Why do you think people put the following info into their profiles \/

"I'm NOT superior,

NOT condescending,

NOT deceiving,

NOT manipulative,

NOT abusive,

NOT a doofus,

NOT etc., etc., ... "

...in order to give an accurate description of themselves?

What gives, peoples? hmmm

I dunno. Seems to me it'd be more productive to list what you are rather than what you aren't in a profile.

Hiya, Larry wave

Being yourself = being REAL = just fine thumbs up

It's when someone works so very hard to convince people that s/he is NOT-this-and-NOT-that, it's a very clear message, IMO.

I agree.

They are trying to convince both:

you and themselves.

The same with people who keeps repeating "Trust me". violin

Saying the above is sort of a contrary positive. Perhaps those writing what they are allegedly not, should also include an expiry date...like : "I am NOT a doofus" (expires Dec. 25, 2009)...that could clear up any lingering doubts; people can't live with doubts! They must know... now!laugh

(Hallo Laura!wave )
