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)
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
@brownsugar It was , I thought you could tell I did look at you're profile with the things I added . I know in text I am not nearly as funny as in person , do ya think its my timing ?
@brownsugar Noted ,sorry ,I will try harder next time . I don't hit on young ladies ,so I would only be trying to make you smile thank you for being kind and so on .I am not known for being a flirt . I avoid topics that cause wars ,and I am way to old for you . So maybe we could just become friends just because , and as I see you around ,read you're posts I might actually learn more that way ,I try to learn a little something about everyone who is nice and kind here ,the rude and arrogant I don't waste my time either ,more then likely one of us will end up blocking the other anyway ,,have a good one ,nice to kind of meet you . I am sure you're likes are a lot deeper then whats listed on you're profile .
