So you admit you are a person who messages people with no other intent but to cause them emotional pain? Wow, just wow.
Some people deserve to be mocked. Wow, just wow.

No - no one deserves to be mocked and attacked for no reason other than to feed your desire to get a reaction. It takes a low kind of person to go around contacting people with no motivation other than to mock and demean them. Your true colors are showing and they are not pretty.

Then explain to me how someone posting that gets them the result that they really want. A nice person.

^^^This.

I think that some who post the "don't message me if" comments are truly trying to filter out what they don't want in their lives. However, i also think that some of the ones reading feel the need to message because "no one is going to tell me who I can or cannot message", or take a jab at them for having preferences, because they fall into that person's category of non-desirable qualities.

Again my point is not that it does "get them the result that they want".

I have explained more than once now that I am commenting on why they might do it - not whether it works or not.

I once saw a chick that said if you weren't going to take her to the most expensive sushi restuarant in town for the first date, you shouldn't contact her. If she doesn't deserve a little mocking, I don't know who does.

Your true colors about sleeping around then going back to a guy that loves you were shown all over the "break" thread.

Why they might do it is what I'm explaining. To weed out the bad people. In return, it weeds out the good. I'm explaining what you said and then the likely result.

I would probably take her to the sushi place just to see whether she even knew how to eat it. And when she asks the chef to give her extra soy sauce I would savor the embarrassment. (Assuming this is a proper Japanese place of course.)

I do not know who does either - because no one does. The idea of contacting someone with the sole intention of mocking or demeaning them says nothing about them - and everything about you.

So I have to stick to one thread at a time - but you do not? I see you like one rule for you and one rule for everyont else then.

I do not think it would weed out the good - but even if it does my point remains the same and unchanged.

(ie: the two highlighted words in blue)

I have never been on, seen or used a dating site since I have always dated the old fashioned way, we met in real life.
IF I were to use such a site I would pass right over any profile that used the two words I have highlighted below, thinks the "Friends with benefits" movie is real, that men and women cannot be just friends with no sexual intentions involved or describes themselves as intriguing or a hopeful romantic.
I've come across maybe three profiles that used "ery" at the end of a few words. It is hardly a "cool" or trendy thing, and those of my ilk get it. I also use "f*cking" a couple other times in my profile, and guess what, it has never, not even in the slightest, affected my "success."

I'm a writer. I love words, all sorts of words, to include expletives. The kind of people I associate with also make use of colorful language as well, or they're not overly sensitive about it.

And where did I say the above movie is "real"? Where did I say men and women can't be "platonic" friends? I said I'm not looking for "friends."
