That ^^^^ is arrogance, thinking that you have all the answers for what women include in their profiles. It's an ego/power trip to send sarcastic messages to women online.

Think about it. You are a complete stranger, and you blast some woman's profile online. Who are you that she needs to listen to your crap? How do you think you are being perceived, do you even care how you're perceived, are you even aware of how you're perceived, may be the better question...

But...these women don't even know you. Why would responding to you be a priority? Presumably when you are dating someone you like them and want to talk to them/see them. Your logic doesn't really fly. And I agree with the poster above, your "2 day" rule is arbitrary--I'm sure not everyone got the memo that they should be at the beck and call of everyone who sends an email.

So that makes you a liar. Or some dude that was going to cheat on his girlfriend. Or some dude that is just bored and messing around. Or some guy that easily falls for females and will cheat if given the opportunity. Or some dude that likes to keep a bunch of females as friends for backup plans.


Hey at least you are not rude on the follow up. Tip: Humor can be taken the wrong way in writing. You don't get the tone of it and you don't know if its something that is going to offend the person.
When women tell a guy that asks them out that she has a boyfriend or isn't interested in a relationship right now, is that a lie? Is that nutty? I doubt there's anyone in the world who gives the 100% real reason why they're turning someone down. Can you honestly tell me you do? How is my last email so much worse than that?

I didn't just send a single email and then send the second one a couple days later. We exchanged a couple emails between the two of us. I guess that may not have been clarified.

I've never cheated on a girl.

I don't put girls on backburners.

I wasn't really rude on the first email to this girl either. I actually just emailed her about her weekend and that I noticed we work in similar industries. This girl wasn't a "sarcastic email girl". I really only do that to the weirdo girls. If I read a profile and they seem nice I'll usually be respectful, but I have to be semi sarcastic or else they'll lump you in "nice guy" group and not respond.

I really wish it wasn't this way, but it is. I've done this long enough to know what works. If you want responses, this is the way to go. You can show them how nice you are in the second email or on the first date.

Well, if you get to say things like "I'm awesome" and "I only date guys with nice cars" then I think it's fair I get to say something about it. Freedom of speech. If you don't want people to say you sound like jerk in your profile, don't sound like one. Everyone is thinking it, I just happen to say it and it helps them see that it's a bad idea. Many of them have thanked me for it later. I'm glad to help.

Personal attacks are unacceptable, folks. When a thread deteriorates into bickering and personal attacks, we've got to close it.
