| Are people REALLY as romantic and mushy as their profile states?

Sometimes they're secretly romantic and mushy, but the complete OPPOSITE of their hard-assed profile .... the romantic side can be cleverly concealed until it's safe to reveal it .... which is way intriguing ....
So true. There's one man who's forum posts caught my attention because they are so John Wayne sort of romantic that I read his profile. OMG - the most provacative hard-ass profile I've read in years. I'll never meet this man but return, often, to read his profile just for the entertainment. Wish I could read/find someone like that closer to home. | |

Um, my profile is far from mushy
I couldn't agree more with this statement.
My profile is so honest I have men e-mailing me of how I scare the crap outta em', yet still want me to go out with them.
Most people want to portray themselves in a positive light when in real life they're royal bitc*hes or jerks with control issues with their picture tacked up in your local post office on the FBI's most wanted list.
I don't sugarcoat my profile or my personality and I refuse to lie about being "nice" or "mushy" and "romantic" when I'm just waiting for an opportunity to ridicule, tease and literally make your life a living he!! if given half the chance. And I'm not kidding about that.
Most of us have one or two horror stories to tell about that guy or girl that just "wasn't what he/she thought they were", no? A profile on a dating site is nothing but a glimpse of what some people are, what some people aren't, and sadly what some people wish they were..but the true test is spending time with that person and observing their behaviour in many situations with your kids, your animals, your family, your friends, how they treat a waiter or waitress in a restaurant and many other scenarios where their "true colors" will surely emerge sooner or later.

I dunno Sans... I kinda think your profile portrays someone quite charming and personable...
Sure, if you're willing to spend every waking moment wondering what limb I'll decide you can live without if you pi$$ me off. lol
So, I should ignore the last 15 hate-mails that I received today??
Indeed, pssst..in perusing your profile I do see quite a bit of similarities with each other in our "pleasing personalities"...what's not to like with us???
I simply prefer to tell it like it is on my profile so there aren't any "surprises" down the road..."romantic" and "mushy" my a$$! lol Most of us are living on the brink of that fine line between sanity and insanity which can be triggered at any moment in time.
I just want to make sure my future dates are well aware that I'm leaning more toward the latter...lol

Posted: 9/29/2008 7:11:30 PM | | I've never tried the mushy approach and never will. I have no desire to try to be someone other than who I am. I would venture a guess that guys who write that dribble are just trying to increase the odds of getting a response. | |

Posted: 9/29/2008 7:40:35 PM | | I think there are lots of people who put up fronts to get what they want. So many people online write what people want to hear and not what they feel inside. I think the easy way to find out is to just ask questions. If you get one words answers to questions then they are shallow or lousy communicators. In order to be romantic you have to be able to express yourself. It is so tuff to weed out the 95% of the people that only want one thing. Remember folks that there is a reason why most of the people that are on here are single. They will always be single. But there are the select few that really want the brass ring. So whenever reading that romantic profile...first rule is give the benifit of yes this could be the right person but then ask questions and see if you get the same results | |

Posted: 9/29/2008 10:54:29 PM | | A guy once called my profile "muscular" LOL. Don't think that means romantic and mushy. While every word of my profile is true, I am romantic at heart. Not Hallmark romantic, but when a man pays enough attention to know and do the things that make me feel special then I respond favorably. That said, I believe in reciprocity so I try to do the same for him. Yes, I've been known to wash and polish the motorcycle just because he liked it shiny and clean. | |

I enjoy reading profiles. But there are sooo many men's profiles that talk about walks on moonlit beaches, cuddling, snuggling, holding hands and gazing into her eyes while reciting poetry..there is just no way all of them have congregated onto POF. It's like a the John Keats Society has flocked here.
Are you guys serious when you post that? Or have you written that in hope of drawing a woman to you?
Do you find women go for that?
And ladies-are you attracted to that?
I'm not being sarcastic-I am genuinely curious about this. I know some men like affection, it just seems odd to me to see it boldly displayed in that way
This is incredibly pathetic and shallow- both from guys and gals. Anyone can get a personality by copying something off a Google search. Poetry appeals to generalities- it's shallow, thin and vacant. Very rhetorical and subjective to interpretation.
I hear this long walks on the beaches crap by many, but how many really choose to live it? Don't they just find it easier to sit in an air conditioned automobile for twenty minutes rather than just parking the thing and walking to where they need to go in less time? Or does sand in the toes offend them? I see so much generalities by people, but not one of them can be creative and expess themselves for who they are and what they want. They just want to appeal to the herd, in hopes that someone- anyone- will come their way. | |

That's just bull. Sentimentality is a powerful emotion... HUGE. Sentimentality has people LITERALLY carrying baggage... a memento here, bronze baby shoes there. When I think of all the sentiment that goes into cards and gifts I receive, or the words that are said that have just the right meaning at the right moment - I'm certain sentimentality is powerful. Clearly, it's not important to everyone.
One man's concerto is another man's noise.
Yeah... and could you turn it down please...  | |

Posted: 9/30/2008 8:23:31 AM | Ah, Professora, nothing as exciting as a woman with more letters after her name than in it! Imagine the mutual electricity involved in agreeing on a mutual basis for agreement.....
Considering the statistics, is there anything such as an "educated" Harley guy in this age group? | |

At least you're honest. As someone who writes that dribble, I can assure you, it gets responses. But of course one would be an idiot to represent themselves as a romantic when they don't have the goods to back it up (and that would, of course, be a call on the part of the person being romanced  ) . So yeah, if you're not as romantic and mushy as your profile states, DON'T put that kind of stuff on your profile. It's really no different than lying about anything else. | |
