ORIGINAL: stef "If she didn't want that kind of attention she shouldn't have dressed that way." Yeah, gotcha. "If you want more replies to your messages, you need to have a better profile". Oh no, I'm blaming the poor guy for not getting messages. See, underneath the one true wayism, the chest beating and the general fuckwittery, the OP has the ghost of a point. People have full control over what they put in their profiles. People need to fucking own that. If someone calls themselves Slut4Use, then that's the image they're choosing to put across. Especially if the profile operates along similar lines. If someone is claiming that they are, indeed, a slut to be used, without qualifiers, then people are entitled to respond to that presentation. (Or to choose not to respond, for those of us who prefer not to talk to one-dimensional dullards). People sending mail to women that reflects the profile of the recipient is a different issue then scattergun sexually explicit messages to every female profile they stumble across. We see criticism of male profiles on here all the time and the image they put across. I don't believe that HOTLUVSLUT69 is some kind of delicate flower who can't be held accountable in exactly the same way. Obviously, there is a big difference between dumb female profiles and dumb male profiles. Dumb male profiles insist on messaging women. In my experience, dumb female profiles generally stay the fuck out of my way. That is significant- it's a lot easier for men to avoid the idiots on here then it is women, which may explain some of the differences in how people respond to the issue on the forums. But, at the end of the day, an idiot is an idiot whatever their gender. (Bonus Note: The OP can't criticise other people for having bad profile names however. Because his is godawful).
