Don't people read?

[Georgie_Girl]

I love how my profile says "PLEASE don't message me asking for more information" and I get at least a message a week asking for more info. =^.^=

[Long Duck Dong]

don't have a profile and watch how fast you get hammered for not having a profile cos people want to know about you and to read your profile....

but yes I agree, a lot of people can not read or assume that they are exempt from things such as * don't ask for more info * and that gives a free indication of their ability to respect your personal space.... personally I have the opinion if a person can not respect your opinion online, there may be no way in hell they could respect you as a person in real life

Ah, but they're thinking that they are the special one that you aren't addressing- you're trying to weed out the idiots and weirdos and of course you mean for good people like them to just message you and persuade you how worthy they are . . .

[NJ Mac]

Part of human nature I guess, like the sign that says "WET PAINT" but people have to touch it just to make sure. No doubt some think your request is actually a subtle plea for them to ask, ask, ask you for more information so that you can be freed from your little straitjacket of small-town isolation and despair. Or maybe I'm reading too much into this. Perhaps you could give us some more information? Nyuk nyuk.

Not so surprising really--it is more or less like the reason that there is the old saying: "when all else fails--read the instruction manual!"

People either don't read the instruction manual when they buy something at all --or our profiles--or if they do read them both--they don't do a very close reading of those things!! :bigrin:

Georgie, NOTHING is as appealing as something you're asked NOT to do!

It's human nature and maybe a little lack of respect.

[Georgie_Girl]

So, I should change it to read "Please message me asking for all my personal details!"? :P I don't mind when it's someone commenting on a post I made here, but when it's random people whose screen name I've never seen that make it obvious they didn't even read any of my profile, its annoying. :bigrin:

Lots of people who join this site assume it is something other than what it is. They seem to think it is the express lane to sexual heaven. There are constantly posts from those who are upset because they have been on here for a whole week and they haven't met anyone yet. In addition to not being able to read your profile and comprehend what it says, they also didn't read the four simple rules Drew posted. If they read rule #4 they might have a better understanding of what this site is about.
4. Have fun. Learn. Share. Entertain. Discuss. Argue. Enlighten.

Sigh, this is exactly what I've said before on the profile debate. More than half the people who ever send me messages either partially read my profile or didn't read it at all. Usually it's just that they saw a picture they happened to like and decided that based upon that, it was necessary to badger me. For this reason, I can understan why many people don't like to have profiles whether or not I choose to keep mine.

[Georgie_Girl]

I added a disclaimer. ^.^


*If you decide to ignore this little bit, I will respond to you as rudely as possible. Thank you.

You should see all of the requests for friendship from straight guys to our profile on another site.

And this is also after saying in all caps "No straight men, no Gay men, no single women and no friend requests if you are out of our area".

It's not that they can't read.......they're just to LAZY to read. Or they are just too damned stupid to figure out that we are actually saying what we mean. I have no problem in telling them to re-read our profile and tell us what part of "No straight men, no Gay men, no single women and no friend requests if you are out of our area" did they not understand.

We all go through it, sadly enough.

[Cherokee_Mountaincat]

Hey Georgie? Can I get some information on the dont ask for more information information? *Snicker*
Ducking and running Cat :bigrin:
Huugggzzzzz

[oldbone]

Georgie: I wish to state that I am not requesting any additional information of which you are not inclined to reveal anyway. However, you may still be rude to me if that is part of the requirement for not requesting any additional information.

Thank you.

[Georgie_Girl]

Lol you guys are too fun. :)

[the sacred night]

Why do you have a profile if you don't want to share any information? You might want to take it down if you feel that way. I think when people criticize others for not having profiles, it's because said profileless individuals have tried to cyber with them or initiated some other interaction for which some information was a prerequisite. That happens to me a lot, although I don't criticize them about it, I just don't reply.

Well said.

DON'T PUSH THAT BUTTON!!!

You really can't blame them when you look at some of the threads in here.

they are just too damned stupid

I could not have said it better myself

We all get these stupid hits. I've gotten hits from guys who say they are only in town this week and want to get together OR am horny now and want to get together where my profile clearly says "friends first and I am not looking for a quick hookup".

whats really funny is I'll update my profile and I'll get emails from the same few people (trolls) who forgot they emailed me the last time I updated my profile. Then when I remind them that they emailed me in the past, they disappear.

My only answer is "they are just too stupid!"

[Donkey_burger]

Well, of course there ARE mental disabilities that can interfere with reading (but not writing), or emotional disabilities where some people think that they really ARE the center of the universe. :2cents:

But yeah, once a week? A bit much for EVERYBODY to have a disability! Even then, you would expect somebody to say "I'm having trouble reading your profile".

Of course, people who think they are the center of the universe don't do well online...

For whatever it may or may not be worth to you...... You sound like a conceited arrogant prick and I am not the slightest bit interested in you.

Respectfully....
