Why do people on here always ask what I like? Isn't that the whole point of groups on here....

People aren't really interested in getting to know others they just want you to be their entertainment. Ignore, wasting time is annoying.

People don't read profiles. A couple of guys who used to write me never read mine. They were always surprised.

they dont want to spend any time just take a try at you and move to the next

I got no probs reading a profile, and agree that people should look there if they're interested in what someone likes.

But from what I can tell, no that's not the point of groups on here...

My understanding is that the groups concepts were on EP to allow people to make groups and form their own like minded areas (like you are suggesting).

But when EP went down, SW took the same set up and stopped allowing people to create groups (making them a lot less useful and more in the way). And people stopped using groups nearly as much for anything useful other than writing groups from what I've personal seen. (There is a lot I haven't seen)

I look at the groups and then the groups in common

Many times I never interact with someone because there is nothing in common or not enough

people are different, so some will ask about your interests or hobbies.don't take it as a serious issue

Adding a group might not tell tge whole story; for instance, to check a group named "I like Rough Sex"...well, what if a guy likes really VERY rough sex, but doesn't want to freak you out, so he tries to gauge what "rough" means to you. [I am not into this, personally, but groups often have subjective aspects.]

But RE: guys pushing back...well, they are the ones doing this, so they already do not find it intrusive...lol
