I have noticed an increasing number of 'angry profile', basically profiles written in an aggresive or angry way.I realise that people need to put accross there preferances and some people dont read them (which can lead to frustration) but there are ways of doing it that dont require BLOCK CAPITALS and aggresive texts. Is this a new thing or has it been around for a while. |

I can see how people do get frustrated on here by people not reading profiles ,the wrong type of person getting in touch,the one line messages
I have myself but soon got over it
Changing my profile to a shouty one won't make any difference,the people that you're aiming the anger at won't read the profile anyway |

i have to say that i have come across some profiles tht seem full of negatives and it does put me off.
However, from the other side i have often been tempted to re write my profile with a few negativesto steer guys in the proper ettiquette of talking to people
- dont just ask request cam without saying hi, its just rude
- if i say no i mean no, not beg me and harrass me till i say yes
but then i would be a hypocryte so i suffer in silence  |

What winds me up is reading a masive profile with all sorts of conditions. I get to the end and I think I am suitable (ie thereare a few people looking for singles), mail nicely (with face pics) and still don't get a f**kin reply! |

It's frustration because some people just don't read profiles properly, but as it say's on our profile if they send us a message then we will always reply and some times it is not what they want to hear.  |

People certainly don't need to shout 'NO SINGLE GUYS EVER' etc. There is a button to block single guys contacting.
I sometimes think some people don't use this so they can moan and berate them when guys do contact. |

I think if anything, someone who writes NO SINGLE GUYS EVER, NO ONE OVER/UNDER 30 WHATSOEVER, NO SMOKERS BECAUSE I WANT TO SHOOT THEM ALL WITH A GREAT BIG MISSILE, etc is more likely to get loads of replies from the wind up merchants on this site. Some idiots exist on this site with the sad intention of just pissing people off and writing your frustrations such as this would probably make you a target for these clowns |

One man's shout is another man's emphasis!
I'm only seeking STRAIGHT, SINGLE, SUB, WHITE men OVER 45. Some might think that's shouting and aggressive I see it as emphasising the playmate I'm looking for!
Granted I still get messages from bi, married, Dom, non white guys so it could be as someone else wrote: wind up! |

I think what the OP is getting at is not so much emphasis, but more the "IF BLA BLA BLA CONTACTS ME YOU WILL NOT GET A REPLY, YOUR MESSAGE WILL BE DELETED AND YOU WILL BE BLOCKED!!!!!"
or
"CAN SINGLE GUYS NOT READ ?, ....."
and all the rest of the similar lines that we see in profiles. I'm not sure that I could class that as 'emphasis' in fact it's more of a threat than anything else.
Sometimes makes you wonder if the profile holder is equally as stroppy and intimidating in normal life  |

Not sure its profiles that are aggressive but if they are why comment on it in an aggressive way as you have on this thread? Is this down to you feeling aggressive about others profiles or maybe you need a little attention lol |

I think its a vicious circle...
People get lots of messages from folk that are clearly not what they are looking for and have not read the profile, so they start emphasisiing a few words in CAPS etc to get a point across.
Maybe that atracts the wind up merchants to message and so they then make more and more of their profile into 'an angry profile' as the OP describes.
As many say.... best avoided in my opinion.

I understand at times it can get frustrating, much like life, but do those that have angry profiles not realise their profile is what creates first impressions.
They must put off some potential meets, meets they would have been happy to have arranged. |

i noticed this a while ago and said so in the forums , to me i odnt see a need for it , if your too aggressive surely people are going to think do i really want to play with them or him/her ?? but then again suppose you got to make it perfectly clear what your looking for , just wish it could be done in a less aggressive manner just my thoughts on it |

Yep, there are some scary sounding people about, and we would avoid them.
On a different subject, Mr Lick 77, I thought your pic when I first glanced at is was you sat with your legs open with a very knobbly half blue cock
I have now looked closer and realised what it is, and have just made an appointment for the opticians |

What I don't understand is this.
There are some really mouthy profiles here typed in BLOCK which are construed as either agressive, angry or whatever and still remain after many months.
I left the site after nearly 2 years and returned with a new profile, slightly tongue in cheek and possibly a bit on the cheeky side, but hell thats my nature
THe MODS deleted it and told me to re-write my profile or be barrd from the site.

Unfortunately there is no other way to emphasise a point on your profile other than by using capitals which is a shame
So you end up going from normal sounding to psychotic sounding at the touch of a button

At first I didn't see the half blue cock link, but then I squinted a tad (like viewing one of those magic eye pictures - wonder what happened to them?) and bingo! the image popped up straight away. You could almost have believed one of my parents was a smurf...

