"Comfortable in jeans or a little black dress..."


Exactly, it's like I asked a girl if she preferred option A or option B, and she said "yes." Not so descriptive, really.

Tell me if this describes just about everyone.

I love going out or just staying in and relaxing.
I love having fun, but I can be serious when needed.
I can get dressed up, but I like just kicking it in comfy clothes.
I can be smart, but I love just fooling around and being silly.

My point is just that everyone pretty much enjoys a variety of things, very few are pigeonholed to ONE specific thing. ("I never go out" or "I never joke around"). It would be a tad better to expound upon why maybe you enjoy one more than the other. :smile:

My profile on another site:

"About me: Hi, my name is (other), I'm a hard working guy who just likes to have fun. I'm a passionate believer in (ask me), it's more than just going to a building once a week. In my spare time, I go (prefer not to say) or (ask me later)."

Heres mine on another site. don't think it would really fit into this site..

The philosophy I live by is that it's all about making you *** until you beg me to stop. For me a perfect date is one where we head out with a plan, but we go where the night takes us. When I'm at home alone, a lot of personal projects and hobbies keep me occupied. I like to meet new friends and gain new perspectives. In my free time I like to speed down the highway with no destination in mind. I'm in the mood for an outgoing woman to shake my world up a little. I'm not changing my life, I'm kicking it to the curb and getting a better one. If you contact me I promise to send you home with a smile on your face. I look forward to finding the right person; I know you're out there!

So here's my tongue in cheek (or is it?) tirade about profile cliches which bug me.

"No liars or cheaters": Do you think that by saying this, the liars and cheaters will stop in their tracks and willingly admit to their ways? Do you think that they will suddenly tell you that they are in fact a liar, "just to let you know the truth"? Or even better, that they'll move on until they find someone that IS looking for a liar or cheater? I don't think that's how they work, and I DEFINITELY don't think that a sentence in your profile will deter them.

"I love all types of music" and "music is my life": Ok, we all like music. In fact, most of us enjoy a very wide variety of music. But there has to be a favorite in there somewhere! Give us a hint about where your preferences lie. Surely you don't love Mozart as much as Megadeth. At least lead us in the right direction.

"Are there any good guys left?!?!": There sure are, and I'll tell you what we really love...pessimism! Nothing's quite as hot as a girl who has given up all faith in being happy with a guy, and seems apparently unable to attain happiness without a man in her life.

"I love going out but I also love staying in". How entirely specific! Maybe you could elaborate by writing "I love things" or, "Stuff is fun to do". That would put us on a better track towards knowing anything about you. If you want to get real personal, you could even list some intimate things, like "I like food and money and having fun and laughing!!" ...EVERYONE LIKES ALL THOSE THINGS! SAY SOMETHING ORIGINAL.


*Disclaimer* Don't get all whiny about this, it's all in good fun. Sorta. :tongue:


I would have to say there are too many profiles for no-one not to have any cliches. Just certian needs of people on here, But the funniest are; No liars, no cheats, or the one that just talk about themselve's..rofl

My profile is what it is. I can't force myself to change one word of it.

Then again you may want to reconsider yours. Seems like a lot of profiles talk about being into fitness, sports or just re-worded cliche.

Hi,

I am a liar and a cheat. I am currently seeking a dominatrix who is also codependent. I do not like to cuddle but would rather just get it on.

If I like the outdoors, I would sleep under a bridge abutment not in house.

If you are a woman of conviction (not a convict) who is clean, fit and willing to accept cash in lieu of compliments then I would like to talk with you. Regardless, I'm gonna perv you anyway.

Rate my profile.:wink:

Here is my new profile. It's the best of the best Except for the last two lines.


Looking for Ms. Right
"I'm different from the other men. I love having fun, but I can be serious when needed. I love going out but I also love staying in. That's right, I can be smart but I love just fooling around and being silly. What else...oh I love all types of music, in fact music is my life.

Are there any good women left? No liars or cheaters. No games of head trips.
If you want to know more about me just ask. Either pick me or I don't want to talk to you. Have a fantastic day!!"

I just babble in mine lol No matter how much mumbo jumbo someone says about themselves in their profile, it still doesn't truely say who they are. Best way to find that out is to talk to them. And I truely dispise the "King looking for his Queen" or "Finally Mr. Right-for-you" or "The last nice guy left on earth" etc etc etc.

And I have no clue what mine says other than something to the effect of "just here to cause hell on the threads" lmao
