What do all the different kinds of fish mean...the ones you can choose under your profile? Is there a list of what they mean, or is it just random?

    Go to Edit Profile ...


    Your Fish Personality

    ... and choose whatever Item you feel most closely
    reflects you or you can identify with.

    When done, click


    Plentyoffish ... each User on Site subject to be caught
    by some prospective Mate can said to be a "Fish".

    Each of the "Fish Personalities" have Attributes native
    to Sea World Creatures, their Activities and Habitats,
    and you might feel some of those may be Descriptive of
    you, or something about you.

    Its prime Purpose is to break the Ice ... something to talk
    about, if you can't think of anything else. You can always
    E-Mail another User and inquire why they consider
    themselves to be a Shark, Blowfish, Crab, etc.

    Just one more Item from Plentyoffish's never-
    ending Saga of "Fun in the Sun" ... ... and I thought I
    could keep a straight Face ...

I know how to change it...obviously.

That wasn't my question. I want to know if they have actual meanings/definitions. Or is it just a large random list of different types of marine life?

OP - you don't have to use this feature if you don't find it cute/interesting or fun.

I thought it was an appealing and playful idea for those of us who enjoy humor and teasing. Thanks for doing it.

I still have "no personality", but I guess it's up to me to fix that.

There are plenty that arnt fish. Like turtle. I just think it would be more fun if there was a funny list of "meanings" for all of them.

My guess is that it's done intentionally to promote emailing another member to perhaps explain why he/she thinks they're a "Blowfish", a "Hammerhead", a "Suckerfish", even a "Bottomdweller" .. etc.

Perhaps it would prove more entertaining than some lame canned descriptions IMO ... I'm surprised "Sperm Whale", isn't a choice ....

I'm sure Admin thanks you for the enlightenment on Zoology and Taxonomy. however the intent is probably somewhat far from being used as a possible reference link for any high-school projects - not to worry, there are disclaimers in the Terms of Service with respect to posted material on the site.

A clam may do in a pinch

Oh come on. Some people are never happy & don't know the meaning of light hearted fun. I guess you definately have "no personality"



Can I suggest adding one for Flying Fish please...

OK... I give up.... I have looked all over, and there is no "Fish Personality" selector on my edit profile page. Is this only for paying members, or did it move to somewhere else since your post?

THanks

in your edit profile, it should be there, right under "postal code" on the left hand column.

Headline

postal code

fish personality*

I checked mine, and it is still there.

Well, that's cuz I'm blind in one eye, and can't see out of the other!

I was looking for a big blue box like the examples showed.

Thanks

Be nice if there were some descriptions to atribute to this, even if they were just one-liners that didn't really mean anything.

I get its not really meant to be a serious function but still, it could help with picking and also help to see why others chose theirs.

Could be an extra fun pointer for finding out about how someone portrays themselves if they've chosen one that's like "Turtle: Steady and protective" or "Crab: *Pinch!" or something hehe.

Yep! I think it would be nice to be able to choose your own "personality" to put some humour, naughtiness and location into it. Check out this website:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fish_common_names

Boney toungue, swallower, suckerfish, slimehead, horn shark.....

Colorado squawfish, American sole, Australian lungfish..............

Forehead brooder, Pelican gulper, Shark sucker, etc etc.

........and Sperm whale?.......good one trapped.

I joined the site a while ago, and there was an actual test I took to figure out what I was. I can't remember where I found it though...
