These profile sites are depressing me

[The Dark Guybrush]

just be yourself, dude.
if a girl doesn't like you when you're being you, then it's not worth it.

 

[Ghostvirus]

Wow, you two must really suck, can't even get a match or register on eHarmony.

Hey!....

 

[kainedamo]

exactly. when women speak of "being spoiled" and "treated like a princess" they are usually talking about manners and decorum, not $$$. If it's $$$ they're after, they usually make that abundantly clear.

Sounds like your pessimism is getting the best of you KD

I have no interest in dating a girl that would state "I want to be treated like a princess". What is she, 12?

 

[kainedamo]

So yeah, I think the longer I go being single the harder it is. I think desperation reeks from me.

True, and writing these women off as he has without even talking to them or meeting them first pretty much says he's cutting off all his own options and opportunities without ever even exploring them for himself, first. Hard to take whining seriously when someone does that to themselves.

no numbskull...she's a woman. And deep down many women want to be treated like that. Why do you think "chick flicks" and romantic comedies are so popular?? Because despite the rise in feminism and women being more self supportive, part of them, when it comes to love, are still waiting for their "knight in shining armor"...hence the princess wishes. What they mean is they'd rather not date a big bag of *****e...they want a good guy.

So then shooter...what in a profile would interest you??

PS- Sorry about the numbskull crack.

Yup, exactly. Its like saying you wanna be buff and strong, and then not lifting anything because 100lbs sounds like a lot of weight...some people like to hamstring themselves

I think its tacky, sick inducing, and immature.

Girls are always, ALWAYS very specific about what kind of guys they want talking to them. Most of 'em have a good long list of "what not to dos" before ya message them or whatever. All I ask is that in your profile you don't seem like a shallow, self deluded girl living on cloud 9.

Yeah, every girl wants a "knight in shining armor". And I want a ******* every night, but I'm smart enough not to put that in my profile.

Ok, first off...if you're willing to judge a womans desire (albeit romanticised) to be cared for in such a way as "tacky" etc., then man, you really don't get the female animal. Like, literally, you won't get one: in bed, in a relationship, into your life.

As for specificity, I don't think that's the case at all, I've known many, many women who have dated and married outside what they thought their "type" was. And as far as "what not to dos" go, its an internet dating site...they are trying to weed out the dorks, nutjobs, pansys, and psychos. So can you blame them for having some rules???

As for the bj versus knight analogy...I don't even have time to go into the massive explination it would take to describe how wrong that statment is...so I'll simplify: You're comparing apples to oranges...no, lima beans with that logic

let me tell you one thing, once you cover that "knight in shining armour" thing, you'll be surprised how willing she is to do the nightly bj

in other words, just be yourself, be nice, enjoy yourself and make sure she enjoys herself too, the rest comes easy

I know that women like to be cared for. They like that protecting feeling they can get from a man and so on. That is one thing. But to state that you "want to be treated like a princess" is another thing. I have to roll my eyes at it. Its a similar thing to that thread about "the perfect boyfriend" with a ridiculous list of really gushy girly nonsense. At 23, that isn't what I'm looking for.

 

[DV8]

let me say this again, KD . . . lower. your. standards.

Kaine, it seems you're giving up before you even get started. I agree that the princess thing is a little immature, but if you're as lonely as you say you are, you might as well at least talk to a few of these girls. Maybe they won't seem as silly once you get to know them a bit.

 

[kainedamo]

Well I'm just gonna tell Jag its called having standards. Women judge guys all the time. I can't judge women based on their profile?

Forget the whole thing. Forget the whole facking thread. Online is not where to go. Its a dead end. I've messaged like 20 or more girls over the last week and not one reply. This other girl, I've been talking to on and off over the last month and shes boring as ****. I'm thinking, maybe I should hit a club tomorrow night but thats not a great place to meet women either. Its all ****. I could easily, EASILY be single until I'm like 30.

So then, if I might ask, what would you prefer the girls profile say?? I'm really curious what you feel should be said in a "mature" womans profile. Please enlighten me.

jag's post reeks of on-pointedness . . . he speaks the truth . . .

Yup, and the truth hurts. Much like a red-hot poker up the ole' pee-hole.

What do you even base that on? My whole rant about not wanting to date "princesses"? Whats wrong with that?

 

[kainedamo]

My type would be a bookish cute girl and I'm not finding that anywhere.

Honestly, after reading this thread, that might not be a bad thing (at least for the women of the UK).

In person is definitely better. But wait a second, you said the one site you were checking out was kind of skeezy. So forget those girls who didn't reply. That was a dead end, anyway. Give the more reputable sites a fair try. If it doesn't work, nothing really lost except a couple of dollars. But give the girls a chance, before you judge them. And stop with the bars thing. I already told you about that. Get involved in some artistic stuff and meet people face to face. Also, if you think 23 year olds are acting too immaturely, maybe you should go for a little older woman ...

Funny, as the "bookish" types (at least those I know) are EXACTLY the ones who would use romanticized terms like "treated like a princess"...
