Nicomis Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 After browsing some online dating sites like POF, or Match, I have noticed, and I am sure the rest of you have too, certain code phrases and words women use when they can't really say what they want. Starting with the first and most obvious, "financially secure". We all know this means I am a great big gold digging whore. Another favorite of mine is "I prefer someone who is free to travel as I am" In other words I want someone who is rich enough to take me places, and has no kids to divert attention from my selfish ass. You get the point. Anybody else pick up any good ones from waitresses and daycare workers who are mysterious world travelers? List them here. :-) 1
Author Nicomis Posted July 7, 2012 Author Posted July 7, 2012 I don't frequent those places but I do remember a few. Looking for a generous man. She wants us to blow our money on her. I love to travel. On our dime, maybe she will be generous and hope we have frequent flyer miles. Tee Hee. I want a caring Man Someone that will take care of her children from a previous mistake of a relationship. Maybe even write a rent check. I am a curvy woman or a few extra pounds. She's fat. I am an independent women. Because no one else will pay for her excursions. I am ready to settle down I have had my fun with everyone, but you. Now it's time to get serious, we are no longer going to have fun. I have a kid(s) and would never give them up for anything. You will always be second best. Maybe you can even take them to the doctor some day over a sniveling nose. Do you have an insurance plan? How far off the mark am I? Sid you are right on it brotha! lol 1
bac Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 Starting with the first and most obvious, "financially secure". We all know this means I am a great big gold digging whore. As a girl, I would translate it into looking for a potential husband material. There is nothing wrong with a man who is financially secure and capable to support his family financially. Every reasonable woman is looking for a husband who is financially secure. 2
Anela Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 (edited) I want a caring Man Someone that will take care of her children from a previous mistake of a relationship. Maybe even write a rent check. any decent man, wouldn't just see the children asa result of a mistake of a previous relationship. "I want a caring man" can mean just that. It means she doesn't want a sadistic b@stard. I am a curvy woman or a few extra pounds. She's fat.Funnily enough, this can actually mean that she's curvy, or only has a few extra pounds. I am an independent women. Because no one else will pay for her excursions.meaning she can take care of herself, and doesn't need to rely on someone. Can you see the positive in anything other than a large pair of boobies that reside above a teeny-tiny waist? I am ready to settle down I have had my fun with everyone, but you. Now it's time to get serious, we are no longer going to have fun.So it's only okay for a man to have his fun, and then choose someone to relegate to sex with one man for many years to come (himself)? And who says you won't have fun? I have a kid(s) and would never give them up for anything. You will always be second best. Maybe you can even take them to the doctor some day over a sniveling nose. Do you have an insurance plan? The woman actually loves her children. She won't kill them in an effort to get you back, a la "Small Sacrifices". She won't ditch them on her ex, so that you might spend time with her. How far off the mark am I?I'd say that you and the OP are way off the mark. Edited July 7, 2012 by Anela 1
ThingsAreComplicated Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 simply put: you can't you need to get to know people in person to look behind their facade 1
123321 Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 Funnily enough, this can actually mean that she's curvy, or only has a few extra pounds. Sarah Michaels was curvy, women who say this in OLD are either pudgy or plain old fat. The woman actually loves her children. She won't kill them in an effort to get you back, a la "Small Sacrifices". She won't ditch them on her ex, so that you might spend time with her. If having them was such a marvelous move why isn't Dad with her? 2

