Posted: 7/23/2007 5:56:49 AM | Most of us are on pof looking for something, the few lucky ones are now giving it a try. Many treads have covered the whys and how’s to the perfect profile, but is it what you truly want or look for, that is sometimes secretly written between your lines.. a fellow poster once opened up the idea of a hidden code, to which I found strangely true in some cases of the people I have gotten to know from pof.
If the person was looking for an emotional or biological need, e.g. Lust, desire, casual, or starting a family.. They are going to write more about what you should look like appearance wise, or how they expect you to act, and what you should like.. or get to like.
Those wanting longer term seem to write more about their family values, and standards of behaviours in themselves. May even describe their dreams,or goals, along the life lines, As a family package.
And the many seeking just friends or other, maybe talking of a loneliness, and bypass the values, and desires, to open up more about their personality, the worlds outlook, and of course a high interest in your personality too.
So could there be a truth of the hidden factors..? lets debate! | |

Posted: 7/23/2007 6:07:59 AM | Here's something I've noticed .....
If a man is uncomfortable with his thinning hair/bald head, he only has pictures on his profile which cut off the top of his head!
As for a persons needs/wants being found between the lines - I guess so.
Though, whether or not the examples given above are true is something I feel one cannot really say unless one has met, and got to know, the person who's profile one is disecting! | |

Posted: 7/23/2007 7:07:08 AM | I think the pictures on the profiles sometimes tell you a lot - like a guy with his primary pic is him hugging a beer means he might very well be a soak who only posts after the pub has shut.
And when they don't have a pic they tell you they have "a stalker" aka the missus.
But where is the evidence to substantiate the OP's asumptions? Personal or off another website? By an acknowledged psychologist or by a bar room counsellor?

Posted: 7/23/2007 7:11:19 AM | Nothing hidden in mine as my new header says "WYSIWYG"! I have shortened my profile now because I don't think anyone really bothers to read it anyway! | |

Posted: 7/23/2007 7:47:12 AM | i've been blatantly honest in mine about what i will and won't tolerate.
sure if you;re header is "dating" then fine, you wouldn't worry how many others someone is seeing,
if, like me you'd like a long term/permanent relationship with someone, then i doubt anyone would expect the other person to be seeing others??
to me (at least) it would be like being married and being ok with your partner having a "bit on the side"
as for codes..
hmmmmm not sure.
i tend to avoid people who say " i don't take myself/life seriously" hell fire, life isn't a game, and you only get one not something to be allowed to slip away.
i may get avoided because i was honest enough to say i smoke. i wont share a man etc, so, what does OP think are the "codes" in my profile? i'd be interested to know considering i've qualified in psychology. | |

Posted: 7/23/2007 7:54:37 AM | | Got to be honest I wouldn't even like to guess what hidden meanings are in my profile, lol, but then again I couldn't take myself to seriously when I wrote it lol. Does there have to be a hidden meaning, why not just take what is said at face value. | |

Posted: 7/23/2007 8:01:29 AM | I dont have any hidden code in my profile either, its there for all to see who wish to look at it and up to them what they make of it.
If someone wants to phyco analysis it and come up with with a professsional opinion feel free.
Edit...Answers on a grain of sand please. | |

Posted: 7/23/2007 9:25:19 AM | Whooooooh!! lets slow down a little here.. its not a hit on the OP. but if you must i can take it..lol.
but the question was what do you think about reading a pattern in some profiles.. and/or have you noticed???
i did not once say or act, like a qualified aything . just supplying a thread for debateble answers to a simple observation.  | |

oh im so sorry OP if you thought i said you were saying you were qualified. (if its my post you're referring to) wasn't my intention to allude to that at all. what i said was "I'm qualified" and id be interested to know whether the codes you were told about said anything about my profile.
again i apologise for any misunderstanding 
Am i missing something here? Again definitions of what your looking for seems to have passed me by??
ummmm its monday evening, i'm blonde...... and i don't quite understand how you didnt understand what i was saying, but will of course try to clarify.
"Some" peoples header is "Dating" if i see this then i pass by.... because if you're only wanting dates, no more, then to me at least means it would just be a "date" and you'd have many more lined up or on a regular basis. no, i'm not saying that is wrong, everyones choice is "their choice".
MY choice however is hopefully for a long term relationship with exclusivity. i do say in my profile "one who will give up the many for THE one". (hopefully meaning me)
i'm worth it..
also .... (she says rolling her eyes) i'm getting on in years. ive been alone a long time and don't wish to share a man anymore like i had to in my marriage.
hope this has clarifyed? | |

Posted: 7/23/2007 10:31:18 AM | Humm, there are so many codes in my profile, it would take 007 to read them lol
Actually, I am an extremely uncomplicated lady.. but you have to look past the pics, and the profile to find me... arent' we all a bit like that really... you cant really work out a persons character, until you have met them! | |

waves her hand in the air...... i have. its called intuition (gut feeling) you know when you mail with someone or chat to them on here or the phone and you think "'ang on a minute"
when you get this hmmmm something isn't right?
i've always been spot on and never been afraid to say what i've picked up to the person in question.
ok , so i am a witch , but, i'm sure everyone can do it? | |

Posted: 7/23/2007 10:43:48 AM | | I think that some people are genuinely shy, or hide behind bravado which just happens to be the pc.. (not in my case I'd like to add, what you see is what you get). But men are so complicated, and the things they say and write on here, they would not dare repeat face to face with a lady, the pc gives them the same sort of courage they would have after a night on the beer with their mates. So take everything with a pinch of salt is my motto.. after all, you never know who you might be turning down. | |

Posted: 7/23/2007 11:03:43 AM | I do agree with the intuition bit their Laine, (and it wasnt you) lol. 
but i also agree with our bette noir.. and intuition gets educated when we meet a person, and on many occassions we find it is then we may have misread some of the signs or feelings. or underestimated the power, what we already knew through our gut instincts. | |

from writing to me... I thought it was because I was a boring ugly fecker! | |

Posted: 7/23/2007 11:33:22 AM | The main thing that I'd say I could spot, is those men that say so little, cos they are either not too comfortable with baring their soul, or cos they want no more than a quickie.
Apart from that - I wouldn't have a clue about any hidden code.
Check out mine Boybounty - what does mine say? | |

this is what i mean though..i didnt realise it meant what you think it means..wonder how many other meanings there are with the headers... | |

I have been trying for the last hour to read between the lines.. To crack the code... But all i can see is just white bits... ie Nothing Absolutely Nothing... Take it from me really really Really Nothing
Maybe i will try later with the aid of a special cigarette... Hopefully #I can see clearly now..# (Jimmy Cliff) | |

Posted: 7/23/2007 4:36:57 PM | Must admit im lazy with profiles, i never read the bits about dating or relationship and such.
I go right into the main part, have a read of that and then if it sparks me i will read the other parts. Do most people know exactly what they want from POF? I know i dont, im just here to see what happens, im very laid back and expect nothing.
Mind you i might try and pay some more attention and try and find some hidden codes, i remember somebody recently who wrote complete nonsense in their description ie:
bajbdjbfd dhd
ddhoinnoinoe
enbeoeone
It appealed to me for some bizzare reason, probably the humour and i messaged back the same way, we had a good few chats and she was delightfully insane (not knife under the pillow insane) which appealed to me.
I dont know if this in itself was some kind of code but it certainly clicked with me. | |
