Personals Drama: Do you rate my profile?

Posted by airheadgenius

Someone wrote to me yesterday and said that mine is the best profile they have ever read.
Aww, thanks.
But "if I were to critique it"....
WTF???


And my profile is apparently too long.
Men have written to tell me that
"it's really funny, but a little too long"
WTF mark ll.
Did I submit the thing for a critique? You want to send it back with red pen all over it? Grade me even???
Don't write to me, dear heart, if it's too long - don't waste your precious brain cells thinking about a response.

Now, please don't misunderstand me, I am not suggesting that mine IS the best profile in the world, nor that it is without fault. But it is MY profile, created and published by me as a means to meeting a lover or a partner or even just for some light entertainment. It was not launched into the ether in an attempt to garner critique on my writing skills.

I get a bunch of emails saying "I read the whole thing"
Err, and??
Aren't you supposed to?
I read your whole thing too - in fact, I remain captivated by the dullest of them sometimes. Like WTF were you thinking??? Is this working for you? Seriously? Anyway, I digress.....

Ok mine is long as a profile goes, but it's hardly long as a piece of writing.
You don't win a special award because you made it through to the end and spent, oh...maybe 3 minutes of your time.
You concentrated for 3 whole minutes! Yay!! Maybe your mother wasn't demonstrative or something.....

Come on now, if I was trying to attract the kind of man that can't even be bothered to read what I have to say as well as look at my pictures, then I'd just use a picture of my tits. Or arse. Or maybe this one of me in a towel from my old blog..

.

And if you find my profile a challenging read, for Christ's sake, don't ever get yourself started on Ulysses!
(Oh calm down, I am not comparing my profile to the work of James Joyce. It is merely a size comparison. Geez)

I am very aware that my profile puts off more people than it attracts - given that I have been viewed in the thousands and written to in the hundreds. Presumably my face is more appealing than my brain.
Whatever. That's cool too.

Because my brain is where it's at. In my opinion anyway.

If you can't cope with my profile, or better yet my blog, then what's the point of even a first date, let alone a second?
If you can't cope with a woman with a brain and the ability to express herself - then you can sod off too.

There's all this talk from the hairier gender about their desire for an intelligent woman. "Looks are sexy, intelligence is sexier" and all that horseshit. Us chicks know that it's mostly just marketing. Yeah, portray yourself as mister new man equality, with just enough rugged masculinity to keep us wanting you. You ain't slick. You don't think we're going to notice the change a few months down the line when you're watching the game, scratching your balls and asking us to crack open another beer for you?

If you want someone to pad behind you thinking you are oh so fabulous, get a freakin dog.


p.s. If you are a genuine "looks are sexy, intelligence is sexier" new age rugged man, please write to me quick style. Thanks.

Long or short, a profile just need be honest.  In a comment on one of Z's posts I opined that I believe a good profile should weed out rather than reap quantity.  I'll stick by that.  

And long or short, it needs to be well written.  I appreciate a good laugh, and really appreciate being given a little pause for thought and reflection.  

And by the way, everybody I've ever met from England or Scotland says arse (not pronounced with the hard R like American poseurs say it) but generally have more words for that part of the anatomy in their arse-enal than arse.

acamil - glad to have been of service

zeit - not everyone uses the word "antidisestablishmentarianism" but it's definitely in the language. Arse is not regional, it's slang. My guess would be that anyone that uses slang would use the expression. Some people are just more polite than others.

recycled - most profiles are written by clichesRus. It sometimes amazes me that anyone gets laid off this site.

your profile is great, i've read the whole thing - twice!  

some guy that i didn't end up going out with, but did get as far as exchanging phone numbers, spent about 15 minutes critiquing my profile over the phone.  can anyone say "deal breaker"?  

btw - the towel pic works for me.  but, i'm thinking of switching to the one with the shotgun - that'll do nicely for me, i think.

AHG--cliches work for a lot of people.  They're a security blanket.  I agree though... a lot of the You Should Get To Know Me Because stuff says absolutely nothing.  I should get to know somebody because they like tropical vacations and museums?  Really?  It would explain why I can never find a peaceful beach or a museum that isn't packed.

Shotguns and towels are a good combo, I think.  I like to get off my first shot before I've toweled off.

Must read your profile... said:

I must read your profile... I enjoy well written ones :-)  I've read some great ones, which made me realize they weren't the person for me, but I still desire to meet the person who wrote that great profile (because it's rare)!  

Sadly many profiles are nothing to write home about.  It's not just the cliches - it's the non-statements like "I'd like to meet someone nice" (really - who is on here to meet a ass... errr I mean arse) or the blatant bitterness (I'd like to meet an honest non-game playing disease free gentleman... [unlike all my ex's])... it hardly seems worthwhile to write them to smack them upside the head.