There is nothing wrong with a man who is financially secure and capable to support his family financially. Every reasonable woman is looking for a husband who is financially secure. No there is nothing wrong with a financially secure man, but there is something wrong with greedy women trying to get their mitts on his money. In the we haven't even met, looking at your online profile stage, how much money a man makes is none of her damn business as long as he can afford to date. But these gold digging skanks, are going to go ahead and qualify or disqualify based on a man's current financial situation. If women are "Equal" shouldn't she be able to support the family too? How is the waitress paying for all her world travels? Sounds a lot like prostitution. JS 3
oaks Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 (edited) Funnily enough, this can actually mean that she's curvy, or only has a few extra pounds. Curvy can mean curvy, yes. I've never seen "a few extra pounds" as anything other than a euphemism for "many extra pounds", also known as overweight, or fat. Someone who really only has a few extra pounds (as in a handful or so) ticks "Average". You only have to look at where "A few extra pounds" comes in the list of body types to see that it doesn't mean what it says! Edited July 7, 2012 by oaks fixed typo 2
Author Nicomis Posted July 7, 2012 Author Posted July 7, 2012 Can't leave out "looking for a goal oriented professional man" also = gold digging whore I just got that one from a nanny who loves wine tastings and world travel. lol Guess nanny's are getting paid the big bucks these days. 2
yongyong Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 'I've dated jerks and I want to find a good guy' They are old now. They want to find a Beta guy who won't know about their slutty background and will be a good provider. They don't know what they are saying. They will ignore messages from good guys and go out with the same jerks. They will keep complaining and do the same thing over and over again. 3
phineas Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 If you are just looking for sex, move along = I have sex with guys on the first date & then they blow me off. Jerks. Chapter one of War & peace in the profile = if you think i'm long winded, boring & LOVE talking about how much smarter,funnier, and awsomer than everyone else i am now, wait till I get you in front of me! But i gotta say, most of the profiles I see online I truly believe are from women that don't actually want to date & just joined to shut their friends up because their profile is full of ***** tests & e-standards for men that don't need to rely on OLD to find a woman. Or more accurately if a rich hot guy who travels the world is on OLD it's just to ensure he has a piece of ass when he travels abroad. 1
truth_seeker Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 Here's a line I noticed a lot: "I don't take things too seriously". Meaning? She's a flake?
maybealone Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 women who say this in OLD are either pudgy or plain old fat. Well, that's only fair since "athletic" for men means "I could win an Olympic gold medal in beer drinking and I have the gut to prove it." I just wish all OLD sites had a check box where you had to declare whether or not you are a member of LS. It would make the process of narrowing things down a whole lot easier.
ThaWholigan Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 (edited) “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.” Self explanatory. Edited July 7, 2012 by ThaWholigan
oaks Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 Well, that's only fair since "athletic" for men means "I could win an Olympic gold medal in beer drinking and I have the gut to prove it." Hehe! I may have ticked "athletic", but I meant it! Sometimes I swap it out for "skinny" or "thin" or whatever the smaller option is. I think I'd only get a Bronze for beer drinking... my gut isn't big enough for too many pints!

