Author Sabali Posted May 14, 2011 Author Posted May 14, 2011 Yep, "love to live life to the fullest" generally means "love to go to expensive places on your dime." Or have them lined up... I’m looking for someone who gets me
AmericanHoney Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 I am sort of new to the online dating game. My friend recently told me to create a profile on OKC. I am majorly confused between single and available does that mean they are married and in a open relationship or does it mean they are a player and want to date as many people as possible.
Author Sabali Posted May 14, 2011 Author Posted May 14, 2011 My friend recently told me to create a profile on OKC.. Ooops! That's another online dating overused statement but not necessarily a negative one. "I hate trying to describe myself."
Sith Apprentice Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 Women always have time for games. Saw this one the other day and her profile said, "I'm not looking for a douche bag." How much you wanna bet she only dates douche bags, but has tons messaging her? I think I'll put in my profile "I'm not looking for a skank!" I bet that'll go over like a lead balloon.
Sith Apprentice Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 Watch out if her profile says any of these: No games= I can play the field, but you better not. Adventurous= Sleeps with everybody I'm looking for a nice guy=No, I'm not No more Jerks=Only Jerks need apply Emotionally Secure=Does a lot of pills Outgoing= Loud and Embarrassing
phineas Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 The one's that really annoy me are the women who want a "spontaneous man" then go on to say they don't have kids but don't mind a man who does. I have kids Spontaneous might happen on one of the days I don't have. Maybe. But, probably not. LOL! Or, when they need to explain they want an attractive man. errr. thanks for clarifying that. I'm sure it keeps the ugly guys away. LOL! And "friends first" women. ummm no. Oh & i've seen angry rants about guys who "just want sex". and laugh. especially since these are chicks 40+ & not really more than above average. I think they should be taking these guys up on the offer for sex because their going to stop coming very shortly.
Sith Apprentice Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 If she wants "friends first" then she can go hit up a gay bar. Don't forget the women who want an "educated thug."

irc333 Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 Yep, "love to live life to the fullest" generally means "love to go to expensive places on your dime" or "I have a cluster personality disorder and self-medicate through varieties of risk taking to try and escape the pain." Or..."I like fine dining".
irc333 Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 Ooops! That's another online dating overused statement but not necessarily a negative one. "I hate trying to describe myself." I thought about making some repulsive ad by saying, "I like to pick my nose, eat my own boogers, and smell my own farts."
irc333 Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 Or the, "Dance like no one's watching..." quote Or quoting Marilyn Monroe's quote of, ""I'm selfish, impatient, and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control, and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best."
Author Sabali Posted May 14, 2011 Author Posted May 14, 2011 I thought about making some repulsive ad by saying, "I like to pick my nose, eat my own boogers, and smell my own farts." No, no. You know what you should do? Take a picture of yourself with that "pouty-lip" look or hold your camera at an angle above you and snap it and use it in your profile.
Eddie Edirol Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 Addition to The Guy's Translation Guide to Dating Sites: "Im done with the drama and games" means I only hate the games and drama when I dont win them, otherwise, I like to shake things up to keep things interesting for me.
orangelady Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 How about this : I am looking for a beautiful, intelligent and kind woman.

