Since we're discussing online dating so much today, I thought I'd ask. When I was OLD, I saw this statement over and over in men's profile. One guy even said, "I don't have a lot of time for stupidity".

What?

What does that even mean? Please explain.

He will split at the first hint of any trouble without taking any responsibility especially if he caused it.

Getting overly emotional about nothing significant. Desire to be controlling. Jealousy. Infidelity.

These are the sort of things I associate with drama and relationships.

Read through the threads here that has you and everyone shaking their head and wondering why whatever question had to be asked.

That is what "No Drama" means

I don't ask for "drama free" women in my profile, because a woman who has there life relatively straightened out will not have any unnecessary problems that can't be handled themselves.

IMO, I think drama is defined by the individual, but here's some things that my be considered drama that myself or other men may define as such:

Kids. This might be a hot button for people in general, and you can specifically mention that you are not looking to date single mothers in your profile, but having kids can create unnecessary drama if you have a father who creates a lot of turmoil and issues between the woman and child. Also, the guy may just not like children, or not want to be around children than isn't his.

Not having a car, or can't drive. Probably applies to people who don't live where taxi services are easy to find, not owning a car or not having the ability to drive in an area where you have to have transportation of your own can create unnecessary problems.

Lots of debt or doesn't have a job. Sometimes these are tied together, the person can't or won't find a job to pay his or her own bills while also having some kind of debt that you cannot pay off, like a student loan or medical bills. Living paycheck to paycheck is one thing, it's a completely different problem when you have no money coming in while money constantly has to go out.

literally creating drama out of seemingly nothing. Like you have to argue over every little thing for the sake of arguing, or if you aren't arguing, it's like you're looking around for something to fight over. Why did you get Wonder Bread when you should have bought Kroger brand? Why were you looking at that girl who was walking by(when she was directly in your line of sight)? Why did you put the TP on the roller like this when it should have been the other way around? There are people who are exactly like this, and a very exhausting person to be around.

Hating your family. It's one thing to have that family member that you simply can't be around very long without wanting to strangle him. It's another when you have a few experiences with a couple members of your family, and then saying that you can't stand being around them. That's actually a lot of drama that you have to work around, and most likely this person probably isn't worth all of those issues that this creates.

These are just a few that comes to my mind, and not all of them apply to me, and they do apply to both genders.

Well, it's so vague, and thought it could mean anything. It certainly caused me not to write to them. Scary.

That means he will not put up with your crap.

Ex-boyfriend issues
Emotional instability
Disrespect
Tempers
Head games

No drama...means....No Bullsh*t.

If that statement scares you away then you are going to have a very difficult time meeting a high quality man because this is their #1 requirement.

I think they should spell it out.

I don't know why that has to be said anyway. Who wants to put up with things they dont like? It just sounds so bitter.
