I joined this site to meet people, make friends, participate in forums, have some fun....Meeting people includes meeting men...Of course I want to meet a man and fall in love, be loved!.....In spite of this, my profile description "of me" consists of two sentences...One is average in length, one is short, three words....I have lots of pic in my profile, people can look at them if they want to....I am satisfied with the results my profile is producing..... Personally, I see no need to tell my whole life history when describing myself and feel the basics should be enough...

One thing I do not do is place stipulations...If I come across a picture or a profile description that peaks my interest, I will contact that person...I am not concerned with Who contacts Whom first...


Different things work for different people. I gave the basics in my profile, as well as several conversation starters. Some complain about it being too long and would rather me just tell them. Either way, they have to read it! laugh


:thumbsup: You get no argument on that from me!!:laughing:

There was a guy who nudged me yesterday and then emailed me to let me know he did it specifically because I said not to. For some reason, he thought I'd find that funny and want to chat with him. I don't understand this way of thinking.


laugh laugh laugh laugh

I think that worked for some people in 6th grade.

OK. With all that being said I gave my profile a redux. Tell me what you think or does it sound too much of a ''datish'' type profile.

Several convo starters and kinds of telling you where I'm coming from. I have no profile sensitivity so please be harsh:tongue:

Lately, many people who contact me tell me they want me to tell them all about myself, rather than them reading profiles because everyone lies on profiles. I've noticed this more and more lately.

Are you like this? When you contact someone, do you want them to tell you things, so that you can check to see if they're truthful?

Does this happen to you? Do you find that many people are wary of believing anything in a profile?

The latest guy told me that if I expected people to read my profile, rather than repeat everything there, it must be because I've forgotten what I have written. Man, some people are bitter and assume everyone is alike.
Believe anything with the proper amount of Salt!
Just sometimes it takes a Lot Of Grains !laugh

Indeed...take everything with a grain of salt...At times,extra salt may be necessary, some foods are really bland!!

That's the kind of stuff I like to see in profiles, as it gives me an idea of what the person is about and whether we have anything in common. And it gives someone enough to find something to start a conversation about.

Not sure what a "datish" type profile is compared to others, though, as this is a dating site :).

Can you give examples of what you think would be in a "datish" or desperate profile?

What about if the Profile picture is not the person you are communicating with and you continue to communicate.

And if that person reveals himself.

A Do you continue to communicate in the same vane?.

B Do you come clean and be honest?

C Do you use that person to gain information?

Are you talking about if the profile picture is a completely different picture? Or just something other than the person?

And what would the other person be coming clean and be honest about? What information would they be using the person to gain?

I wouldn't know.....Probably best to NEVER use a fake photo and profile information...That should avoid all problems and/or questions that might arise .......Conversation over....

I'm not sure I understand. Are you saying that describing what you're looking for is desperate?
