glitzy55 Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 as much or more idioic then they are even in real life. Ok here's some tips men..please read a woman's profile I mean word for word line for line before emailing her. You can then sorta get a feel as to what she's looking for unless you're totally clueless. I swear I get guys who write me these emails asking oh where do u live or ones that think I live in like a different state or emails from 45 yr old men when it clearly says the age range I'm looking for. Goes to show some don't even look at the words..just at the picture. Also the ones who have to actually ask..oh so are u looking for "fun "lol so in other words pal u are just looking just for random sex. I mean is reading soo hard. I know alot of men and maybe some women just copy and paste tid bits from other peoples profiles and then come up with this glorious piece of crapola which looks appealing to some women. And that's why I love the delete button so much. Sorry but had to vent lol.
magichands Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 It might have helped a little if you used another paragraph. Granted, it's somewhat subjective. Just something to bear in mind.
curiousnycgirl Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 Actually I hear you on this one. When I was on those sites I got so many late teen age/early twenty somethings emailing me, I finally wrote in my profile that I would not answer anyone under a certain age. This was necessary despite the fact that I had expressed my desired age range. Worst part of it was that when I politely thanked them but advised that I would not be anyone's Mrs. Robinson, they didn't even understand the reference!
magichands Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 Worst part of it was that when I politely thanked them but advised that I would not be anyone's Mrs. Robinson, they didn't even understand the reference! :lmao: That is so funny. I swear that life is dumbed-down these days.
Author glitzy55 Posted February 10, 2007 Author Posted February 10, 2007 You need to get over yourself. really..how so? I'm just posting what has happened..

Topper Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 First you imply that all men are idiotic. You paid to put an ad out on the Internet for millions of men to see. I don't know anything about your ad or what you wrote or the photos you posted. Is there a disconnect between what you think you put out there and what you actually put out there? Did you post some sexy provocative Photos? Maybe some little hints in your words that you are sensual, open minded? I like to have fun? Even if you did not do any of those things I get the feeling you are a rather attractive woman. Some less attractive woman would love to get one or two emails. Your so offended because men email you. How dare those men email me! can't they see i am so much better then they are? You complain that some guys took the time to write and risk rejection. Yes even over the net rejection can hurt. Men do have feeling A lot of woman don't think we do. Maybe some are just players Others might be really great guys hoping that some woman out there sees something in that ad they posted or in their email. Those guys are going out on a limb hoping that some woman is willing to also go out on that limb with them. a regular guy has to put out 100s of e mails to get maybe 10 replies. so why complain because some guys wrote and paid some attention to you? Oh pitty you. Are you that special? My guess is your whining because the really hot guys aren't responding to your ad. So yes get over yourself. End of rant............. so what are you looking for in a guy?
Cous Cous With Goose Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 No comment. However, I'm a no BS type of guy. I will never get in a relationship with a person I met online.
Topper Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 I did post something here about a date I had with a woman I met on match. turns out she is at least 235 lbs. On reflection I was ashamed I posted something. No she is not a woman I would date but she is human with feeling and like all us looking for some love and comfort. life can be hard and we all need that special person Our shelter from the storm.
Pink Amulet Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 Wow. Topper you seem extremely jaded. I think you need to keep your comments to yourself if you are going to be so nasty. Glitzy- I will just comment on one part of your post. From my experience it seems some men on dating sites (like men in real life) look at men in the limelight (celebs, sports stars etc.) and use the women obtainable to them as a reflection of the standard they may themselves obtain. The standard of women money and fame will bring is no reflection of the way they look. In other words, just because you look better than Michael Douglas doesn't mean you can get better than Cathriene Zeta Jones /end rant. Men can be arrogant and think their other desirable traits would be enough to wave the age limitations set by you in your profile.
miss snoopy Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 First you imply that all men are idiotic. She never did. She clearly said "some" Topper, I think you need to step away from online dating for a while as you sound really... bitter? Maybe it's time to find other ways of meeting potential partners. That's what I've done. ps: and pink Amulet is bang on the money.
magichands Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 Topper, I think you need to step away from online dating for a while as you sound really... bitter? Drink some pineapple juice. I've heard that it helps.
Green Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 The men who ur talking about wouldnt read ur post on here... but I hope your rant made you feel better. I always wanted to try online dating but I dont want to pay and never had any luck with the free site. oh well looks like i'll just have to stick to the old fashioned tactics of anoying women in real life till I find one that lets me play with her
mixwell Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 as much or more idioic then they are even in real life.

And that's why I love the delete button so much. Sorry but had to vent lol. Duh men on dating sites don't care for a relationship we just want to get laid and could care less about you.. Honestly though what is it about you that you can't get a date out in public that you have to turn to an internet dating site ? You should maybe get your head outta yer azz some too cuz any girl that turns to a dating site is pretty desperate for someone herself.. My 2 cents.. Peace
CardPlay3r Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 mixwell do you make a post without being bitter and attacking someone? Guess what there are plenty of guys looking for relationships online, didn't know you were the spokesman for all mankind LOL
oh_what_am_I_doing Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 a regular guy has to put out 100s of e mails to get maybe 10 replies. so why complain because some guys wrote and paid some attention to you? Oh pitty you. Are you that special? My guess is your whining because the really hot guys aren't responding to your ad. So yes get over yourself. Please excuse what I am about to say because usually I am fairly polite, but where do you get off saying these things to glitzy?! You must be one of the men she's talking about! And no, I don't think men take the time to send an email... write it out, blah blah blah... they simply send those e-wink things (press send and voila) to as many women as possible, hoping that 10% you mentioned will reply. Well I hate to break it to you, but that's also the telemarketing philosophy. If they can call a million people, perhaps a few hundred will buy their products. That's pathetic. Women should not be treated like we're telemarketing victims. I agree with glitzy. If a girl posts something that she wants in a guy (especially age, smoker or non, etc) then the guy should take the time to READ IT and only respond if he fits the bill.

