Why do women put these types of statements on their dating profiles? I mean, isn't dating supposed to be easy?

Seems kind of silly...who would respond to someone that readily admits they are "challenging", but maybe the girl who wrote it thinks it is "cute"?0

I don't know, not something I would put on mine!0

Maybe some women think it will give men the idea that she is multi-layered intellectually or what have you. Just a guess though I have never used that in a dating profile.0

Next them... to me that screams games and people need not to treat dating like a game fun yes games no0
-
I don't understand that reasoning at all. Maybe they think it's the online version of "hard to get"?0
-
You emailed her, right?

lol, no. i'm not up for a challenge. people like that are single for a reason.0
-
Perhaps she is just trying to come across as flirty and inspire a little element of chase and desire in the "alpha male" she is looking for?
Not my style exactly...but it could interest some.0 -
Men always say they like a challenge LOL!!!
EDIT: but I wouldn't put that as mine, so I agree. I like to have witty ones....0 -

Yes, I think this is a good answer!! Men like a challenge (or so they say?)........so there you have it lol0 -
People that say that usually know they're trouble!0

I avoid all profiles that used negative imagery to get their point across. For example, focusing on deal-breakers as opposed to deal-makers, or talking about how they run into nothing but "boys" and are looking for a "man". I don't think this one is overtly negative, but it is starting to go that direction and I think I feel where you're coming from on the attitude this portrays.
You could always just message them and let them know they're not fooling anyone about a "challenge" in those cheap hooker shoes.0 -
I don't think I've ever put that in my profile other than kind of discribing that I'd like a man who is active and would challenge and encourage me to try new things and keep up with him physically...
But as for personality wise..nope I want dating to be easy, simple...someone who we make each other laugh, on a similar wave length ect.0 -
Yes men like a challenge. But we don't want to have to have an enigma decoder to understand the messages women are sending out.
For the young ones, do a search on "Enigma decoder", and you will understand.0 -
It's the type of guy they want to attract. It works on some people, doesn't work on others. All part of finding the person who is compatible with you. *shrug* I definitely prefer more low hey and straight forward but these types go for each other and not me, so eh.0

Who wants to be challenged to "stay" or "be" with someone before they even know them?
Why would I even care about her... I don't know her.
Sure, maybe she is ridiculously good looking in what case I will pretend I'm interested in her "challenges" so that I can get in her pants.
Everyone likes a challenge when it's worth it... That doesn't mean they go running after these "intellectually challenged" women (here is my "PC immunity" card).0 -
I wouldn't ever, but think it's code for "crazy".
On that note, why do so many guys say they want a "partner in crime"? The first time I saw it, I just let it roll. But, I see it so many profiles.0 -
It's the same reason every single one of them claim to be "down to earth" or they "love to laugh." They think that's what guys want to hear and they have nothing else interesting to say. I also have a theory that people who feel they need to say things like this are probably lying. Down to earth people don't need to go around telling people how down to earth they are, just like non-serial killers don't really need to tell everyone that they're not a serial killer, it's just assumed.
People looking for a partner in crime are probably just looking for another person to have sex with for a change. Either that or they actually do need help robbing a jewelry store.0 -

To me partner in crime isn't near as annoying as ready for a challange....... Girls who proclaim themselves as a challange usually aren't.... Partner in crime is cute lol but that may just be my mischevious side :devil:0 -

This! It also goes along with "I need a man that can handle me." Usually the girls are looking for a father figure.0
