Bear411 profile quote: "Don't bother writing if your going to call me boy, boi, pup, son, and kiddo. Newly added word I hate is sport."

OK, how about "asshole?"

Another Bear411 profile quote: "Not looking to meet any one for sex I have someone for that and alot more. His profile on here is XXXXX, Come on guys show a little respect. Taken means NOT LOOKING for any thing more than friends."

In what sense is it "disrespectful" to hit upon someone who has his profile posted on a hook-up site? What am I not getting here?

I have to say...if someone is posting a quote like the second one, I take it as the fact that they've already mentioned they're looking for friends only, not just a hook up, and people keep overlooking that. For me personally, it does get a little annoying when my profile says I'm looking for friends and I'm constantly getting woofed at. I mean, yes, the ego is fed and all, but when nothing else is said but, "hey, do you guys play?" you have to try a more direct tact. I mean, there's a reason 411 has a setting that says, "Just Friends". Some people just don't respect that.

True...but then.....

there are "JUST FRIENDS" profiles with nudes and penis shots.....Does that mean they want me to be "just friends" with their penis?? (evil grin)....

And I think that's a whole other story...I actually take mild offense to that kind of profile, because it sends the wrong message. My profile has pics of me, with clothes (LOL), and a pic of my partner. I'll be honest...I use the site to talk to pals on my buddy list, and to look at pics of hot guys. But I don't chat up anyone based on their hotness...if something they say in their profile triggers a response in me, I'll say hello. Not woof, but hello, and go from there. I don't mind someone saying hello because they think I'm attractive, but when they push the "I want to have sex with you" angle, it's annoying, and tells me they didn't bother to read the profile. Which usually tells me it's a waste of my time to respond with more than a polite, "Thanks."

The "I want to have sex" angle is especially problematcc when he's in Italy or Brazil, and I'm in Utah. If you've invented a transporter, feel free to beam over, otherwise... send me a plane ticket! hehe!

One of 411's problems is that the settings seem only to be displayed on the list page, and not on the profile detail pages. If, as I did, you go to the profile page via a link, you will never see the preference of the poser.

So I don't know if these particular profiles have any setting at all.
