My online dating profile states that I am 39 and interested in men aged 35-45. This message came in from a 58 year old man.
I don't like your profile. I LOVE it!!!
>>>I would rather cuddle then have sex.
Classic! Epic! Hall of Fame material and I am not too easily impressed.
Oh, and by the way, you are absolutely, completely, thoroughly, abundantly,
entirely, totally, fully, utterly, extremely,
tremendously and enormously yummy!!!
I just had that in me.
I would LOVE to chat with you if you felt so inclined.
Now I was going to let the cuddle/sex reference pass because that's something I wrote in my profile (got that line from A) and it shows that he actually read through my profile most of the way to have gotten far enough down to read that line, however...
And you knew there was a "however" coming...
I'm annoyed that the only reference he made to my profile was regarding sex. In fact, I took the line out after I recieved this email because I worried (I'm becoming paranoid) that it's going to bring me the wrong attention. Because I want a man to read my entire profile and comment on something other than sex.
I'm also annoyed that this guy completely ignored that I was looking for men my own age. That's not to say that I couldn't fall in love with someone older, but I'm looking for someone my age and it's kind of irritating that men have read my profile wherein I state what I am looking for and then completely ignore those things.
This older man wasn't the only guy to do it, either. A hot guy sent me a message, which caught my attention of course because he's hot. I have no shame in admitting it. But again, my profile says I live in L.A., am seeking something long-term (and clarifies I'm not looking for booty calls or casual sex), and am interested in men 35-45. Hot Guy is a 22 year old college student from Palo Alto who's not looking for anything serious.
Hello? Do men even read these profiles or do they just ogle the pictures? If I only cared about posting hot pictures in order to get someone's attention, I'd be posting bikini shots of myself (from when I was in my 20s, mind you) on Craigslist, trolling for people to talk dirty to. But no, I'm on an online dating website to find someone to date. To meet someone who is looking for the same thing I'm looking for. To find a guy that fits my "type."
I should just change my profile to something like, "It doesn't matter what I type here because you guys are just ogling my picture anyway to determine if you want to have sex with me. So who cares what type of guy I'm actually looking for, you're going to message me anyway even if you're the exact opposite, thus making the time I spent on specifying likes/dislikes moot. I'm a woman, I have boobs. There you go."
How sad that I've been at this less than a week and I'm already over it.
