It seems the majority of the men on the dating sites don't fill out their profile info and then say "ask me anything and I will tell you" Man that bugs me.

Most women I know have a common complaint that their men don't share or talk about their feelings, hopes, dreams and goals. If you are starting out by saying "Ask Me" it's a pretty tell tale sign that later on in the relationship the women will have to ASK to get the guy to talk and share.

I am searching out someone who doesn't need to be asked - someone who wants to share ... someone who communicates without a prodding.

Why do you guys do this??? arrrggghhh.


So your logic here is if you want info you shouldn't have to ask for it? So are we supposed to just assume what you want to know as opposed to you doing a simple thing and asking about it?

Seems to me like you want an open book of a relationship that will eventually fail when you know everything there is to know about a person a month into it...what's left to learn?

Why do women start "why do guys..." threads and men start "why do women..." threads?

I realize there are reasons stereotypes exist, but it's never actually the rule, IMO! And no one has to pursue those stereotypical persons. Just sayin'! flowerforyou

Wow! I had forgotten that I made this post and just logged back in to see the boat load of replies - You have all given me much to think about -

I am not normally the ***** and whine kind of girl that bashes on men - I love men, really I do, I have just gotten to the point in my life where I have decided I truly just don't understand. My questions are not meant to be mean or offensive in anyway - just absolute curiosity!

First: Welcome to the forums. You should have a good time!

Second: Many woman's profiles say the same thing. Why? I don't know.

Thirdly: Be patient. If treasure was easy to find, it would all be gone.


First - Thank you!
Second - I am learning from these answers lazy, mystery, mean
Third - I expanded my search today and found some spectacular profiles

Do you communicate without prodding.

Must be nice to read minds that way.


Actually I do communicate without prodding but I guess I am weird that way, being a writer I communicate all the time. I don't read minds - if I did I would have nothing to write about and certainly wouldn't be asking such stupid questions.

Hmm, I'm not one to put my life story out there, have you tried emailing & talking to someone that you may be interested in?


That's the question - how would I know if I would be interested in them. I guess my problem is I don't know what to ask someone I know nothing about.

first welcome to the site and the forums. Here in the forums you get to know people and see what their responses are . It does tell some about each individual. . join in .. AND not all men are what you say. some of us do want that open communication. :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:


Oh I totally agree that not All men are the same Anything - I don't judge based on gender or stereotype and I haven't had the opportunity for a woman to say "just ask me what you want to know" so I wasn't aware that women were guilty of this as well.

Paisley, I've run into the same issue. The profile is meant to be an introduction, a conversation starter, a chance to see if we have anything in common. If a guy doesn't take the time to complete his profile, I don't bother with him. If he truly wants to get a date here, he'd make the effort, right? If he can't be bothered to write an attractive blurb to start some conversation, he's probably too lazy to keep up a relationship, IMO. The profile is his chance to "sell" himself; if he's not going to take the opportunity, why is he here? Makes no sense to me. This is an ONLINE dating site, so obviously communication must be in writing.

Likewise, I don't understand not adding a pic to your profile if you're seriously looking to get a date. For most of us, there has to be a physical attraction to get us interested. A guy could be the best catch on the planet, but without a photo and an introduction, we'll never know.


Thanks for your spectacular response - I completely agree!
