"I have noticed an increasing number of 'angry profile', basically profiles written in an aggresive or angry way.I realise that people need to put accross there preferances and some people dont read them (which can lead to frustration) but there are ways of doing it that dont require BLOCK CAPITALS and aggresive texts. Is this a new thing or has it been around for a while." its called frustration i think | |||

"People certainly don't need to shout 'NO SINGLE GUYS EVER' etc. There is a button to block single guys contacting. I sometimes think some people don't use this so they can moan and berate them when guys do contact." I sometimes wonder that too | |||

"One man's shout is another man's emphasis! I'm only seeking STRAIGHT, SINGLE, SUB, WHITE men OVER 45. Some might think that's shouting and aggressive I see it as emphasising the playmate I'm looking for! Granted I still get messages from bi, married, Dom, non white guys so it could be as someone else wrote: wind up! " I think what the OP is getting at is not so much emphasis, but more the "IF BLA BLA BLA CONTACTS ME YOU WILL NOT GET A REPLY, YOUR MESSAGE WILL BE DELETED AND YOU WILL BE BLOCKED!!!!!" or "CAN SINGLE GUYS NOT READ ?, ....." and all the rest of the similar lines that we see in profiles. I'm not sure that I could class that as 'emphasis' in fact it's more of a threat than anything else. Sometimes makes you wonder if the profile holder is equally as stroppy and intimidating in normal life | |||

"Dare I say... 'live and let live' ??" of course, but threads like these show peoples opinions, and can help some to rethink how they go about things. | |||

"Yep, there are some scary sounding people about, and we would avoid them. On a different subject, Mr Lick 77, I thought your pic when I first glanced at is was you sat with your legs open with a very knobbly half blue cock I have now looked closer and realised what it is, and have just made an appointment for the opticians " Whizzes off to have a look at Mr Lick and agrees Rugby needs to go to specsavers asap | |||

" I had an on and off conversation with a very attractive young single female who had a very shouty profile. After I first messaged her she replied to say that altho I sounded like I was up her street she wasnt looking for single guys at that time, but to drop her a line in maybe a month or so. This continued for a few months, until one day, 6 weeks or so after we had last spoken, I dropped her a message with a headline which in hindsight was perhaps a little ill advised: "Its That Time Of The Month Again".....began my message. Instantly Blocked!! " lol That'll learn ya! You don't want to meet someone without a sense of humour tho. | |||

"It is generally taken that caps in cyber talk (whether on e-mails or on things like profiles) is shouting." This is true, but on a site like here, where we are restricted with type, I'm not sure it should always stand as so. Before the site changed, we had lot's of colour, some bold and a few underlined comments etc etc, but now, the best we can do to make something stand out is words in caps. If for example it says, SORRY, NO SINGLE MALES. then that is ok to me. if however it says..... NO WINKS, YOU WILL BE BLOCKED. or the like, then I would take this as shouting. | |||

"we do it in CAPS,COS A LOT OF THE TIME I THINK PEOPLE JUST LOOK AT YOUR PICS,SEND A MESSAGE,LOG OFF AND CONSTANTLY TRY YOUR PATIENCE,its not aggressive just read profile and if you dont fit the bill , move on,we aint got time honey" Problem is, it does seem rather aggressive if I'm honest, and that in itself could put off any potential meets, I imagine every couple will get messages much like yourselves, where your profile hasn't been read properly, I know we do, quite a lot, and all we have on our profile other than two pics is that we are not seeking anything right now. trouble is, it's how we deal with it all, many a potential meet could well be put off from contacting you, so in the end, you don't help yourself, but shoot yourself in the foot. Just trying to help. | |||

"Lol, remins me of a couple I unfortunately bumped into on a Friday night at Chams. I was on my way to the conservatory ("smoking deck"/"most sociable area") when there was this couple sat on the seats at top of the stairs. Barely stopping I smiled to say "Hey guys, how you doing, hope you're enjoying your night" when the male half barked "LEAVE US ALONE, WE DON'T WANT SINGLE MEN - WHY DON'T PEOPLE READ OUR PROFILE?" This made me wonder, did they think they were so popular that anyone and everyone had seen their profile on whatever site they may have been on, or was it my mistake I couldn't read their profile written in invisible ink on their faces with "No Single Men" on it. And then there's the rudeness and their attitude - and on a Friday n ight at Chams for that matter! " What bizarre behaviour I would have laughed my head off at them | |||

"why is there so much fuss over this.if we get a message ha ha ha,outwith our preferences.we just delete,its so simple.it definately doesnt upset us." Threads like this are quite good, IMO. Reason being, people can sometimes act on impulse, or with a knee jerk reaction, threads like this help people to express their views, and help others to see views expressed. It can be real helpful to some. This thread highlights that aggressive style profiles may lose you some potential meets, rather than stop those you don't want from contacting you. | |||