I make mistakes, I am out of control, and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best." Omg one of my friends on fb wrote that quote by Monroe on her 'about me' section and it creeped me out. Later I learned that what that really meant for her was "deal with my sh$t or buzz off" and you really never experience them at their best much.
irc333 Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 (edited) There is this pretty hot late 40's Latina woman on POF that has been on the site forever it seems. Nice athletic body, so I suppose she's entitled to her "equal" in looks too But it seems she has an entire paragraph devoted on how good looking physically her man must be. Ok I'm going to start off by saying Thank you for looking and maybe reading my profile..lol..I don't want to offend anyone by all means but if I delete your profile without reading its b/c I have no interests and or any attraction however, just because we have something in common, absolutely does not mean we are a match!!!!....I'm NOT looking to waste my time or yours..if you are not in my criteria then please click next....I'm sorry if I sound SHALLOW,as I was told, but it is what it is and its my profile and but I'm not perfect and neither are you but I know what I want and looking for that fits in my life and if you dont like what I say then your personal comments mean nothing to me.... True, I guess if you both do the same thing, same hobbies, but if are too ugly to do those things with her, you're out of the running. Also, she was TOLD she was shallow. (So obviously other people thinks she's shallow, too) And she REPEATS herself in the "First Date" section with yet another' I don't mean to sound shallow...but..." phrase and rants on again, rationalizing for her shallow behavior and how a man must be able to sweep her off her feet and give her those "butterflies" It's like they're upset that all these UGLY men had been emailing her...shame on them. I even had seen a woman that said, "If you think you're unattractive, then chances are, I will too" What a messed up statement to make, eh? LOL Edited May 14, 2011 by irc333
oaks Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 "No drama, no baggage, no games" I don't have a problem with people looking for no baggage. They're probably thinking about only wanting to date people who are completely single (perhaps including divorced but perhaps not 'divorced yesterday') who don't have children and are completely over any previous relationships. (Not that I consider children to be baggage, before someone bites, but some do!) The other stuff... drama, games, and other things I see like "creeps, snakes and stalkers need not apply" is just silly. Of course nobody is looking for those things and nobody thinks that those things apply to them so it's all a bit pointless. I mean, who reads that and thinks "Oh, well, I'm a bit of a creep so I'd better skip to the next profile"? It just comes across as negative and bitter, and why would I want to date someone like that?
oaks Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 I even had seen a woman that said, "If you think you're unattractive, then chances are, I will too" What a messed up statement to make, eh? LOL That's brilliant. I actually like that. I only want to date someone who thinks she is attractive (or at least "above average" if there's a box for that) because I associate it with confidence, and I associate people who think they are not attractive with unhappiness. I might even borrow this.

I might even borrow this. You being sarcastic or for real? LOL Though, people who think they're attractive (physically) might be confident, but it's cancelled out if the other party thinks otherwise. So statement really just cancels itself out. True, a man may think he's attractive, but she still find him butt ugly. I was actually about denote that if a guy who thinks he's attractive is self-confident, but.....what if the guy is unattractive to her (in her opinion)? So here you have a guy who THINKS he's attractive contacting her, however, she might go EW, fugly...and delete his email. Then she'll get ticked off that confident yet unattractive men are contacting her. To demand someone ATTRACTIVE to email you, is quite silly, because it's all a matter of opinion.
phineas Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 How about this : I am looking for a beautiful, intelligent and kind woman. Just as bad as the chicks saying their looking for someone their attracted to. It basically says - I don't care what's in your profile, i'm just looking for the full body shots.

LOL Though, people who think they're attractive (physically) might be confident, but it's cancelled out if the other party thinks otherwise. So statement really just cancels itself out. I'm serious! Yes of course if the other party doesn't like the photos then it's going nowhere, but I'd rather have someone with a positive outlook (eg thinking she's attractive) than someone with a negative outlook (eg thinking she isn't attractive) sitting opposite me at dinner, assuming that in both cases I want to look at her.

Perhaps that person isn't suited to you, but what's wrong with having a preference for seeing a full body shot and filtering on physical attractiveness?

Maybe you're in the serious minority, and that's great. I know what you're "getting" at here, it's more about being positive vs negative, but the woman I was speaking about in the profile....is not meaning this (because I read other parts of her profile that indicates she's shallow, like she's wanting to date a guy 6 feet or taller, and other things. But chances are, the woman who stated this in her profile, who is sitting across the table from an ugly guy, might make an early exit out the back kitchen door. lol I'd advise against borrowing that statement from her, because I was demonstrating it was a foolish statement to make on her part.

Perhaps that person isn't suited to you, but what's wrong with having a preference for seeing a full body shot and filtering on physical attractiveness? Nothing. Hell, i'm working on a 6-pack for end of summer because I know that's what chicks dig. but, you can just filter them through your innbox instead of putting it in your profile. If you don't word it correctly (and many don't) it makes you sound superficial & your only going to attract over confident good looking jerks that use dating sites for easy sex. I got friends who are the "lady killer" types. They specifically look for these women because their tall, good looking & built. They know these women are easy marks. because they can't control themselves around a man their really attracted to. Their DTF first date. when you put that stuff in a profile it's a beacon for players.
