irc333 Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 Saw this profile of this woman online.....I would have to say VERY attractive and well done photos, but she remarks with, "in my first 24 hrs I had 28 pages of emails to go through" PAGES. I wonder why she would even need a dating site, looking at her. She even gives a "pep talk" at the end of "Don't worry, if I don't respond, there's someone out there for everyone", and also "lectures" her audience on the kind of email she should be sent and what would impress her.
january2011 Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 Good for her! Are you going to send her an email too?
Disenchantedly Yours Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 She is either very insecure and feels the need to bloister herself or she is arrogant and feels the need to bloister herserlf. Either way, it translate to bad news.
caseinpoint Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 Maybe bragging and probably unnecessary to say she got 30 pages of messages. But also maybe she is sick of getting really crappy emails from men who aren't really interested but send out "circulars" or non-grammatical lazy greetings like "How r u?" (I know how she feels big time). Part of me admires her chutzpah in saying what she wants so nobody't time gets wasted, especially hers!!! If the rest of the profile is fine, could be that she simply values herself. Though actually nobody reads the profile. I'm speaking from experience. Whatever she writes there, she would still get people emailing her the opposite.

Yeah, I bet some people who USED to read profiles, don't even more or at least skim them over, because they all sound the same. lol But I at least make an effort to find something in their profile and discuss that facet of it. As far as her valuing herself, I think some people value themselves a little too much.
january2011 Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 When I was OLD, I didn't skim. I read profiles because a partner who writes well is important to me. I also liked to see some effort and real humour in profiles. A very brief profile with poor English, even with great pictures, is an automatic 'next' for me.
caseinpoint Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 Yes, CaseinPoint, that has been my experience too, so perhaps its a futile request anyway. Are you male or female? I'm female. Actually, now I'm thinking perhaps we should just have blank profiles and let people randomly choose. Perhaps the hits may actually turn out better that way.
phineas Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 Well, it's better than the women that go on a rant about all the types of guys who should not contact her. Why don't they just ignore those guys? do they not know how negative it makes their profile look?
Cee Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 I'm female. Actually, now I'm thinking perhaps we should just have blank profiles and let people randomly choose. Perhaps the hits may actually turn out better that way. I totally agree! I dated a guy with a blank profile on OKC. The picture was okay and we had a high match percentage. So I took a shot and emailed him. It was one my more positive online dating experiences. We dated for over a month, which was a near record for me in terms of online dating longevity.

She even gives a "pep talk" at the end of "Don't worry, if I don't respond, there's someone out there for everyone", and also "lectures" her audience on the kind of email she should be sent and what would impress her. Why would she need a dating site? Maybe in the real world she can't find a guy with the combo of good looks with "he will commit, be a gentleman, and be faithful". Walking into a bar and getting 50 guys all wanting said woman is meaningless if she wants a RL and the guys only want to bang her. As for "why" she stated the pages thing, I think part of it is that she doesn't know how to make a profile. I don't care how hot the woman or man is, they can still post things on profiles that they shouldn't. We're all human. Only benefit would be that she wants to put out there that she gets tons of emails and either to be patient if she doesn't respond quickly, or to be imaginative and creative in what you write, since you have a lot of competition. That or she wants ugly guys or bland guys to not bother.
FitChick Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 She probably felt guilty that it would take so long to reply to everybody. I like to reply to everyone, if only to reject them, because it's good manners. I like websites where they have an option to block people who do not meet certain criteria. Saves wear and tear on everybody. Of course, some men will work around it, i.e. if I say a man who is separated cannot contact me, he will just change his profile to divorced/single. So now I say it is 'important' rather than 'nonnegotiable' so they are more open than they might normally be.
Feelin Frisky Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 I'd post on the subject but I'm knee deep in e-mails. Oh the price of popularity.
