#1 wants no baggage, sounds like she has plenty of her own.

Neither one floats my boat and wouldn't contact either. Too half glass empty. But prefer #2 over #1 if I had to say one over the other.

#2 sounds much like what I what my vision of an online dating profile would normally be. Men do send those messages like Hi, and thats it. or have no picture. It is actually easier to post what you don't want rather than what you do want. Otherwise you end up with hundreds of messages contaniing one word or attract players.

But here's the problem. You DO post what you don't want and they STILL contact you.

I have found that, very often, people who appear to be unavailable, like these posters, are actually very available for a little while, but then run off later. I think the posts are actually a warning about this behavior. But some are attracted anyway.

They sound like two women who have been in the online dating world too long, have become angry and jaded, and would do better to back away from the computer for a while.

I know, that is why I will always be against online dating. Maybe a profile that simply states in one sentence - "Don't try to screw with me. I'm done playing" would keep the simpletons away. That is alot of reading.

I'll bet both of them think they are "all of that" too.............thry think what they are doing is cute and attractive.


But those are just 2 out of dozens that I read like that. Yeah stuff happens but man, let it go or at least keep it to yourself.

I don't see how they would get a date. My bet is guys are just looking at the photo anyway and just trying to "score". Maybe they've been scored on too much.....
