irc333 Posted March 31, 2012 Posted March 31, 2012 Okay, another OLD topic (been seeing a lot here lately) I saw this dating profile of a woman that stated how she even took a break from online dating, because she got tired of men who emailed her, but didn't really bother to read or perhaps even ignored what she was "looking for" in her profile. She stated, "In the past 2 days on here, I had put that I like TALL men, but for some reason I'm getting emails from guys who are 5'8"! " And she goes on to say, "So what's the deal, is 5'8" the NEW tall??" and then proceeds to laugh out loud. No where in her profile she states "I'm looking for a guy 6 feet or taller" So I decided to point that out to her, told her, "Well, you're only 5'4", so your defintion of TALL might be different than another mans definition" Apparently,s he gets uppity and says, "Well, it's common knowledge and a guy should KNOW better that ANY man that's 5'9 and under is considered BELOW the average height in the U.S." So apparently, men should KNOW better, and not have to be TOLD what "Tall" is, even though she's a short-stuff herself. I figured any guy taller than a woman would be considered. "TALL" to her. But at any rate, that's just an example, and women seem to be apparently faulting men contacting them for not "reading" their profile, when inf act they did. But, perhaps one person's idea of a certain criteria is different from the other person. Like a guy would think "well, I'm of those qualities, so I'll email her" turns out, she doesn't agree...gets frustrated, and faults him for it. On the other hand, I do hear women get upset when they state their age criteria, but they still get emailed by men old enough to be their dad...THAT'S understandable, but in other cases, they just think guys didn't use good judgement in emailing them, evnen though these men THOUGHT they MET their criteria upon emailing them.
