Topic: A Quick Question

I've looked at thousands of profiles. Literally.

For one thing, I have to get material for the "ONE GLORIOUS PROFILE" thread from somewhere. I mean, sure, I could make stuff up, but it's more fun when it's the "real thing."

For another thing, looking at profiles is a really good way to understand just how vapid, illiterate, and boring people can be, without even trying. Seriously. About 90% of profiles I've read would have been better if the person had just tossed a bunch of Scrabble tiles up in the air and then copied whatever convoluted mass of letters they made, and used THAT as their profile.

I don't really concern myself with people's reactions to my looking at their profiles. A profile is there, ostensibly anyway, for public viewing, right? OK, so some people do get all bent out of shape when a "dirty old man," or whatever, looks at their profile. Whose problem is that?

Hey, do you hear me complaining about the fact that everyone who looks at my profile is 48 and has 3 kids ("AND THEY ARE MY WORLD!") -- ?? Well, yes. Yes you do. My ethics are rather fluid, I guess.



Perhaps you should shift perspectives bro....

Just look at ALL women like sexual MEAT.....Then base the success curve off of their ability to form a sentence.

You might find women to be pretty smart...

I know, it threw me.....

So....the MEAT part is why men crave so much of it then?

Wow....that's kind of disturbing. Shouldn't it be the other way around?

Oh wait....that's where the "smart" thing comes into play. Women figured it out....DAMN!

I guess I should go vegan.....Nah!!!

Oh, there are plenty of smart ones out there. I see them in the forums all the time. Lots of them can write very well, too.

Unfortunately, "smart" and "compatible" are not precisely synonymous.

You're definitely one of the smart ones! I've read enough of your posts to know that!

Oh, come on now! You have to learn to forgive and forget. Today is a great day. Turn that frown upside down, my little crab cake of love.

artlo says: I have the fear that some 30-something cutie-pie is going to be thinking, "Why is this dirty old man checking me out? What is he thinking"? Is this fear unique to me?


No art, it is not unique to you ... however it is not shared by all either.

Two things here:

First your 'fear'! Perhaps if you put 'perving' into a different perspective [pervspective?] it might help? .... we have all done it [perve] since the switch was flicked way back in the days of the 'Great Hormonal Flood' - the first thing we all do .. men and women .. is 'check somebody out' - its hard wired into us.

The difference is that in this environment we are 'caught out' every time, unless one cruises incognito .. whats it called? .. invisible? ... ah, yes .. by stealth! But i'm sure that has been mentioned somewhere in this thread already. So, if it worries YOU what they think about you 'checking them out' ... steal your way through the crowd my friend .. *smile*

In my mind however, that defeats the whole purpose for being here. That hackneyed old saying "you never ever know unless you have a bloody go!" [aussie version] still holds true today. 'Love' knows no barriers! But first each must know the other exists.


Secondly, this 'dirty old man' [/women??] thing, in my most humble of opinions is a most unfortunate social 'catch-cry' ...'old man/woman', perhaps .. but 'dirty'??????

Since when does looking at the opposite sex become 'dirty'?? I dunno! As far as I am concerned i still check out 25 yr olds with the same fervour i did when i was 25!! ... I have no control over that .. it is a natural thing to do ... what i DO have control over however, is to make sure i don't leer ... at anyone!

But check'em ALL out art! .. one of life's great ever persisting pleasures love

Well, if you are as synonymous as you claim to be, and it counts,then you should be able to count it yourself. (Duh.)

Since I started this thread, I've been doing a lot of perving. I always include a little note, And I've always gotten a nice, sweet message in return. There was a little setback when Our little Princess Yuck posted her thread, but that didn't last long. I keep forgetting that, when you get to a certain age, you can get away with some outrageous flirting because you are so "harmless". Women who are veterans here fully understand perving. It's the newbies who are stuck back in Junior College. .

I guess if they don't want to be perved, maybe they shold drop their profile. Perving is a GREAT way to see what interests people have and can strike up some good friendships if not more. So....pervers unite!!

So, now I'm wondering is, if you don't perv somebody, does she assume that you have screened her out from any possible interest. Might she consider this a slap in the face?

I don't think it makes a lot of sense to spend time trying to evaluate what someone else is going to think about the fact that I did or didn't look at their profile. They can interpret it any way they want.

Of course, that's right. It was a fleeting thought.

People look at mine all the time, and I never hear from most of them. I just chalk it up to the fact that my profile is pretty precise re: what I want and what I don't want.

You understand Art....

You have earned a black belt in Mingle.

Congratulations my good man.
I am very proud of you.

Why do you think you can get away with outrageous flirting because of your age?
