You have spoken the truth mighty moe but for me , the focus of profiles is not so much on the truth of who someone is. Even if you are dating in the real world, i pray that few people are stupid enough to accept what people present on the first date as the gospel truth of who they are. For me a profile reflects a level of pride one takes in the way he presents himself to the world. As I explained to someone in this thread before., many of us in our most organic state , walk around at home with holes in our tank tops passing gas loudly ...But is there any need for us to showcase that side of ourselves when we are meeting strangers for the first time? Clever packaging/"profiling" is not necessarily a true reflection of the product inside, but it communicates on a subliminal level to the buyer if the product is worth a second glance

nice reply, and very true... it's the very phoniness that bugs me about dating... but it is what it is, and we have to deal with it when dating...

that is cause if she puts down
my pics are from 1985
I have actually been divorced four times and not two
I take my dog with me even when I go on a date
my doctor says I am good as long as I take my meds


she ain't a gonna get a date

but is she hot?

but is she hot?

This might not work for everyone, but when I was about to create my profile, I wrote what people thought of me as a person and what I thought of me and what I'm looking for, and cobbled those together with my interests. Sometimes we're the worst judges of our own character, the best critics are those people who know you (close friends, family and relatives). I then dictated my thoughts on to my iPhone using the Notes app and I typed out my final draft into Notepad on my computer.

When I was satisfied enough to put it in the appropriate box on Mingle2, I copied the text and pasted it in to the text box on Mingle2 and posted it to the site.

That entire process took about 4 or 5 days, mostly during my free time.

I've since edited my Mingle2 profile here on Mingle2 about 5 or 6 times since I set up my profile. (including changing my location from Montana to South Dakota, since I moved).

I honestly didn't know what to put on mine at first, so I browsed around, asked others offline for suggestions and did a little bit of online research.

Again, being the self-critic, I don't think my profile is the world's greatest, but with some effort, I'm happy I put something substantive in my profile beyond "I'll Tell You Later".

1 / M2 Listing of Ethnicity , I find the options strange. * Mine is - White / Caucasian. * peggy122 is – Black / African descent. * butribu is White / Caucasian


**An ethnic group or ethnicity is a category of people who identify with each other based on common ancestral, social, cultural or national experience. Unlike most other social groups, ethnicity is primarily an inherited status.

So I guess “butribu” and I are closer on inherited status, as that is the only idem that is close. Even though I may have Jamaican parents. (maybe?)
** Culture is the more important factor and much more interesting fact.

2 / “ Looking for : Black / White “ ??? The other day I laid a sheet of typing paper on our large black stove. Placed my arm across them both, guess what ! I’m not black or white. Maybe I did not get the numbered colour chart ? I found this: http://www.empower-yourself-with-color-psychology.com/cultural-color.html
** Culture is the more important factor and much more interesting fact.

* Culture is inclusive
* Colour is exclusive

Doug, you can just call me "tribu"
i didnt know that the nickname was sth unchangeable lol
or u can call me just "B" like Peggy is doing, i like that too :)

butribu: "u can call me just "B" like Peggy is doing, i like that too :) "

B, with that green wig that you are using in your profile image, we should call you the Joker's sister.

that was a wig but when u are here let me know i will let u see the real + blue one lol
seriously ahaha :lol:

ok i keep my blue haired photo for myself :D

When I used to have a profile, guys used to check on what I wrote. I had been told many times that it was because they assume women lie in their profiles. So, that's a huge pet peeve.

Negativity is another big one.

No other pictures aside from the profile picture is off putting and nothing specific in comments is pointless truly.

OMG... Sorry Doug! I somehow missed this comment on my phone. Yes I agree with you. Culture is a way more uniting force than colour. Great observation!