End of rant............. so what are you looking for in a guy? BIITER MUCH lol..let's see to answer your questions..my profile says exactly what I want. As far as a provactive photos..well if you consider a picture of me standing there in a regular ole shirt..yea that's soo riskay. What year do you live in..I don't care if I had a picture with me wearing whatever provactive photo bc it's clear you must be the type who is quick to judge people..that means I'm looking for fun? This has nothing to do with looks either..what the hell are u talking about. This has to do with men who choose not to read and send the same lame email to everyone. I can see you were defentially one of those guys who sent our 40393 emails and got no responses...so please u get over yourself..
Author glitzy55 Posted February 10, 2007 Author Posted February 10, 2007 Duh men on dating sites don't care for a relationship we just want to get laid and could care less about you.. Honestly though what is it about you that you can't get a date out in public that you have to turn to an internet dating site ? You should maybe get your head outta yer azz some too cuz any girl that turns to a dating site is pretty desperate for someone herself.. My 2 cents.. Peace What year is this 2007? There's still a stigma attached to meeting someone via the internet. I know tons of people that have met someone online from ims, message boards, etc. And I can easily find somone who just wants to get laid in a club, bar, walking down the street or "public" like you call it..I mean men do like sex right? And the reason I'm on this is bc I have a really busy schedule and I figured I'd try out something new. But thanks for your opinion.
Topper Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 I'm sorry I did not realize the pedestal you put yourself on was so unstable. Clearly I said something that struck a nerve with you. Of course any criticism of your rant must mean I am one of those guys. Yes your highness I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy. I honestly do get from what you have written that you have a very high opinion of yourself. I also get. Again from what you wrote, that in General you have a very low opinion of men. We are not all clueless idiots. The title to this thread and the opening clearly paints all men with a very broad brush. You then go on to paint me with the same brush. I ask you some questions and part of your response is to put me in a box. I must be one of "them" one of the unworthy. I do know that there are more then a few players out there who don't read profiles I get that. What I take issue with is that in your world if they aren't exactly what you ask for they must not have read my profile. In your world there it seems there isn't any room for a guy who doesn't meet all your wish list. There just isn't any possibility in your world that he may in fact has read your profile and saw a common interest, a hobby or sport that you both have in common? Maybe he sees that he matches 3/4 of what you are looking for and just puts it out there hoping you might also see that 3/4 of a match isn't all that bad.
oh_what_am_I_doing Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 Topper, I see what you're saying about fitting 75% of the things or perhaps having an interest in common. Having said that, though, let me say this. There are some things that are just non-negotiable. For me, it's age and smoking habits. If you're 40, forget it. If you smoke, forget it. If you have kids already, forget it. And that's just the way it is. It doesn't matter if he likes camping and so do I, or if his favorite movie is Animal House too. There are some must-haves and must-have-nots, and they are just deal breakers, plain and simple.
CardPlay3r Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 You seem to be the only one ranting Topper. She clearly states in the tile "SOME" men do this and that and you're blaming her for stereotyping men? Do you know what the word "some" means? A little clue, it doesn't mean all and it doesn't mean most. What is so wrong in wanting to meet people of a certain age range? I don't think that's being conceited, you are being highly judgemental tho Oh and please try paragraphs once in a while too *hint*
Topper Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 Read her opening line why do SOME men go on line. They are more idiotic then MEN in real life! Notice she does not say SOME MEN in real life. The implication would be much different if she had said some men in real life. Then her rant goes on, Her whole tone is that she is better then these men. Snoopy, We all have our deal breakers. Like you, one of mine is smoking. Sorry for the grammar. I am often multitasking when doing this. My writing skills do need some work. I accept your words as constructive criticism. My rant at her rant, is not that she has her standards. It is at the clear message in her rant that those that do write her that, do not fit her wish list most all jerks and idiots. Her over all tone is very anti male. Maybe as woman it is hard for you to see the anti male undertones in her writing. This is my guess here, She is a woman in her mid to late twenties. Maybe early 30s She is also very attractive. She is most likely is very use to getting her way with men. She might now be in a career that does not allow her much time to socialize as she would like. I also think she has been burned bad. If I am wrong then I am wrong. I will admit I do like to stir the pot on here and other sites. a good food fight can keep us on our toes. There really isn't anything new here. The discnect between men and woman goes back millions of years. Maybe are all just apes that know wear clothes? If I got to personal with Glitz I am sorry. But after my get over it statement she did ask what I meant. I gave my opinion on what she wrote. I did not see a personal attack in what I wrote. In the short time I have been on match I have had some success. No I don't mean in the bed room. I have met some really wonderful woman. In less then 60 days I have had 3 dates two were good. the other I wrote about. I am currently corresponding with about 7 woman. 3 of those so far sound great. Please feel free to fire away at me. Use the shootgun your more likly to hit something. I can say one thing mixwell don't do me any more favores by posting on this thread with guys like you are really screwing guys like me over.
Pretty Fly Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 I have to say, I have agreed with Topper's intrepretation so far on this thread. So if the OP doesn't mean how we intrepreted it, then it shows it's written in a way that it could be interpreted like that.
