LookAtThisPOst Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Just is juicy, Just saw a dating profile of a woman who had a man write her profile for her. He said something like, "I'm her best guy friend and helping her find her a good man. We've met on POF 6 years ago and have become good friends since then...and she can't seem to find a quality guy. So, under the guise of alcohol (there's the flag!, lol) I decided to help her with her dating profile. So here I am imagining her FWB partner right by her side at the computer, writing up a profile. The whole profile is written from the perspective of her male BFF or (FWB?) lol Guessing that's his game? lol 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I don't drink at all but I'll sometimes throw in a stupid thing about just having had a shot of something ... or whatever! I have never had a fwb or anything even similar. I have good male friends who could probably write a profile for me, and I have male friends that I could do the same for. If you don't know what it's like to have that kind of friendship then don't just assume the worst about everybody. WTF man?? You have such limited experience with women and your attitude does NOT endear you to anyone. Instead of learning, you criticise. This is soooooo boring already. You can "lol" or all you like, but I'm telling you, all that comes through is :mad: It's unappealing. 6 Link to post Share on other sites

Toodaloo Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Yes I would let someone else write my profile and I have in the past... Its the whole point on sites like "Mysinglefriend" etc... I see nothing wrong with it. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Dude, I really think you should step away from that computer screen for a bit and do something to keep you away from extrapolating on people's profiles on OLD based on nothing. 5 Link to post Share on other sites

Its the whole point on sites like "Mysinglefriend" etc... I see nothing wrong with it. Hm, to me it means laziness...but hey, that's me. Maybe I'm the minority in this. But the least they could do is make it less obvious and if another person is going to write your profile, don't write it from the perspective of the friend. At least that way, it's not obvious someone else had written it and...don't announce in the beginning that it's being done by the friend. Dude, I really think you should step away from that computer screen for a bit and do something to keep you away from extrapolating on people's profiles on OLD based on nothing. Other people do it here, too. With the recent, "What someone says in a profile" post. Edited June 21, 2016 by LookAtThisPOst Link to post Share on other sites
xxoo Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Hm, to me it means laziness...but hey, that's me. Maybe I'm the minority in this. Probably. To me it just says they're being silly and she doesn't take this OLD thing so seriously. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

You'd let someone ELSE write your profile FOR you? Seriously? What are they...you're father? Are you their mother? Adding an LOL doesn't make you funny. I don't see you getting dates so you might want to look at alternatives. What's the difference between a friend introducing you to someone who they think might be a good match for you, and a friend doing a profile for you? Who better than a friend to sing your praises? I swear if a woman fell into your lap, you'd complain ... Why did you fall so hard. Ouch you hurt my legs. Do you just go around falling into men's laps? STD alert!!! If you don't get it, move past it! You're looking for people to judge these perfectly fine women with you, why? And BTW, you're always complaining about how things were so much better during WW2 and in your parents' days ( not sure how you know what it was like but anyway) so maybe get YOUR parents to write your profile or choose a woman for you. Can't lose, can you? Then you'll have nothing more to complain about. Edited June 21, 2016 by scorpiogirl 4 Link to post Share on other sites
TooLegitToQuit Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 I must admit, it is threads like these on here that I still am having trouble wrapping my head around Well OP, look at it this way: It's clear this woman has a really close guy friend. You would rather not date someone who has such a close guy friend. That's perfectly fine on your part. So pass. I'm confused why you feel the need to spend the time to write a thread on her though. How is it going to get you any closer to meet the one who is right for you? 4 Link to post Share on other sites
Haydn Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 I helped a good friend write a profile once. It was quite good fun. I think another perspective was appreciated. She met a bloke called Danny and they have been married for 4 years now and have a 2 year old. We quite often joke that i should be married to Danny really.... (He`s a cracking cook) 7 Link to post Share on other sites

TooLegitToQuit Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Anyway, if they've been close friends for 6 years, I'm not seeing how him writing her profile could be "his game". Meanwhile, an observation for you: If there is anything women hate, it's being nitpicked and judged. It's why you are getting a lot of venom in the women's responses in this thread. And if you are like this in real life, dating is probably a difficulty. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Toodaloo Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Probably. To me it just says they're being silly and she doesn't take this OLD thing so seriously. Or she lacks confidence to write her own, or she is rubbish at marketing, or that she really has no clue what to say, or that she wants to stand out and everyone else writes their own so why not change it up... Personally I think its a good thing not to take OLD too seriously... Otherwise you end up with threads several pages long based on not very much at all... 2 Link to post Share on other sites
GunslingerRoland Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Lets take some odds on their friendship. 50% - They still have sex sometimes and will continue to after you start dating her. 45% - He wishes he was dating her and is in the ultimate friendzone hell. 5% - They have a healthy platonic relationship. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
scorpiogirl Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Other people do it here, too. With the recent, "What someone says in a profile" post. And these two had had some interaction. This lady didn't just pick a random profile to tear apart. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

You can "lol" or all you like, but I'm telling you, all that comes through is :mad: It's unappealing. It's understandable. All loses and no victories can do this to people. Constant rejection and disappointments for years can take their toll on the psyche. Look is going to continue with this mindset until he either 1) finds a woman who likes him without Look changing, 2) improves himself physically and mentally so that rejection isn't an issue anymore or 3) gives up dating completely. Perhaps Look should join a group that vents about being unlucky in love. Maybe he might find solace with those who have equally negative experiences. They could help and support each other. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

The whole profile is written from the perspective of her male BFF or (FWB?) lol Guessing that's his game? lol Ehhh. I've seen profiles of people written by their friends because the person was reluctant to do OLD but their friends were less so and wanted to help the person out. I've met women on OLD who I've become platonic friends with so this doesn't seem so odd to me. If you're that worried about the male/female dynamic, why not just ignore the profile? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
