Last but not least is the extremely simple. The ones that can't even keep up their end of a conversation. Zero communication. They can't type more than 4 words. No personality. No inspiration. No motivation. No imagination. Boring. If you can't talk to me what do we have? That's right- nothing. And I'm not talking lack of common interests. I'm talking conversation that rivals pre school d!ck and jane books. See d!ck, see jane, see spot. See spot run. Run spot run! I am fine. How are you? I'm at home. I'm not doin much. Idk. Its crazy. I write 5 paragraphs and get back "oh that's nice." nothing more. Zzzzzzzzzz!!!!

Brooke, if you know it and maybe some other women know it, why do they persist in writing this stuff in their ads. Do they want a guy in their life or not?


I don't write any of that 'stuff' in my ad .. for that matter I don't have an 'ad' .. unless I'm selling something I'm not aware of eh?

How women scare men. Oh yes ladies, you scare us before you get to know us.

Here is a small list of the things you do that scare us.

1. Tell us you're looking to get married.
2. Tell us you like to go to expensive places.
3. Tell us you have kids at home but you're really not looking for their next daddy...NOT.
4. Tell us that you're looking for an honest faithful man. (note: this tells us you have trust issues)
5. Tell us that we need to be "financially secure" before you know us. This tells us one of two things. Either you are a gold digger or you are insecure about your own finances.
6. Tell us that you want us to be "friends first". What does this mean? It tells us some things maybe we don't want to know.
7. Tell us a lot about your pets and what they mean to you. Who is more important here - us or the pets? We are confused.
8. Tell us you are too inept to upload your photo in your profile.
9. Tell us you have only one "good" photo of you that you like, and that's the one in your profile.
10. Tell us that all the things that you want in a man that tells us you have a huge attitude about men and whatever we do will never be good enough.

Ladies, I hope you will take all of this in the humor in which it's offered.

Gentlemen, this is a very incomplete list. What things scare you about women when you read their profiles?



O.K. - could you tell me what me DO want to hear, please?

If I had a dollar, no -- wait, make that a quarter, for every email or IM that I've received that started and ended with 'hey', well - it'd be freedom 38 and I'd be drinkin' margaritas on a beach somewhere. I try to give everyone a chance, I really do - I answer every email I get, but honestly sometimes the lack of effort put forth (especially in an introductory message) boggles my mind. If someone offered me a root canal during one of these 'exchanges' I'd be grateful for the escape! *not sure whether to laugh or cry*

PS: LHB, you KNOW firsthand brevity is not my shortcoming :tongue:

Nothing scares me about a women from her profile....however, there are things that they might say that would make me lose interest....of course, that works in reverse too....

i think most women are wonderful people & mentally more together than most of us men....when people present themselves on a profile they are trying to show a little of who they are & what they would like to have in a relationship....

most profiles have common statements & ideas....why? because most of us want the same things....the hardest part & why we are still here, is finding someone who is 'compatible'

so if a woman states she is looking for marriage....she is just stating what type of relationship she eventually wants....
if a man is in it for the sex, he won't post it in his profile....but the woman can usually figure that out pretty quickly....and then the compatibility falls apart....ohwell

Communicators should meet other communicators. The non-communicators can grunt at each other.

Biker, I hear ya man. I've had the same experience with women. Write them a nice letter and either they don't do anything or you get a "oh that's nice" or some other drivel.

Women are supposed to be great talkers. Why do so many them have such difficulty communicating?

I took her home and never saw her again. ohwell

Dear LouLou,

What do we want to hear? We'd like to read something different and unique about you.

For us it's safe to assume that you like the same things most women do on a date - going out to dine, movies, walks on the beach, yada, yada, yada. Telling us that really isn't necessary. If you want to hangliding or skydiving with a guy then that would be useful information.

What we would like to get is some insight into your personality. What are you really like in person? What parts of you would make a man swoon and want to meet you?

Knowing your turnons is very helpful. Then we have some idea where to start a conversation with you. Your turnoffs and dealbreakers are essential information too. If we're one of those we can go onto the next profile.

Knowing the qualities in a man that "must haves" for you will tell us a lot. If we don't have those then we can read the next profile. If there are "nice to have" qualities then make sure you're clear about that in what you write.

Photos that aren't you are a major turnoff. You have a photo of a waterfall as your lead photo. What's that all about? It's OK to be artistic if that's how you lean but we'd rather see a photo of you (the person) artistically posed.

Does that answer your question?

I really enjoy the mail messages I get that say the person just wants to say hi and that they think I have a nice smile. If I reply with hello and thank you, they usually follow up with, "If there is anything you want to know please ask".

WTH???

About what? The profile is usually blank, and it describes them as a laid back guy who just likes to have fun. They messaged me. Am I wrong to be confused and slightly affronted?

And LHB..... you forgot an attribute. You are funny as hell.

I think men and women are equally frightening. I often get a yahoo addy right away or an insistance to instant message. Sorry... just mail me here. I have gotten quite a few that won't do that, and say it takes too long. Sigh... I did ask one dude if he had ever thought of writing sentences together, to make paragraphs.... rather than one sentence per mail. He was upset, can you imagine? laugh
