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?

options are Never, socially, trying to quit, regularly-
I have on mine never but thats not true. I have smoked in my past and during this year I have smoked 2 cigarettes.. So its not never but I´m not a social smoker. It doesn´t give me the option to say When I feel like one I have one..
Do you have kids: I would have to tick three of the options here.. it doesnt just let me say Yes.
So as honest as posible ...
Body type I wish i could say curvy overwieght person.. I´m not just a few pounds overweight at the moment I huge but I guess I´m lucky as I´m curvy all over..
So are they 3 lies, it doesn´t give me the option to give my reality
Well the truth, I didn`t even look at your profile before meeting you but you were just as expected. Everyone at the table recognized you even before you came close to say hi.
I know, most people feel the same way about you and the phone/Skype.
It is probably the most natural thing to do.
But next to self is, the thing I hate most is talking on the phone. That feels very unnatural to me. So, I'd prefer to just meet the person and see if we get on in real life instead.
Go ahead, Bear, whip me with a wet noodle
A profile is like a business card.
an invitation to talk
why would i want to put that i'm hung like a horse on here? i find it is not the most important
Single depressed male living at home seeks anyone who is not ashamed to be seen with him in public.
Even though I don't live in the city my address is actually delivered from the city of Cincinnati,Ohio so would I be considered a liar if I use the name of location as Northgate?
In regards to my eye color as I had written in describing myself within my profile where I made a funny in regards to my eye color and that maybe i should wear the color lens so my eye color could be any color i so choose it to be.
As long as it is in the correct catchment area for somebody who wants to meet you, then you are being truthful.
Lies on a profile will generally lead to mistrust from a prospective partner
