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. ๐Ÿ˜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.

Your Profile is and should indicate whom you are, what you stand for and what youโ€™re interest are... Iโ€™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 donโ€™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.

Excellent, you are appreciated.

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.

Thanks so much for your response.

Sorry it took so long to see it.

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

That's sad. Thank you for your insight though.

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!

YES! Exactly! โ™ฅ

Good article.

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.

it's gotten a lot better because I have been on the site quite a while now and have a lot of the right-wingers blocked. Also, since that seemed to fix that issue, I removed the word and definition of Sapiosexual from my profile. I found that those who didn't know what it was figured it was some kind of kink, lol. I have done a lot of editing to my profile since this post as I take the site and the dating aspect less seriously than I did when I got here. This post is from Aug. 4th, 2018 and is the gift that keeps on giving. I like that someone added the tag #TrumpHumpers. ๐Ÿ˜€ Thanks for understanding.

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

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.

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.

Yeah, I'm noticing that here, and I have completely edited my profile, ha I think it's even more clear now. Also, this is a really old post, but thank you! You are correct. Right on! ๐Ÿ˜€
