| Dating websites Profiles, Fake or Real????
Posted: 9/14/2008 5:51:10 PM | | This my first venture on a dating website. Ok.. so here is my question to all the men and women on any dating website... I have read so many profiles where the woman and/or man is looking for an intelligent, funny, down to earth guy or girl. Now I know there has to be a level of attraction from the get go, but everyone is wanting to meet someone special but I honestly think that both men and women are pre-judging by looks alone. So the bottom line question here is... Are the profiles Real or Fake ... is what is in your profile really what your looking for .. (which to me most people are looking for a good sense of humor) or are you looking for that 8 or 9 out of 10 man or woman even befor you give them a chance? I would really like some input, as I am wondering what people in general are TRUELY looking for. | |

I’d like to think they are real. I'm really new at this myself so I can't speak from experience, but it seems a waste of time to post one thing and mean another. No one is going to come to the party if you don’t invite them. And, they probably won't come in if you forgot to mention formal attire. | |

Of course people judge you on how you look. How is someone going to have a romantic relationship with someone who they have no attraction to you at all. Have you ever tried to kiss someone who you felt nothing for ? I have , and I can assure you I felt like screaming then vomiting . Not a experience I would like to repeat. Oh and if you are going to choose a body type then at least choose an accurate one because you are a bhm not a few extra pounds. If you don' t want to put bhm then just leave it prefer not to say. | |

Posted: 9/14/2008 8:46:45 PM | Evrything in my profil is completely true.
Alot of people are viewing profiles on looks alone, is that so wrong? We all have something spacific we'ree looking for, It' just that I don't think people what they really want.
To answer your quetion, I think we're all on this site for fun no one really knows
what they want. | |

Posted: 9/14/2008 10:50:39 PM | IMO most profiles are what people either hope or fear they are, and they are looking for what they think they want.
In other words they simply add filigree to their social mask, hide their identity, and get confused when they discover everyone else did the same.
Oh yeah, so in essence the profiles are both real and fake...IMO | |

Posted: 9/14/2008 11:01:36 PM | | I'm pretty sure my profile is spot on. Even had a couple girl and guy friends give it the once over. I have run across a lot of "misinformed" profiles though | |

Posted: 9/15/2008 2:07:38 AM | | Mine is real, but some photos just look to fake to be real, i dont trust pro-pictures....even tho that doesnt mean they are real, just a sceptic. | |
|
| Dating websites Profiles, Fake or Real????
Posted: 9/15/2008 8:13:44 AM | Yeah, i think if the pic looks to good to be true ....then it generally is.
Some of them look like they are completly fake... another thing i dont understand is why some people have profiles without a picture. A picture gives you a certain sense of what a person is like physically, even if its a terrible pic.
I'd like to think my profile is real, well, real to me. Must work on better pic though  | |

Posted: 9/15/2008 9:12:32 AM | | The profiles here are more than likely more real than on other sites..the pay for sites are deceptive..they show 10,000 users in your area, but oonly 200 of em pay....so you cannot communicate with 9,800 of em, and there is no real way to tell..it is real easy to set up a script to show someone was "online" an hour ago... | |

Posted: 9/15/2008 10:07:57 AM | Mine is real... i am looking for a guy who makes me laugh, whos romantic etc.... but of course there is also the type of guy you find attractive. Who wouldnt want a 8, 9 or 10 i dont think anyone would pass one up if they had the other stuff as well... but i wont pass up a 6 either if they have the stuff im looking for.
Of course its the pic that attracts you to the profile i dont think there is anyone out here who reads every single persons profile in thier age range. You start with the pic and see what else they have that you want. if they dont you move on. I dont only go looking for the 10's if i see a pic of a guy who i think is kinda cute i will read thier profile too. I dated a guy who i thought was alright looking but the more i got to know him the better looking he became atwards the end i thought he was hot. So you have to start with some attraction you cant date someone you cant picture even kissing.
I know for a fact there are alot of guys and prolly some girls who dont even read the profiles they just message based on the pic and if you send them a message they delete it without even looking at your profile. I have certain things listed in my profle i dont want and i get messaged from them all the time lol so either they are not reading the profile or they are hoping you change your mind lol
So yes alot are fake you just have to weed out them to find the ones your looking for. | |

Posted: 9/15/2008 10:41:37 AM | | I do believe the majority of the profiles here are real. Real in the sense as they were created by the person they represent. Of course the validity of the information or the accuracy of the pictures are questionable. After awhile it is easy to spot ones that just do not seem to add up. As for prejudging on looks. Everyone does it. Everyone. Did I happen to say everyone? I try to avoid generalizations like the plague but everyone wants to be attracted to their partner. Luckily, we all have our own idea of what is attractive so those of us without "super model" looks/figures are safe. | |

