I would agree that nobody has any pressing need to put their flaws on the internet.

However, if they have chosen to do so, then, in the interests of those who will be reading the information, it would be nice if they could at least try to make an accurate assessment, and not assume that the matter will be covered by a string of cliches.

Those who aren't capable of self-diagnosis are probably better off not making the attempt.

I think its more a question of, IF you know and love who you are,,you also have to realize and know all that your subjected to in your weaknesses,(as we all have them), Me personally on here,
I have had way to many people feeling me more a SAINT OF NICENESS,,and thats not really ALL of who I am,,so I try now to dampen THAT through trying to be good, bad and the ugly that comes with me,,as my human traits..
If you are GOOD with knowing who you live,,and how you live that.
Then your at home inside your soul and heart.
NOBODY will ever PERFECT themselves,,,to being MORE that they ARE.
Its life,,to exaggerate,and put-on appearances that only are ones BEST-SIDE,,,,Its another to have the mind-set,,to be or try to be REALLY WHO YOU ARE,,,and FEW,,,try to do that,,because THEY ARE NOT HAPPY with themselves in most areas of life...they live..
OK,,I have lost many now,,,,lol, Great post though...

I did put some of my flaws up on another dating site. I warn them ahead of time. I say that I am feisty and blunt. I state if someone stands me up they don't get a second chance.

I got stood up and the guy spent 7 emails trying to change my mind and then ended up attacking me because I wouldn't give him a second chance.

Even if the flaws are listed, people don't pay attention to what you write.

That's true, but at least you can go back and say "It's all there in writing in my profile! Whose fault is it that you didn't read it?"

Caveat dator, to make up a non-existent Latin warning....

When most people look into a mirror they seem to forget that the room lighting may not be the best .

And that they also may need better glasses.

Well, I don't necessarily see those as flaws, however, that reminds me of the best piece of advice I ever heard.

"When someone tells you who they are, believe them."

I'd like to use that as my headline.

Question: Don't you think it would nothing more than appropriate for negative aspects to attract negative people?!

Intolerant, impatient, rigid in my belief structure, self sufficient, contradictory, contrary, fierce...

these are the shadowself/weaknesses that I struggle with.

ironically, they are also my strengths...

We are all flawed, that's the beauty of the human spirit...

Me too but I will try.

Impatient, pushy, sensitive, smart azz, honest (even when not asked) ...wow, I could go on and on
