ORIGINAL: GreedyTop I admit I keep getting cmails from random guys telling me that I need to get anger management classes. Does my profile really broadcast that kind of vibe??? I may see what they're getting at. Your profile heading and narrative revolves completely around who you are not, and what you will not do or accept, instead of saying who you are, and what you want and will accept. Using the negative may be interpreted by some as anger. I interpret it as such. Well, since, as my profile says, I AM NOT LOOKING, the "what you want and will accept" shit is moot, isn't it? Not at all. One can just as easily do the positive route, i.e., "I'm on this site for this reason, and this reason alone, so I would appreciate contact me only within these parameters. Large caps emphasied by exclamation points is interpreted by most as yelling. And although your narrative is not lengthy, it contains ten negatives, and that's not even counting your heading. Greedy, you asked, so I answered honestly. You say men are responding to you by suggesting anger management classes, so it's not only my perception. If you didn't want honest answers, especially those that do not align with your perception of yourself, then why did you ask? Most folks don't realize that others commonly perceive/receive them quite differently than one perceives themselves. My response to your inquiry was to be informative, not hurtful. Whether I am right or wrong, in the grand scheme of things, matters not. I merely gave you what you asked for....a personal opinion. What you do or don't do with it is entirely up to you.
