Why do guys online profiles suck?

[DannyH]

Yeah I always wondered why the gorgeous guys hid away like recluses lol.

Easy it makes the world a safer place. Less women crashing from being distracted and no riots. lol

Seems like what she wants is someone taller than 5'8", employed, monogamous, honest, and generally nice... isn;t it pretty easy to deduce some of what a girl wants by seeing what she DOESN'T want?

That's just silly. Would you go into a restaurant and say "I don't want a steak. I don't want a chicken breast. I don't want broccoli. I don't want peas..."

And then get all pissed off when they bring you BBQ pork ribs with chickpeas?

no, it's much smarter to ask for what you do want.

vash is talking about the need for guys to read between the lines a little bit. And it's not rocket science to figure out that a self-respecting woman wants a man who's got a job, is honest, and is kind. Those are the basics.

And yes, women would do men a service by being more direct instead of setting them up for failure by making them guess. Men are horrible at guessing. I think women who encourage men to guess are secretly enjoying watching them fail so that they have a reason to incite drama.

Women AND men that do that crap are setting themselves up for failure. I'm not a mindreader, and neither are you. You want your needs to be fulfilled? State them. Period. Otherwise, you've got only yourself to blame when you don't get what you want.

True. I dated a guy that once said, "I just wish you KNEW what I wanted?!" And he said this after I nursed his whiny sickness. Made him soup, got him comfortable, etc. etc. But it IS also nice to know that your partner is paying enough attention to where you don't have to spell it out for them every time. My boyfriend should know at this point that my favorite flower is Jasmine. I've stated it flat out, he's bought me Jasmine perfume, and every time I smell Jasmine when we go out I stop dead in my tracks. If he ever guessed wrong, he'd be in for a dope slap. I even keep a good portion of this info on my Facebook so he has a reference point.

I hate drama queens, dick teases and attention whores!!!

I respect women who want to wait a while to have sex, to make sure the guy is "right".........I don't respect women who manipulate men for their own personal satisfaction. There are some mentally disturbed women out there, who just like to flirt with guys until they get interest, and then go "cold" on them.........

I dislike online profiles which state "there needs to be chemistry" No shit Sherlock!!

You are right. I guess some women hope that the right man will be smart enough to comprehend that when given two choices, if one is unacceptable, the other must be acceptable.

Most of the super gorgeous men I know live like hermits.

I agree, Im super gorgeous and I live like a hermit. Im really shy and I dont really get into on-line dating. It seems real dodgy. I saw a profile and she was trans-gender. The word "freak" was mentioned, in her intro statement."She" also claimed to be bi-sexual. Crazy Kid huh?

Yeah guys should get use to it.You'll spend whole life doing it.

[maxmax]

Just wonderin..

I'm wondering the same about your question.

I've gotten more than a few compliments on my online dating profile. If I can use punctuation, complete sentences, and capitals, who cares if it's in crayon? Lol.
