It's a rough life no matter which sex you are. If we want to attract the opposite sex, keep it positive. There's plenty of time in the initial exchange of emails to tell someone what you don't like.

That's just my opinion. Take it or leave it.

Hope you all have a good dating experience, at least once in awhile.

Agreed

I often w0nder how people with negative profiles manage to get any dates. Who wants to see a list of all the things they hate in life? What a downer...

I see the negative adds and hope they stay because it's a quike way to see what they are all about. Many of them really do make you cringe though.

I agree 100%... though I will say, positive is more fun to share with company. :-D

I prefer angry rants and hostile, bitter comments indicative of a mental health issue. In this way, a lot of my time has been conserved for better use elsewhere :)

Negative profiles leave one feeling sort of depressed and...sticky, somehow. Geez, folks! Of course there are nutcases around, but my Mom always told me "if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.". Wise woman, my Mom...even if I do have to go days without speaking sometimes. JK.

That being said, sometimes profiles can be so overwhelmingly positive and perky that they make my head ache, especially if the member feels the need to insist that he or she is a positive person, rather than just demonstrating it by their lighthearted demeanor or anecdotes.

It's all about balance, I guess. And if you have bad balance, just write one that will make half of those reading it laugh, and the other half scratch their heads in bewilderment:)

LOL; good advice mgb but it made me laugh. You said be positive but then said, take it or leave it which sounded pretty negative.

I agree; don't be negative or cynical. Just be pleasant, don't get too deep and have fun. When you fall in love then you can be negative and cynical :)