I think I'd only get a Bronze for beer drinking... my gut isn't big enough for too many pints! I tic athletic also. I'm not slender (stretch shirt sleeves) and i'm not average. (not fat enough) although I seriously doubt fat guys can get away with Athletic build because people that are athletic show off their whole body in pics. Granted they may use pics from lots of yrs back. LOL! Although from reading many female profiles I'm thinking they need a d-bag sub category for the ripped dudes who are flexing shirtless in their profile.
carhill Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 For better or worse, nearly all the women I met through internet and phone dating over the years resembled their profiles, at least initially. That's what the personal 'getting to know' process is about. I'd say the most difficult time I had with one parameter was that of understanding what the eschewing of 'greedy' men meant. It turned out the more relevant translation was 'cheap' men and the ladies who offered the term up were in fact themselves quite generous, both in the material and affection departments. I did note, compared to what was experienced IRL, most anecdotes apparently sought to minimize the extent of their drinking and/or smoking habits in their profiles. Weight/body type descriptions were pretty accurate, IME. I can't say I was ever surprised one way or another there. I guess either things have changed or I didn't date enough to develop stereotypes from terms. My sampling was generally from the late 80's to when I met my exW in 99 and briefly during our D a couple years ago. 1
Feelsgoodman Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 Here's a good general guide to translating female OLD profiles I found on the Internet: “While looks aren’t everything, physical attraction is important” – you must have a smokin hot body to message me “Health and fitness are very important to me and they must be to you too” – you must have a smokin hot body to message me “I like to wear heels” – you must be over 6’1” to message me “I’m sort of a geeky bookworm “ – I’ve only read 50 Shades of Grey, Twilight, and the Hunger Games and I put them on par with Shakespeare and Dostoevsky “I love sushi” – I think because I can eat with chopsticks that I am sophisticated and cosmopolitan “I have a sarcastic sense of humor” - I never say anything sarcastic, I take everything literally, and I wouldn’t recognize sarcasm, irony, or satire if it hit me in the face “I’m a bit of a reality tv junkie” – I want to look like Kim Kardashian and I expect you to look like Colin Farrell “I am sick of games, drama, and BS” –I am only attracted to a**holes “When it comes to music I literally listen to EVERYTHING. My ipod is so schizophrenic/random” – my ipod only consists of Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, and Madonna “I’m looking for a nice, decent guy who treats me right “ – if you’re a nice decent guy don’t message me “I am NOT here for hook ups or one night stands” – unless you have a smokin hot body “What’s most important to me is a guy who can make me laugh” – that and the fact that you look like matthew mcconaghey or any of the douchebags in magic mike “Please put the effort in to read my profile and not just look at my pics” – 2 sentence profile with pics showing cleaveage and perfect figure in a bikini “I will not respond to messages like ‘hey whats up’ or ‘you look good honey’” – unless you have a smokin hot body “I love to travel” – the only place I’ve traveled outside of <insert your city here> is Cancun for spring break where i got drunk and banged 5 different guys in 10 days “For fun I like going out for drinks with the girls” – I drink too many kamikaze shots and make out with scumbags at the bar “Must not do drugs” – Unless you give me a bump of coke in a South Beach bar bathroom “I like a guy who is smart” – but not an IQ above 95 so I don’t feel intimidated “Must not have mental issues” – unless you have narcissistic personality disorder “I consider myself spiritual but not religious” – I still pray to Jesus so I won’t go to hell but I like the freedom to get drunk and fornicate “So if you want to know anything else, just message me. Look forward to hearing from you!” – Message me so I can make a snapshot judgment of you based on a tiny thumbnail pic, and then delete your message without reading it or looking at your profile 3
YellowShark Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 I totally skip over the profiles that mention $$$. While I totally agree that women do not want to date a jobless, broke guy who lives in his parents basement.. that's a given. But to be upfront about money on the profile is irrelevant. It's a red flag for me. It makes me think they are probably very materialistic. I prefer to meet the person first, and get to know them, before we start digging into their financial spreadsheets. Call me crazy. 2
phineas Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 It would also be nice for a woman to have pictures on her profile that include only her & not other people. It's so bad that sometimes I don't even know which woman is on the site because EVERY picture as the same two women in it or she only has 1 picture & someone else is in it. 2

bac Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 Looking for a generous man. I love to travel. I want a caring Man man or a few extra pounds. I am an independent women. I am ready to settle down. I have a kid(s) and would never give them up for anything. I guess you would like a girl who would state in her profile: I am a slim/anorexic woman with no kids. I am looking for a financially insecure and greedy male who just wants to have some short-term fun. In general, I prefer men who neglect women because it perfectly matches my dependent personality. Also, I dislike travelling, spending money on anything, kids(in general), and being in serious long-term relationships. I like quality time at my place, being a cheap date, ONSs and FWBs situations. 3

JS Women are equal to men socially as citizens. Genders are not equal biologically because males have biological advantiges to be more financially secure. Men have testosterone produced in their balls and the hormone makes them stronger biologically than women are. Women are biologically weaker because they have periods every month(the blood loss/anemia), get pregnant and have their maternal instincts to spend all their life and energy to take care for their kids. You are going to be equal to women if you can have periods, get pregnant and spend all your life taking care for others/kids. 1

Actually, as a man in this country, at this time, we are financially disadvantaged if you would care to check out who has lost the majority of jobs during this recession. They are not calling it a "mancession" for no reason. The idea that men have biological advantages to make them more financially secure is just retarded. Maybe in a zombie apocalypse, or 100 years ago, but UNFORTUNATELY, we live in a time where physical ability gets you very little in the way of financial gain, unless you are a pro athlete. I spend my life taking care of others (my child, all by myself),no thanks to any woman. Your post has absolutely no merit.
