I recently came across a profile where this young lady had written about leaving this site because men use words like baby, honey, beautiful ect when messaging her and shes highly offended that men would speak that way to her when she doesnt even know them and why are all the men just trying to f**k her on a dating site... My response to her is as follows lol: I just wanted to say that after reading your profile rant i was shocked. This site like mant others have the option for "casual encounters" meaning that there are people on here just wanting to get down and dirty. If thats offensive to you maybe you should try "E Harmony" or "Christian Mingle" You are a beautiful women so why take offense to someone telling you they think you are? I use the word hon alot in messages, is that wrong as well. I swear politeness is so rare these days that some people mistake it for flurtation...Please, message me back.

So, you're ranting about someone else ranting?

Good work brother.....file that b!tch in the..."no effen way" category...then move on to the less psycho chicks....

They are rare but good to find. (Less psycho chicks)

I'm pretty much only on Mingle for ranting.

Atleast post your rants here and not as your profile info. lol Who really wants to read that your fed up with online dating when your viewing their profile? Just simply move on and sign out. Try real world dating for a change youll see its much the same. If your offended by compliments, that says alot in itself.. Im new on here and ive tried other sites. this site gives you the ability to have these forums for discussion and actually get to somewhat know other people. Its a multi use site for friendship, dating and even sexual encounters. If you cant take the heat, get yo azz out da kitchen.

Yeh, the forums are for ranting, not your profile. That's ignorant.

What's wrong with ranting? I come on here specifically just to see who's ranting

Relax, man. Use your own advice and just move on. There are plenty of profiles out there to read.

Each person you meet or read will be at different point of personal development. Some will still be stuck in the blaming outside environmental influences for their own failures and/or difficulties.

If they are at a different place in their journey than you are and it is intolerable for you to be around them.....

I wish you a journey full of great lessons so you will get to the point of personal happiness sooner.

i think to stay single, lol..

Oh, gee. A woman dared to use her profile to state what she thought about the way that strange men talked to her. Oh, the horror of it all.

[ /sarc ]

There is no rule or law which forbids people from ranting on their own profiles. So, why are you opposed to the woman's exercise of free speech? If you don't like what she says, then move on.

To be fair, calling someone 'baby' or 'honey' without knowing them is a bit much and to some, disrespectful. It is true, every so often people are just being kind but there is a lot of arrogant males who are out just for some play who use sweet words as bait for their own hidden agendas. I've seen it done far too many times... makes the rest of us look bad. I'm kind of on the fence as I think there are some elements that would be fine to say on the profile, but more often than not most things are best left for conversation or as you said, to be posted on a forum. The woman may be broken, but more than likely, she has good reason. Doesnt do anybody any good to judge her and then make a post about it. You made some good points but I believe went about it in a less-than-optimal way.

I have a problem simplifying... willowdraga said it best. Respect~

I have always found the proverbial 'highways of life' overcrowded with traffic and full of 'pot-holes' to get stuck in. I took all the roads less traveled; the roads that anyone in their right mind would not take. I followed my own drummer on the back roads; go run-over and left a few times and eventually followed that drummer over the edge of a dead-end road. I survived...or so I think.
Let people rant on their posts; better here than in someone's face. Here the ranters are subject to others and their opinions and observations which may cause the ranter to reconsider their views both for their benefit and others who may be unfortunate enough to be a target for a verbal rant. Ranting here can have both an immediate and satisfying effect as well as a perhaps much needed differing take from the readers. There are more than enough people with mild to severe problems and issues roaming the streets, why add another one...

Being called baby, sweetie, honey and so on by complete strangers makes me think those guys call all kinds of women by those names. Rather than be one of many, I prefer my own name used if we have been introduced. No need for cutesy little terms of endearment from strangers as it's cheesy and insincere.

Just say...."Well Darlin'...Bless your heart!"...and move on.

As I see it, the woman mentioned in the OP did nothing wrong. Being that it was her own profile, she had every right to say whatever she wanted to say on it. Anyone who doesn't like what she said is free not to be associated with her.

We Don't need to go very far to find rants ^^^^

God bless your soul John I agree with all your points emphatically.

Just joined, don't know wtf I'm doing here, wondering how it all works, and how quickly I'll get my nasty little end away.

Help me get my end away John.

I have to say, this has turned out to be very interesting to say the least. Half of you have this Dr. Phil mentality going on. "You can take a monkey on a roller coaster but dont expect him to bake you a cake afterwards" Whats that even mean? My honest opinion is, none of you are here for the rants. Most are here because finding someone in the real world is too tough. Am i wrong? I use the term "Thanks hon" alot in "real life", Maybe to a waitress who brings that refill or the lady at the drive thru window somewhere. This is part of a country upbringing and is just being decent and polite. Its certainly not to be taken offensively. I apologize for being offended by this young lady who in my opinion is not only trying to cut the scumbags off at the pass but also keep the "good guys" at bay. My apologies. I still believe that politeness is so freakin rare these days that people mistake it as flirtation.

I
truly believe there still are polite people around. As I hang around
with many who are. She's probably just fed up of the low-life scumbags,
and is feeling like she doesn't care for men much right now. Given how
ones she was with portrayed themselves as nothing worthy. What's so nuts about the whole thing, is that rather than those men putting their best foot forward, they put their worst one forward. It really makes me hide from men at times.
