I'm sorry, but I cannot agree. I think it depends very much upon the people involved and the dynamic among them. But then I'm a GWAR fan and they are only the most offensively humorous band, pretty much ever. The are the roasters of sacred cows, and I love it. Nothing is off limits. You either get the joke, horrible as it is, or you can't appreciate what they're doing. And so, among very many of the GWAR fan friends I have, we sling affectionate insults at one another ALL THE TIME. The kind of awful jokes that most people would be shocked and disgusted by, blended with highbrow references and satire, is very common. No one gets hurt because we all know it's jest. The situational context is there.
Bottom line is, some people can handle snark and some can't. I personally LOVE IT. Not just dishing but receiving. The sharper the better. As long as we all know where we really stand.
The man I'm seeing, after our first time in bed, he clutched me and said "I own you now." He likes to make creepy/scary remarks to push my comfort zones and test my boundaries, to see if I'll easily get spooked by his quirks or accept his humor...in a sense, if my skin is thick enough to deal with him. I think it is. I found that particular exchange (there was more to it) a mix of hot and hilarious. He can be very snarky, and I love it when he does that.
So sure, OK, snark can have some malicious tones, but the fun in it is when people know it's not for real...it's clever play. Either you like it or you don't. *shrug*
Yes. 30 year anniversary this year, they still tour all the time, record all the time, now have a bar in Richmond and an annual festival there. Totally still a thing.
Though it isn't the same without Dave. Still...they are keeping on as they can.
Remember, when it comes to dating, you're profile is only as good as who decides to accept it. You have a husband that accepted what was in your profile, but I've read plenty of profiles that went from really good and well written to "Just Ask".
Admittedly, I do get a chuckle out of the profiles that eventually devolve from "Just ask" into a death spiral that consists of "GOING TO DELETE THIS PROFILE SOON!!!111!!" that typically are posted by "christian" divorced mothers showing lots of skin on their profile pics. I'd imagine--to my detriment, naturally--that after the umpteenth go at this drill (aka insanity), the light would eventually come on to where that christian guy such a person is seeking just isn't coming around.
Water does seeks its lowest level. Sometimes, it's lower for some than others.

However, I don't think actual demonstrated sarcasm conveys well in single one-time-doses like personal ads.
I am pretty sure I misinterpreted this (Pretty please? I hope?), but urging the significant other to earn a fist to the face by running his/her mouth a bit too much sounds pretty counterproductive.

I think everyone makes a sarcastic comment here and there, but for someone to put that right in their profile is a good way to filter them out. It would be a turn-off because I don't care for abrasive personalities who claim humour as a way to excuse or minimize the rudeness they don't hesitate to display at every turn.
True enough. There is no good way to paint sarcasm. Even the Bible says that much, which is eyebrow raising when I see allegedly christian women proclaim their zest for sarcasm. I expect that out of your average rare woman who has to resort to OLD because the guys around her didn't find her overly desirable, but it's still alarming.
EPH 4:29 Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.
EPH 5:4 Let there be no filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude joking, which are out of place, but instead let there be thanksgiving.
MAT 5:37 Let what you say be simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything more than this comes from evil.
