Some of us are just tired of getting the same email over and over from different guys. You hope you can help them by telling them 'no thanks' in your profile. I assume that some do read the profile and wander off to post to someone else. I still get posts from men who want phone sex, want me to watch them masturbate, or other services though I pretty clearly explain that is not what I'm about. I try to do it nicely but really... being nice doesn't seem to work. In reality it grosses me out that there are so many walking talking dickheads out there. It seems rare to actually meet a guy who offers conversation before his penis.

To me, your profile should be a good image of who you are. In my profile I try to be as blunt and honest as possible, and tried to paint an image of who I am. I revise it when something changes. I'm honest about whether or not I'm emotionally where I feel I should be to seek a relationship, which currently, I believe I posted I'm not (as is the truth) but always open to talk to people. I even posted some of my favorites, the mundane stuff like authors and foods, in order to show what my interests are. I don't think the only thing people should look at is what I like in bed (because frankly, if I'm not going to get to know you, you don't need to know, ya?).

I agree with the OP that some of the profiles are just over the top. I found one funny - its main focus was how unreal it was how attractive the couple who owned the profile are. How it's s uch a rare combo blah blah blah ego ego ego. I couldn't stop myself from responding and telling them what I thought fo their profile. How did they respond? By calling me fat (and I assure you, at least one of the profile owners ain't no lightweight). The sheer immaturity and.. outright stupid of people just sort of throws me off sometimes.

You will find vague profiles, angry profiles, pretentious profiles (hate those with a passion myself), bullshit profiles ("I AM EVERYTHING U R LOOKING 4!"), n00bs, preds, jokers, fakers, liars, cheap thrill seekers, honest people, good people and bad people. Just ignore the ones you don't like (or do what I do, stay up reaaaally late and c-mail the ones that amuse you however it strikes your fancy as you're loopy from sleep dep), and move along to the people you feel like you may be able to connect with.

alone with my designs
Left on my own to meditate
the shadows of my mind.

If I see a profile that comes across as agressive it kinda stirs my interest. I like to know exactly what a person wants, to see how it matches with my own interests. The only thing that bothers me is when someone selects a certain gender or persuasion they dont want any messages from. It seems to me the more peoples perspectives you can get from messaging one another is just part of the path of growth. So I dont always understand where a friendship would hurt.
