Oh no, I dont do no picture profiles either... its not that hard to get a picture up there. No picture could mean theyre all funky lookin.. yes as I stated its not all looks.. but cant be freakish. Looks ARE important to me to a degree, there must be attraction. But my point was that Its not going to be a picture no matter what they look like that nabs me. A awesome looking guy with no info still gets the total thumbs down from me.. no attention whatsoever, and if they email, they better SHINE. lol

I was at the begining of this orginal thread and now? Its still going? I just read over the last 2 pages to see what if anything good was coming from it.


Guess what same ole same ole. look we all have our preferences and whats , desires , needs. What each of us is looking for and the things that are acceptable . Whether it's in a profile or in the person . Mine? well I think it covers most of who I am. And if someone doesn't like it, so what?. If it's not enough do you think it matters or if it's to much? . To many times I read profiles of the women and they all read the same. Its like they have a cheat sheet? But that's to be expected. We have tried to live our lives like a story book and have those expectations embedded in our minds. So we post things just like that. And some just don't know what to say anymore , its all a blurr now.This applies to both sexes. I figure if I like someones picture and at least 1 thing they wrote then I will make contact. what have I got to lose anyway? my virginity?

It really isn't fair to make such generalizations about male or female profiles. Or anything about either sex for that matter. Not everyone is fortunate enough to have the gift of "gab". Someone's profile may read like a dream, but then again is it really about them, or what they think someone wants to see? Another's profile may be more brief and to the point, and yet another's may have just been filled in as an afterthought on a lonely evening and they really didn't know what they wanted to share about themselves with the whole world wide web. Only true way to know anyone is to communicate. If you want to know, ask. If not enough interest to ask, then don't, just move on. No one deserves to be condemned for what they do or do not say in such a limited format. Everyone has their own idea of how to begin an introduction to themselves. And yes, maybe some are better at it then others, but one can never truly know a person with out digging deeper anyways.

I've been accused of divulging too much information as a man, so I limit myself. I don't want to come off as effeminate or gay. I'm an excellent communicator with people who get to know me.

That's just sad - to have to limit yourself - But I totally understand. I used to write tons of stuff and post on my blog years ago. I didn't write thinking that anyone would ever read it and most was just my thoughts floating around in my head not my convictions or absolutes and it came back to haunt me. My children did NOT approve and were very offended. I too now limit all my writing, internet or paper, to only what I would want my children to read.

That is sad ;(

You really don't know a person tell you meet them,if there is chemistry...It's like playing the lottery,you take the Chance

if i tell you every thing you want to know then what do we talk about , just you ?

My profile is pretty well open.

I have also seen some of the profiles that some of the ladies put up and they pretty well correspond with what you asked about why men do this on their profiles too.

see then you get the guys like me that dont completley blow out the life story because they have been hurt and are afraid of it happening but trying to get back out. You dont always know what a guys gonna say till you ask we dont preplan what we say we just do.

Again I think EVERYONE - and yes EVERYONE misunderstood miss paisley lady --- she isnt asking us guys to "say everything" she doesnt want to know if we like feet or if we are into the smurfs because we watched it when we were kids and it brought us closer to our mothers....she is just saying that their are SOME PROFILES OUT THERE...SOME...NOT ALL...SOME...and she is RIGHT...there are some that say things like.."I like soccer, football, movies and french food. I enjoy ladies who are into the same things. If you want to know more ask." That is what she meant!

one thing tho paisley...ya only have 24 posts and you've been with mingle a while....do ya just not get on a lot or do you not look at the profiles of the people who "post" on bulletins? because usually the ones who do don't have profiles like you mentioned....thats probably why ya got this kind of reaction. you forgot you have to put everything in BIG BRIGHT BOLD LETTERS so people understand what youre saying.....sometimes ppl just hate thinking outside the box

I've read a lot of profiles that are pretty long, some hilarious, some extremely intelligent...

I think those that state "ask me later" are lazy or don't know what to say... I don't ask, I figure during communication things come up, questions arise that way...

I get annoyed when someone emails me "so what do you like to do for fun" ummmmmmmmmm if you read my profile you'd see a majority of it...

Mine's in a foreign rangruage so no one reads it.


Suits me fine...

so if you called me a slinky could i take it as a compliment?

Um no Billy that wouldn't be a compliment...

what language is "rangruage" cuz I checked your profile and understood it.

would you mind if i stole that from you? cuz thats friggin awesome

Sheesh...there's one in every crowd....

Um Billy did she tell you this or perhaps I missed it b/c I truly didn't read all the previous pages... I took it as I've seen profiles says exactly as "ASK ME" or "I'm an open book ask me what you want to now"... that is seriously all some say...

What I really want to know is why men pee on the wall beside the toilet.......
