time for a rant. I see on a lot of profiles that people have the ridiculous expectation that they will meet someone worthwhile by demanding that someone they've never met, spoken too [sic] or even exchanged hellos with, should take the time to write a detailed message explaining their value and why you should get to know them. I really don't understand why people think that will work. think about it like you were irl, if you like someone you go over, introduce yourself and say hi. what you would never dream of doing is going over introducing yourself, and then perform a soliloquy describing all your good points.

I know, right? It's like, what the hell, am I applying to college or something? What are they going to want next, my SAT score (wicked high)? Senior year lacrosse stats (all-conference)?

It's like one time I saw this woman in the grocery store, all dressed up like a cop. So you already know what was going through my head. I'm thinking "This one is kinky." So I go up to her and I'm all "Hey, baby."

So she just kind of stares at me. It's awkward but I can tell she's into me. So I'm like "Wanna beat me with your little stick?"

She keeps staring at me, kind of nervous now, and I just know the ol' Orpheus Charm is working its way through her system. Then she says, she says to me, "You know I'm a cop, right?"

I mean can you believe it? Chick actually thought she was a cop. But whatever, the weird ones are always the most fun. What do I do? Just reach over, grab her little "night stick" and start twirling it, kind of taunting her like "If you want this back, you're going to have to reach over and take it."

Long story short I got handcuffed, tossed in the back of her car (she'd even painted it like a squad car) and driven to her private and surprisingly well-staffed dungeon. After I'm "processed", I get tossed in a cage with a bunch of her other play partners. Kinkiest weekend ever.

Okay OP, quick question, do you whinge and moan about strangers on the street do things that you may come across in your daily life and then find a whole group of people - say stand in the middle of a busy public street and want to whinge and moan to see if you can get a consensus about it from strangers?

To me, you have a couple options -- 1) decide to utilize your life for more productive things like perhaps looking for profiles you enjoy, rather than whinging about those you don't; 2) block the profiles you don't like and move on to find profiles you do like. etc etc.

You are technically sitting here whinging about what people put in their profiles (THEIR PERSONAL PROFILES that are made to attract people they enjoy -- not necessarily there to appease every person just because people are looking at their profiles. I mean do you see why this sounds silly for you to be complaining about?

Profiles aren't there for YOUR personal convenience, they are there for the convenience of the poster to attract those people who may be interested in their profile and may want to utilize the information to start a get to know you phase.

Here's the biggest piece of advice you may ever get on these boards -- you can ALWAYS click NEXT PROFILE or even say no i am not going to give you all of that and see how they respond.

Seriously, you are online -- its time to realize that just like offline, people aren't here to do everything the way YOU like it. Take what you like and move on to the fun part instead of sitting here worrying about things people put in their profile you don't like.

Imaging what the effort you have expounded here whinging about this could have accomplished if you simply put it into finding profiles you do like and communicating with those profiles you do like.

You can always step off the internet if it affects you so much.