THE STICKS |
I had an on and off conversation with a very attractive young single female who had a very shouty profile.
After I first messaged her she replied to say that altho I sounded like I was up her street she wasnt looking for single guys at that time, but to drop her a line in maybe a month or so.
This continued for a few months, until one day, 6 weeks or so after we had last spoken, I dropped her a message with a headline which in hindsight was perhaps a little ill advised:
"Its That Time Of The Month Again".....began my message.

These angry profiles have given me an idea, some things in life can be really frustrating, like, when getting off a train and everyone waiting to get on is standing in front of you, no room to get by, and all staring, waiting for you to get off. I'm thinking, a Tshirt with the words GET OUT OF MY WAY, I CAN'T GET BY YOU, IF YOU MOVE TO ONE SIDE, I CAN GET OFF, THEN YOU CAN GET ON. WHAT IS IT WITH SOME PEOPLE.
or, when in a rush, all the little old dears come out on that day just to get in your way. a Tshirt saying... GET OUT OF MY WAY, DON'T WASTE MY TIME, I'M IN A RUSH, FFS READ MY TSHIRT.
Think it's catch on?. |

Its frustration and fed up attitude.
I registered in October and it clearly, i thought, stated that i dont do younger vs older and only do couples so why did I get contacted constantly by the very people i dont want?? Because people dont read profiles and they arrogantly believe that they can change my mind, oh yes and cos they are desperate for a shag so i had to change it, and put some in capitals so they can read it and take notice, still hasnt 100% worked but i guess i shall have to put up with 50% |

I was going to say a repeated thread on this one but you put it first.
Well caps in a profile dosnt mean the person is shouting. You cant underline or do bold on fab so caps is a way to make things stand out.
If you dont like a profile you dont have to look at it. Not hard is it. |

"It is generally taken that caps in cyber talk (whether on e-mails or on things like profiles) is shouting."
This is true, but on a site like here, where we are restricted with type, I'm not sure it should always stand as so.
Before the site changed, we had lot's of colour, some bold and a few underlined comments etc etc, but now, the best we can do to make something stand out is words in caps.
If for example it says, SORRY, NO SINGLE MALES. then that is ok to me.
if however it says.....
NO WINKS, YOU WILL BE BLOCKED. or the like, then I would take this as shouting. |

Problem is, it does seem rather aggressive if I'm honest, and that in itself could put off any potential meets, I imagine every couple will get messages much like yourselves, where your profile hasn't been read properly, I know we do, quite a lot, and all we have on our profile other than two pics is that we are not seeking anything right now. trouble is, it's how we deal with it all, many a potential meet could well be put off from contacting you, so in the end, you don't help yourself, but shoot yourself in the foot.
Just trying to help.  |

Lol, remins me of a couple I unfortunately bumped into on a Friday night at Chams. I was on my way to the conservatory ("smoking deck"/"most sociable area") when there was this couple sat on the seats at top of the stairs.
Barely stopping I smiled to say "Hey guys, how you doing, hope you're enjoying your night" when the male half barked "LEAVE US ALONE, WE DON'T WANT SINGLE MEN - WHY DON'T PEOPLE READ OUR PROFILE?"
This made me wonder, did they think they were so popular that anyone and everyone had seen their profile on whatever site they may have been on, or was it my mistake I couldn't read their profile written in invisible ink on their faces with "No Single Men" on it.
And then there's the rudeness and their attitude - and on a Friday n ight at Chams for that matter! |

Of course you could always look at angry/shouting/aggressive profiles from a positive perspective.
If you are put off by angry/shouting/aggressive profiles (which implies you don’t think the type of people who write angry/shouting/aggressive profiles are your type)… surely it is a good thing that they have written one, so you can easily spot them as being the angry/shouting/aggressive profile type and avoid them … after only having to glance at their profile.
After all, if they hadn’t written an angry/shouting/aggressive profile you might not find out that they are the angry/shouting/aggressive profile type until it’s too late and they’ve written you an angry/shouting/aggressive verification |

"why is there so much fuss over this.if we get a message ha ha ha,outwith our preferences.we just delete,its so simple.it definately doesnt upset us."
Threads like this are quite good, IMO.
Reason being, people can sometimes act on impulse, or with a knee jerk reaction, threads like this help people to express their views, and help others to see views expressed.
It can be real helpful to some.
This thread highlights that aggressive style profiles may lose you some potential meets, rather than stop those you don't want from contacting you. |
