Its interesting what bothers people. That one doesnt bother me but I can tell you, I assume they are here to collect a harum. After all they are talking to plural women. What annoys me is when they say, "Looking for a women...." A woman or just women. Shouldnt you decide? lol, I think thats mostly an interpretation issue with those for whom english isnt their first language |

'A women' is such an obvious grammatical error that I would have to come to the conclusion the typist was not an english speaker or that he was just not educated beyond grade school in either case, not much chance of a match |

we are on a dating site/social network they ARE talking to more than one person,,whatever gender at least thats how I see it I expect everyone here to be talking to many. Its the implication that their GOAL is to have many, thats a turn off for those who seek a long term relationship. yes that is the distinction I thought of too |

I don't mind guys saying the word Ladies as I refer to men as Gentlemen. I think its just the assumption that more than one person will look at your profile. I don't think it was meant to be derogatory; just a way to address women.

I get the giggles....and imagine someone with oily hair slicked back, and a pimp moustache from the 1970's....sans stretch jersey shirt undone to the navel, and lots of gaudy gold bling... it's the funniest line...smoooooth....and sooooo not sexy.... I'm with you! LOL we're "just two wild and crrrazy guys" |

I don't think it was meant to be derogatory; just a way to address women. I agree with this. I think people are overreacting. But sometimes it is not used in that context and in those cases those posts speak for themselves, as hardly anybody responds to them. This is a fact, as we see those posts get high number of views but only 2-4 replies. It doesn't mean they have bad intentions. It only means, metaphorically, if one man was in a room full of, let's say 200 women, and a man picked up the microphone and said "Good evening ladies, you all look lovely tonight, who is interested in me?" versus that same man approaching one woman in a crowd or speaking into the microphone: Hello ladies, I'm here because I am looking for that one special lady, will you help me find her?" Both scenarios will get different responses. That doesn't mean one is right and one wrong or that people are overreacting. |

Agreed; we all respond differently to the way people address us and there is no wrong or right. I suppose its all how you interpet it as just being a greeting or someone being sarcastic. As I said, I use the term gentlemen fequently and have never heard anything negative about it. As a few posters said I would rather hear the word ladies than biotches personally. |
