I didn't mean they don't leave the house at all. I chatted with someone recently who just liked the area he lived in. He saw no reason to go see other places. That's the kind of thing I'm talking about.

i dig a fisty whiskey girl lol

well ya didnt say that, now did ya?

its okay...you know you like to argue with me...and i you

its fun, youre good...takes someone special

I like two of those things. I think I would like to travel, but never do except to Ft. Worth

For me, I like to see that a guy likes to travel. Especially when it comes to dating. It means that later on down the road, I'll have someone to travel to new places with, which is important to me.

i think everyone "should" like to travel....somewhat.....ya know what i mean??

who wouldnt wanna go to disney world or the smokies?

That's just it, though. You can't speak for everyone. It would be great if everyone did, but that isn't the case.

you know itrs gonna get reall friendly now. i like to travle. been to the grand canyon every spring brake for the last 9 years its sorta a comfortthing to go out and see stuff you dont every singal day. :) singmesweet your one of my fav thread posters lol you keep me on my tops with spelling and grammer. poke poke poke .... Mega pokes you ha ha ha im evil so whats new every one. singmesweet did you read my long post on here page six lol

I've seem girls say that thing about beaches but so many of them live a thousand miles from any beach.

i agree with this if you never leave home and just loaf about like a bumb in pjs and a hoodie you'll let life pass by at such a slow rate

Creeks an lakes have beaches ya know

Yup!

Guess that means they must like to travel, huh?

i am not speaking for everyone

i am speaking for myself

but i am indeed talking about everyone

why would i break it down into groups?

why not generalize? isnt it easier for you then?

i mean i can break it down into groups -- but then my threads get longer and complicated

Why would you generalize? That's the problem with this thread. The OP was generalizing.

I find categories work better, ur hoverin between #1 an #2 at the moment, I'll keep ya updated

I have run into this, but most of the women's profiles I've read don't even get THAT deep. It's usually "I don't know what to write here" or "Anything you want to know you'll have to ask" or something comparably vapid.



In my experience, about 97% of all profiles are basically just cut-n-paste stuff they saw on somebody ese's profile. At least 97% of all women are "laid back and easy going" (how does anything ever get done?) or "down to earth" or "tired of dating loosers," whatever those are.

I think most profile language is geared for effect (the presumed effect it will have on the prospective reader), not because it has any relevance whatsoever to the person "writing" it.

When I see something like "I'm the most unique girl you will ever find. I love my friends and family, I like to go out or stay in," that tells me everything I need to know.



Well, they think they're SUPPOSED to say that stuff in order to get noticed. So they say it, even when it isn't the case at all. It's just like the "Looks don't matter, it's what's on the inside that counts" crowd. They don't mean it but they believe they have to say it anyway.



I think you're right on the money, and I've been saying this same kind of thing for ages. A lot of people don't want to hear it, though.

i like how they're all looking for mr right or prince charming or a good guy or "the one".

Ahh ((Drew)) You know you are a good guy

The real problem with this thread is that you try to start a discussion about a general topic or an anomoly that was noticed and try to dissect it and understand it, and instead of trying to understand a few people come in and want to talk about themselves and their own profile instead of seeing the bigger picture.

Secondly, if you don't want to see the bigger picture, why would you specifically walk in and start posting on a thread that isn't meant for you discusstion?? I've counted 4 people so far who really get the message of this post, included the OP (me). And so far, none of them are the women that came in here to rant.

What people generally don't understand is that everybody knows that there are exceptions to generalizations. I didn't say that every listing where someone claimed to like camping was a lie. I said that generally (90% or better) you see listings that say this kind of stuff, like "I like the outdoors" and in reality, generally about 30% of people actually live up to their "love" of the outdoors and the others don't. The difference between what people say about themselves and who they really are is twisted in our society because nobody likes to face the reality of who they are.

There was one guy or two in this thread (as well as the women who did it) that immediately resorted to talking about themselves instead of talking about the topic. There is something to be learned from that. I said in the beginning that this was not an attack on anyone in particular. I don't attack, I don't even care when I'm looking at the big picture.

There are others who love to attack and make little snide comments like "these guys will be posting about 'why am I single?'" that warrent direct responsed like "I know exactly why I'm single, because I keep turning noisy chicks out." and it gets us nowhere with the discussion, but it does rack up the pages.

Personally, I like to see all the people that get defensive about threads and post confrontational things about the opposite sex specifically to do harm to their egos. I know that's the kind of people I want to stay away from. If you are making generalizations and everyone knows that there are exceptions, then there is no reason to get upset about what the generalization is and posting the cli'che "there are exceptions for every rule" comment that everyone else in the room is well aware of and the comment is completely unneccessary.

Ever study psychology? Usually when you get offended very easily by a generalized comment its because you fit some part of that profile and your ego wont let your subconscious admit it to the conscious part of your brain (brain/mind/spirit or whatever you believe in).

***note, this is another generalization and there are exceptions, but not as many are true as are claimed, as in all cases of exceptions***

Instead of getting defensive, why don't you hostiles look through some listings on here. Not alot, say 10 or 15, then come back and comment something constructive about similarities you noticed between the threads? That would make for a healthier discussion than just taking everything to heart and being a crybaby.

^--again, didn't mean that as an attack on any one person, just sayin.

My friend is here
