Topic: Do you believe profiles?

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!!
with some people,a whole Saltmine ain't enough!bigsmile
Usually the ones who accuse others the most about being fake!

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:


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 :).


''datish'' by meaning I didn't want to sound desperate...haha


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


My last two paragraphs...


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


No. You're correct. Maybe the coffee hasn't kicked in yet. I'm still kind slow:tongue:


Anyway, I don't see anything in your profile that sounds desperate. :smile:

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?


The profile Picture and Information all line up.

Lets say two mates ..one has a profile on a dating site and the other one does the communicating.

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...



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?


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....


Lets say that this was a real situation what would your views on it be?

To enlighten you a little on my point of mind here.
Let me tell you just ONE story I lived out on here.
Three years ago, through the month of November and into Dec.I was talking with a woman who had five pics in her profile,and we shared over a hundred emails together in conversations,,NOTHING led me to think she was NOT REALLY who she said she was..
THEN,,on Christmas Eve,,at my son's home and talking with her,,and my son about her a bit,,,she THEN tells me that she was a fake,,and put up to leading me on because her girlfriends saw me in forum one night and then read my profile,,and at THAT TIME,,My profile mentioned I was only attracted to slimmer woman,,
As one of her friends was heavy,,SHE didn't like that and put this girl up to playing me on,,,in her last email where she told me her truth,,she apologized and said all of everything about her profile was faked and she was deactivating from here when she ended that email,,and she did,,so I have no idea who she was,,but she was good at not being honest with me..
That was on Christmas Eve,,and I set-back,,and was angered in many ways,,and I just felt,,so used for what she had for so LONG a time did with me,,ALL FOR A PRANK,,Thats THE NET!
And I never lie..or add more,,,
And THIS,,was,,just ONE story I have mentioned as their are many..I have lived on here,,and I DON'T feel my being is naive or stupid in its understanding or trusting or knowing,,YET,,,lol

Been through that before at a weird time in my life. She was real but loved head games. I firmly beleive in payback being a ***** and karma coming back around ten fold.

Other than that I had to deal with a woman or two getting cold feet.

I can relate to that...I shouldn't because I am older than you and should know better, but I have always been an honest person and remain so.. no fool like an old fool.

I thought it only happened when one is young but even older women carry on doing this and it is just not a clever thing to do.

If you read my profile, it is UNBELIEVABLE!

I cant even believe ive been through all that myself.

I wish my profile was fake.

I have made some poor choices in my life, and has some major setbacks, but im still in the ring, and not down yet! *Ding, ding*

THats funny you say that, cause I have actually done that.

I was working at "Ceasars Casino", in South Lake Tahoe, and I used to serve cocktails ringside.

The bikini girl broke her leg, at the last minute, in a car wreck, and they asked ME if I would do it.

They paid me good, and yeah, I did it.

It was really no different than walking around in a cocktail waitress dress. They're both skimpy!

Optomistic, I did ask you questions. Your response just didn't make sense to me. Repeating it didn't change that. If you don't want to explain it a bit more clearly, that's up to you.

You know I want to pour my heart out here so be gentle with meflowerforyou

It is a long story

The other person knew that the profile pic was not that of the person she was talking to.

She continued with that person trying to elicit information about the real profile pic/person.
