More men who don't read profiles

Had a date this afternoon with a guy I met through Lavalife. My profile there specifically states I'm waiting for marriage to have sex - my match.com profile doesn't - I figured I'd see how each worked out and adjust the other one accordingly.

Anyway, I'd talked to him a few times online and while he didn't seem much my type, when he suggested coffee, I thought, why not? The date itself wasn't that great, we really didn't have much in common and he didn't seem nearly educated as his profile implied.

Even so, I was rather irritated when I got home and had the following email from him -

"just read ur entire ad. you *non-TOS approved word* prude why u waste my time?!?!?"

Well, gee, most people read the ENTRE profile before they ask someone out. Moron.

Oh lawd. Take that with a grain of salt! Puh-lease. He's an idiot.


And just so you know, rare is the man that will read your profile fully! ;o)

Honestly, the nerve of some people! By not reading your full profile until after meeting in person... isn't HE the one who wasted YOUR time? And if it was me, I'd tell him so. Not that he'll bother reading it......

what a jerk! how stupid is he, if he asked you out he should have read your profile completely. thats bull. ive had guys that have kind of done that, i hate it. i specifically mention things i dont want in a guy and i still get guys with those things. its like they see my picture and say ok, cool. do you have a picture on your by any chance? that could be the reason. but either way, these guys exist. and i agree grain of salt but i also agree nasty email, lol. but thats the devil in me coming out because the sex issue is a very strong one with me also. either way, dont let it get to you!

I don't have a picture up, but I do have a backstage. I mean, I understand that men aren't going to read profiles initially, but you'd think that if it got to the point of meeting, that they would. :-)

Anyway, he's not worth my time responding to, although it's soooo tempting.
