A supplementary element?
“Dont ask what I can do for you, tell me what you can do for me.” This was a statement I made at a job interview several years ago, it took the interviewer by surprise but never the less I got the job.Prompted by a question I asked a fellow blogger (and subsequent reply), it occurred to me that the profile format of CS is lacking what I believe could be considered an important aspect in sorting the chaff from the wheat in finding the type of person we are looking for.
An additional section to the profile format should be included, the heading to be something along the lines of “What I can bring to a relationship” (requires further verification).
In this section members should list/explain/detail what attributes they can offer to the other person in any potential relationship/partnership/affair etc.
What do you think... Useful or not?

What can I bring to a relationship.... I can complicate your life, you would never be bored again.
So it can be kept as ammunition when the other party don't keep their part of the bargain...
Refer section 3, point 1.1a
It sounds like a business deal and takes away the element of surprise.
When someone tickles my fancy I normally get my answers without asking questions...
"I can complicate your life, you would never be bored again"
Eeeeeeeeek!
"kept as ammunition when the other party don't keep their part of the bargain"
Its not to say what someone details is written in stone. As you put it so well ... its just an indication as to how you could "tickle" someones fancy!
Your reply reminded me of a guy that went on a date, for the first hour the woman did nothing buy talk about herself, then she says to the guy...
"Thats enough about me... what do you think about me?"
I have suffered sufficient painful comments from what I post on this site. I cant imagine the torture I would have to endure if I was the one making the list.
Perhaps "what do you bring to the table" should be the heading in the profile.
