Why do Women do this on Dating Sites?

Post Reply New Topic

o.O

well, the way profiles are written and re-written can say a lot about a person, of course is understandable after getting junk from many guys, however, I don't think a profile like that would attract the attention she wants.

I can think that many guys (some who would be the way she is looking for) would be driven off by a profile like that. As I believe positive profiles attract the desirable attention than negative ones, so what she did isn't wise, it would have been wiser for her to just leave that site and move on to something else.

I pressume that most men including the decent ones would not be drawn towards a profile like that and would prefer a positive one, except perhaps those who would be looking for "whining b*****s".

I don't care about dating sites, but I certainly would be more attracted to a profile with positive and cheerful content and driven off by rants and warnings.

As many times as I've been denigrated (hint: many times more than most people on this forum, I can guarantee that), I'm allowed to denigrate others for their blatant stupidity. If you type in "chatspeak" when people like me actually make an effort to construct a well-written sentence, then that is willful ignorance. The only excuse would be dyslexia, but dyslexia isn't that common.

This woman deserves what mockery she gets, because it's stupid to delete an ENTIRE DAMN PROFILE and fill it with terribly-worded demands of what you don't want. It will scare the decent guys away and, guess what? She'll still get messages from as*holes. They see it as a challenge. It's just like when women wear wedding rings to keep creeps from hitting on them. Sounds good in practice, but the creeps will still hit on them, and any guy who is at least halfway decent will avoid trying to ask them out or advance past the friendship stage. It's counterproductive. Hell, GHF ran for the hills when he saw her profile. That's gonna be the reaction that she gets from now on.

On top of that, she reinforced the old stereotype about women being hard to deal with. But you don't see anybody else addressing that little elephant in the room, do you?

Oh, one more thing. I AM Jesus Christ himself. So, thank you for pointing that fact out. \

EDIT: blunnet said it pretty well, and in a shorter manner.

^Yep, we are in agreement here, I just got here and have only read the first and last pages, so I wonder if after 12 pages, posters haven't figured this out.

Yes, because not sending creepy messages and dick pics is so hard. Please never leave the house unsupervised.

Hush, silly woman! Don't you realize you're talking to JESUS here???

It's not uncommon for people to send naked photos to each other, some women sent me naked photos before we dated.

Free online dating sites are meat markets, if she wants a high quality website, she should pay for it.

Silly question but how does one even send pics (nude or otherwise) through a dating site? The ones I've used don't allow it as far as I know. You can put pics up on your profile but you can't actually sent them to individual people.

Are these like ASCII pics or something?

It has been a while since I have used dating sites, maybe they have removed that feature since.

Plenty of fish allows you to embed images with your messages, I'm uncertain about OkCupid but you can use image hosting websites to upload images that aren't family safe.

Oh yeah I guess you could just send a link. Can't say anyone has ever done that to me.

Anywhere they let you send a long enough piece of text, you can encode any file in it.

Do these guys have the idea that women are going to be impressed that they have a penis? Because we're all pretty much aware that a penis is standard issue if you're a man. You don't need to prove it to us (not you personally; the guys who send pictures of them).

Want me to demostrate it on okc?

Thanks for the offer, but tempting as it may be, I ain't on there

As a woman myself, I can entirely see where she's coming from.

I've been sexually harassed on Facebook, Gaia Online, and other relatively innocuous websites multiple times. Neopets. From a young age. (Early teens, sometimes even younger.)

Just for being female.

I have been sent "dick pics", rape threats, sexually explicit messages, etc. just for having "F" as my gender on a profile- a picture was not necessarily needed. Most even knew my relative age- at very least they knew I was a minor.

It's a lot worse on dating sites. I feel that if you are not interested in something, you should be free to state such. It's hardly a bitter attitude- if anything I'd say the attitude you're displaying is somewhat bitter.

'It's not uncommon for people to be as*holes. Some people have directed assholery at me, but I liked it. If she doesn't want to get messages from as*holes, she should pay for it.'

Orrrr... maybe.... she should post something on her page that cuts down on the assholery directed at her, eh? It's free.
