the reason we say tell ya later is that way you can't find reasons not to talk to us. ....besides if you state everything in a profile where is the fun conversations of 'getting to know you' type conversations. And come on let's be honest if looks didn't matter at all no one would be here. Everyone would hooked up with their neighbor ugly bobby, or ugly betty down the street. Not saying that everyone needs to be a super model, but if you not attracted to someone physically, i mean not at all, doesn't matter what they say in their profile because honestly you're not going to bother reading it anyway.


Seriously? Who are you kidding? We can find many reasons not to talk to men who don't make any effort to create a good profile.

"If you have any questions, just ask," or "if you want to see a photo, just ask." is worse than a mouse looking at a trap that instead of cheese, there is a note that says "if you want food, just step right here on this lever."

Its a trap.

Men who don't work on their profiles in my opinion are simply guys who joined this site to troll and browse pictures of women and sending them messages that just say: "Hi." or :"How are you sweetie?"

My response, if I even bothered to respond to a message like that is "who are you?"

I get to know people in the forums.

I see everyone has different points on the subject and I have to agree your first impression usually deals with looks but at least if I know what kinda personality you have then I know if we could even just be friends. I'm personal not sure about looking for love, but I sure could use friendship and looks don't matter then.

Not everyone is comfortable on the forums especially a place like this where obvious clicks have formed. I equate it to the new guy in a lunch room, if he has an intererst in someone he is going to try to get her alone to have a private conversation with....if when he tries that she never leaves the group, or doesn't allow a private conversation she may never fet to know him at all. I see forums as a giant lunch room, I might say a quick hi to someone but if their response is I'll get to know you in the lunch room by watching you introduce yourself to every one else when I have no intention of introducing myself to everyone else, I introduced myself to them, but they don't want private conversations....guess what they may be missing out in someone who was just genuinely interested in them, but before they even try to get to know them they tell them tioonly use the lunchroom aka forums....stupid approach Imo

Thanks for the explanation, isaac_dede!

But I am still curious.... how can you be genuinely interested in someone if you have never talked to them, or you don't know anything about them?

The picture in the profile? Can you really count on that to tell you much? Or what they wrote in their own profile? Really?

If you got interested in them from reading their profile, why would you expect them to get interested in you if there is nothing in your profile and they have never had a discussion with you in the forums?

Your interest in them is based on .... what exactly?

How fast do you think you can really get to know someone in a few private conversations? How many of these conversations must happen with each woman and how many women will you talk to before you find one you want to meet?

If you talk to several at a time, wouldn't that get confusing?

(Or maybe you want to flirt with several women at a time in private and not on a forum.)

But I will consider what you have said and perhaps start some private conversations with a few people and see what happens.

If you are lucky and you have been here a while, you can make a few friends, and you discover people you like and have fun with, and then there are those who annoy the hell out of each other.

Im really attracted to men who fill profiles with :
'ill tell ya later'
or the equally sexy :
'no answer, no answer, no answer, no answer, no answer, no answer'

But if I could find me a man who seems to be angry about women and how they dont know what they want, and how he has a job and a home, I would just plain fall down.

Dreamy. I guess I'll just have to keep a lookin.

In reality, they are probably doing you a favor. The lack of ability to communicate may mean they are not a match for someone as interesting and interested in discussing things as yourself.

In the forum, you may not make disparaging remarks to other users. Thats why its safe to get to know someone. Saying youre not comfortable commenting on topics of conversation in the forum, is illogical to me.

Why is using a picture of someone in their profile, which you think is a waste of time due to liars, more reliable? Are pictures not subject to the same 'liar' scrutiny?

Sounds like a lot of poop really. Im stickin with 'LAZY' and 'Unable to communicate'. Also falls in line with 'possibly in jail, or homeless and limited to library computers, or lives with mom'. I wish someone could develop an argument that would change my mind.

Are you with anyone yet?....no ? If not possibly it is because you exclude a whole set of people from the potential dating pool, if your fishing in a dead lake doesn't matter how often you change your bait, sometimes you just have to try a new lake, no further argument needed

(I'm not sure if you are asking me or kic the above question.)

I did a search yesterday for mingle men within 150 an 200 miles from where I live and 75% of the ones listed had no picture in their profile and no dialogue either. Most of them had not been on mingle for over a month. All of them live at least 50 miles away from me and someone would have to travel a bit to meet in person.

I get the impression that those men are not very serious or even trying to get a date. I think they are just browsing.

Just finding a date, (or being with someone) is not my intention. And why would I message someone who has no picture and no profile? How desperate would that look to them?

I have met someone I like a lot and a few people I would like to meet in person but they are miles and miles away... a long way to meet for coffee.

So getting a date may never happen unless I take a chance on a blind meeting with an unknown person 150 miles away.

maybe we should examine what the profiles actually say...

my favorites:
love to live life... ok
i love my kids.. who doesn't?
seems like most women love sports, till it comes time to actually watch them...
looking for a nice, decent man... but they date douchebags...then whine about dating doucebags...
most women like dinner and movies...
most are faithful to the right man... to bad for the wrong one...

all women are sensitive and caring... except till you meet them in person

my point is that anyone can say anything in a profile and it means nothing till you meet in person...

hilarious Moe - love itlaugh :wink:

but the gauntlet, I see, has been thrown down

I totally agree frm this side of the fence so let;s look at the valualbe contributions in many male profiles....starting with the afore mentionned:

loves camping (as long as we do all the preparation and clean up he';ll be happy to pound his chest, drink beer and light the charcoal)

into sports (total ESPN couch potato - hasn't seen the inside of a fitness center in years) and probably eats too much junk food

please NO drama (because he will create enough for us both

looking for a good woman (but will cheat on her with anything that has open legs)

shall I continue??? :)
