Have you ever had a job where the manager would send out generalized missives about expected behavior, etc. but it was really for very specific people, and those people would NEVER see themselves as needing to fix said behavior problem? Yeah. This is like that. You are not going to get through to your intended audience on SLS. Ever.
Had one tell us this week when asked if he read our profile, "Naw, I can't read all of that. That's not how I know people."
People have dating app expectations that aren't realistic. They want effort put into them up front, that isn't really how things work because dating apps are a low success rate proposition.
Let's say I'm going to look through 100 profiles. Reading every profile is going to be a waste of time. Why? Because most the feeler messages I'd send out aren't going to be reciprocated no matter how evident my interest or reading of the profile was. It's all a numbers game.
You said, "READ OUR FUCKING PROFILE" twice. All caps implies shouting. Which seems a little angry.
Bottom line, the people (guys) you want to reach are not reading the forums. They're spamming every couple with the same annoying message.
FTR, we'd also like people to read our profile, even more so now. So I get it. Really, who doesn't? But that has happens like maybe 5 percent in all our 17 years here.
Absolutely not upset. Aggravated a little? Yes. Just hoping it will, maybe, make singles (especially) think before initiating contact. I do see where singles are looking for advice and, although I certainty can't speak for all couples here, I hope that this will give them some insight as to what we expect. And I know we are not the only couples who expect these requirements upon initiation.
This is the same argument as expecting a reply when a message is sent.
Should people read your profile? Absolutely. Will most people? No. Should people reply to messages? Yeah. Will most people? Nope. Nothing you can do to change either. So why get upset?
Expecting singles and couples to adhere to our requirements before initiating contact? Yes, indeed.
You're expecting a lot. Couples don't read either. Just delete and move on.
LOL, if they can't take the time to read our long ass profile and then not initiating in kind, then they should expect to be rejected :D
LOL, no chance they gonna read all of your profile. It is what it is
Hey, I tried typing out a well thought out and humble post but SLS wouldn't let me post because of "special" characters so I'm gonna KISS.
Can't speak for all the other couples here, of course, but for us, speaking directly to you single guys, READ OUR FUCKING PROFILE before sending us a message. For us, be polite, respectful and, oh yeah, READ OUR FUCKING PROFILE instead of just looking at our pics. There are couples here who will fuck anyone/anything and that's great. But we are more selective, expect a certain level of maturity from singles or couples. We enjoy threesomes from time to time but, damn, single guys, have some substance instead of acting like a horny 14 year old boy who has never had a piece. The reason for this post is because of the many fucked up "invitations" from single guys we've already had this month...yeah, in just the past two days. Here's the latest one from today...
