Profile Honesty
How honest should we be on our profiles?Would it put people off, or would it simply attract the type we are really looking for, and who are looking for us?
Should physical disabilities/abnormalities be put out there?
What about mental issues, from mild depression to dipshit loco?
Some people have no problem with either mental or physical issues, some even are attracted to them.
Same with body size. Should we put our BMI (Body Mass Index) on our profile. Although not a perfect method of measurement, is it not better than 'average ' or 'curvy' which means different things to different people.
Again, lots of people like fat or skinny people, and it would save them time in guessing/searching.
If we are selfish; unfaithful; possessive; short-tempered; undependable; argumentative; lazy; only want casual sex, etc., is it not better to say it?
If you want a partner to support you financially, why not say it? Some people want others to be dependent on them. Match made in heaven.
How honest should we be? And how able would people be to accept that honesty?

I know a couple who met in my garden for a CS Mini-meet, and they are still living together nearly 4 years later.
At least the you know that anybody who does converse with you, has no problem with that particular part of you.
It take’s effort to get to know someone, their habits, their personality, their interests, their passions, personality and you can expect everything to be laid out on a silver platter, because dating takes work, time and energy, so lazy people won’t get what they want and will have to make a lot of effort to do get what you want
Molly you ask too much and when you start talking about finances, then you really are putting a concrete wall up and romance is not top on your list of priorities and financial support is, so a red flag would be waving
The reason a lot of men are going MGTOW is, because women used them and took them to the cleaners in divorces, so the last thing a man would want is a woman asking Q & A about his finances, job, home etc, because it’s not worth the risk with those types of women
What you ask for will never happen on online dating sites and never should, because nothing is ever cut and dry, so like it or lump it

Can't instead of can
Typo
I think its got to be the gym
As long as it does not say oi won the lottery or anything like that
I personally wouldn't want to find out when I am already dating them if they have/are something I don't have the tools/experience to deal with.
I gave it a try. I just asked some lady to marry me a moment ago. She wrote back to me, "Eat my shorts!"
See, just doesn't work for me.
But it can't get it right if a person puts in the incorrect DOB at the beginning
should john i put on profile (i can look after myself financial can you) only folk that can need e-mail me
I think that is why a meeting up should be done after all e-mails.
Obviously honesty is an important part of promoting oneself, however, one's profile is the only forum people have to "market" themselves, therefore, I would suggest all profiles tend to highlight only the positives and none of the negatives.
As for how people would accept that honesty, I would say the statement "never trust a second hand car dealer" would be the most appropriate!
And selling oneself is more personal than selling cars
Started to shine.
Fancy shorts on their way to you
I ignore them.
I only interact with people who have a decent profile up, and/or who have properly read mine.
Its been suggested that someone who knows you should write your profile, they would be honest and perhaps show your best qualities that you wouldn't think of.
I just wrote on paper an honest "about me" and "about my match", I maybe biased but I wouldnt even look at me, Id probably close the screen is disgust.
A few people here know me quite well, I'd be interested to see what they would say.
Reality is that you will always get lies or white lies from people and that will never change, so adapt to reality or continue with your tick box list and continue to feel more and more frustrated, because romance is not your main priority and money is
Oh, how little you know me.
It is THAT bad....
