Weird stuff in dating profiles?

[bullygirl979]

This one isn't so weird but it made me stabby:

You should contact me if: you can run at least 3 miles, you are less than 150lbs, you are less than a size 8.

I was really tempted to contact him just to tell him what an ass he is. And to tell him that in fact, I've run 13.1 miles, I AM less than 150lbs and I am a size 4 but there is no way in hell I would ever date him because I don't date assholes.

[starburst604]

What a fucking asshole Bully. I once dated a guy who told me he "didn't date over a size 6". Proof positive that men have no idea what our sizes mean, because I'm a size 8 on a GOOD day, a 10 on the others, and he was dating me. I ended it shortly after that.

Right?! I mean, I get that we all have preferences but putting it like that A) makes you sound like an elitist dick and B) means you are so narrow minded that you could limited yourself from a lot of great people! What is you meet a woman who can run marathons, is a total bombshell and has a stunning personality--but is a size 10? You seriously wouldn't date her??

Is this really any different than the women who won't give the time of day to a short guy?

I mostly see lots of dead animals, guns, camo, etc. This is a huge turnoff... I don't want to date someone that hunts or has lots of guns so this eliminates a huge portion of the Idaho population

You already know my response to this. MOVE TO PORTLAND

I think it's a little different. 5'7" is 5'7". A size 10 can mean a lot of different things based on height, body type, etc. Not defending women who strictly rule out guys based on height, but I do look at it a little differently.

I have to agree. You're too fabulous for that place. Get out!

Yeah I agree with a size 10 being different things. I'm a size 10 in American Eagle because it's junior clothing meant for kids without hips. I'm a 2 or 4 or 6 in normal women's clothing. Also, size is different on different heights. A woman who is 5'9" and a size 10 is a lot different than a woman who is 4'11" and a woman's size 10

Right but I honestly don't think men understand that women's sizes fluctuates. My main point is that it's still a physical thing and does it really make him more of an ass to say that than the women who say they won't date someone who is under x height. If he had said if you have a 28 inch waist or less, please respond, would it be different?

I'm feeling a little stabby and playing devil's advocate today.

Well I think a woman who actually writes in her profile "Don't contact me if you're under 6 feet, shorty!" is just as bad as that guy. It's one thing to have expectations in your head and another to actually write it in a profile. I know people list their age/height/location range but I don't think it comes across the same. People list their ideal but most of the time are more flexible. I also wonder how Bully's guy will verify the woman's size. Do a size check of the tag on her pants when they meet? ^o)

[turtle1120]

The absolute weirdest thing I ever saw in a profile was a guy who was completely naked and sitting on a toilet, holding a guitar in front of him to cover his junk. The caption on the pic was, "Do re mi fa so la ti plop."

The worst part is that he actually sent me an email. I responded and said he'd never get a date with that pic and caption. He responded to tell me it was hilarious and I would never get a date because I was no fun. I blocked him.

I did see the humor in it, but come on....a dating site is NOT the place for that!

I agree with starburst. You can be 150 lbs and be totally unhealthy or be 150 lbs and be totally in shape. Plus 150 pounds looks very different when you are 5'1 compared to 5'10.

Those asshole men make me mad! I think I might start writing something like "Don't write me unless your dick is at least 7 inches long, 3 inches around and you can fuck for a good 30 mins before busting"

Haaaa that's awesome. Make them send a photo as proof.

[bullygirl979]

Starburst-- should I set up a date with him just to check?? LOL

And pdx, I get where you are coming from. Generally I have issues when people get so narrow minded they won't step out of their standards. Do I prefer to date men taller than 5'9? Absolutely. Have I dated guys shorter than me? Yes. If you have EVERY characteristic that I am looking for minus the height, I am not going to send you packing for it.

Andplusalso...I think the dude worded it REALLY badly. I mean, say something like "I am really into health and fitness and want my SO to be as well. I would love to find a girl who can be my running partner/workout partner". I still get the idea that you are looking for a skinny chick but you don't sound like an ass.

That is pretty freakin weird!

[explorer2001]

Apparently I'm a bitch. I refuse to date anyone shorter than my mother.

She's 4'11" by the way.

You see, I think a lot of these guys think they deserve a super model GF but for most of them, those kind of women are so out of their league. They're clueless lol

Bully, I would be tempted to send him a message and ask for crazy things like: your biceps must measure between so and so inches, your % fody fat should be 4% max, you need to be able to run full marathons 2 days in a row....

My fave was the guy I was chatting with on match. He was hot and probably pretty smart considering his PhD in some engineering discipline (and I like the hot nerdy type).

During one of our chats, he said, "I should probably let you know I don't date the 'traditional' way." I asked what he meant. He said, "Well you know how most people go on a few dates and then if they like each other they have sex? Well, sex is very important to me and being sexually compatible is a key thing in a relationship for me, so I prefer to have sex first and then decide if we want to date."

I responded, "I see you have been active on match for a while. How's that 'non-traditional' way of dating working for you?"

That was the end of our chats.

Shut the front door!

One guy I saw, he wrote in his profile, I'm just a good guy. If you are expecting to be treated like crap, I'm not for you. Because of that, I'm always looked over. Nobody ever wants to date me. I understand.

I found out he was a friend of a friend and decided to talk to him for fun, oh, my gosh! He played the victim on everything. Nothing was ever his fault. Plus, the fact he carried on conversations with XXX girls on twitter to get pictures didn't help either. Leaving twitter accounts open for everyone to see is fun.

[bookworm85]

I seen one that said White hole looking for Black pole Ewwww disgusting it included a picture too lol but what should I expect on craiglist. No ladies I don't date on there. It's something to make me laugh when I'm feeling down

Wow what's he going to do when this "perfect" woman has a baby? Also, women can be very tall and lean and still over 150 pounds. What a d-bag.
