Posted: 10/23/2006 10:05:31 PM | Bah, I wish I could make my profile sound like a peice of artwork, unfortunately, I can never get my mind wrapped around what to say in those description. I'm normally a person full of words, however, when it comes to a self description I'd rather hide in a corner and train my cat to type my profile for me.
I've met a couple dozen people over the years from these sites, and its been a rare occassion that the person was who I imagined from their profiles. I've leanred to go inn with really low expectations... and try and have a good time no matter what. Hehe | |

A really vague profile forces people to send you a message based soley on your picture, should you have one, if they send you a message at all.
Personally I like profiles showing a sense of humour and hopefully some of the same interests as me. I have met a couple guys without pics in their profiles based on what they had to say and it was okay. In the end it didn't work out but was worth a shot.
And people wonder why they don't get mail! | |

Posted: 10/24/2006 12:10:16 PM | I think that in the abscence on information in a profile we all refer to assuming. We use our past experiences as a guide in that case.
So if someone has prefer not to say under has kids, means they have kids.
So if someone has prefer not to say under smokes, means they smoke.
So if someone has no picture, means they are hiding something or do not feel they are attractive enough to post a picture.
So if someone has prefer not to say under drugs, means they do drugs.
I am sure you all get the idea.
The more vague the less of a chance you have of being able to connect with that person. So the more you can safely disclose about your self the better a chance a person has to understand you. | |

Posted: 10/24/2006 12:25:44 PM | I think that a profile is nothing more than a brief and albeit a subjective and sometimes biased view of oneself ...
I mean to say this ... Would you actually post a profile that made you look bad ?
It is just that some are better than others probably due to writing ability, and in some cases the pix says a thousand words.
Can I tell alot about the person ?.. No ... But does it give me something to go on to want to possibly chat with that person ... yes ... The profile is the teaser not the main course ... that is the way I look at it.

Posted: 10/24/2006 12:30:11 PM | What is the deal with bad grammer, seriously, how many people are having to use grammer and punctuation in their daily live? i don't think i have ever needed it since i got out of school.
To many people assume grammer and punctuation is the be all sign of intelligience, did you know Albert Einstein could barely read, or that stephen hawking was the literary Grammer and Punctuation champion? HE WASN'T
Now try to convince me their idiot's! 
The only thing i look for is blatent preferences, like type of music or movies and things generic like that, the rest is upto interpratation. I don't see how grammer and punctuation are gonna make any difference to making money, raising a family, having good sex, or cuddling on the couch, etc.
I mean omg, a girl that cant multiply 274 by 36 in her head, must be a idiot, oh wait she has punctuation and grammer. lol | |

Sorry to quote you, I'm just using it as an example.
I have seen many profiles like the example above,
and I just can't get my head around it. | |
