Where did the <snip> come from?

It came from Mod XI's request that people trim their replies... as in, cut the quotes to what is relavent, rather than quoting 3 or more previous posts in their entirety when replying.


Really?  If I quote only a portion of someone's post, I use

I've never seen <snip> before and I assumed Mod XI was referring to content, not to double quotes.

Jus saying.

Maybe that is why I stated in my post "to me"  meaning my way..my opinion ...I am definitely not forcing it down your throat ....

Why bother posting all these questions if you are not interested in hearing other people's opinions  or are only the ones that agree with yours of importance and can be learned for ?????  If so maybe you should create your own site and moderate it as you see fit

If I make it all the way to the end and I'm laughing worse than when I began it's usually a bad sign for the author.

Status: offline 		Greetings candy,

To be honest and even blunt and to the point, I really do not care what they place in their profile....it might catch my eye and start a conversation.....or what they write in their words over the net in emails, because until I have heard their voice and listened to their words over the phone or yahoo, they have no substance.  You can write what you like, for the net gives you that leeway, but you can fathom the voice, you can hear the fluctuations, and it becomes of more the walk and the talk when you meet face to face.

The person can then measure the worth of a person's honour about themselves when they meet the female or male in person.  You can see their motions, their hand movements, their body talk.  I personally have time being little between email and hearing their voice.  Will not read their numerous emails and then become disgusted by a voice that would leave scraping nails along the blackboard a distant 50th hated sound.....just chuckles. 

Be well.

Frank Ar.

Status: offline 		While I do like decent profiles which reveal something about the person, I do not put total stock in them. I tend to search intuitively, and respond to those who contact me more based on basic communication in a few emails.  I have visited with severla nice people here, and always tried to find some joy from the expereince, even if it was satisfaction in pointing out some inherent incompatibility in a humorous manner.

I am visiting with a delightful Dom, whose profile I perved once when doing a local search, and it is a shitty profile--mostly empty. I was just looking, planning on emailing a few when I had more time. He noticed I perved him, and sent me a hilarious very human message. We hit it off in a few ways, moved to normal yahoo IM and email then phone, are making freinds and have met in person twice in a couple months. We shall see what develops.

Back when I was regular online datingI tossed my picky perfect "list" of who/what  I wanted, preferring just visiting and going from there. Men tended to not read farther than a photo or first few lines, so my wordiness was moot anyway! . And many told me they were sick of all the pickyass women seeking  and thier lists, lol.

Grocery shopping for a gourmet meal requires a lot of specifics on a list. I find having an open mind and a goal of just making friends with hopes of finding a partner is a listless task. Maybe I just have good online meeting people karma?

Just some thoughts. Be well, oblige

I like what you said!!!!
Some people put more value on a profile that they can relate to as it gives them insight on the person.  Others just respond to anyone with the open mindedness of who knows where it may lead.  One liners dont really gut much attention...not enough to interest me in looking at their profile.  a couple of sentences whether regarding to my profile or the weather is good enough, as long as it is interesting enough.  Tha will atleast encourage me to look at their profile.  Unfortuantely if it only has 2 sentences....that generally throws things out the window. Simply because i see it as a two way communication and not an interrogation. I personally dont have the time, patience or desire to be pulling teeth just for conversation or to determine if i am or may be compatible with that person.
And at times if i look at a profile and they have something interesting...i'll send a "i really like your stance on the price of tea in china, what are your complete thoughts on the issue" kind of email.  This is purely for conversational and perhaps enlightenmnet purposes.  If they respond great...if not, just as great.

As long as the profile offers information that is helpful in getting to know the person...thats all i look for.
Ofcourse, everything in due time

Status: offline 		Personally, I sit in both boats... As best one can sit in two boats at once. Better analogy needed really.

I had a profile. A pet of mine decided that I didn't need it and deleted it for me. Cheerfully I obliged with punishment, and left a temporary profile in it's place.
I'm a big fan of a well written profile, which while not being TOO inflated, is enough to learn a couple of things about a person... A mostly blank profile doesn't inspire me to start a conversation with someone.

(Having said this, mine is still mostly blank, I'm still getting around to rewriting it, slowly. I almost considered contracting the task out as a challenge to a certain lass I know.)

I'll let you make of that what you will.

Status: offline 		Let me explain something about me....and it might well apply to others here......

My time is VERY valuable. I don't have the TIME to write a novel to every sub that I see here that interests me-especially when 9.5 out of 10 will never respond anyway!
Alsl, I detest 'cut and paste' form anything....
So, I ask a quick question-and see if they reply-it separates the wheat from the chaff every time!
My profile is quite complete-it tells a lot about me. Anyone can read it.
