Boy, we sure can tell that you AREN'T the sensitive type! And, if I was single, of which I'm sure glad I'm NOT, I'd say "No swearing!" (especially what you wrote). Doesn't show a lot of maturity to me! You've got some hangups as well girl........better look at them before bashing the men!!

Oh and a guy taking a picture of himself in front of a mirror with cellphone is not attractive at all. Another turn-off for me too.

It's hard to be "an adult man in a normal relationship" when your cohort is mental...

I'm sorry that you're looking for Thor the God Of Thunder, y'know the cat with the beard and the big 'hammer', but wake up...men and women have been hurt and even abused in relationships since time began, and what's more, they have a RIGHT to want to avoid said drama and abuse going forward...it's not whining, as you put it in your macho-chick world, it's called FEELINGS, and last time I looked adults were allowed to have those...ain't seen a law against it yet, and if there is, it's bulls**t...

Seriously OMFG, smell the coffee, I get so daggone sick and bloody tired of people with this stop whining crap...quit reading all this macho horsedung and realize that just because a man says he doesn't want drama or games, that doesn't mean his man-card should be pulled---he's saying he's not taking any s**t from the next woman he's involved with, and he wants to enter that situation with an open heart and a clean slate...same as when a woman says that about the next man she's looking for---it's the same across the board, and folk have a right to seek that...

No whining or growing of hackysacks involved...it's just human nature, and everybody does it, and not just on internet dating sites either...if it bugs you THAT MUCH, then it's simple---just avoid those profiles, or avoid dealing with those people in real life

You're entitled to your feelings, but you don't need to broadcast them. Everyone's been burned at one time or another. The trick is not to put it on display for everyone else to see. If you've been cheated on or used, sorry. But why tell your reader "NO CHEATERS!"? Isn't that kind of a given? Give your reader some credit. Most people will assume that you don't want someone who cheats. You shouldn't have to spell it out.

Sometimes you need to broadcast your feelings. Sometimes you need to vent. Sometimes you need to let the *******s know that you won't tolerate another abuser, user, liar, serial dater, manipulater, stupidficial moron like the ones who infest the singles dating world.

What's comical is that it does no good to post that you aren't looking for any drama and games, because those who do play games often won't admit it, or even care. It's funny because I can't count how many times you hear someone say they don't want any drama in their lives, yet they invite it at every opportunity by surrounding themselves with sketchy people and poor life choices.

Problem is, just like in your rant above....you can come across like you angry and have indeed been screwed over. Everyone has been screwed over in the past, but you dont want to actually appear like you arent over it, no one wants to date a person with that type of baggage.

Well if you stay, you must be getting something beneficial out of it. Since, you know, you choose to remain involved with them
