  I’m very sad to read no drama in profiles. I mean I find it to be such a downer when a person tells the world they have no interest in passion, excitement, and life. We live only once and I think drama should be embraced and given a new role. If you don’t want downers or naggers then say that but drama to me is color, vitality, the energy that makes life worth living.
  
  What do you think?
  
  Updated;
  These are the definitions I’m using;
  1. Exciting event: a real-life event or situation that is particularity exciting or emotionally involving.
  2. Art plays as genre: works written for performance on the stage, television, or radio considered as a literary genre
  
  Drama is art for me to use this word in it's negative is what bothers me not the desire to detour misery.

  I’m aware of the definition but I’m an optimist. Plus it’s my opinion people who say no drama tend to be followed by that they‘re running from.
  
  This is the definition I’m using;
  Exciting event, a real-life event or situation that is particularity exciting or emotionally involving.
  
  
  LOL on your #4

  No Drama can also mean the guy concerned does not really have any interest in working at a relationship because in every relationship where two people really connect, things WILL get messy .
  
  I think they want someome who isn't going to object when they screw you around: that is DRAMA.

  I am a 'no drama' type of person, and to me that means I'm not the type of person who gets bitchy or manipulative in order to get something I want or to make someone else feel bad. If you're in a healthy relationship, there is going to be some kind of conflict. Drama is creating conflict for the sake of conflict, which is not healthy.

  I dunno. When I see a profile that specifically points out "NO drama" I just pass it up. I mean it's like when they say "I have no regrets". So that means they are perfect and too good for me.
  Because I have regrets, since I'm only human. And regardless of how much I try, there will always be some degree of drama.
  
  Just my opinion.

  In any relationship there will be disagreements and conflicts and hurt feelings. You can work these things out by compromises achieved through rational discussion conducted with mutual respect. Or you can yell, scream, make threats, and throw breakable objects. Option #2 is Drama. I prefer Option #1.

  I agree totally. The latter is childish and immature. But drama can be defined as confrontation. If someone upsets me I will discuss it. But NEVER abusively. And some gay guys can't even cope with that.

  I thought "no drama" on profiles meant that they failed their acting classes.

  When I see "I don't do drama", it's next to statements like "I hate liars / I can't stand fake people - BE REAL! / I don't have time for players in my life" etc.
  
  People that kick off their own introduction with negativity about others is about the biggest red flag one could wave to let people know they're still coping with something personally damaging. It's sad to think they're quite possibly ensuring they don't meet happy, centered people with a positive outlook on life.

  Very well said!
  
  I also hate negativity in profiles in general; I think preferences can be stated without having to sound like a negative nancy.

  Seems like the guys who have "no drama" in their profiles are the ones who create the drama themselves

  When people NO DRAMA on their page it really means that they have so much drama in their own lives that they can not even handle any more drama from anyone else. LOL So when I see that statement I just stay away

  If you don't understand what someone means by no drama, you're a fucking idiot.

  Not quite the definition I would have given, but close enough.
  
  Seriously, I don't know what kind of sheltered ass lifestyle you've been living if you've never heard the word drama used like this before or you can't deal with a word having multiple definitions.

  eh, it's just [gay] people being lemmings
  
  an overwhelming majority of the profiles say some iteration of:
  
  masculine, chill, no-drama, down-to-earth, straight-acting, VGL (love the self-description)
  
  yet, in reality, most of these people are anything but

  If something is elegant, no need to proclaim it as such.

  I think it means people have enough of their own drama to deal with and don t need second helpings from someone else?

  I'm not sure you are interpreting the drama part right.
  
  i think people aren't looking for people who are extreme in the case that they over react or blow things out of proportion.
  
  I don't think this means they don't want a relationship. I think it all lies in finding the right person to be with and all that good stuff.

  I'm living a very happy full life and enjoy the things that I do. Thanks for the reply, try to keep it civil next time.
  
  This is a forum after all and most of this is meant as tongue and cheek.

  These words in a profile usually turn me away from messaging that person.
