Re: False hopes
You make a great point, however based on my experience when
creating a profile, sometimes writing less can be more.
I'm not attracted to men with facial hair and I wrote
NO MARRIED MEN, or a more polite, "Sorry, but I'm
not interested in meeting married men" in my profile.
When my profile first posted, I received several rude,
mean spirited emails from men that apparently read my profile
and being either married, sporting a beard or both, felt
the need to write and let me know how narrow-minded I was.
I was advised to either "lighten up", "try
it, I might like it" or my personal favorite that "being
with a married man heightens sexual tension and creativeness".
Of course it does...for HIM!
I've always believed that people should think about
what they really want from a site like this, and actually
put in in their profile. You may not get as many responses,
but personally, I would rather get two emails that were
a possibility, than "hundreds" that did nothing
more than waste my time...also, if you are browsing and
come across an attractive pic but when you read their profile
and they are SPECIFIC about what they want (and you're
not it) please respect that and move on, DON'T WRITE
THEM to tell them they don't know what they're
missing, etc. They are obviously not stupid since the profile
is thought out, and you will only come across as annoying
and desperate.
