Now I had to read your bio..... check

? This is rife.
(((( hugs )))

Sounds like just about every problem a person can have with online dating. I think much of the problem (besides reading comprehension skills, which are quite low, your experience a case in point) is that between the number of people who are currently married (at least 25% or so of all online profiles, and by married I mean 'looking for an affair' and not separated and trying to move on), too afraid to actually meet someone, or too into thinking it's only going to be some sort of hookup.

Wow! Well I'm not here for dating and in fact held off joining this site for a while thinking it was only a dating site so I specifically don't check out profiles (unless hit by mistake by my big thumbs, now where am - and how do I get back to where I was again). However I must check out your profile because I've never seen a pink pussy hat, especially someone wearing one lol. Io don't understand the my genders need to send dick picks, or even spend a moment to get to know about someone first. So I will wish you luck and hopefully guys will understand your very legitimate opinion.

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.

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.

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.

Well said.

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,...

Just curious what is Sapiosexual?

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?

I sympathize with this situation. I hope it improves for you. ?

I think I will head on over and read your profile

So,what is it you do for a living?

And......MAGA!

That must have felt good! ?

You go girl!

I learned to stop arguing with moron men who won't read profiles and hit the "block" button the instant a man who messages me asks me about something that is clearly stated on my profile.

I also go to their profiles and read their answers to the profile questions, and if they indicate any belief in god, I also block them.

But I have so many other stipulations, including a dating prospect being my age, that I can usually eliminate them just from their ages.

I had to read your profile after that! (very clever,lol)

I look at this trend as a shortcut. It weeds out most of the men you wouldn't want to meet anyway !

For the few that escape your immediate scrutiny, try to always make first meets just a walk, or something totally non-committal and short. You can always extend the time , if he proves to be ok !

Sorry

I would like to state like every other man, I'm not like other guys. Now that it is out of the way, I think too many people view it as fishing, you can take time to cast one line or you can cast as many as possible and it only takes one to respond for them to believe they can win the individual over with charm and if not break out the old dick pic. It is just laziness and not really being interested in what the individual wants but to fulfill their own gratifications.

Well, you motivated me to look up "Sapiosexual." Ha Ha! I'm always a little behind the curve with pop culture references.
