I agree with everything you wrote, although I didn't read it. Could someone sit in my lap? It improves my reading.

Men are strongly Visual, and tend to be quite impulsive.
Maybe you should consider becoming a lesbian? (Only partially kidding....trying to force an entire "species" to be completely different seems like a tough road to travel....)

So,what is it you do for a living?

And......MAGA!

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 .

Well first let me say that As a man, I would like to apologize for those of my gender who cannot read! As a liberal with many conservative, Trump loving family members, not to mention religious, let me quickly point out that any form of respecting others beliefs by either of these groups is completely alien to their thinking process. In fact, from interactions on Facebook, most of them consider Liberal baiting to be a great sport! As a man, I truly believe that the need to force your opinions on others is less common among women, but I have run into what appear to be female trolls. With online, you can never be sure who you are getting regardless of pictures and names. As long as you read their profiles and scour their posts and comments before responding, you should be able to get some sense of their political leanings as well as their philosophy and beliefs. I generally try to do that before I message someone, though sometimes a person will catch my interest by something they post and I just want to say hi or perhaps get a private clarification of something said or posted. Dating is kind of like a swamp, you have to navigate through all the alligators, snakes, and mosquitos to get to the good spots on the other side.

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

I think I will head on over and read your profile

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.

Another example of the insanity of "on-line" "dating."

What is especially annoying is so many profiles start with “Read my profile and write something wonderful, or else, GO AWAY!”

I find that really attractive. What man wouldn't? Raise your hands to disagree.

How can a conversation begin if the expectations of immediate success preclude its starting?

Too many of these women are in a hurry. They expect all the conversations that would happen in the workplace, social places,… over days, weeks, months, years, to be condensed into the first message, or else they do not respond.

I know using dating sites can help with filtering the ne’r-do-wells. Sorta like Manpower, and other employment agencies. But, most disturbing, they restrict the odd bumping into at a party, social event, museum, restaurant, where the first words are usually, “Hello.” "Do you come here often?" No profile, no history, no clarity of what is expected.

I understand the urgency, especially at my age. But, hurriedness most often results in mistakes. And missed happinesses.

A simple, "Hello," is a reasonable opening move.

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

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!

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

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

Just curious what is Sapiosexual?

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

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...

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.

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,...

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

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.
