Why is it men want to fool around with you so fast without knowing you? One guy I met yesterday.

I put myself into a sphere where most people are just there to hook-up and people assume I'm there to hook-up. I just don't get it.

I'm not seeking to mock her, just point out the lack of logic, especially when it's not like this is the first time it's happened.

You go to a hook-up site, people assume you're there to hook-up.

Likewise, if you go to a website focused on finding long-term relationships offline, people assume you will want to meet in person.

When you join a dating website it's good to get an idea of what exactly the userbase tends to use the website for instead of just complaining that your goals aren't aligned with those held by most of the userbase.

Am I so out of touch? No, it's all the other users who are wrong.

Isn't there some sort of option/drop down menu to choose for the purposes of stating what you are looking for in regards to dating, on dating websites?

There used to be on OkCupid, when I signed up briefly, many moons ago.

Some users do not pay attention to that nor care what others state their wanting in their profiles.

It sounds like the user base don't agree with your assessment of the site, given the problem you're describing. If a large portion of the users use it as a hook-up site, it's a hook-up site in practice even if it doesn't explicitly brand itself as one.
