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. šŸ˜Ÿ 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.

When I was on POF/OKC, Iā€™d frequently get messages from women, usually elderly, who wanted someone to worship Jesus together with them. And of course my profile made it clear that I was s liberal atheist. I concluded that a lot of people just used a shotgun approach, sending out tons of messages and hoping for a few positive responses, the Spam approach to dating. Best to just ignore them!

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. ā¤

I am just glad I am too old for all that bullshit from men. I am seventy three, widowed and now happily single, most definitely not wanting to attract men of any age. I wish you luck in your quest for someone compatible.

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.

Not what I was expecting lol not even sure what I was expecting though, I just had to know lol.

Lol! It's just a pink hat with cat ears. Feminists of all genders wear at them at protest events especially those that affect women's issues and of course, Women's Marches. Thank you. My politics are important to me. I appreciate your input.

@CaroleKay ah we have 300 people where I live and I have been on a few walks here but never seen or heard of one. Likely we are just too far out of the way. How shall I Google that for, um limited results to just that hat.

@CaroleKay so I asked my younger fem friend and got the low down. We Don't have many Trump problems here in Canada so I was out of the loop.

@Wahker Lucky you. I envy your location right now.

Donā€™t lose faith....we all arenā€™t that bad

I had to Google Sapiosexual which ironically due to the intelligence clause immediately disqualifies me and thousands of other men..?

Ps. I totally empathise with your issue..your Bio is very well structured..cogent and exudes clarity.

I feel you on this and understand completely, why would any free thinker or liberal date a Trump supporter lol, I think some men are completely ignorant and think they may change you, I hate to say this but in my experience a lot of conservative, right wing men can be misogynistic and think it's normal because I work with some! Just ignore them or block them the best you can, and hopefully you'll meet someone more compatible with your beliefs and passions ā˜ŗ

Thank you, very well stated.

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. ā¤ XOXO.

They probably think they can change you. I used to get that a lot, especially about my sexuality. I just don't use most dating sites any more because I'm sick of dudes who think I 'just need some dick.'
