Get Over Yourself!

Why do some guys insist on being so negative in their online profiles? Every now and then, and it seems to be happening with increasing regularity, I'll run across an online profile that is so bitchy and negative that I have to wonder why does the guy even bother? Why not just put a line in there that says "I'm a mean, bitter person. Don't bother me."

I was browsing through some profiles on Silverdaddies today and came across one that just set me off. It was a full page diatribe about what he doesn't like. Included in the diatribe was a list of his most hated emails, which he included in the profile. I can't imagine anyone would respond to him after reading his negative bullshit.

I understand the frustration of getting messages from guys that you have no desire to talk to. It happens all the time. My favorites are when someone messages me and says "I'm looking for a big dominant top." I want to ask him "did you even bother to read my profile?" Another of my favorites is when I get a message from someone in Madagascar or Russia who wants to be my lover. When the hell am I ever going to get to either place????

Anyway, I just shrug it off, act polite but disinterested, hit the ignore button, and chalk it up to the cost of doing business online.

For most people, the purpose of online profiles is to meet people, whether they be friends, lovers, a quick fuck, etc. In that regard, profiles are like resumes. One should put ones best foot forward and make the best impression one can. You only have a few seconds to impress someone.

If that's not why you're there, do us all a favor and resort to the "I'm a mean, bitter person" line and don't waste your time or ours.
