Is it a challenge???

September 15 2010

For a few months now I have had a giant capslock warning at the beginning of my profile asking people not to message or flirt me because I was not looking for anyone new right now and got many people who obviously cant read messaging and flirting me regardless of this. Well thats what i thought the issue was - they couldnt read - however having just removed said warning my message and flirt rate has dropped significantly. I am still not looking for anyone new but it has got me thinking...as much as people complain about what they perceive as bitchy profiles are they really just after the challenge?? Can they actually read and are in for the thrill of the hunt??? Kisses Focus

    Aha, I've wondered about whether caps actually attracted rather than detracted attention from profiles after reading the many posts in the forums that mentioned how people can't read even though it's written in caps. I wondered how much it had to do with people messaging for the fun of it. Not my idea of fun, but we all get our rocks of in different ways. After all the recent posts mentioning all the different things people are here for, why wouldn't it make sense to also have those who just like to stir the pot, as we do in the forums. Or maybe as you suggested Focus... the challenge. Not my thing either way. A bit of respect goes a long way.Hugs... Mrs P

    Is there a chance that would make some of those that don't turn up... those that no longer feel any challenge? Always wondering, hugs... Mrs P

    Buggered if I know why they bother but then again, the best thing about hitting yourself in the head with a hammer is it feels good when you stop. When I read a profile I see it as an introduction of ones self and if that profile gives me the impression of: Having to jump through hoops Conceit Disinterest in a guy like me High maintenance Bitchy Demanding Obnoxious or Mentally unstable I just don't bother. Alot of ladies profiles have a list of demands like an angry ex wife in divorce court but us males cop all the same problems women have had. I have been stalked, harrassed, stood up, badgered for sex, asked for money, met unemployed, codependant and alll sorts but I don;t feel the need to write a 20,000 word essay on expectations and warnings on 29347845030 kinds of emails and people I'll put on block. Having said that, no Focus I think they are just rude or stupid. All knowingly unwanted advances ARE harrassment.

    As per my heading, there's a lot of it here, but focusliason you take the cake! AndrewEagle gets second prize - the view from up there is amazing when you're an eagle you don't miss much, but teh vantage is being able to realise what's prey and what isn't, or at least how to play with it! MrnMrsPeachyPear gets a special mention for dubunking the 'sisterhood' (that scares the socks back on of most men!)...and for restoring faith that not females - that's if you are the 'Mrs' part of PeachyPear? - aspire to the kinds of double-meanings mentioned in Ruggedly-Rugged 1st and 6th dot point. Focusliaison, I think you also answered your own question without all this need for couselling: "for the thrill of the hunt". Tip #1: CAPITAL LETTERS (which is anonther way of saying it plainly too BTW) ARE OFTEN 'READ' AS YELLING (hence, I suspect, the previous reason (your quoted reasoning for this occuring)...Some people just love the chase, don't they? Tip #2: A polite "no thanks" is much better than 'READ MY F...ING PROFILE YOU F...ING IDIOT AND DON'T CONTACT ME AGAIN...I'M JUST NOT READY'. Tip #3: There is a better way if you don't want people to contact you - i.e. turn your profile off (at least to them!), but that break's Tip #2, which I would class as the golden rule! Tip #4: Given this is predominantly - I would say almost universally - a sex meeting site, please consider if your profile heading "here for my friends" might be read by at least some people - especially by those on the "hunt"- as 'I'm collecting friends for a gang bang'. Tip #5: I never even knew you had "capslock" on till you said (mmm... perhaps I'm not on the hunt for you, or I just accidently overlooked you - probably luckily since you're not open for business - can we expect a CAPSLOCK notice in a prominent position when you will be?); BUT if counts I too thought what the f...k is this chick talking about 'capslock'...I wonder what THAT looks like???...but then you came to the party and filled us in rather graciously...I suppose we were just lucky you were responding to one of your 'friends'. Tip #6: SORRY THIS IS MY LONGEST TIP: Speaking of your friends, I suspect people also commonly 'read into' what you're after by your friends list, and dare I say you have QUIET A FEW (capslock!) - some of whom have pretty ambiguous (almost mystical) profiles with uncertain intent and interests, the least of which is Mr AndrewEagle himself - I can see why he's not called 'AndrewAngel' intead (no offence Andrew)...Then again we shouldn't go reading into what people's profiles are all about,and making grand assumptions should we, until we at least take the chance and give 'em a wink and hear direct from the little angel's mouths, even if the reply is in CAPS!...You can't judge a book by its cover I suppose, but you can always hunt through its pages... ...OH!!!.... I ALMOST FORGOT....TO MENTION FROCKER AS A SPECIAL NOMINATION AWARD! YOU AND I MUST KNOW THE SAME QUIET SHY TYPES UNWILLING TO SEND US NUDGE SCARED OF YOUR BIG KNOCKERS AND MY BIG STIFFY!...I THINK THAT'S A MATCH! ;) Best Wishes...
