Yeah.

So, I've been clicking through this "QuickMatch" nonsense, and I'm noticing something... a truly disturbing number of men feel the need to specify in their profiles that they are nice to women, respect women, see women as people, etc. etc. etc.

Well, let's just give you a fuckin' medal, then! Wow! You're nice to a category of people that includes half the planet! You think of human beings as - GASP! - human beings, even though they were born with vaginas! TRULY, SIR, YOU ARE THE MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. OF TITS.

Here's the thing. If you have to go out of your way to stress that hey, look how respectful/tolerant/nice you are... you aren't. You are, in fact, part of the problem. If every other paragraph in my profile was about how much I like and respect black people, how I think of them as people like everyone else, and how I always treat them nicely, any sane person would probably be, at best, creeped out.

In conclusion: Scattering statements about how nice you are to people possessing girlbits throughout your profile, yammering about it constantly, or otherwise being obnoxious about your alleged respect for women does not earn you a cookie, a blow job, or anything more than an inadvertent twitch of my eyebrow (this happens when I encounter massive stupidity). Treating women like human beings should be a BASIC THING. It should be like BREATHING. The fact that you think it's something remarkable says a lot more about you than anything you could consciously choose to advertise.
