nothing but pictures/song lyrics/poems/anything except info about themselves, I will probably skip over it. Me too - unless their activity interests or certain qualities are uniquely co-aligned with mine. (I'm always a bit more interested in vegetarians/vegans and people who are into science/skepticism.) I'm not interested in photos and quotes, I'm interested in learning about the person's mind through their own words. OH,,one OTHER thing here,,,ALMOST NO GUY,,,READS your profile before he HITS on ya,,,NOT ME,,because THATS the first thing I DO,,IF YOUR IN FORUM and POST..I look and read,,
True, and sad. there's no bleh, oregon.
Not true! I been there!  NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Well,,in that case. I have been asked every question that a man can be asked,,,BUT, in THAT,,I never suspected THEY WERE GRILLING ME for a LIE they felt I HAD? I just answered their questions,, even IF,,redundant. But,,I would also be with saying,,IF,,you really were interested in me,,YOU should have READ MY PROFILE? Right? And IF----you didn't,,Why NOT?,,,lol If they haven't read my profile and they contact me, they're scammers. If they have read my profile and contact me, they just want to argue with me about it. |

Some have straight up said they're checking to see if I give the same answers. |

It's OK though, because it eliminates them from consideration immediately. Now if only I could run across someone who didn't eliminate themselves in the first sentence....! |

I listen to that voice in my head. It has not failed me. That is the very reason I really don't have a profile per say. I enjoy the forums and I get to know the real people here. If they really want to know who I am about..they can do the extra work and come on to the forums.

This is not about believing everything you read. It's more about assuming everything is a lie because some people have lied. I think that would be a terrible way to go through life, as well as go through profiles. It seems to me that if someone is that jaded, their time might be better spent developing a hobby they can master by themselves and stop exposing others to their negative outlook.

My default setting is "Trust", but I'm also highly suspicious and overly critical.

The people that contact me are kind of varied.
I have had the one who seem to have a list of questions they got off a dateing web site. Many are so goofy and general that you could say about anything and it really isn't going to forward the conversation much. I kind of see the ones that ask me to tell them about me as just too lazy or incapable of holding a polite conversation so they expect me to "entertain" them with some story. I often feel like telling them when I write a biography I will send them a copy. Makes me wonder how boreing their life must be to have to live mine vicariously. The really trollish ones don't take long to ask questions about sex or income and you can figure out pretty quick how fast I hit delete. If someone told me they were asking questions already answered in my profile to see if I was a liar I think I would have one of two reactions; either tell them to grow up and hang up on them as too much of a Drama King or be tempted to mess with their head. If a guy is too stupid to know his thee ex-wives were cheating on him he just too dumb for me and definitely had too much "exposure" for me not wonder about some latent STD. Since most people lead a boreing life compared to mine, which kind of defys encapsulateing, most people do not have the time to listen to the number of places I have lived ect.ect.. I do realize that too many people do lie on the net to take much at face value. To read profiles they are alot of well preserved, remarkable war heros, career men, athletes, lovers, world travelors, and real-estate tycoons. When the reality is they were drafted for three years riding a desk of a moterpool and are just trying to slide into retirement before they get laid off, the last thing atletic they did was push their broke down motercycle out of the livng room back into the garage, haven't been laid since the ex-wife gave them a freebie for old time sake, they drive to the casino out of area because the buffets are better and they got a free play card in the mail, they live in their Grand-Mother's house because the Ex-wife got theirs in the divorce or they are the onsight maintenance man. I find it annoying when it means they are wasteing my time trying to get me to endorse doing something I am not going to do; such as be a mistress while they try to wait out the seperation, tenant, landlord, employeer, or free counselor. Most guys it is just lies of ommission since ninty person say little or nothing in profiles, or on dates. They might gossip about someone else; even tell you their kid's dramas, but they don't want to own up to much. If you ask a question you get some vague generic response if they answer at all. The worst conversations are the ones that feel more like a job application or interrogation. I Can't believe they get away with talking to co-workers, neighbors, or family that way but who knows. If it gets where it feels like they are working from a script or parroting your answers back at you it is too close to being a scammer and I am not going to give them OJT. |

But I might just copy-paste my profile into an email for them. 
This is what I'm going to start doing.
Not true! I been there! lies. You are right, of course. There is no Bleh, OR. My fallacy was an attempt at senseless, confrontational playfulness. Aka teasing? |

I just prefe to hear people speak about themself once we are engaged in a conversation. IF they have already written it, its a stronger chance that its true and not just some whim they thought of when trying to be creative and original for a profile.
