reading and when they are prompted to, don't care what I want or what I am looking for.

For instance. I state I am a Liberal, and am even into activism. I am even shown in one of my pics wearing a pink pussy hat. I state that I am not interested in Republicans, Conservatives or believers, yet, I get lots of messages from Republicans who message me, (and in the last few cases their political stance is not stated in their profile). Who just don't care, in fact laugh and act surprised when I ask "how do you lean politically?" It sometimes takes several messages to get to the fact that they are registered Republican and that they voted for Trump.They arec vactually hiding it from me, lol. This has even been kept hidden until a first meeting. Why in the world would someone think I would want to date a Republican when I say clearly I do not? Why are these guys wasting my time and theirs?

There's more, Also I have guys go on and on about how I am charming and how they are attracted to me and yet I see nothing in their profile or in the conversation that indicates that we have anything in common. Does it matter to these guys? apparently nope. They think because they are into me that it must translate to that I will also be into them. Fuck the profile, who reads those things anyway? Right?! You are cute, so it doesn't matter what you want. Lol! Ladies, does this sound familiar?

But there's more, I identify as Sapiosexual, it's stated. I have guys, "lol!" at this, that it must be a joke and what is the big deal about shared interests? I'm serious, this is happening. It reminds me of the Xtians, Catholics, and believers on POF and OK Cupid. They act this way. They do not care that you state that you can't stand believers. That you have no interest in them. They are going to message you anyway. I don't know, maybe they think they still have a chance to fuck you, or that you will send them pictures, or phone sex. I think, they think that if they can get your # and at the very least they can send a dick pic. Is shared interests even a thing with men anymore? Are they just browsing pretty pictures of women they want to troll, or do they just want online sex?

I have even had men ask me "what do you do for a living?", or If they happened to read the first sentence, "I'd like to see more of your work". I'm like really? It's all there! It's in my profile. 😟 I really feel like I am getting disrespected and am dumbfounded by the lack of intelligence and effort from some of the single men here.

As rants go yours is pretty good, all the more impressive because there aren't many swear words in it. It's also a shame that the blokes this is about aren't the ones who are replying, we all get it lol

I've only had one guy, and I'm not into guys, who was interested in oral sex. Now I will grant you that I don't specifically say I'm not interested in oral but it does say 'here for community', I can only think community to him means a blow job? And besides my idea of oral does not involve the male todger of another bloke.

Still I think the ladies get a lot more ignorance than us guys so maybe a blocking frenzy is in order, I also haven't looked up sapiosexual but I will at some point, but the chances of us going on a date etc are somewhere around zero so it doesn't matter what it means lol

Thank you for your understanding, kindness, and words of wisdom. ❀

Don’t lose faith....we all aren’t that bad

You are NOT alone in this.
Men tend to connect only with their eyes.
And HOW DARE YOU not be grateful for any form of attention.
After all, you aren't getting younger! You should just go ahead and settle now...

arrgggghh.

Why I have no photo in my profile.

I adore you. ❀ XOXO.

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.

2

YES! Exactly! β™₯

Good article.

2

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!

Some are Looking at Profiles Hun

Excellent, you are appreciated.

2

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...

Everyone should do that, it's doesn't take much time, but saves you much in the long run. Thank you.

2

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

Thank you for your words of wisdom and for understanding.

2

Yes, I can relate! I think people are becoming lazier - if that's even possible. The good news I glean from your post is that Republicans & Conservatives who voted for Trump, must be embarrassed about it if they are hiding it, and you have to extract that detail from them HAHAHA!

Yeah, they must realize that they come off as douchebags thanks. ❀

2

Some men just want to get your number and then send you dick pics. It's almost like a way of life. I don't get it, but I have sent those pics myself before. I do it only if asked to. Imagine it in reverse where every woman is sending you uncalled for vagina pics. What would that be about? Maybe the "dick pic men" can think on this a little to see how crude and silly they look.

Thank you.

2

I’m sorry that you’ve been harassed. It seems some people have a reading deficiency or are purposely deceitful.

Thank you, I think there is some of both.

2

Hi , Well Written ! I’m new here so helpful info so far has been better then Okcupid and POF the 1st two I️ tried for a few years 0 luck let alone a conversation that didn’t consist of trying to get me to meet at their Homes ( specifically stated it’s gotta be a public place )
Some of them literally have the attention span of a gnat , if you’re interested in someone at least try to learn a bit about them , discuss a Movie the other likes etc not only Shallow Superficial ..stuff super off putting .

Thank you, I so agree!

I once read an artical about why conservatives voted trump is because women won't date rightwing nut jobs.
It was basically a whiney conservative bitching becuase women won't have sex with racists and sexists.
This post made me think of this article.

Probably more of those 'incel' nutjobs. They're mad at/hate women because women don't like their Cheetos stained shirts and lack of social skills. I mean honestly, BO and Cheetos breath is not attractive. There's a new cologne scent for men: Cheetos. "Your pick-up lines will never be cheesier"

2

The men who are sending you these messages are thinking with their dicks, not their heads; they see an attractive woman and just think it's enough to message her for sex. Or they're looking for their instant dream girl and read your profile and think, "oh, she's the one who's going to save me from my lonely awful self." It's very discouraging, but at least it helps to weed out the creeps and weirdos.

2

Stories like this help me understand what women often have to go through. I wish I could apologize for the cretins of my gender.

2

You are, in every respect, absolutely right. every site has this kind of shit. sorry you had to experience it here as well.

note: not asking for interest and haven't read your profile, only this comment, but it was spot on.

Thank you for understanding and for your reply.

2

I have looked at your profile and think that you are incredibly talented, well above average intelligence, and quite attractive. You are probably a bit more liberal than I, but I WAS a Bernie delegate at the Democratic Caucus in 2016. And I wouldn't dream of messaging you.

Of course, being HFA, socially awkward, and haven't been on a date in 46 years and haven't the slightest clue how the hell it is done nowadays might have a bit to do with my shyness.

And for the record, "quite attractive" is ~= "gorgeous"

I just didn't want to muddy the water with superlatives

Just like that. ❀ That's how you get dates.

2

Hi Carole, I get some of the same from some women, but there are a lot of seriously twisted men out there. I read your profile closely. Pretty unambiguous. You have a lovely picture that these guys want to hit on thinking they are your long lost love. Massive ego problems on a mass scale. Sounds like an attack of the fraternity brother zombies. Hope a sane one comes along!

xoxo! πŸ˜€

2

They're probably too dumb to know what the word means. To tell the truth, I had to look it up. Anyhow these guys are looking for a trophy.

I know exactly what you are saying. I have had all of the things you mention happen to me when I was on a dating site. Men seem to be very visual so if you look good and are on a dating site then that is all that matters to them in many instances. Oh well. Not much I can do to change the situation except that I am honest if someone contacts me and I can see that the differences are way too great, I just say thanks but no thanks.

2

Tasty rant.

2

Men!

They must be related to women...

skado Level 9 Aug 4, 2018

Lol! I hope that makes sense to you. πŸ˜€

@CaroleKay
Just saying I get the same thing from women. I think it's just a human thing. A large percentage of humans just go for what they think they want, without regard for how it might make anybody else feel.

2

Strong women are captivating. Maybe they have nothing in common with you, yet ….
Disclaimer: I skimmed through this post too. But I still think you are neat.

Lol! Definitely and you too. I sometimes don't read long posts either, but it's cool. We're not dating. πŸ˜€

She is seriously one of the coolest women on here. So much so I couldn't not follow her.

@Qualia I love you! ❀ Likewise!

@CaroleKay I love you too Carole. ❀ You deserve all the good (((( hugs )))
