Here is a deeper look into a profile. Share some things that really set apart from other profiles.

For me, I can usually tell if a person is narcissistic (conceited) when they brag about how exceptionally hot they are or what they have or actually list out where they have been.

Also, for me I can usually tell their confidence level by the number of pictures they have. While this isn't true for all.

What are your views on some of the profiles you have seen.

To me a short profile generaly means that people can't think of a lot of good things to say about themselves, or that they are the type of person who wants you to find out about them by asking the right question. (which is hard when there is one sentence and 3 intrests lol.)

When someone says that they can't describe themselve in a little box to me it means that they have lots of different' facets of their persoanality that they can connot describe them all at one time.

And my favorite is the people who have on thier profile only a list of people who shouldn't contact them and leave it at that.

LOL laugh Actually it was a profile I happend to look at while doing mutual match. Just cause its nice to pass the time.

It was a woman who thought she was man's gift basically, to which point she gets everything she wants and if she didn't you weren't good enough.

So yeah narcissistic really came to my mind upon that particular profile.

If I judged other's by their profile, then I'd have to conclude that practically everyone here is, "laid-back, easygoing, and likes to have fun." That seems to be a common theme.

IMO, you have to chat and read forum posts to gain a better idea about someone.

Yes, that is an interesting proposal.
Although, narcisstic is not necessarily conceited.
It also means that one is obsessed with things of beauty, and if he or she believes him/herself to be beautiful; may be obsessed with his/herself.
As for my profile, I have posted the maximum number of pics of myself.
What do you think about profiles that post a lot of pictures but that are of abstract images not of themselves?

"I'm a fun person who loves to have fun" (the entirety of a profile I saw) tells me that the person is redundant. And likes to have fun. Whatever they mean by "fun."

When the only thing in the profile is "Anything you want to know, you'll have to ask," I know I don't really want to know all that badly.

"You know you want me" tells me I don't.

"No game players" tells me she is using the same "How to Write Dating Site Profiles" book as 249,473 other people on this site.

Don't forget they like restaurants, music and movies. Without any clarification of what genres or types. They also like to go out but also stay in sometimes. Everyone has a great sense of humor according to themselves and is looking for someone honest, thoughful and funny. (except me, I want someone moronic, bellicose, and boring with homicidal tendencies.)

More than most will know....NOT LOOKING, NOT AVAILABLE...Just here for the vege burgers.....



Thanks for the look, but as you can see, there's nothing to see, so move along, and enjoy the show.


I have all I require, and look for nothing more.


There is no need to know me, because those that see me, already know me.

Those that already know me, love me.


As I do them.


So in one's infinite wisdom, on the psychology of Profiles, what does this one say to you? huh

But TRUE THIS,,,,Profiles are but to the PERSON as the PERSON is to their PROFILE...lol
Are their people on here who have FAKE PICS and PROFILES that our FAKE,,,helll yes...
And by reading ones WORDS and what THEY say they ARE in them.
I can see through SOME who COULD Easily be FAKE, but SOME can and will still fool me....drinker bigsmile smokin