Posted: 9/15/2008 11:17:08 PM | Most profiles are examples of "puffing," exaggerated praise and flattering depictions, for promotional purposes.
Fake is another word for it. | |

Posted: 9/15/2008 11:52:16 PM | Most profiles are fake atleast I can tell from the exp with talking to countless women. Most women have a list of attributes they are looking for in a guy which is bigger than the grocery list one may have for a big thanks giving dinner party.
I want a TALL ( even the ones who are 4'11 or 5' want a real tall man) and to me that's the funniest thing to read lol. Well yes I am short so deal with it. If I was suppose to be any taller then God would have made me since he knows best. A lot of short girls have ignored my chats because of that. One time a girl who was talking to me and getting along so fine. We were laughing and enjoying the chat. Well at first she couldn't open my profile for some reason so the chat went on then when she was able to open it and she said to me " you are short" she was 5' remember I am still 4 " taller to her. So after saying that she said a cuss word and closed the window and blocked me. hahah Aint my loss.
so I want Tall , handsome, attractive, ( so the first three are about looks most of the time)
and then there is a big list after that that follows.
Well I probably qualify for most of it since I am intelligen, I have an amazing brain and I am pretty successful and Lead a team of hundreds of people in my different businesses. So yes I do have those qualities and Yes I have a great sense of humor.
But I think most women here are just looking for some one who is atleast a 9 or even a perfect 10 in looks which is almost impossible and for sure the rest they can careless. Yes I agree that one should only date who they are attracted to but common out of thousands of guys are how many are perfect 9 or 10? so if all the women wanted that and ignored the rest? what about the other qualities that are mentioned in the profiles that they are looking for?
I will be honest I will date some one even a 5 who has a good heart , sweet and not a Bit*ch than a hot bombshell who makes me wanna throw up when she opens her Bit*chy mouth and has a stinking attitude.
Although they say , a sense of humor , intelligent and career and blah and blah , I think that is all BS. Yes I may not not be a perfect 10 but I am pretty decent looking and I do have all the other qualities but I get ignored a lot of times because of not a 9 or perfect 10 looks. Most women are either playing games or BSing in my humble but accurate opinion ;-) | |

Posted: 9/16/2008 12:01:15 AM | uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....sorry but...sounds like a self defeated self deflated already decided attitude...what do they call that again? Glass 5% full???
Have fun...it is hard to be charming without having a self deprecating sense of humor...and the less you believe in "how GREAT you are", the better off you will probably be...
at least, you won't be talkin about "****y mouths and stinking attitudes"!

Posted: 9/16/2008 12:51:16 AM | But doncha feel sorta bad for him, just a tiny bit?
To those outside his life, it's obvious he's nursing a load of hurt.
But ya still gotta feel sorry for him. I mean, his answer didn't even address the OP's question...
Therapy? | |

Posted: 9/16/2008 8:29:31 AM | no dont feel sorry for me, But look at your own profile and feel sorry for yourself. With all that is going on for you , you still can't find a right guy? And on this site? hmmmmm wondering if you need the therapy for the vibes you are sending to the men that you are still looking for the PERFECTO Man inspite of all that is going on for you.
And Mikey, thanks for your 2 cents. But remember you are not in my shoes. So you won't understand where I am coming from but then again being short for 98% of the women is one less thing for you to worry about so I don't think you will ever understand what some guys go through. | |

Posted: 9/18/2008 11:32:55 AM | .......uh oh...looks like we drove him off the site...that didn't take much! Trailgirl, you were actually being nice to him and he took it horribly, it was me he should have ragged on!
I wish him the best with his issues...it sounds like he has a lot he has to work out!! | |

Posted: 9/18/2008 2:29:50 PM | | Of coarse people pre judge by looks...and it is HUMAN NATURE. Lets see, I go to the gym 5 days a week, eat healthy and I have hobbies that involve crossbows, guns, hooves, fishing poles, figure skates, and a special diet...so I would almost like to think meeting someone with similar hobbies and actually participating in them would be the way to go. I get a lot of emails from "nice guys" but I am not going to date someone I am not attracted to (neither would you.) So, profiles are what they are. There is no way to even know if a profile is real or fake until you meet someone and get to know them. And even then it still may take a few rough times to figure out the person is a fake or a liar. I am looking for what I wrote about myself. THINGS IN COMMON. And like one guy I told, "I appreciate your interest. But belonging to a gym and actually going to the gym, appear to be 2 different things." it is not being mean, it is just the truth. A lot of people can not handle the truth. | |

Ain't that the truth.
OP, yeah you are right to assume that people pre-judge on looks on these sites. It's human nature. You know it as well as I.
I will tell you my profile is very real and I'm here to find someone. It's pretty clear about what I want including my interests as well.
I can't speak for everyone else though so for that, you have to find out for yourself. | |
