I read a female profile and she's ALL UP IN THE AIR about NO MEN, etc. Okay...I can understand that if a male makes...or wants to make...a "sexually oriented" comment and the female is not receptive to that kind of comment.
There are times I've seen something in a profile that I would like to comment on, or have a private communication about, but wonder if the female would be offended. YES...this is a "sex" site, but there's things in life to be shared other than sex.
What say ye ladies? Am I wanting to be too much a gentleman?
SPRITE...you wrote on the above referred thread: ok, the other possibility (and i'm not discounting the OPs first assumption, i think there's truth in it) is that the whole 'no men' thing is a knee jerk reaction after getting bombarded with horny, bored, pushy, rude guys. while i am not at all about the whole 'no men' thing, i did recently change my sexual preference from bi to lesbian, so that the guys who don't know me, those few who take the time to read bios, won't hit on me. it gets OLD after a while being in chat rooms and just getting random 'want to cyber?' from guys based in nothing more then my gender.
I understand the last sentence...and agree with you. However, what about "something" in a profile that is TOTALLY NON SEXUAL that gets my attention...Do I DARE respond? That is the gist of my question.
As long as you're wanting to go about it as a gentleman, and act accordingly, you won't have a problem. Yes, you'll be missing out on the "please no men!" crowd, but they're either men-disguised-as-lesbians, or girls that come here for super-fun profile-posting girlie time, or shellshocked by having been bombarded with creep message bukkake. For varying reasons, you want no part of any of these types anyway, so consider it their loss.
The reasonable and reasonably friendly among us will have no problem engaging other reasonable people in any manner of dialogue.
I am not a "no men girl" either, I just have rules. I will be receptive to anyone if they are respectful to me. But I do get very annoyed when I get "Bukkaked" by men I have never had any contact with that either want me to add them or cyber with them. I have made it crystal clear in my profile that I will not friend anyone, Male or Female, if I have not had any previous contact. I do not think that is unreasonable.
The key word is Respect!!! Show it and who knows.......................................!!
Personally I think some ladies on here are a bit uptight. But as too your question: I don't see anything wrong with sending a polite message (don't poke or use the little black message boxes) acknowledge that she has expressed no interest in talking with men, let her know that you are interested in a non-sexual conversation on xyz topic (be specific, even quoting her profile page), then close by saying you respect her boundaries but you are available to chat. If shr responds rudely well she's a bitch or a dude. If she doesn't respond, don't bother her again.
